What firmware are you running?

[MikeDX]

I'm intrigued as to what you are all running, since I'm convinced that V1.5 psps should now be dropping in numbers thanks to 2.71SE-X

All of my working psp's run 2.71SE, the bricked one soon to be running Epsilon bios.

[Kramer]

Yep im on 2.71-SE the greatest firmware there is.

[BL4Z3D247]

2.71SE baby!!!! 1.5 is too much work and now that uflash is out i have everything i had on my 1.5 :)

[Baboon]

I havent been that bothered about changing.

Everything I want works fine already on 1.5 thanyou very much. :)

[BL4Z3D247]

why do people act like 1.5 traits aren't in 2.71SE :rolleyes: it's like the same damn thing only u have the ability to load the latest UMDs without devhook, hell u can run ISOs without devhook now(even though that's bad mmmkay :)), there is really no downside to 2.71SE now cuz we have:

uflash(2.71SE's xflash)
cheat devices(gta, and cwcheat)
devhook, reverse devhook
ALL emus work
we can change cpu clockspeed for games to 300mhz with wifi

what more do u want?

[ExcruciationX]

I'm running on 2.71 SE!

[Baboon]

why do people act like 1.5 traits aren't in 2.71SE :rolleyes:
what more do u want?



Sharks with frickin' laser beams! :D

[MikeDX]

Sharks with frickin' laser beams! :D

Or bees? Or dogs and bees? Dogs with bees in their
mouths that shoot bees at you?

[BL4Z3D247]

Or bees? Or dogs and bees? Dogs with bees in their
mouths that shoot bees at you?
LMFAO, what about dogs that spit bees at u and the the bees have lasers and when u get hit the blood attracts the sharks :p, everyone wins!!!! :D

[althena77]

Also 2.71 SE here, I can do everything I could under 1.5 and more now. Also I think it is more convenient as I don't have to use Devhook for later games.

[JKKDARK]

1.5 ... forever :)

[bullhead]

Interesting how this is shaping out. More 2.71 SE's than 1.5! I prefer 2.71 SE

[BL4Z3D247]

2.71SE - 9
1.5 - 7

they're catching up!!! :eek: lol

[Apoklepz]

2.71 SE-B' here...yes, I finally upgraded...the un-civilized way:)

[Cloudhunter]

Or bees? Or dogs and bees? Dogs with bees in their
mouths that shoot bees at you?
I knew exactly what you were both talking about :P Man i'm sad...

On that note, I upgraded to SE-A when it first came out, and now i'm on SE-B' . And i'm never going back :D

The only gripe I previously had with 2.71SE, is that 1.5 homebrew needed to be in GAME150! But with SE-B, even that isn't a problem! You can set 1.5 homebrew to the GAME folder, and anything that is in GAME271, GAME, and GAME150 folder will all be detected :D Oh Joy :P

Cloudy

[D0N]

1.5 ... forever :)

Same here, I've had an original 1.50 psp for 1 and a half years now...I can't leave it :p

[Shrygue]

I high time am on custom firmware 2.71 SE-B on my two PSP units. Being able to play homebrew formatted for 1.00, 1.50 2.71 SE or HEN, as well as Son'y officaly signed demo EBOOTs. The extra features in 2.71 SE-B are simply the greatest.

[BL4Z3D247]

alright keep those 2.71SE's rolling in :D

[M!ckeY]

*flies in* 2.71SE-B one day, and 1.50 another day..i can't make up my mind :P *flies away*

[BL4Z3D247]

*flies in* 2.71SE-B one day, and 1.50 another day..i can't make up my mind :P *flies away*
damn u love flashing ur psp :p if u want 1.5 just use devhook to emualte it(or are u doing that and i'm just talking that jibba jabba :cool:)

[JKKDARK]

lol poor 2.8, 2.81 or 2.82 user :p

[BlackShark]

indeed, 2.71SE-B

[MikeDX]

*flies in* 2.71SE-B one day, and 1.50 another day..i can't make up my mind :P *flies away*

LOL if you weren't making fun, I'd advise you that NAND are only good for so many flashes....

[BL4Z3D247]

LOL if you weren't making fun, I'd advise you that NAND are only good for so many flashes....
approximately 1000 flashes, give or take :)

[MikeDX]

so 3 years then ;)

[BL4Z3D247]

so 3 years then ;)
well i've flashed mine between 50-60 times from all the neato stuff that came out(cfw, downgrader, gameboots, fonts, backgrounds and a few updates :o) and i've had my psp for a year this coming christmas

[Mr. Shizzy]

Someday, when there is a 3.0 SE, I will say goodbye to 1.5. (Well actually I use HarleyG's 0.2). That will be the true "golden firmware". What I don't understand is, why would anyone want to flash a 2.71 hybrid firmware on their PSP, only to have to risk it in the future to update to "the next big thing" ? I personally, plan on getting a PS3. So 2.71 hybrid, just isn't going to cut it for me. Not to knock it, I think it is amazing. But I'm just thinking about the big picture.



EDIT: MikeDX, do you know exactly how many times the nand can be flashed? I wasn't aware that it could only be flashed a certain amount of times.

[MikeDX]

So far its almost straight down the middle, 14-12 split in favour of the 2.71SE (and a 2.8X ;))

Very interesting indeed...

[BL4Z3D247]

two 2.8X's MikeDX

and Mr. Shizzy, people have flashed thier psp for fonts and gameboots, ect. over and over again, why not for a custom fw? i would much rather have a better cfw than a font or background every month(maybe u don't go crazy with the fonts, ect. but some people do)

[Mr. Shizzy]

True. But I have HarleyG's 0.2, so I could recover a brick from flashing font, gameboots, ect. If you overwrite critical prx files, and something goes wrong- you are screwed. (unless you go through the mod chip fiasco)



EDIT: How do you like the new avatar? I wanted to make a "videogame" version of me. I thought it came out kind of cool. :D

[NoQuarter]

I'm staying on 1.5 untill I see a need to change,right now I don't see a need.

[JKKDARK]

Yeah, 14-14!! :D

[Mr. Shizzy]

No quarter, are you a female? (just wondering b/c of your avatar)

[NoQuarter]

No I'm not a female,Julia just kicks ass.She's my best character,nothin like an ultra hard ifinite elbow combo.I'm the only one of my friends who can do it :)

[Rocksil]

2.71 SE baby:cool:

[BL4Z3D247]

1.5ers turns on psp...

2.71SEers turns on psp...

ect.
ect.

[Mr. Shizzy]

What are you gonna do when higher firmware emulation is possible?

[NoQuarter]

I guess they're just gonna emulate it ;P
I've considered upgrading,but probably won't until x-flash is compatible.I just trust Arts app.

[blackrave]

2.71SE-B' here. The greatest firmware at the moment.. I was a little skeptical to it at first, but thought I could just upgrade and see what it was like, and downgrade if I didn't like it. But I ended up loving it.

It really whips the llamas ass. I recommend all skeptics to at least upgrade and try it out. It's a simple manner to downgrade to good old 1.50 again.

[Kramer]

I guess they're just gonna emulate it ;P

Yes exactly we will just emulate it like on 1.5 but then you will say then theres no point of 2.71 SE. But no there is, the browser runs alot alot better while on the flash plus more memory for it rather than devhook I would get the "run out of memory" thingy but when it's on flash I hardly ever get that..

[NoQuarter]

I probably will upgrade when it's an older more established,as for right now only x-flash for 2.71SE could get me to upgrade.I don't really use the psp to browse the web, I've almost always got my laptop,now if I could just get my wireless to work for both OS's

[jak66]

3 ppl on 2.8X now, silly ppl they r

me on 2.71 SE, but to mr shizzy, i dobt there will be a 3.0 SE, as 2.71 SE if almost taking up all of the flash as it is and with each update getting bigger and bigger, will the be enough room for the 3.0, 1.5 bootstrap and any extra files needed to be on the flash?

[MikeDX]

1.5ers turns on psp...

lol

too true.

[Distortional]

To be honest. It sounds too good to be true. I use 1.5 and devhook and custom firmware. I like the sound of it. Sell the idea to me ... Why should I upgrade and how?

[MikeDX]

interesting. Who is running 2.01, 1.51 or 1.52 ??

[Mr. Shizzy]

How do I uninstall it, if I don't like it?

[MikeDX]

put the eboot of the firmware you want to downgrade to in your recovery dir, hold the R button when you boot the psps and run the recovery mode.

[Kramer]

interesting. Who is running 2.01, 1.51 or 1.52 ??

you can see who voted by clicking on one of the numbers of the votes.

How the hell did kamon vote for all of them?

[MikeDX]

Oh yeah...

well, i gave the option to vote for more than one since some people have more than one psp.

Kamon I'm gonna slap you ;)

[V3N0M]

2.71 SE is just to good. Best firmware there is.

[archangel1024]

Dark_alex ownz any firmware modder ever. SE is way better than 1.5, you have all the features of 1.5 (homebrew, now that there's U-Flash customablity) and all the 2.71 features (WMA, Flash, Web Browser, AAC videos, all the other features) in one firmware. it 0WNZZZ!!!!!

[BL4Z3D247]

wow it's still really close

[yungro]

hey im new on this shit but what is there to do with 2.80 firmware

[yungro]

wow it's still really close
what is there to do with fw2.80

[BL4Z3D247]

what is there to do with fw2.80
TIFF games work on 2.8

[Roxas]

Blaze so basicly 1.5 is dead.Lol & 2.7 Owneds Now!

[BL4Z3D247]

Blaze so basicly 1.5 is dead.Lol & 2.7 Owneds Now!
2.71SE-B' to be exact and yes IMHO it pwns 1.5

[pibs]

im gona try the 2.71SE-B right now, does it take long to install cuz the 2.71 fw is taking a while to download

[GobboFett]

1.5 For The Horde!!!

[pibs]

one question for the 2.71se-b, can i flash it with themepsp to put custom font? or does it result in a brick too scared to try

Edit: yep it does >< thank god for recoverymode

[Mr. Shizzy]

You want to use a program called U Flash.

[MikeDX]

2.71SE-B'' now ;)

[Accordion]

which homebrew doesnt work...i would only update for 100% compatibility (and im not really bothered about flashing apps)

and i find that Links2 web browser is much better than the official one.

[MikeDX]

links2 web browser is dire.

there is no homebrew that doesnt work apart from flashing apps

[Accordion]

hmmm, i may update, im becomming convinced, and VCS comes out tomorrow (hopefully 2.81 at the most)

im guessing i need to revert back to real 1.50 from the harleyg custom, and i bet i need to re install the original theme. but well it seems sensible, and i guess i can always go back to 1.50...

[BL4Z3D247]

well VCS is needs fw 2.71 and it works in devhook or 2.71SE-B", and u don't need to revert back to anything when upgrading to 2.71SE-B" since it rewrites ur entire flash :)

[Accordion]

are you sure about not reverting back to original 1.50

[IronX]

So all homebrew works on 2.71 SE-B + iso?... also CDs?

Can 2.71 SE-B do everything 1.5 can?

[BL4Z3D247]

are you sure about not reverting back to original 1.50
i did it with harleyg's cfw, all my homebrews, and devhook and the installation was smooth(same with my bro's)

[splodger15]

This poll is very close

[Cheyzak]

1.50 user here. I'm still new to the PSP scene and I found on many places on the net that 1.50 is still the best for homebrew. Plus I always wanted to try DevHook.:D

[BL4Z3D247]

2.71SE-B" runs all homebrew except flashing apps, and it runs devhook....in a nutshell it's a 1.5 with 2.71 features(or vice versa)

[Accordion]

is homebrew launching slower than 1.5...???

[BL4Z3D247]

is homebrew launching slower than 1.5...???
i haven't noticed a huge difference...he did say something about when booting ur psp from a hard restart it take a couple seconds longer but disableing the $ony logo makes it normal or close to it

[JD/]

Add one more to the 1.5 I love dual booting on harley gs and thats the way its gonna stay I could;nt have a psp without a nice 1.5 flash since i was wanting it for ages :D.

Now its a tie at 36 votes each 1.5 and 2.71se

Hey is it possible to dualboot into 2.71 se using devhook.

[Accordion]

i did it, now on 2.71SE-B" , great so far...

[Emeriastone]

Go 1.5!!

[PSPdemon]

i love my 1.5 psp..... i probably wont ever change

sure...you can play new games for right now....but wait until the new games come out with 2.8X +..... and suòe....you have internet...but i rarely use the internet feature or online modes ( which is really sad )

1.5 for life!

nuf said :D

[psp828]

2.71SE-B" will always have devhook(for 1.5 and 2.71) :)

[Roxas]

By look at this most peeps r upgrading to 2.71, but later on "!$?"ony will put more security n have u upgrade to pla y games n by the look at this to releas of the ps3 u might have to have 3.0 to play all of the psx games. But how knows till the releas of ps3.

[NoQuarter]

seeing as how most people won't be able to get a ps3 I really don't see any need to update.Only new game I'll wanna play is metal gear portable ops.I'm sure somebody will take care of being able to run it though =p

Wow, 1.5 has pulled ahead.

[Accordion]

1.50 minus one...im know on 2.71SE-B"

[Baboon]

I see at the mo that people are preffering the old skool 1.5's over the 2.7se ( 43 to 39)... it's all very close though. :)


This was quite an interesting poll.

[IronX]

I havn't voted yet :), still waiting for my PSP and hope I don't brick my first PSP.

[steve-b]

I run 1.50, but this custom 2.71 is tempting. I guess the problem is, I know 1.50 inside out and the fear of change is big. I bet alot of 1.50 users are thinking the same. why change what aint broken?

[Tetris999]

2.71SE sucks keep the 1.5 it has less problems screwin with it SUCH as the cheat device 4 grandtheft auto

[JKKDARK]

Haha 1.5 is kicking 2.71SE ass :p

[Cap'n 1time]

I just perfer my custom 1.5... I would probably upgrade to the hacked 2.7 firmware... but im to damn lazy to learn how.

Ahh, correct :)... sorry :D.

[BL4Z3D247]

damn down by 5, well my bro has 2.71SE-B"!!! so that's 2.71SE(45) :D

so we're down by 4 now :p

[chrono75]

Does 2.71 allow for higher memory? When I had a 2.6 my SNES TYL didnt run as smooth as my new 1.5 and I was using the standard SNES TYL and not the ME edition both times. Can someone clarify this?
