View Full Version : Psp: 2.71 Custom Firmware SE-B

News and Release from Dark Alex (http://dax.lan.st/):

Heres the full details:


This is a custom firmware that lets to have in a single flash the advantages of firmware 1.50 and
2.71 at the same time.

Homebrew can be run on both kernels, the 1.50 one and the 2.71 one, letting almost all current homebrew
to work on the 1.50 kernel, and 2.71 homebrew compatible with HEN C in the 2.71 kernel.

Note: the installer writes to FLASH0. I'm not responsable of any damage of what happens,
since this software is provided free and without warranty.
TA-082 users cannot use this because a 1.50 bootstrap is needed to boot the system patched.

At the moment, there is only installer for 1.50, although it could be easily ported to whatever
firmware with kernel access such as 2.60 and 2.71, but at the moment i prefer not to doing it to avoid
TA-082 using it and bricking their psp's.

Note that this package DOES NOT contain any illegal material. The user has to provide the 1.50 and
2.71 updaters pbp's to legally generate the DXAR file used for the flashing.

Heres more details:


Using SE
--------

- SE runs all homebrew from the /PSP/GAM271 folder using the 2.71 kernel. The compatibility of
applications using the 2.71 kernel is the same as HEN-C since they both use the same core.
Homebrew here have to be NOT kxploited.

- To run applications with the 1.50 kernel, and have about 99% compatibility with current homebrew,
put those applications in the /PSP/GAME150 folder.
Homebrew here can be either kxploited or not.

Now the standard folder, /PSP/GAME can be configured in the recovery menu to either execute 1.50
homebrew or 2.71 one. (by default is set at 2.71 for compatibility with previous version)

- Native UMD emulation is now in the custom firmware. ISOS are shown under memory stick games.
Currently ISO and CSO are implemented, for technical reasons DAX is not implemented yet, but may
be done in the future. At the moment they require an umd to be inserted in order to be played, although
they show in the xmb without an umd.
Note that whenever you do an update to the ISO folder (add, delete, change files, first SE-B execution),
a little delay will ocurr when entering in memory stick games. While the ISO folder is not changed, this won't
happen.


Using recovery menu
-------------------

- To enter in recovery menu, press R when power on the psp.
The recovery mode lets to set options, and it lets to recover potential bricks, as soon as
the 1.50 bootstrap is intact.

- Toggle USB: It will enable/diable USB mass storage.

- Configuration. All setings are set to disabled by default.

* Skip SCE logo. If you enable this, you won't see that beautiful, (but sometimes annoying)
Sony Computer Entertainment logo when power on the psp (and in this way you also disable the autorun of
UMD).

* Hide corrupt icons. It will hide corrupt icons. Note that currently not all corrupt icons
are hidden but most of them. This setting can SLOW down the access to game menu if you have too many items.
This will be improved in the future, however the best way to hide corrupt icons is always to convert your kxploited
applications to a standard single PBP.

* Game folder homebrew. It will let you choose with which kernel, 1.50 or 2.71,
programs at /PSP/GAME will be executed.

* Autorun program at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP. When enabled, it will run that program at startup.
Notice, that that program runs always in 1.50 kernel.

- Advanced. This setting shouldn't be touched by most users, since they are mainly for debugging purposes.
It lets to flash some NOT critical files to the flash from the directory ms0:/reflash.

- Advanced configuration (inside Advaned).

* Plain modules in UMD/ISO. By default it is disabled, because it was found that the patch to run
plain modules gave compatibility problems with some umd games. (error 0x8002012D).
You can always enable it if interested in running unsigned code in an iso.

* Execute boot.bin in UMD/ISO. If enabled, it will run BOOT.BIN instead of EBOOT.BIN. This option
has no sense if the plain modules one is not enabled.

- Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP. This is what currently enables to recover a
semi-bricked psp (e.g. the vsh doesn't show, but you can reach the recovery mode).
Despite being in the game folder, that program will be executed in 1.50 kernel, so if even 2.71
kernel is destroyed, that program can be run.

Because official SCE updaters don't work in that 1.50 kernel environment (because they need some vsh files
not available), i've included with this package a flasher that lets to flash any official update from
1.50-2.71 to your psp.
To use it, copy the files inside inside "flasher for recovery/RECOVERY" in /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/
and the official SCE updater renamed as UPDATE.PBP in the same directory, and run the program
through the recovery option.

Another alternative for recovery is to reflash the own 2.71 SE-B.
To do this, copy the EBOOT.PBP of 271seflasher to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP along with the
DATA.DXAR file, and run it through recovery.


DEVHOOK
-------

- Devhook for 1.50 can be run on GAME150 and devhook for 2.71 can be run on GAME folder.

- In devhook for 1.50 you cannot use the option of 1.50 flash if you are gonna reboot to XMB.

- When using devhook 0.46, DO NOT use the options for flashing things.

- In devhook for 2.71, the 2.71 flash mode didn't work because a special patch to the flash driver
is needed. I worked to fix this and the fix for it can be found in the "devhook271 flash fix" folder.
UPDATE: now the fix is updated, and it has the problem of the error 0x8002012D fixed.
More details there.

1.50 Compatibility
------------------

- Most of 1.50 homebrew work. There maybe some exceptions of few programs that interfere with
the reboot system of SE. These programs can be umdemulatorand daxziso, although i have not
tested them. They may not work at all or work in certain modes (direct load methods probably).
Programs that hacks the flash like xflash, pspset, sxt version changer, etc are not
recommended to be used here.

- Irshell shows as corrupted... this is an issue in 2.XX vsh's. They don't like irshell sfo :)
The solution to make it show (and work) is to apply the solution given by frmariam originally
for epsilon bios: ..

- It seems that original umdemulator also shows as corrupted.
Try changing the sfo and maybe also the icon to fix that.

- Since 1.50 kernel gets patched, it can support things that a normal 1.50 cannot do, such as loadexecuting
prx's, loading modules, signed or not, from ms and flash in user mode without previous patches,
loading real pbp's, etc

- Note with wifi: 1.50 kernel doesn't understand WPA. So if you have a connection with WPA, you cannot
magically use it in a 1.50 application. Use WEP or not protection, or wait to wifi applications to
be ported to 2.71 kernel.

Glad to see this on the front page.

Now a tip: You MUST create a ISO folder (even if nothing goes in it) on the root of the MS or it will crash when accessing MS for HBs.

I think 1.5 is still better since all this update does is make a little bit of homebrew a little more accesible(when you could play all in 1.5)and makes illegal iso's easier to steal, in other words, stay at 1.5, just some words of advise, but do whatever you want, and why put your PSP at risk of becoming a brick?

If this is already proven to work, only an idiot could brick a PSP with it...1.50 firmware WAS the best, since now this play everything that 1.50 plays + you don't need to waste 30MB or more worth of your MS to emulate higher firmwares with Devhook and be able to play your newer UMD's...So, why would you still think 1.50 is better if this update can do everything 1.50 can + Recovery mode + more free space on MS? I've been on 1.50 forever, and this update finally decides my PSP's upgrading...Thanks Dark Alex and Crew!

You don't need to downgrade to install this new version if you already have 2.71 SE A.

^_^ Just add a folder to your Game150 folder, start it, done.

O.o nice.

AND for the record:
1. 1.50 was nice. Yep. Woo.
2. 2.71 SE a is better. Yep.
2.a. All the neat stuff by sony, including RSS, web browser, etc.
2.b. Play almost anything from 1.5~2.71 without restarting, loading a secondary program, or having to use the tiff exploit.
2.c. Get to laugh a lot. Don't know why, I think happiness is built into this thing.

^_^ Kk.

it is kinda annoying... i live in devhook mode 85% of time, (even use it for gta's "i need v2.00" umd) and its a pain to have to reboot to use ir shell.
then reload it to use the web-browser.

have editied mine lots, and just what to check if custom fonts still works on this one? (using xflash i guess to change it)
also custom backgrounds - does it support themes (v2 upwards - i have a pic of my kids on it, but if i replace the background the icons are corrupt, rather use themes if possible)

anyone who has flashed please let me know if i can customise it? else am happy keeping 1.5 one look / devhook 2.71 another

It looks good but does every single homebrew/emulator work on this firmware and can I use theme psp to put on my beloved golden sun theme. Im so familiar with harleyg's and I love the dual booting (I dont know why ). Is this firmware really that good that I should replace harleyg's with it.

2.71 SE, the alternative golden firmware, coming soon to a PSP near you

LOL
anyway lets answer a question

Is this firmware really that good that I should replace harleyg's with it?
This firmware is excellent, as it combines being able to play comercial and homebrew games without devhook. Where you chould replace it depends on the following really;
Do you use devhook often?
Yes=Its worth at least trying out this firmware as devhook takes ages to load and stuff
No=May as well stay at 1.50 then
Whats Devhook???=.....Please tell me your joking, you must know what devhook is

Do you like customising your XMB?
Yes=Stay at 1.50 as the flash customising tools (like X-flash and Theme PSP) are much more advanced (and thus, much better) than the 2 that are on 2.71 SE
No=Depends on your answer to question 1 (devhook)
Whats a XMB???=Cross Media Bar, aka the psp startup menu thing

Do you use ISOs?
Yes=READ THE RULEZ NO ISO TALK
No=Good, ur no pirate, upgrading depends on your other 2 answers
Whats an ISO???=Not gonna bother telling you, so you dont try an use em, so you dont start pointless 'What do i do to get this ISO working' thread

im wondering will wifi work on this costum firmware im asking cus i plan to update to 2.0 then go back to 1.50 and then flash this costum firmware not gona take eny chanses in briking another psp,also i have harlegs CF so im thiking i have to do this no matter what if not plz tell me thx in advance and this is the best homebrew so far =D

jak66
October 25th, 2006, 18:23
wifi should work, but wpa or whatever wont work on 1.50 homebrew (cause 1.50 only had no security and wep security options) its up to you if you want to go for a clean firmware, but it shouldnt be neccesary as it wipes your flash before updating

October 25th, 2006, 18:33

jak66
October 25th, 2006, 18:42
it is possible to move to any firmware via recovery.
just move the "RECOVERY" folder inside the "files for recovery" folder to the GAME folder
get update eboot (any)
rename it to UPDATE.PBP (if that doesn't work, rename it to UPDATE)
put that into the "RECOVERY" folder
turn PSP off (if it was turned on), then hold R and turn psp on
select run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP and press X
press X again when disclaimer comes up and your psp will begin degrading (or upgrading if you used 2.80/2.81 update ebbot)

How the heck do i install this? The first page didnt show any instructions and neither did the readme file... i figured i just needed to move the 4 game files from "Newinstall" into my game folder. I loaded up the "SE-B Installer" thing and it started like it was a game (Like i figured it would) but then it just turned my PSP off and nothing happened when i restarted it (Lucky im not bricked...).

Can someone kindly give me instructions to install this? My firmware is 2.71

You have to run the update maker before the installer, then move the file made (DATA.DAXR) from the "seupdmaker" folder to the "271seflasher" folder

EDIT:

probably, but i dont use as all homebrew i use works on 2.71 SE, but as far as i know only iso loaders and flashers (like x-flash) dont work on 2.71 SE

October 25th, 2006, 18:57
ah, no, it has to be done on a 1.50 (this was done as TA-082 people would brick if the updated to 2.71 SE cause of 1.50 bootstrap, as TA-082 people cannot get to 1.50, they cannot update to 2.71 SE)

Dark Alex; seriosuly; this SE crap is a waste of time its cool and nifty and all but its not what we really need. This does not help us to launch games requiring 2.80-2.81 firmware nor will it ever help us launch the 3.00 firmware with the psone emulator. Stop wasting your and our time.

well you find the kernal exploit that Dark needs for 2.80 and the eboot running exploit he needs for 2.81, them im sure he'll gladly make an eboot loader type thing for 2.80/2.81

Stop talking shit.... if you want that, make it yourself and let the good coders keep doing their stuff.

Anyway, leaving the ISO loading matter aside, this is a great advance into making the perfect custom fw, is really great to use the browser an rss reader without having to reboot into devhook (don't get me wrong booster, i still think DH is great!)

The only thing we need now to make this perfect is x-flash with 2.71 SE-B support :D

If we are to have a new version of Device Hook (like version 0.47 or something), someone has to go and crack the 2.80 or 2.81 firmware first and that unfortunately takes time. :(

you have to devhook for cheat device as it was 2.71 that blocked the save data exploit

for ir shell grab the fix here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=39814)


I am sad to report that the Se-A update to Se-B only bricked my psp. I was able to recover though. I had an error I had not seen before. Semi-Error writing sysctrl.prx or somthing

I read at a different psp site that if you upgrade from SE-A to SE-B with custom flash mods (gameboot, backgrounds, font) it can brick due to lack of space (or something like that), but it didnt happen to me, so i dunno

EDIT: That was indeed my problem. I got a clean install of 2.71 SE-A and it updated perfectly. I don't know if it was a one in a million chance or a bug but heed my warning. Don't use the updater if you have flashed custom gameboots, backgrounds, or fonts. You just never know.

No, you do not have to uninstall it(but I would). And no, it does not have auto usb. That was a .prx mod. Maybe support for those in the future.

No you dont need to as it wipes our flash, then installs the firmware


also, does this have the same features as harley g in that you can just plug in usb and it turns on, i really like that
no it doest, that plug in usb thing is a custom prx addon isnt it, and custom prxs arnt supported in this version (but maybe next version, im begining to miss mp3xmb)

when u can set ur photos as backgrounds i dunno why one would want to flash a background anyways...

one BEAUTIFUL thing is you can go into the recovery menu, and set the option so your 1.50/1.00 homebrew can go in /psp/game/ and your 2.xx homebrew goes to /psp/game271/

much better cuz when running devhook you can still run most of your good homebrew, which is under /psp/game/ :)

also more compatibility for games like SMM and others that hard-code /psp/game/xxx into them.

THIS is the GOLDEN FIRMWARE that everyone has been waiting for. THIS IS IT.

SONY = u lose.

one question...has anyone tried flashing custom prx loading config files yet?

and to answer some questions: gameboots, backgrounds, coldboots, etc can all be flashed w/ no problem.

and if you have a fresh 2.71 se-a...it takes about 2 seconds to update to se-b :P

im looking forward to prx's i love aiomod


shit i have one more question, i need help can someone walk me through

it said something about if you wanna recover due to a brick you can just use the same 2 folders you used to flash.

I used PSP Set 0.9 to change the gameboot screen and the bootsound on 2.71 SE-A. The program is written for FW 1.50 but works if put in the GAME150 folder. You can restore the defaults for those. Didn't try the option to change the firmware number in case I landed up with a brick or that Red Screen Of Doom which is not good either.

As for the font..you'll just have to obtain it from a clean firmware dump. Or search somewhere on the Internet. I found some font pack for the PSP and it did have the default font, but I can't remember what exactly it was called though.

dcemu did not post news of devhook versions that supported iso loading. Am I right? Because of the piracy issue. They waited for a umd only version, didnt they? Then it made the news.

So why post news of this when the only new feature is iso support? I am against piracy and I just think hosting this is a bit hypocritical of the sites preachings and devhook history.

I love this place by the way, just thought id put that out there...

Lots of hard work put into this! but i dont think its for everyone, i'll stick with 1.5 and devhook .46 doing up 2.71,

all this work just to play 1.5 homebrew in 2.71? dark_alex is spoiling ALOT of people, when he could just say, boot your lazy ass to 1.5. But i guess if you have a puny sized memory stick and need the space. I'd rather see updated devhooks or custom emulated firmwares bumping 0x89, for the ammount of time i spend using 1.5 homebrew to playing Iso's in devhook, its like 10% 1.5 brew 90% iso brew. i'm sure its like that for a number of us, always a step in the right direction but i dont like the idea of upgrading my flash everytime a newer firmware or game that requires a higher firmware comes out

I've found some flaws in the 1.50 kernel mode, mainly with the CPS2 emulator...The games now lag like a slug...This sux, I really wanted to stay on this firmware, but this is the emulator I mostly play on my PSP right now. I've tried both kernel and non kernel versions and it still happens...I even converted the games again, just to make sure but it's still happening.

Please visit the thread I just put up in the "PSP Emulation and Homebrew Forum" if any of you guys find a way around this....It happens mainly with the games that require a lot of push, like the trademark Capcom VS. series games and Progear.

First thing you'll notice is it takes a lot longer to load the games when "loading sprites cache" is in effect...take a look-see and you'll see what I mean.

I think 1.5 is still better since all this update does is make a little bit of homebrew a little more accesible(when you could play all in 1.5)and makes illegal iso's easier to steal, in other words, stay at 1.5, just some words of advise, but do whatever you want, and why put your PSP at risk of becoming a brick?

A bit over the top my friend. The installation is well coded and i haven't heard of any confirmed bricks. And you dwell on the pirating issue without mentioning one of the best things about it... no need for devhook to play umds requiring fw2.xx. You can't do that with 1.5!

Also this software cannot and does not "makes illegal iso's easier to steal" if i was dark alex i'd sue your ass for that bit of fantasy. If you must give advice on wether to try this or not at least try to base your argument on facts. This custom firmware is fantastic which you would be able to find out if you weren't such a scardy cat:p

Kramer-When your done smoking your pipe, come back into this thread. Dude, think about what you said. I give the SE credit only to the fact that it has recovery mode. But lets start here with these 2 questions Does it run ALL homebrew? No you cannot run umdemulator, fastloader, xflash, pspset, or any version changer for that matter. If you try a version changer the psp gets messed up! Do you have any protection from updates? Not at all! Your still running a 2.71 the only cool thing (and you know it) is the fact that you can run 1.50 eboots. 1.00 eboots? Who cares! are you a girl? No. Do you need your folders "organized?" 1.50 offers users protection from updates, runs all homebrew and it is the hardest firmware to find packaged nowadays. This project in general, is a waste of our time and it is only a mear fab. In about a month or 2 something GOOD will come out and you all will dispatch of this firmware, trust me. Even if devhook .48 or something gets released you will have no protection from an update. People always update by accident because well, people are stupid. :-)

Looks like Booster (if he isn't being a dork about that whole "Sony may shut down boosters project" bull) is our only hope because Dark hasn't released anything in while that is good. I respect his intelligence and skill in coding to the upmost and i could never compare to him in my life but this is a waste.

Kramer-When your done smoking your pipe, come back into this thread. Dude, think about what you said.

I finished my pipe and ive had a think about what I said. Ive come to the conclusion that you dont really know what your talking about because this firmware allready blocks updates and there is no need for umdemulator or fastloader it has a built in iso/cso loader allready plus play iso/cso/s straight from the game menu. I dont think there is a need to "dispatch" this firmware when a new devhook comes out(if it does anyway:o) because we can just run the new devhook like we normally would on a 1.5:rolleyes: .

I dont think this project is a waste of time because there is thousands of people around the world enjoying it right now.

The thing I dont get is why your so protective over 1.5 because we can go straight back to it if we want to.

1.5 cons
>have to load devhook up if you want to run 2.0+ UMD's.
>Have to load up devhook for web browser.

And If ure talkin bout xflash thers currently uflash to customize and has a few aspects of x-flash.And its still being developed so future releases could be better

Oh and dark alex if youre readin this please edit the reverse devhook and put a 271F-seB rather than 271F this way we can emulate a 2.71 with 1.5 capabilities and we could access cheatmaster and cwcheat aswell as the svcapture module to work with our homebrews(Cheatmaster could hack snes gba and gameboy games if u dun know this)
I love cheating:D

i tried with emulated 1.5 cw cheat and cheatmaster works but svcapture dun work and 1 more thing to add to the misery is snestyl 0.42me dun work with emulated 1.5 so i use 0.3me

what he meant was if you version spoof your 1.5 psp (to anything higher than 2.82 now) it wont let you update your psp cause your psp thinks its already at a higher firmware

EDIT:LOLZ, just managed to use theme psp on this firmware, i tried all (except menu name would brick i think so i didnt try them) and only backgroungs didnt work, probably cause there wasnt enough space on the flash

i am onli hopin for somthing like a dual boot along with a devhook thats supports 2.71seb flash I dun get it why emulate 271F when we have 2.71seb:confused: but if 2.71se could load prx like cheatmaster and svcapture I will delete devhook from my ms until 2.81 comes

Oh and if devhook project is still alive and kickin and thers a devhook 2.81 we will definitely see 2.81se:)

one more thing thats bugging me is the advance option in recovery is that u can flash pspbtncf_game so if I get cwcheat,cheatmaster and svc to work with 2.71F devhook will I beable to get it into 271seb by flashing it?

And if it does not do that could anybody explain to me the purpose of the advance option I read at 2.71seB readme by dark alex but it just say "This setting shouldn't be touched by most users, since they are mainly for debugging purposes":confused:
Someone explain to me

I was reluctant to use 2.71 SEa but when 2.71SEb came out, and I learned about the recovery mode, I thought I'd give it a shot.

I bloody love it! Its so handy being able to play .wma's, flash, use the net and run my LEGIT ISO's without having to go through the devhook boot process. And playing the Loco Roco demo straight after a round of PSPRevolution is worth it by its self :D
And I've had to use the recovery mode (WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO FLASH CUSTOM FONTS OR MENUS!) as I partially bricked it, but I was back to 1.5 and back to 2.71 in 2 easy steps.

I highly recomend this to everyone. Afterall, you can pop back to 1.5 in around 3 minutes anytime you want!

I think the flak that this custom firmware has taken is due, in part, because some people may have spent time and money trying to attain a 1.50 PSP before getting slapped in the face because of homebrew.

For instance, I paid 400 USD for a 1.0 PSP from Japan about 8 months ago. And I was happy, because, in the foreseeable future, there was no dowgrade to 1.0 (in fact it was deemed impossible, since there was NO update to 1.0 since it was the ORIGINAL firmware). So not only did I buy a piece of hardware that could play homebrew without the use of exploits or any of that nonesense, I also had an investment in my hands, I could sell it later on for alot more money because it was becoming rarer by the day.

When the 1.0 downgrader had come out (which, became useless, because most of the homebrew out there was already kxploited for 1.50 and some required files 1.50 had that 1.0 didn't) I was upset. I had spent way more money than necessary buying a rare item only to find out that the homebrew community released a 1.0 downgrader that essentially made light of my investment.

I love my 1.50 and 1.0 to death. I upgraded the 1.0 using ookm's 1.0 reversion tool, which can upgrade to 1.50 and then revert the firmware back to 1.0 using files from that PSP. I played around with devhook on it, but I felt like I was cheating myself. There was my $400 dollar 1.5, which I could have bought a cheap 2.0 on Ebay and downgraded to 1.5 if I really needed to.

Well, point of my post is, that I feel some people have become comforable with the 1.5 and some may have even invested more money in it than others may have.

But we're all family here, we shouldn't condemn each other for their choices in firmware. Each person will have different firmware preference depending on their individual needs.

For the person who never uses the webbrowser (official or homebrew) what use is 2.71? For the person who never uses homebrew what use is 1.5? For the person who customized their 1.5 why upgrade to a firmware that doesn't support customization?

I think its great that Dark Alex is making these and while I may never use it, I still respect him for it. But we need not condemn one another for their choices of firmware.

There is nothing wrong with the game and it worked fine on my 1.50 before I upgraded, and it also doesn't work on my friend's 2.71 SEB. I installed the firmware just as I was suppose to, I followed step by step, yet, this problem occurs. Has this happened to anyone else in Madden or any other game for that matter? Perhaps a glitch in the firmware? In any case, this is an awesome upgrade and I would like to thank Dark Alex for making such a great custom firmware! Hopefully he could fix this glitch, that is if it exists.

Custom 2.71 SE-B rocks! I love the great new feature that's been added but can't say because it'd be against the forum rules to discuss about it. High time brilliant in any case though! :)


You talking about the pretty Icons that show up without using Devhook:D

Well, glad i upgraded to this from 1.5 + devhook.

Only loss for me was the ME version of Snes9xTYL0.4.2 but the non-ME version works.

Worth upgrading just to be able to use the web-browser and wifi sniffer under the same firmware, but being able to run newish games and homebrew without switching firmware is great.

I just hope that Pro Evo 6 works on this FW.

I will be receiving my shiny 1.5 PSP in the next couple days. This firmware sounds awesome but having never done a firmware upgrade like this I am very scared of bricking the PSP. What safeguards are in place to insure that does not happen? I've seen the installer threads in the homebrew forum. Has any one tried these?

I used the Firmware Installer in the other thread, definitely recommend it.

You'll not brick your PSP, i didn't.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I searched a couple of pages here and couldn't find the answer. I'm not going to search 13 pages! Anyway, what I want to know is how do I hide corrupt icons???

I enabled "hide corrupt icons" in configuration and I've tried using Sei PSP Tool, but I still get a corrupt icon along with each homebrew I put on my PSP. With Sei PSP Tool, I tried both the "Corrupted Icons" option (which worked for me when I had 1.5), and the "Convert 1.5 to 1.0" option, but neither one worked. I tried putting my homebrew on the GAME and on the GAME150 folders. I don't know what else to try. Someone help me.

ME version works fine for me...are you putting it in the game150 folder? or if you set it the opposite, in the game folder?

did you try combining it to a 1.0 eboot?

unfortunatly, when you have folder and folder%, folder will show up corrupt wether you are hiding corrupt icons or not.

my solution? i used psp brew to turn all my 1.50 folder and folder%'s into 1.00 folder's and problem solved.

any other corrupt icons means they need to be "fixed"....check dark_alex's readme for info on that, where he mentions irshell problems...

http://pspupdates.qj.net/index.php?pg=49&aid=69593 <--- one of many programs that "fix" these corrupt homebrew....the problem is in the param.sfo, so if you unpack a working eboot, take the param.sfo, unpack the corrupt eboot, replace the sfo with the working sfo, repack it, it will work! you'll just need to change the homebrew's name w/ some kind of homebrew customizer.

Mmk... I read all the pages so far but I still don't get alot of things.

I got a 1.5FW and I usually just use it for GBA roms (I own them in real life >_>) Would that thing work with this?:confused:

Umm... what exactly does this thing do anyway >_> (Sorry if it was answered already, I'm not that good with Psp techy stuff)

How do I install this anyway o.o


Thanks in advance

Thanks, I tried the program from the link you gave and it works! It just sucks I have to convert everything one by one now.

I still have one corrupt icon though, it is one that showed up after I installed SE-B. I think it's the eboot from the RECOVERY folder. Do you know how to fix this one?

Dammit, there's one more problem. My PSP won't save bookmarks now. I mean, I can save them if I create PSP -> SYSTEM -> BROWSER folders in my PSP. The problem is, after saving a bookmark and then going to enter in a new URL, when I go back to view my bookmarks, they're mysteriously gone!

There is a Programm called psinstall this thing can sort the corrupt files at the bottom of the list.
It helped for me.

For all the people that are anxious about updating to 2.71 SE b" there is now a modchip available. It runs any Firmware plus the good old 1.5 in the FlashRom. I would rather pay the fee (about 50 €) of having it installed than risking a potential Brick by messing again with my Flash.
