[DarthPaul]

Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vendeta]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[DarthPaul]

Love You Dark Alex!!!!

[XxunknowxX]

see told yall it was out lol dont belive me

[GI_Josh]

Yes.......I cannot wait to get this puppy on.

[DarthPaul]

i dont care if it sucks or not!! its made by dark alex and ill try it!!!

[sok98]

sweet!

[ninja9393]

AWESOME, i am so going to use this!!!!

[mikebeaver]

Its OK for all of you lot, I seem to have mis-placed my USB cable !! thus meaning I now cant use the fw till tomorrow, pleased I am not :(

[mfz64]

can someone explain exactly what this is please? i am a noob, i know

[caseyhalone]

this is souper g8

[LilSwish722]

can i use this without having 2.71SE-C because i had 2.80 then i got it back from my friend and it was 2.81 so i went ahead and upgraded it to 3.0. so my question is, can i still install this. i want homebrew sooooo bad lol

[shedeus]

your at 3.0? dont think this is of any use to you until a downgrader comes along.

what about for HEND users?

[de.silva89]

LilSwish722, sorry but there is no possible way of getting homebrew or this for that matter on the psp :S

[DarthPaul]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? guys!!! why!! why to me!!! im almost crying!!! MY PSP IS BRICKED!!!!

[DarthPaul]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate You Dark Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LilSwish722]

god. that sucks. is it because it requires a kernal to install. because i saw the readme and it said it needed to be placed in the 1.50 GAME folder. but now that we got this, does that mean a downgrader is coming soon? or if not, how long will it be

[blackrave]

This is so unbelievably superb! Didn't see this coming at all! This has been a great week so far for all homebrew.

I will give this a try, either today or tomorrow. It still has support for 1.00 eboots, right? It was a little unclear at that point. LocationFree Player and Korean fonts don't matter at all for me.

I'm a little worried about getting blue screens, though. I wonder if they can come right in the middle of a game?

Thanks Dark Alex, Mathieulh and HarleyG!

[Vendeta]

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthPaul]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vendeta!!!!!!!!!!

[mfz64]

ohhhh damn that sucks

[gunntims0103]

great to see that dark_alex is still in the game and putting out releases. Im happy for all the users who are going to go and use this custom firmware. Im running on a 1.5 and im a bit to chicken to mess with any custom firmware :p. Great release none the less

[Vendeta]

What did u do wrong.... i feal soo bad for u.....

[DarthPaul]

I $#it My Pants!!!! Lol!!! I Have Passed The Experience Of Many Bricked Psp,doing Downgrades To My Friends...gosh!! It Was The Same!! Black Screen! But I Reboot With Recovery And The Recovery Worked(wtf!?) Lol Started Putting Disabling All Like A Crazy,then Exit And Now Im On 3.02oea!!! Hell Yeahh!! Sorry Dax! Love You!!

[caseyhalone]

will this support the new metal gear from the xmb?

[de.silva89]

Hey, this worked great for me!!! just read the readme properly

[DarthPaul]

Omg!! What Is This!!?? Portable Tv??

[Gizmo356]

I just installed it and it works beautifully!!

Thanks DAX!

[LilSwish722]

Someone answer my question. now that this has been released does this mean we can have a downgrader soon. and whats this about a 3.02 Kernal. I missed that news. when did we get access to that

[de.silva89]

its not 3.02 kernal, its 1.50 kernal with 3.02 over the top

[de.silva89]

and it does not mean in any way that there will soon be a downgrader, this has nothing to do with downgrading

[ryanMWolfe]

DARTH paul

Does IB have increased speed???

[Gizmo356]

No until there is a way to run user mode homebrew on a 3.0 there is no chance for a downgrader

[DarthPaul]

Enabled The Options Again And It Doesnt Boot...whats Wrong??

[de.silva89]

my god, the recovery screen is PURPLE WTF?!

[ExcruciationX]

Awesome! I'm going to make a video tutorial for this soon. ;)

[LilSwish722]

yea but i read that it uses the 3.02 kernal. maybe im just reading it wrong

[de.silva89]

probably, sorry 'bout that LilSwish

[LilSwish722]

lol. its okay. but i mean would there be any chance. because for some reason i remember reading about a 3.02 kernal. so idk. maybe im imaging things. either way GREAT work DAX

EDIT:: This was in the readme. this is what im talking about. " OE runs all homebrew from the /PSP/GAME302 folder using the 3.02 kernel. "

[DarthPaul]

Hey What The Hell?? When I Boot It Without The Memory Stick It Works,and When I Do So With The Stick In It Doesnt...

[de.silva89]

it may be possible sometime in the future, but not thru this. They have decrypted a lot of the files so maybe... fingers crossed

[LilSwish722]

yea definetly have my finger crossed now that i got my Non TA-082 back.

[de.silva89]

lol, you'll soon be another hombrewer, just keep checkin the highlights.

[LilSwish722]

yea. im gonna be doin that. i went insane when i got my psp back and it was 2.81 lol. i about killed him.

[SSBlind]

Well, it worked. I can't view system settings without my PSP crashing though =\

[DarthPaul]

Is There Anybody Else With The Same Problem As Mine??:(

[de.silva89]

do a hard reset and things will be fine :)

[SSBlind]

do a hard reset and things will be fine :)

Tried it. It won't.

Homebrew doesn't work either. This firmware is like walking through hell...

[DarthPaul]

i did it....it stills the same

[DarthPaul]

i cant go to the xmb with the memory stick inserted,when i try to boot with the memory stick inserted it goes to a black screen,same when i start a game and i exit...black screen again

[de.silva89]

sorry, its just i did have that problem and when i reset it worked... it may have been that the dxar file got corrupt along the code somewhere.

[DarthPaul]

damn..

[SSBlind]

Wow... this firmware is terrible..

[DarthPaul]

this creates the recovery folder automatically,right??

[DarthPaul]

awww men..i was so happy..

[Ihavenolife]

I can't use this yet, but as soon as the downgrader comes out im going to use it.

Great work DAX!

[gunntims0103]

Please everyone lets keep everything orderly in this thread.

Attention Users

You all must know that this is the first of Dark_alex'es release of 3.02 OE-A. You have to be aware that this isnt going to be perfect, and im pretty sure that this is very buggy and still in development.

With this being said please do not flame the release and give it time. If it doesnt work out for you now just downgrade back to 1.5 or 2.71 se-c.

Also do not post a "spam like" comment by just saying a word or two, please be productive when posting.

--back on topic--

[carlitx]

does this mean i can upgrade from 2.80fw to this new se? i got a ta-82 2.80.

[LiLxFlip]

is this good or is it still buggy???

[LilSwish722]

no u cant

[caseyhalone]

works like a charm thus far, i didnt have luck with 2.71c but with being able to flash from 1.5 in one step its nice. thanks!

[DarthPaul]

OHHH YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! IM THE MAN!!! well im not...DARK ALEX IS THE MAN!!! it was the vshex.prx i had in the plugins!! i dissabled it and now it works!!! thank you all for trying to help:P specially you de.saliva89..thanks:)

[DarthPaul]

gunntims0103..i know you wrote that because of me...sorry,i was just..hyper and scared:( but now its working fine,Dark_Alex is the man,and he's perfect,there's nothing he could do wrong.

[de.silva89]

you're very welcome and i'm glad to know that people are explaining what is causing their problems, its a gr8 help.

[sok98]

omg almost died after i flashed my psp... i turned it on and i thought it bricked cuz it took wayyyy to long to load... holy lmao im trying it now thank DAX :)

[Ramza042]

Man, 2 DAYS!!! after I upgrade (finally) to 2.71se-c, dax does THIS! :rofl: I guess I'll wait a couple months for a few fixes, then I'll get it. I'm not in a big hurry to use 3.02, but it sounds SWEET! Especially the whole psone stuff. :thumbup:

[carlitx]

is this good or is it still buggy???

READ THE FU*KING POST ABOVE!

[DarthPaul]

lol but i had an icon under the network settings called "Portable TV" and it was like yellow and black..and now its gone :S

[LiLxFlip]

does the visualizer work???

[DPyro]

Has anyone successfully got their PS1 games to work with the 3.02 emulator?

[DarthPaul]

does the visualizer work???

yes,the visualizer works..and i havent found a bug yet:) well...it didnt work at the beginning well..but nothing besides that

[tael]

do I need to have 2.71 before I can use this? what if I have a 2.6?

[sok98]

im just putting everything on my mem stick ill see if homebrew and everything works good

[IndianCheese]

Is the X/O button picker actually in the Settings menu or is it through some cheap-ass homebrew flasher?

[DarthPaul]

do I need to have 2.71 before I can use this? what if I have a 2.6?

you need 2.71se or 1.5..if you have 2.6 just downgrade to 1.5 and then install this:)

[migsgiz]

Hey guys, if i use this custom fw, and i dont like it
can i go back to my old 1.50fw and dh3.02?
i would like to do it but dont see the big deal
if i can do all this already

[lefthooklori]

Hi everyone ! After two long months without internet service; I'm back online. :) Did anyone miss me? :D

[Vendeta]

Who are u?

[tael]

does 2.71 se work on TA-082 motherboards. Also, can 2.71 se do reverse devhook to emulate 1.5 so that homebrew can be used. Finally if it can do reverse devhook, can the emulated 1.5 play things like the GBA emulators?

[DarthPaul]

Hey guys, if i use this custom fw, and i dont like it
can i go back to my old 1.50fw and dh3.02?
i would like to do it but dont see the big deal
if i can do all this already

yes you can go back to your 1.5,but you'll surely like this:D

[Ramza042]

Who are u?


:rofl:


Nice.

[de.silva89]

firstly, no and secondly, the whole point in 2.71 se is to play 1.50 stuff

[DarthPaul]

Hi everyone ! After two long months without internet service; I'm back online. :) Did anyone miss me? :D

lol! who are you??

[Vendeta]

u know whats sad.... noobs who think that they are knowen......

[kiariki]

It has a flash part... O.O This software sounds incredibly dangerous!

[DarthPaul]

It has a flash part... O.O This software sounds incredibly dangerous!

every homebrew is dangerous:rolleyes:

[Man]

Does this flash over prxs, or, do you have to delete them first.

[tael]

are there TA-082 motherboards out in North America?

[bmwlover89]

so this is pretty much useless to anyone who has 2.80 and up correct?

[mavsman4457]

All that matters for me is: Does remote play work? Is there still a memory limit of 4gb?

[DarthPaul]

Does this flash over prxs, or, do you have to delete them first.

is that a question?? if it is..yes it flash over the prxs in the psp internal memory(flash)...

[DarthPaul]

All that matters for me is: Does remote play work? Is there still a memory limit of 4gb?

remote play works..and about the 4gb limit..i cant help you with that,cuz i really dont know.

[Man]

i was wondering if you have to get rid of them before you install, because i dont want to risk a brick.

[DarthPaul]

i was wondering if you have to get rid of them before you install, because i dont want to risk a brick.

no,just follow the instructions on the readme.txt

[blackrave]

Hm, mine doesn't work perfectly. Music, video and games are played fine now, but system settings and Internet browser give me a blue screen.

I have deactivated the SE-C plugins. Does anyone know what's wrong?
darthpaul, it worked for you by just deactivating the plugins?

Thanks for the help! :)

[DarthPaul]

Creating the DXAR file
----------------------

- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME/ if you are using 1.50 firmware and to
/PSP/GAME150 if you are using whatever version of 2.71 Se.

- Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".

- Run the program. This program won't write to the flash, it will just create a file called DATA.DXAR in the
same directory (oeupdmaker).

- The program will verify that the SHA-1 of the generated file is correct.

- Once that you have done this, you can save the DATA.DXAR file to skip this step in the future.


SHA1 of DXAR: BB43B06852826F446CCA933927C3D54C50E151B1
MD5 of DXAR: 5BD5DE55204BB8A407C0187C3DA1040C

Flashing 3.02 OE
----------------

- Copy the directories oeflasher and oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME (or /PSP/GAME150 if you are on 2.71 SE)

- Copy the generated DATA.DXAR file at oeflasher directory.


- Run the flasher. If your battery is less than 75%, the program will show the error saying that
and will return to the XMB.

At petition of someone with battery problems, now this check can be by passed at your own risk;
Execute the program with triangle and L pressed.

- The program will continue showing an agreement. Press X to accept
it and flash the custom firm, or R to cancel and exit to the XMB.

- If you accept, the program will flash the custom firmware. DONT shutdown the psp and DON'T
quit the memory stick.

- After finished, shutdown the psp and restart manually... to 3.02 OE :)

[DarthPaul]

Hm, mine doesn't work perfectly. Music, video and games are played fine now, but system settings and Internet browser give me a blue screen.

I have deactivated the SE-C plugins. Does anyone know what's wrong?
darthpaul, it worked for you by just deactivating the plugins?

Thanks for the help! :)

i never had that problem,my problem was that the PSP didnt boot with the memory stick in..i just disabled all the plugings and now its working fine.

[migsgiz]

yes you can go back to your 1.5,but you'll surely like this:D

ok then thank, i guess ill give it a try

[sok98]

mine works perfectly, not one bug ive been to system settings and browser and played homebrew and used visualizer :D very happy right now

[bmwlover89]

wondering if it was useless to anyone who has 2.80 and up.....

[blackrave]

Yes, right now it is, bmwlover89. Unfortunately.

[DarthPaul]

ok then thank, i guess ill give it a try

your welcome.

[bmwlover89]

wow....awesome looks like im buyin a new psp tomarrow

[hacksparrow]

[Kvonx]

yessss!!!!!!!!!!!!! right on m feeling this :)

[sok98]

no point buying a new psp... you wont be able to use this lol

Found my first bug withthis.... pressing home in a homebrew game crashed my psp. thats gunna get really annoying lol

[blackrave]

Yes! It's working perfectly now! I just pressed circle at the blue screens. Didn't work before, but now it did.

The readme should have covered more troubleshooting, but Dark_AleX and his co-workers have really done something big this time! :)

[bmwlover89]

yea i will lol the one im buying has 2.60 on it...just downgrade from that to 1.5 and bam!

[DarthPaul]

Yes! It's working perfectly now! I just pressed circle at the blue screens. Didn't work before, but now it did.

im glad to hear that:D

[blackrave]

im glad to hear that:D

Thanks for willing to help. ;)

Does anyone have any problems with this now, as I think I know about the biggest bugs and troubles now.

[the_eternal_dark]

1. does 2.71 se work on TA-082 motherboards. 2. Also, can 2.71 se do reverse devhook to emulate 1.5 so that homebrew can be used. 3. Finally if it can do reverse devhook, can the emulated 1.5 play things like the GBA emulators?

1. No, not yet. It may if reverse devhook can be changed to load 2.71SE, and you'd need to be at 2.71 to do it (also, hen d is needed).

2. 2.71SE doesn't need it. It plays all homebrew.

3. Yes, but 2.71SE does the same thing.

And yes TA-82s are available in the US. TA-86s aren't yet, I believe.

[bugger2]

I'd prefer sticking with FW1.5... Dark_AleX himself said that when it's not broken, there's no need to fix it :p.

[DarthPaul]

I'd prefer sticking with FW1.5... Dark_AleX himself said that when it's not broken, there's no need to fix it :p.

your not fixing anything,you are improving your PSP:D

[the_eternal_dark]

yea i will lol the one im buying has 2.60 on it...just downgrade from that to 1.5 and bam!

Make sure it isn't a TA-82 if you do.

[SnoopKatt]

Very good custom firmware!

[skater9269]

works perfect I got scared for alittle while with the blue sony screen and getting an internal error but now its freaking perfect its like a dream.

[ICE]

would a japanese 3.02 updater work??

[DarthPaul]

yay!!! it's really my dream come true!
now i think i helped as many people as i could..
now im going to enjoy it myself! see ya everyone,ill be on soon and try to help more:)

[ninja9393]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

its working perfectly!!!!!!!!!

[zevende]

Can I flash this onto my 2.71 SE-B" that has custom backgrounds and a custom font flashed on it by X-flash, or do I need to get a clean fw first?

[blackrave]

would a japanese 3.02 updater work??

Yep, I used a Japanese 3.02 eboot and a North American 1.50 eboot, and those worked perfect together.


Can I flash this onto my 2.71 SE-B" that has custom backgrounds and a custom font flashed on it by X-flash, or do I need to get a clean fw first?

No, you don't need to get a clean firmware. I flashed straight over all my custom stuff and it works great. I have the default gameboot, fonts and sounds now, though. But come to think of it, it could have been what was causing my blue screens.

If you get those, just restore the default system settings by pressing circle.

[ICE]

thanks dl the 3.02 now.

[shak bo]

O.K PS1 emulation will work with this right?, does it also work on a 1.5 PSP emulating a 3.02, just curious.

[scarph]

Omg im so mad
im a korean user of location free player

shame on you DaX

[the_eternal_dark]

thanks dl the 3.02 now.

Let us hear your success story when you are done.

So I take it that the web browser still works, right?

[emuking]

I think through the recovery menu like 2.71SE.

[bmwlover89]

already checked it isnt

[the_eternal_dark]

Awsome! good luck bmwlover89. Welcome to the dcemu by the way.

[firedragon_jing]

Does all homebrew work with this yet, or are there problems like there were with 2.71se?

[scarph]

Omg im so mad
im a korean user of location free player

shame on you DaX

damn it im funny



anywho
good update
great update
a few bugs with the home button need to be checked out
my seplugins folder isnt fairing so well either
well do fine

[LiLxFlip]

damn i cant run tony hawks project 8 from the xmb!!!

[LilSwish722]

geez i remember posting in this thread one page 1, 2, and 3 about an hour ago lol. its 14 pages now

[scarph]

ps
sorry for double posting
i dont really know why anyone hasnt touched on this yet
maybe you havent figured this out

but uhh

WE CAN USE THE PS1 EMULATOR WITHOUT BUYING A NEW SYSTEM OR EVEN NEW GAMES

that is all


nvm thats not all
you can probably run tony hawk in xmb if you turn off no-umd mode in the recovery menu

it worked for mgs

[Destroyer699]

Interesting...

[Nikolaos]

good work dax and the team! flash is a success!

[Kvonx]

Mine when perfect!!......thanks

[Xanthier]

Everything works fine for me, and I can use Home from in homebrew quite happily from what I can tell, so it's all good. Cheers for the release.

[mlcurly16]

Does this version have the web browser still removed?

[Gizmo356]

The web browser was never removed

[V3N0M]

All I can say... WOW! :thumbup: I guess i'm going to use the money i was going to buy a 4 gig with and just buy a Wii instead and go get an 8 gig later. :D

[Tetris999]

Cheah if anyone needs help ill help em through all of this just pm me

im a psp adept this should be no problem for me

[dagger89]

EVERYTHING works with this release, in terms of features of 3.02.... and i mean EVERYTHING...

Time to continue remote play... hehehe, so fun!

Edit: Currently downloading Hot Shots Golf from the PS online store... update if working in the morning (damn you slow wifi speeds)

[ICE]

ok so only prob ive saw is "exit to xmb" with the newest irshell doesnt work. it just goes black screen and thats all.

[danielmakana]

I can confirm that the PSX games downloaded from the sony store work.

[paughthead]

This is the best x-mas present anyone can get!
Thanks so much Dark Alex, Mathieulh and HarleyG.
You guys are PSP GODS!!

[johnsmith555]

dont do it! it bricked my psp!

[Mr. Shizzy]

So is it possible for me to buy PS1 games from the SONY store and play them with this even without a PS3?

[LilSwish722]

i doubt it because you have to download them striaght from the PS3 then connect your PSP and transfer

[lmtlmt]

soemone please reply to this, this could happen to you aswell http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=307018#post307018

[SnoopKatt]

Just go in recovery mode by holding down R when it starts up. Then you can try to restore it to 1.5 and then you can reattemt installing it if you'd like.

[eLAy12]

I just finished installing. Awesome! works perfectly and its easy to install. high five to the coders. great job

[Mr. Shizzy]

soemone please reply to this, this could happen to you aswell http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=307018#post307018

So was the problem indeed caused by formatting your MS after installing OE ?


EDIT: Someone post a link to the SONY site where I can buy a PS1 game. I'll buy it and confirm if it works or not. (As soon as my PSP charges enough to install the new cfw)

[belialone]

this truely is great news
after a few releases i might try this one out
im still fine with devhook on my 1.5

[DarthPaul]

thanks again for this birthday(sunday24) and christmas(monday25) present DAX and team.:)

I don't think there is one...

Find someone with a PS3 and PSP and see if sharing the game works.

[emuking]

hey im posting from my wii and i have 3.02 ose on my psp what a good day :D

[no_pulse]

Can anyone else not see a software version in the System Details screen?

[Mr. Shizzy]

I don't think there is one...

Damn... Looks like I'm out of luck on that one for now. :(

[kiore]

Cintro still works , but xflash not working so if you like your different fonts,sounds it might pay to wait for a compatiable xflash ,which im sure wont be too long.

[steve-b]

another working 3.02oe here. Done 2 so far and both work perfect. Great work guys.

[240-185]

Make sure that LocoRoco Xmas Demo in the GAME302 folder.

[the_eternal_dark]

Damn... Looks like I'm out of luck on that one for now. :(

Soon, I bet Sony will make it an option.

I've 2 successful 3.02OE's here.

What does the OE stand for anyway?

[SweetFA]

My savedata for PE6 doesn't work since i updated.
The Winning Eleven 9 one still does.
Strange.

[SweetFA]

Soon, I bet Sony will make it an option.

I've 2 successful 3.02OE's here.

Open Edition

Open Edition I believe.
On a sour note, I still cat find my USB cable, may have to go to the store in a bit to buy anew one, only problem is the 16 mile drive :( I just wanna stay home and install cfw !

[Mr. Shizzy]

Succesfully updated mine. :D Now to update my friends... :P

[the_eternal_dark]

Thanks SweetFA and mikebeaver for clearing that up for me.

[mikebeaver]

Ya no worries, I have found my cable so im happily trying the update now, yeah.

[the_eternal_dark]

Ya no worries, I have found my cable so im happily trying the update now, yeah.

I'm starting on a 3rd and 4th right now.

It's really easy, you'll see.

[pkmusicmaker]

First, this custom firmware is perfect, keep it up. But I find it funny how the PS3 has turned into a PS1 downloading machine for PSP. How about leaving the PS3 out of the mess Sony? I hate when companies force you to buy other products of theirs to enjoy the one you already bought.

Sad to say, but that is how Sony expects to make more money and drive up the demand for the PS3/PSP.

Hurrah, install was eaier than making breakfast, gonna do the girlfriends PSP in a minuite.
Just a quick question though, has anyone had any luck with the UMD region free software? it was the first thing I tried and im having no luck with it at all, any help or ideas? thanks

[the_eternal_dark]

mikebeaver, it works here. I have a Jap. PSP and played a little Flight Plan (US) on it a minute ago. If it doesn't work for you, try forcing the region.

[johnsmith555]

It Bricked My Bro's Psp

[the_eternal_dark]

It Bricked My Bro's Psp

What happened? Did you force the installer with a low charged battery or was it a bad .dxar file?

[titch.ryan]

yes!!!!!!!

[johnsmith555]

no

[the_eternal_dark]

yes!!!!!!!

Congrats! Everything works?

I'm sorry johnsmith555, that sucks hard.

[johnsmith555]

i did it for another psp and when i went to do it for my bro it bricked

[the_eternal_dark]

i did it for another psp and when i went to do it for my bro it bricked

Any idea what may have caused it?

Have you tried to see if the recovery menu was installed?

*edit* did you try to use the same data.dxar file from the first time?

[johnsmith555]

nah i did everything again, new data,dxr, 100% battery and connected to outlet, checked everything

[johnsmith555]

but once it finished, it was supposed to restart but it didnt

[johnsmith555]

and so i went to press the power button and the screen stayed black but my green light flickers for 1 second, but then turns off again

[the_eternal_dark]

Damn, that is odd..

At what point did it stop loading?

*edit* the installer i mean.

[johnsmith555]

and when i put in power, the red light doesnt go on

[johnsmith555]

can some1 send me a new psp

[johnsmith555]

or send me a modchip with instructions

[the_eternal_dark]

Have you tried booting and holding R for the recovery menu (if it got that far into the install)?

*edit* if it loads, you may be in luck.

Sorry johnsmith. I've gotta get some sleep in before work. I have another 14 hours ahead of me again today (starting in about 5 1/2 hours). I'll check back in when things are slow at work.

Night everyone. Good night, good luck.

[Mr. Shizzy]

can some1 send me a new psp

LOL. Bro sorry about your misfortune. :( But stop double and triple posting. And why would anyone give you a new PSP?

[tuta]

This is so good
DAX ur PSP GOD
My installation was a success

[mikebeaver]

Right ive got some issues with this.
1st ive installed it to a 2nd psp, when i went the browser it crashed, when i went to system settings it bricked!! i believe this was because i had the region set to korean ( am trying to get usa UMD to work STILL) fortunately it has recovery mode and i have sorted that prob.

2nd with my psp the web browser is fine, with my girlfriends the browser is just crashing it out, any ideas

oh and i still cannot get on with the region free business for my UMD it is a USA region 1, and i have tried all the settings i can think of. oh well ill just keep trying, will post any results

[belialone]

can some1 send me a new psp
yeah damn me too

oh and pleeze a chipmodded one
me need it really
oh and a 4GB memstick

[dejkirkby]

Anyone know where I'm supposed to put the recovery file which came in the 302oe rar?

[mikebeaver]

Anyone know where I'm supposed to put the recovery file which came in the 302oe rar?

Yeah drop it into ms0/psp/game

and then put the 1.50 eboot in it but rename it to "update" im doing it again, i cant seem to get the 2nd PSP to run it properly, the system software is displayed as a load of kanji this time, oh well.

-EDIT- Have found the problem with the web browser and the kanji on the system settings, it would appear that I also had the region of the PSP "faking" a european one (ya, I know im stupid)didnt quite read it properly, there is a "disable" option, doh. Hope that may help anyone in a similar situation.

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Fkin hell extracts 1.50 pbp fine then 3.02 just says extracting and repacking and does nothing anyone else have same problem ??.We need a n00b pack..

[steve-b]

the 3.02 extract does take longer than 1.50 extract. I have seen this process be very slow on certain brands of memory cards. As an example, I had 1 card do it in like 3 minutes and another take 20 mins. Maybe you just need to wait a little longer eggman

[heeroyun]

Sound cool . But can i use some emulator like Snes or GBA on this custom firmware . If possile , pls give me the details how to do it please ^^

[mikebeaver]

yeah it will take a long time, between 3-5 mins, at least when it starts to write the fw it is a little quicker :)
Anyone know how to fix a memory stick? its working fine on the PSP, but my PC seems to think that it is corrupted and wont let me open ms0/psp !!

Yeah, all you have to do is put the emulators you want into a folder clled "GAME150" in the same directory as "GAME, PHOTO" etc and you can run them from the XMB, there are other ways of doing this, but I find this easiest.
Hope that helps ya out.

[dejkirkby]

[jim80b]

hi all
think i have found a bug,

i try setting a background (from pictures)
it saves but is lost upon a reset

is it my psp?

(does the installer wipe the flash like the 2.71 did? - if not that may be my prob. will go back to 1.5 and try to wipe everything :( )

[notaforumtroll]

Over Hyped. psp scene has been dry long enough though. Over Hype away fanboys

[tuta]

sounds like a corrupted Flash1 what I did was downgraded and reflashed again.

U can use psp filer to check and flash contents of your flash1 there must be missing folders

[heeroyun]

There is no GAME150 folder on my PSP folder O.o
Im using 2.71 SE-C though

[Mew]

works perfect!
thanks again for dark_alex!
nice to see you back! missed you..

[tuta]

reboot ure psp enter recovery menu
check if ure game folder is set at 1.50kernel or 2.71 kernel if its 2.71kernel put all homebrews that require 1.5 kernel in game150(need to create new folder)

change it to 1.5 kernel if u dun wan to create new folder

[heeroyun]

So all i have to do is go to recovery mode of 1.71 SE-C then change to 1.50kernel then copy the Emulator to the GAME folder and enjoy it ?

Sorry if it's n00b question , i've just bought my PSP 1 week ago ;_;

[M Dash]

[Roxas]

[porchemasi]

Wow these coders pwn the psp world and no one can deny their contriubution ! You guys are inspirational, show what dedication and commitment is, and are a living example of what average people can do. This may seem over the top, but is totally called for what you guys are doing.

[Waqs]

Thanks Dark_Alex, HarleyG and Mathieulh... Your work is greatly appreciated by us :)...

Installed this just fine...so easy to do.

Everything works fine, however im getting an issue with corrupt save games. Anyone else come across that?

I might be forced to start MGS PO from the beginning again :(

[alamosh]

Amazing... Looks like everyone's having fun with it... As for me, I'll wait a little bit.

[Vega]

Damn, I cant leave this place for 1 day then a freakin HUGE release like this comes along :D
Well done Dark_Alex and thanks. Im gonna install this baby right now!
Is there anything I should know before installing? I cant be annoyed reading through 200+ posts. . . or is everything perfect with this release?

[Waqs]

^just do as the Readme file says man...

It's as simple as that.

[Vega]

I read around that people are getting corrupted gamesave files and wifi problems. Is this everyone or just a few?

Sorry to be anal about it but Ive nearly completed MGS and dont want to have to start from the beginning again

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Ive had problems i rolled back to 2.71 se until bug fixes and a more stable version apear.

Omg im so mad

Use DevHook in order to get Location Free Player working then.

[Lodis]

Has anyone successfully got their PS1 games to work with the 3.02 emulator?

Yea, I got Hotshots Golf 2 to work but I only tried it for a few mins, will have more time to play later.

[Zion]

so can you use your own backed up ps1 games with this or do you still need a ps3///....?

i sound like a noob now lol :(,. im confused

[hirolau]

Is there any reason why one should not upgrade?

Can one I back to 1.5 if I upgrade?

[Sparda]

I keep getting those BSOD at the system settings and internet browser, and the homebrew doesnt work. :eek:

But I was impatient and forced the battery thing. . . I'm gunna try reflashing.

EDIT

No luck :( . Same problem. I guess i'll just have to recover to 1.50 and do the whole 2.71 SE process again. . .

[dejkirkby]

so can you use your own backed up ps1 games with this or do you still need a ps3///....?

i sound like a noob now lol :(,. im confused

Apparently you can use the ps1 eboots and they now won't pe specific to the PSP that downloaded it. But you can't play the .img/.bin.iso files as far as I know.

[Zion]

thanks for the reply :)

[RomComZom]

I installed the new FW and thought I bricked my psp cause it wasn't showing anything, so i went into recovery and disabled everything and now it works fine.

[shak bo]

It all began so simple, come with me if you will. Flashback a year ago. I was online looking for a translation for Tenchu on the PSP as all the text was in Japanese. I found the translation, and then some. On the bottom of the page was video tutorial of how to run Nester J on the PSP, naw. I linked to it and low and behold some chap had the blasted 8-bit Nintendo on the PSP!!!. After a rocky start I got it running too. I was awestruck, my friends could not conceal their envy(still can't).It's like your first kiss ya know? Well I've been in front of my keyboard ever since and now look. Did you ever think that one firmware would launch homebrew, backup UMD files and the current update!!! Friends, we are a part of a Rennassaince, a new era in gaming if you will. All the props go to Dark Alex, Mathieulh and HarleyG, this s**t is freakin' amazing!!!!!! Thank You

[digitalpedro]

can i go back to 1.50 after this is installed if so how?

[keefurxxcore]

If i have a TA-082 2.81 FW psp, can i do 3.02OE?

[Sparda]

Use the recovery menu to launch the EBOOT in Game\RECOVERY and put the 1.50 update file in the same folder and name it UPDATE.PBP and the other recovery files come with the 3.02 OE rar file. It'a all in the readme.

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

CCOOLLL!!! and thx. just one question, can this custom firmware run Devhhok 0.46 hybrid?

[PSP 101]

Another successful update to 3.02 OE-A!!!!!!!

[zav22]

I dont know if this has already been posted by anyone, but I just updated and was having trouble with homebrew and was getting the blue screen when I tried accessing the System Settings. Then I realized I had a UMD in the drive, so I popped it out, tried loading the System Settings again, it crashed as usual, however I was able to restart with the O button and upon reboot I was able to reverify my settings and now everything works like a charm.

[Destroyer699]

Amazing...

[On The Rise]

I can't get my homebrew to work and I have done everything. Yes I read the readme.
