Contrary to what people say about all updaters being the same, it is not true. There have been several instances of multiple releases of a firmware update. It occured with earlier updaters though recent releases have generally been identical.

Here’s a quick list, but because most sites only post a single version of an update I’ve been unable to find the alternate versions. Though I have both 2.00 updaters as you see in the list.

Im still looking for the others so if you have an eboot that does not match the following hashes let me know, specifically:

1.52 (MD5: B976783070C12C4ED81CC27785222491)

2.60 (MD5: A69A022FCE43B614A8CB305786F59855)

EDIT: added 3.80, added 3.90, added 3.93, added 3.95

Note: there were two releases of the 3.93 EBOOT however the app itself stayed the same so there’s only one version listed. There were only minor changes to the packaging of the EBOOT, an extra 0×1000 null bytes for the PBP Header, and an extra 0×10 byte hash added to the end of the PSAR. Strangely enough, the extra 0×1000 bytes were taken out again for 3.95.
