Updating the PSP

[madcat1990]

I just downgraded my PSP from 2.80 to 1.50 (thnx 0okm) and now I want to update it do dark_alex's 2.71 SE-C

Can someone write me instructions of how to do it or where to get an "Easy installer" ?

PS: My motherboard is not a TA-082 xD

1. 3.02 OE is way better than 2.71 SE-C, so just use OE.
2. Here's the download for OE: http://www.psp-haxors.com/wp-content/uploads/OE-A/302_BASIC_Installer_150.exe

I have a 32MB memory card...and that's all, will it be enough? :(

Yeh that should be enough if you do it one step at a time.

3.02OE is the future of custom firmwares

3.02OE from the Sony site? Are you kidding? This is CUSTOM firmware, not official Sony bullshit firmware. Downgrade your PSP to 1.5 and then up to 3.02OE.

You have to update from firmware 1.50. You should downgrade to 1.50 then update to 3.02 oe

Yeh I Know But I Have 2 Upgrade From My 2.60 - 2.71 Before I Can Downgrade To 1.50

[splodger15]

Create a folder called Update in the game folder like so
X IS THE DRIVE LETTER

X://PSP/GAME/UPDATE

Here is the 2.71 eboot. DO NOT RENAME IT LEAVE IT AS IT IS.

@ahsanx : If you want the 3.02 OA firmware, go to the beginning of this topic, you will find your answer

3.02OE is the best way to go.Much better than 1.5
