Very Interesting News, as soon as any more news appears we will have it.

EDIT: Firstly people, i didnt know anything about this until a few minutes before posting the News, so i do not know the answer to half of your questions.

Thirdly, the PSX emu hack lets you share with other people, which means you can play PS1 games without a PS3, however, the games have to be the ones gotten from the playstation store and distributing them is illegal.

Finally, i do not know if Dark_AleX is working on this, but my guess is that he is, as this is basically a sooped up version of 2.71 SE. This is 2.71 SE with 3.02 instead of 2.71

[Xiofire]

Awesome, glad they havent remove much, and the region free UMD Movie play back sounds interesting. Is this done by Dark Alex?

[splodger15]

This is very good news

[ExcruciationX]

AWESOME! I might have to do a tut on this...

[JD/]

This is interesting news I've always stayed at 1.5 but I imight have to see what this has to offer especially if you can play the offical psone games.

[imagecko]

wait is this like 2.71se-c just with 3.0? confuzed, but sounds awsome.

[Jmax]

This is really good news. I love 2.7SE, Cant wait for this :)

[DPyro]

Interesting...:)

[dagger89]

I predict 10,000 noobs asking where to download the PSX isos after this comes out... and my PM box to overflow, like with PS1P.... Time to fill my pm box....

Anyway, awesome news, especially considering I just got a PS3 :p!!!

[mikebeaver]

The news about UMD-region free is great, lol.
Sounds kinda funny but that is how I got into the homebrew scene, by trying to find an app that would allow the use of import UMD's, only now does it look like this will be availiable, thanks a lot Mathieulh and Co, good work.

[kpaul_nyc]

Wow that's great. I can't wait!!!! I'm really curious about the ps3 emulator though...

[ICE]

is this 2.71 SE only 3.0 ?????

[SSaxdude]

DAX is always the best. I'll be upgrading to 3.0 OE-A, even though I just downgraded back to 1.5 from 2.71 SE-C.

[Accordion]

someone should edit the first post....

[TacticalBread]

Awesome news :D

and what's this about the SCE PSX emulator being hacked?

[aradroxar]

OK i know 2 people have already asked this question, so can someone please tell us...is this like the custom firmware of 2.71 only for 3.00? tats all we wanna know...please....

[dagger89]

Awesome news :D

and what's this about the SCE PSX emulator being hacked?

It basically means that the PSX isos downloaded from the Playstation Store, via the PS3 can now be played... They weren't working in devhook 0.50 or 0.51 for some reason...

With 3.02 OE-A, those games can now be played, as the DRM (protection in the games, locking them to a specific psp) has been removed... This means that:
A) You can download PSX isos on the PS3 and play them on a 3.02 OE-A PSP....
B) You can download PSX isos on the internet (PIRACY BAD, DON'T DO THIS) and play them on a 3.02 OE-A PSP.....

Remember, they HAVE TO BE ISOS FROM THE PLAYSTATION ONLINE STORE.... Not isos from CDs you backed up....

And remember, piracy kills... You will die if you pirate them

[NSCXP2005]

this is FANTASTIC. When they mention UMD Movie region free, it would be great to have UMD Movie ISO support.

[mikebeaver]

It seems as if there has been a few bugs in the testing of this so it is going to be delayed a little, will keep you posted with any news I can get.

[shango46]

Now I know this is going to come off as a complete n00b question but I have to ask. Will it be possible to run on a TA-082 PSP? Maybe through DevHook? Just want to know as I really want something different.

[aradroxar]

OK i know 2 people have already asked this question, so can someone please tell us...is this like the custom firmware of 2.71 only for 3.00? tats all we wanna know...please....

[kiariki]

Ok, someone answer me one thing: This is to be used with firmware 3.0? Like a firmware 2.70 emulator or something like that?

I'm still on 1.50 but I wanna play new games... >_>

[dejkirkby]

I think this may be the firmware to be labeled "Golden Firmware."

[bmwlover89]

sorry im a noob but you gots ta start out somewhere right...all i was wondering is 3.0 OE-A is gonna be basicly the same thing as 2.71? so i can put emus on it and umds right?.:confused:

[mikebeaver]

Yeah, basically it looks like its gonna be a mix of 1.5 and 3.0 with most of the functionallity retained.
Unfortunately you will almost certainly need to have a PSP that can be run as a 1.50 to start with and I dont hold much luck for the TA-086'ers out thre, sorry :(

[joshisposer]

This still means you can't back up your old psx discs right? I don't like sony for that, i have like 20 classics, like the tony hawks and twisted metals and odd world that i really want to play without having to pay for it again. so, how will these games get pirated or w/e. i would try atleast once to pirate a game of my own to see if it works when it comes out

[bmwlover89]

so i have 2.80 will i still be able to upgrade to the 3.0OE-A or no...i dont have the ta-086 mobo

[Mr. Shizzy]

This is great news!!! And it makes me even happier that I just ordered a Chotto Shot camerea off E-Bay. :D

[joshisposer]

Also, will this still have prx loading? I really enjoyed that. Also:

THIS IS BETTER THAN DEVHOOK AGAIN!!! DevHook may start it, but will never dominate it! yay, i love custom firmwares

[keefurxxcore]

this is gonna be pretty sweet, i updated to 2.81 for MGS: PO, and it was worth it. it will probably be worth it to "upgrade" to 3.00 OA or w/e it is

[AlphAcossX]

ps1 games are now playable on homebrew enabled psp! and at full speed with the official sce ps1! o boy psp is heaning for a revalution! wooot

[mikebeaver]

so i have 2.80 will i still be able to upgrade to the 3.0OE-A or no...i dont have the ta-086 mobo

Not just yet my friend, but be patient, your downgrading time is almost here from what I gather.
The kernal mode exploit has been found so half the battle is won, keep those fingers crossed and that firmware unchanged.


Also, will this still have prx loading? I really enjoyed that. Also:

THIS IS BETTER THAN DEVHOOK AGAIN!!! DevHook may start it, but will never dominate it! yay, i love custom firmwares

It doesnt really matter whats "better" its more down to what you find more useful to you.
The people who have TA-086's and want to use homebrew AND play there latest games cant downgrade to use this so they have to use devhook, in that respect devhook is better, its all about opinions mate.

[shedeus]

Yeah, basically it looks like its gonna be a mix of 1.5 and 3.0 with most of the functionallity retained.
Unfortunately you will almost certainly need to have a PSP that can be run as a 1.50 to start with and I dont hold much luck for the TA-086'ers out thre, sorry :(

wow... that would suck. no more support for those stuck with HEND i suppose... :(

[bmwlover89]

meh...i think imma sell my psp...probably get a blue one and hope it has 1.50 on it heh i have been waiting forever for 2.8 to get cracked...

[Gizmo356]

I hope this comes out soon but I want the bugs to be ironed out but what more can you expect from dark alex but quality.

[mikebeaver]

meh...i think imma sell my psp...probably get a blue one and hope it has 1.50 on it heh i have been waiting forever for 2.8 to get cracked...

The Blue ones are really recent so you will have more luck in getting a higher fw than you already have, plus as i said a k exploit was announced this morning, you have waited a long time for a downgrader, dont waste it all by upgrading now when a downgrader is mere weeks/ days away, possibly.

[bmwlover89]

yea im just tired of waiting maybe i wont get a blue one but maybe another black one...i herd the weeks/days thing like a month ago...not to be mean or anything. and if i went to the store i can tell which firmware it has on it by the barcode so i might just buy another black one

[g00gy]

wow i cant wait for these kool new features. PS1 games emulated officially :D

[Jmax]

Its not considered piracacy if you have the real game. It was kinda stupid of sony to not let people who own the real games play it, but it is smart in the respect that they stopped alot of piracy.

[no_pulse]

If this version isn't done by dax i'm gunna wait it out till he brings out a new release.

Also just to clear things up, you will only be able to install 3.0 OE-A on a current 2.71SE psp or 1.5 psp, anyone above 2.71 or anyone who has TA-082 psp will be unable to install it. (Unless someone has said otherwise)

[SweetFA]

No web browser? I'll stick with 2.71 se instead.

[mikebeaver]

No web browser? I'll stick with 2.71 se instead.

doesnt say anything about it being removed here...

[/B]

I dont know if dax is involved with this project, but it WAS going to be hosted on his site so I think he is, unfortunately there are issues with "DRM" meaning it cant be hosted on the site as its an infringement or something like that, french law, lol.
Keep your eyes peeled, its gonna be a great new firmware, ive had a UMD movie since my birthday, back in October that I still want to watch, maybe very soon :)

[joshisposer]

To clear things up for me, can you load psx iso's somehow or something? I read it couldn't be loaded by your own cd iso but then how else will you get the iso? this is just confusing and they better keep the web browser, i *love* it.

[jak66]

the only psx games you can use are from the playstation store (the ones you need a PS3 to dl) but this lets you dl them from the internet (illegal) rather than from your PS3

only browser i see going is location free, didnt say anything about web browser

[joshisposer]

what format are the psx games in? maybe someone can crack it so us original psx owners can use it on our own games. plus, how do people get them off their psp in the first place? sony is trying to hard to be pirate free. i've soft-modded all my systems from psone, pstwo (slimline) to now the psp.

[jak66]

from what i can tell, they download to PS3, then transfer to PSP, i guess from there they upload via USB, and being european, PS3 isnt even released here yet, so i have no clue about the whole official PSX emulator (Until i get a PS3, i wont bother reading up about it, maybe wikipedia holds a few answers though)

[joshisposer]

Sorry for so many posts, just things pop in my head that i want to get noticed but, when is this going to be released? For I think it was 2.71 se-b'', i pulled an all nighter because i knew the approximate time, but this doesn't have any time on it. More time info would be cool

[jak66]

Within 24 hours of the time it was posted at maxconsole is as specific as i can be, because that was the time stated, ill go look now, see if there has been a time given

EDIT:Still no more specific than within 24 hours, but im off to bed now, see ya all

[Jonesyxxiv]

Well if this is made by (or supported by) DAX then I will definatly get this. I guess I wont goet this tonight but My vacation starts tomorrow(half day) so I hope I get it soon.

[jondoe696911]

ill be up all night lol. cannot wait for this. it makes me all happy inside. who needs a red rider b-b gun when you got a new custom firmware lol.

[joshisposer]

I can see it now. "you'll brick your handheld" Lol, stupid (anyother word for noobs or something)

[Cloudhunter]

Right, as far as I know it is basically an official 3.00-SE.

Which means you have to be at 1.5 or 2.71SE to upgrade. So you TA-082ers, and anyone who can't downgrade to 1.5 are out of luck.

However, 2.8 non ta-082ers are in luck, as I predict a downgrader coming along for you guys soon now we have kernel mode :)

Cloudy

[sok98]

this looks amazing, if DAX says its good, ill get it forsure but if not i'll wait a bit... just to be safe

[joshisposer]

No, get it asap. it's got more effect and it's cooler when you show it off. lol, i love his cfw

[mikebeaver]

Yeah fingers crossed something will come along for them in the near future.
Back on the subject of 3.02 se, they appear to have made some more progress with the PSOne emulation, and release seems to be alittle closer now, hurrah...I see an all nighter comming up again :)

[Cloudhunter]

DAX makes it :p

[Kvonx]

Hell yeah, i kno m not going to sleep!!

[sok98]

i really hope its out in less than 12 ohurs, thats when i leave for florida.

[joshisposer]

they are writing the readme, so it should be released within hours hopefully

[DarthPaul]

wtf!!!? omg!! freaking awesome!! can't wait!! just hope they dont remove as many features as they removed from the "3.0 SE". oh god,id been waiting for something like this since fw 3.0 came out.

[DarthPaul]

ill not sleep neither!! lol!!

[dagger89]

Couple Clarifications:

A) Dark_AleX IS still the main (possibly only) coder involved, like 2.71 SE-A, SE-B, & SE-C... Mathieulh is a close friend of DaX....

B) This will be released within 24 hours of the original newspost at maxconsole (it was about 1pm EST when posted there today)... Plus DaX lives in Spain, so he's prolly asleep ATM....


C) PSX game disks meant for the PSX system are NOT supported by the PSX game support... It only strips the DRM from the game downloaded via the PS3, so that ANY 3.xx psp can play it...

[joshisposer]

3.0 se wasn't official. that's why they changed the name

[sok98]

wait so does this mean if my friend has a ps3 and he buys games, he can put them on mine with this?

[cloud_952]

>_> So.. terribly.. awesome. I've been avoiding updating to 2.7SE-C for some time now, but if I can be at 3.02 AND play homebrew? =D YES!

[Vendeta]

SWEETZ.... i think IRC #dcemu will be very active tonight.....

[mikebeaver]

will be, lol more like is, theres alot of anxious people waiting to get there hands on this i can tell you, not least of all me.

[DarthPaul]

this will be a long night for me i guess...lol like the one that the PS1P emu was released,i spent all the night here posting nonsense stuff lol

[Vendeta]

i remember that night.... everone on IRC was like ITS OUT NOW! and everyone would book it to psp-news.... and get mad.... good fun....

[DarthPaul]

hahaha yeah

[DarthPaul]

wait a sec..region free!?! that means i will be able to play the European version of the movie Silent Hill(has extra features) on my US PSP??

[ryanMWolfe]

YESH DARTHPAUL YOU CAN


PS I HAD THE 3.0 SE AND IT SUCKED NO WIFI OR
HOPE THIS ONE aT LEAST HAS Wifi

[joshisposer]

cool. can run all games that didn't work before. but, you need to disable no-umd. that is all. this is awesome

[the_eternal_dark]

I think this may be the firmware to be labeled "Golden Firmware."

Totally agreed.

Keep up the good work guys!! :thumbup:
