Nice Dude! Excelent Work! :thumbup:

This should be sticky!

[The EX]

Thanks, hopefully it will be.

[-Xandu-]

Nice guide, Sam!

[The EX]

Thanks a lot. Tried to make it as easy to understand as possible.

[Triv1um]

Wow, great guide dude.

That new recovery menu looks alot better than the blue one (but thats just damn picky).

Shouldnt you hide all the mac addresses in the pics?
(not sure why, everyone seems to do it though)

[The EX]

The people who gave me the pictures don't mind.

Nope, i hate it when people do that! the only way someone can use that is they use your MAC address and get banned from an access point then your PSP cant use that point! but even if that did happen just use MAC cracker and change it!

Oh right so its totally pointless.

I didnt know why they done it, i though there must be some reason.

Yeah basically! but even if someone did use it and get you banned from a access point you can just change it!

[ExcruciationX]

EX-cellent guide, EX!

[The EX]

Thankyou :p

[murgero1]

It is safe, and works like a charm ;)

[l33t_haxz0r]

great guide, I installed it only thing I don't like it messed up my theme and I can't find the site I got it from..

[Safari Al]

Who here actually has this and what is your opinion of it?
By the way great guide!

It's a great firmware, exactly what I would have expected of D_A.

[bjaffe]

I know that custom 3.51 supports PS1 games. Does that mean that I can play all of my eboots that I have created? Is there a different format that I need to copy my games to? I guess I am asking if it has popstation like the DA OE's or something similar. I still have 3.10 OE b/c I play a lot of my PS1 games. Thanks in advance for any help.

[DarthPaul]

I think this is a great firmware too. But I have a problem that I didn't have on 3.40 OE..look here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=68738).

And the guide is damn good for those new to the scene out there EX,nice job.

Yes it has Popstation,you can play your eboots,besides,this is the same as the 3.10 OE of DAX,but only that it uses the 3.51's Kernel instead of the 3.10's. That means you can also play the new games that require this newest firmware. So use it! Haha,up to you. But I really think you should. ;)

[gundam]

Hey, i'm trying to run
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Rengou VS ZAFT Portable On my PSP but it isn't working. Does anyone know if this game should run on 3.40oe-a, or what firmware the gundam game requires to run. The game was released around april.

Thanks

[The Master]

Also is there anything special you have to do in order to play PS1 games? Or is it just the matter of dropping the eboots into a folder, and then which folder would that be?

[The EX]

X:/psp/game

[ff7rules]

will there be a list with whats new on psone emulation like 3.XX firmware id be happy to tell what works and what doesn't if anyone wants me to ill start a list of games im playing with this new firmware and tell you how compatible it is and if theres any problems. its the least i can do for this awesome site.

[pibs]

great guide, i really wished a newer fw would have a streaming popstation

[Man]

It shouldnt!

I suggest leaving it untill it has finished!

[cal360]

Hasn't this firmware got a problem with a few themes? That's the only thing i'm worried about at this point in time

[heeroyun]

_Any method to return to 1.5 from M33 ?

[devdj]

well i had 3.51 M33 CF but it fecked my psp while i was loading cw cheats so i went back to 1.50 and then to the stable 3.40 OE
so i'll wait for a more stable CF then 3.51 M33.
