PSP: 3.02 OE Released - Custom Firmware for PSP released

[hirolau]

taking long time to create this DATA.DXAR, almost 1 h! maybe there is something wrong?

[kevinborchert]

disable all of your prx's cause they wont work with the firmware to my knowledge

[revolver6]

i heard u can play psone games on this is it true?

[RomComZom]

the vcscheatdevice.prx is working

[irishwhip]

yes you can play ps1 games. so far i have only tried crash bandicoot, which worked perfectly

[kiore]

DATA.DXAR took over an hour on my psp but its worth the wait , yo'll see

[irishwhip]

DATA.DXAR speed depends on your memory stick size and type i believe. i used a 1gb sony high speed (the ones with the red stripe) and it took 5 minutes

[the_eternal_dark]

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

No, there are no custom firmwares for the TA-82 boards nor are there any downgraders for 2.81 so that you could install it. Sorry man.

All 4 of the PSP's I've updated work like a charm. Finally, no devhook to kick ass in Socom 2 online.

Remember to ask if you are having problems, but be clear in describing them.

[keefurxxcore]

damnit:(

[brasssmunky]

i would have to say
i love dark alex
and harleyg
and Mathieulh
whom i have never heard of
but anyways
thank you guys
for doing all of this
for free
just for the joy of the PSP homebrew community
i thank you.
very much.
cant wait for 3.02OE-B
with DAX SUPPORT!
or
whenever you get DAX support
not necissarily -b
but hopefully soon
thanks :D

[DarthPaul]

in which folder do i have to put the psx games??

[gymnotropic]

My firmware shows up as "3.02 OE-A", or whatever, but I can't run any homebrew. It only recognizes the "GAME" folder, and not "GAME150" and "GAME302". Did I do something wrong..?

try changing the kernel mode through the recovery.

[HI-Saturn]

Thanks so much Dark Alex

Took Less than 20mins works awsome

Star Trek Legacy here I come!!

[Jonesyxxiv]

The web browser wont work for me I get the sblue screen with the different launguages on it like when ur setting get erased. Everything else is fine though. I boot strat into iRshell and can use devhook for the browser.

[Auriman1]

Homebrew and UMD's wouldn't load for me, for whatever reason. I think I'll stay with SE-C for now, but this is amazing progress, nonetheless.

[DarthPaul]

press the O button when you get the error of the blue screen and reboot. that will fix it(i guess)

[gymnotropic]

try changing the kernel mode through the recovery.

But isn't the Recovery that homebrew application in the 302OE folder? I can't run anything, unless I have to press a certian key combination.

Edit: Ah, you need to restart and press R.

[DarthPaul]

yeah,recovery is in the game folder..but it doesnt load through the Game Menu,to load,turn off your PSP,and boot it holding the R button,that will lead you to a purple screen,thats the Recovery mode,you can change many options there.

[Gizmo356]

No just change the kernal from 3.02 to 1.5 and everything will work fine.

[gunntims0103]

This is making great progress thus far from what iv read..

BTW does anyone notice that the news post says "3.0 OE" when its really "3.02 OE-A" this really should be changed....

[gymnotropic]

Thanks. :3 Was a bit concerned. This is very nice.

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

hey, can someone answer me plz?!?!?! Can you run devhook 0.46hybird on it??

[zevende]

I installed this on my PSP. The flashing process is pretty much identical to the 2.71 SE flashers except that it wants you to manually reboot after flashing. The firmware itself is great. There are no bugs that I've seen yet, and all of my emulators are working great. I would reccommend installing this fw 100%.

[de.silva89]

Hi, i have Pulp Fiction UMD region 1 and tried it on this firmware on my PSP but it wont work even with all options enabled in recovery

[johnsmith555]

nah recovery menu doesnt work cauz it wont turn on. any ideas?

[tuta]

do you have corrupt F1
Try launching psp browser if it gives u bsod u have corrupted flash1

[bmwlover89]

ok so i bought my new psp it has 2.60 on it you can move this to a diff forum thred but how do i put home brew on it without gta or how do i down grade...could you put links to good downgraders or homebrew apps. thanks

[DarthPaul]

playing Hot Shot Golf 2 right now:D this emulator rocks!...lol dont know how to change the scree size

[DarthPaul]

oh oh! yeah!!! with the Home button! this rocks!!

[johnsmith555]

omg i hate dark alex

[johnsmith555]

how do i launch the browser if i cant turn it on

[the_eternal_dark]

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

Yes, if it is able to run in 1.5, you can run it here.

Upgrade to 2.71 and get the downgrader from here:
http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/2-71-downdater-by-dark_alex-mathieulh-yoshi-34338.html

Only use it if you do not have the TA-82 motherboard. Please do not brick because of something so easy to check for and avoid.

Once you are at 1.5, join us at the new 3.02 OE-A. It's easy to do and totally worth it.

[tophead420]

i just got home and seen this and was like hey ths looks cool im just wondering if this is as good as 2.71 SE-C could someone help me out id like to try this and id like to know if its worth it or should i wait till a second release and if this is worth it please tell me lol thanks

[DarthPaul]

[XioN980]

omg i hate dark alex

Dude, shut up :mad:

He didn't have to make this release after what happened to him with the leagal problems surrounding immitators bricking PSP's. Which you'd know if you weren't retarde,. He also just lost two family members to cancer which also requires a normal state of mental healthg to know is not good. :mad:

And finally why do you hate him for what happened to your PSP: You probably did something wrong, Its your own damn fault, it worked for heaps of other people.

[johnsmith555]

shut up loser

[Psyflex]

shut up loser

stay away from here

everithing works like a charm

[SpooForBrains]

Dude, seriously, way to get people to help you. You are, so far, the only person this has happened to, so help us out so we can tell you where it went wrong.

First off, do you have a TA-082 motherboard?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TA-082

If you do, then that is why your PSP bricked.

[ugly dude]

Hi I was just wondering, if I install 3.02 OE is it possible to restall default settle if I want to go back to 1.5 firmware? Many thanks

[dejkirkby]

Hi I was just wondering, if I install 3.02 OE is it possible to restall default settle if I want to go back to 1.5 firmware? Many thanks

Put the recovery folder (inside the flasher for recovery file) into the GAME folder on your ms. Then get a 1.50 FW eboot.pbp file (search for this) and rename it UPDATE.PBP and put that inside the recovery folder also. If you aren't happy or you brick your psp, you can enter recovery mode (R while powering up) and reflash to 1.50.

[ugly dude]

many thanks for you reply

[psp_sfdm]

Does anyone have any problem with using Wifi in 3.02 OE-A with WPA-PSK? In 2.71 SE-C, I was able to connect with my router using WPA-PSK, but with this new firmware, I can't connect to it anymore. NOTE: I know WEP works , but I don't want to use it.

Other than that issue, I like this new firmware and thanks to Dark_Alex, Mathieulh and HarleyG for putting out great apps. :)

I think WPA encryption is one of the very few bugs in this custom firmware. It doesn't work properly yet. Sorry.

[MogHunter]

wow this is cool i just installed it this morning ^^

[Harshboy]

Is it any different from 2.71 SE-C? Is it really worth upgrading? I have it downloaded, just wondering if i should really bother....

[Napalm-Death]

omg i hate dark alex
Stop being such an idiot. It's not his fault you bricked, there's a warning for a reason.

[nomi]

Yesss!!!

[mavsman4457]

I plan on installing this on my friend's PSP so he doesn't have to deal with devhook because he isn't PSP savy. If I do install it on there would it be difficult for him to use at all?

[Napalm-Death]

Nope, you use it just like a regular firmware.

[khamdaraphone]

I install the 3.00 OE-A and non of my homebrew works anymore. didi i do sumthing worng?:confused:

[Waqs]

Ive got resident evil 1 working on my 3.02 OE-A.... crash bandicoot and tekken 2 on the way...

Resi works sooooooooooooooooooo smooth and flawlessly :D....

[heeroyun]

What kind of ISO did u use ?
From the Sony online shop ?
Or just a normal PSX ISO ?

[psp_sfdm]

What kind of ISO did u use ?

The only games that work in 3.02 OE-A is the ones that you purchase from the Sony online shop.

[froggie22]

can someone please release somthing that shows people were to put all the files and stuff. i think i have it all good now but im not sure.

this fw is awesome im loving it. just downgraded from 2.80 =D

were do i put the iso files?

[froggie22]

great program. u legend dark alex

[bullhead]

I install the 3.00 OE-A and non of my homebrew works anymore. didi i do sumthing worng?:confused:

Your homebrew is probably in the wrong folder. You need to create a"game302" folder in the same part of your memory stick as "game" "photo" etc...

bull, x.

[Waqs]

The only games that work in 3.02 OE-A is the ones that you purchase from the Sony online shop.

Yep... although in 3.02 OE-A a certain feature is hacked which mans who can share them with any1.

[Lodis]

Your homebrew is probably in the wrong folder. You need to create a"game302" folder in the same part of your memory stick as "game" "photo" etc...

bull, x.


After installing 3.02 OE, I just set my GAME folder to 1.5 kernel. Everything works flawlessly including the offcial Psx games, so far I have played Tekken 2, Crash Bandicoot, Hotshots 2, Bio Hazard and Syphon filter.

[TacticalBread]

Glad to see Dark_AleX is still around, and releasing awesome new stuff. :D

[x-zero]

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

STFU already and have some more respect to Dark Alex and his work. I can care less if i get banned for this just give him more respect that's all.

[IamAbe]

just updated!!!! sooo awasome!! thanx DaX!! cant wait for revB!!

install info:
from 2.71sec
used 1.50us and 3.02jp

[IamAbe]

OMG!!!!! I'm playing Crash Bandicoot on my PSP!!!! I f*ckin' love you dark_alex!!!! :D:D:D

[glennpfc]

Everytime i run the Update maker i get a "Invalid SHA-1. Try Again". I've tried running it 5 times now and i keep getting the error... ive tried different sources for the eboots, and i hav tried using 2 eboots recomended in another guide and still the error. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I cant seem to find any one else who has had the same problem :S

Thanks in advance

[fucht017]

Stuppid question?...Where do you put the "flasher for recovery" file.

[Valiant]

Ok I tried this, ended up getting a sony blue screen with a lot of different languages telling me to press the "O" button. I did and the psp started freaking out. What should I do at this point...it is just sitting there with a blank screen.

[naveedch_leo]

hey guyz im having problem in running ma ripped isos in 3.02OE-B,i put them in the ISO folder but whenever i try to open them,ends in a message"Game COULD NOT START (800100022)"
i think i dun need any kind of loader like devhook in 3.02OE-B,then whats the problem:(
need ur help guyz

[trialser]

I no its off topic, but how do I get a 2.81 game to run on a 2.8 fw psp??

[darkrulier]

Where can i download the 1.50 and 3.02 updaters??????

[Flatlander]

Hey, I'm having a problem loading isos/csos from the XMB.. Is there a setting you're supposed to change for it? Everything else works fine, but the xmb loading isos! It just loads a black screen then freezes.. Any ideas?

[NoNaym]

please help...

ran oeupdmaker which worked fine
rebooted and now I can't get anything listed under games... so I can't run any programs anymore

any ideas?

[Project.funky]

^^


Hold down R when booting and change the Kernel Mode to 1.5
then make sure you have your games in folder psp/game150

[NoNaym]

I found my mistake. It wasn't the kernel mode, I just didn't realize that I needed a plain "GAME" folder under the PSP folder to get all the games to show up. Thanks for trying P.Funky!!

[wispyrosfi]

Hello! First of all I have a mediocre knowledge about pc and stuff. I am a new user of psp and have the ta-082 something motherboard. I downgraded to 1.5 firm and then to 3.02 OE with great success. But I have a problem. My pcs don't recognize psp anymore. It used to with firmware 1.5 but not anymore with 3.02. I saw a corrupted file in the memory stick and I reformated it. My umds play ok. I cannot connect psp through usb. Actually I tried extreme link 1.30 and followed the guide. everything fine except the psp usb b drivers which is never extracted. I exctract it in a folder and then it has 0 bytes in it. I would be thankfull if somebody

1) sent me the inf file of the usb b drivers or gave me some guidance from this point.
2)As I stated before I reformatted the memory stick. Can I move the folder with the back to 1.50 files throught my card reader and get 1.50 back. Do I need hend again?
Please please somebody tell me. Thank you in advance. (I read everything I could.)

[kristneder]

Hi. I've just updated my PSP to this FW (3.02 OE-B) from a 2.8 =).

I'm having some problems in running apps and iso's. Nothing seems to work. I've made these folders in the x:\PSP\ folder.:
GAME
GAME150
GAME302
and in the root of the Memory stick I made a folder named ISO where I've put a .ISO file.

When I turn on my PSP and find the game menu, I can see them all, but when i load them up it just says; Game cannot be started (800something321).

Same thing with random homebrew apps (appart from a different error)

I've messed around with the recovery thingy (holding R while booting), where i've changed the kernel value back and forth from 1.5 and 3.02..

Can someone guide me through this madness? =)

Thanks in advance!

[urbansamurai431]

I have the prgoram, but I don't understand how to use it. can someone help me please???

[brocko237]

Someone Please help me!! I can't even update to 3.02oe-a!

when I run OEUPDMAKER it sits at the last step "extracting and something 3.02 firmware..."

I am going crazy, I've tried 4 times now, sits there for over an hour. tried formatting my mem stick and redownloading the files.

I have an original 1.5 firmware system, and have been using devhook.

Has anyone else had this problem??????????????

[adell14]

[dupfold]

Configuration

I rock for a newbie!

[vastspace91]

Can this work on already installed 3.02 Firmware?

[hellspawn360]

[coolsoul]

thnanks for cool download

[PLZKLLME0080]

so i will still be able to run Snes 9x tyl 4.2?

[coolsoul]

hi bro thansk

[FerocitY]

- 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.

1. what do they mean Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.pbp" and "302.pbp"?? i dont see those files in there. there is only one that say EBOOT.PBP

2.Run the program. What is the program i dont see it.

[spanishnugz]

How do I go from 3.02 OE-B to 3.03 OE-C? PLEASE HOOK ME UP??!!!!

[Shrygue]

You can upgrade straight to 3.03 OE-C from 3.02 OE-B. The custom firmware package can be found HERE (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=50596). Make sure to read the readme document in the download first.

[coolsoul]

thnaks

[keane10]

Hi guys, its my dcemu forum debut!

Anyway, Iv got D_A's 3.03 OE-A, its brilliant but it hasnt got any CPU speed. Does anyone know if this exists? Also, can I run devhook 0.46 (which has CPU speed which I need for NFS Carbon) with OE-A? If yes how do I install it?

Thanks
Keane10

[Shrygue]

Keane10, have you tried looking in the recovery menu and setting up CPU speed there? You can access this by holding the R shoulder button down when you turn on your PSP.

[liam79]

i need 3.02 firmware eboot can any 1 help me find it

[liam79]

ive downloaded it but when i open the winzip file its empty

[blackrave]

You should install one of the newer custom firmwares instead anyway. Try installing 3.40 OE-A.

[draven75]

I'm a noobie to this site and was wounding if anyone can help me? I have been trying to download a psx game, but i couldn't figure out how to load the game to my psp.

[biijjj]

link.

[cowblade]

I'm a little confused... I've Downloaded this "pack" and all i got was a "3020E.rar" file. I didn't get a folder or anything, just said singular file. All other download sites offer the same conclusion. I'm wondering if its impossible to get the full download now that alex has retired. i hear talk of "oeupdmaker" folders and such, which i do not have. Where do i get the full version of this download, as Dc-emus guide seems to be inconclusive.

[DamageInc]

ummm... im very new to this. Just so you know.


I download this file, and then try to extract it. but then i get "error: Bad Block" and says the eboot could not be extracted correctly. Am i doing anything wrong?

[dj2005]

ummm... im very new to this. Just so you know.

Download 3.40OE or 3.51 M33.

[vahnn]

Hi.. I just downgraded from 3.50 --> 1.5 and im trying to install the 3.02 OE so i can eventually play the psx games. When i do the very first step seen below The installer said it could not open file..

says opening and checking 150.pbp
can not open file

*Edit* the DATA.DXAR is created but it cant be used in the later instructions

please help me out thank you in advanced

- 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).

[bluenoseeug1875]

how do you download it

[yifferman]

hello , i am new in this how i can use this firmware?

[The EX]

This firmware is very outdated. Search for 3.52M33.

[Chuy1982]

I'll try.

[discombobulated]

There's some people who just love giving agony to others in bumping old, useless threads with useless posts. See above.

[darkness angel 777]

will this brick a TA-082 1.50 psp?

[gotchriz]

do you need a modded psp to use this fw or can I use it for a psp that I just bought used. Sorry for being a noob, I'm new to the hw community.

[kryst abegnalie]

do you need a modded psp to use this fw or can I use it for a psp that I just bought used. Sorry for being a noob, I'm new to the hw community.

Hi,

Its ok for being a noob gotchriz. I've been a noob once then by reading in forums, i learned a lot. You should use the newer firmware, use 3.52M33-4. It is the most stable custom firmware today. But if you like custom themes to put in you psp, use 3.71M33-2. But be careful for updating. BTW, what firmware do you own?? an official one or a custom firmware??

[Lindfield]

thanks :D

[jatip]

hoho!!!!you great Dark Alex!!!

[Lilguinto]

nice

[Lilguinto]

how??
