Dark Alex`s 3.03 Oe-c Released - Custom Firmware/PSX Emulator

[gunntims0103]

New release of the Custom Firmware that also supports the Full Speed Playstation Emulator, heres whats new:


Firmware Updates:

* AVC videos bitrate limit patched. The firmware limited the bitrate of avc videos to only 768 Kbps. OE now forces the limit to be 16384 Kbps. (Note: this doesn't mean than the psp can handle such a high bitrate, this means than they won't show error. I don't know which is the real maximum bitrate than the psp can handle at full speed)
* Speed of OE boot is now ~3 seconds faster than previous versions. (without plugins)
* CPU speed of XMB can now be changed.
* Wifi can now work at 333 Mhz!
* Added access to flash 0 and 1 via usb in the recovery menu, based on the great idea of USBSSS by Booster. Note that writing is enabled, so this is intended only for advanced users that know what they are doing in each moment.(It is not a great idea to change anything from the kd folder). Because of this addition, the rest of flashing options were removed.
* PSP isos can now be deleted as any normal memstick games. (also the size of the iso now shows fine when you press triangle->information).
* When formatting memory stick, GAME150, GAME303 and ISO directories will be automatically created!
* Changes in internal HEN core:
o If a EBOOT.PBP with a plain DATA.PSP had a data.psar, modulemgr took as size of the executable the size of data.psp+data.psar. Fixed. (this fix enables psx games to have plain data.psp without causing a memory error).
o Added a couple of patches found by Tyranid. One allows syscalls instructions to be used in kernel mode without causing a crash. The other allows sceKernelQueryModuleInfo to work with sceInit and previous modules.

Popstation Updates:

* The writing is now a bit different. This will avoid "Memory stick blinking too much" bug when using the plugin to load the 3.02 pops.
* popstation now lets the use of non-encrypted DATA.PSP. If data.psp is in the same directory as the app, popstation will use that as the DATA.PSP of the eboot.pbp. Otherwise, it will use the one from BASE.PBP. A DATA.PSP that imitates the original sony one is included.
* EBOOT.PBP generated with a non encrypted data.psp won't need the file KEYS.BIN at all. (Note: these EBOOT.PBP cannot work in versions prior to 3.03 OE-C due to a bug that those versions had.)

Check out our Popstation Compatibility List (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47123)
Got a v1.5 or 2.71 PSP, You need to use this GUIDE (http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/dcemu-official-guide-how-to-install-3-02-oe-a-then-to-oe-b-to-run-psone-games-47121.html) to update to the new custom firmware

[Mc_Logical]

man i like doing this stuff manually its alot more fun then using the noob easy install the noobs will have to wait lol this update is ok its good to read the size of the iso from game and u can delete them from game and the cpu on 333 in the xmb is better and booting psp is quiker the only prob is i was hoping the gta vcs iso will load without using devhook because it doesnt work from under game it only works on 2.71 SE C so i thought because this 3.03 OE C is C i thought gta vcs would work lol

[spike_132000]

[fucht017]

When i start up oeupdmaker it say's "cannot open file":confused: ..I put the oeupdmaker in my "GAME" directory...:confused:

[spike_132000]

Oh, what a shame..... I have loads of gamesaves... from 3.02OEB... Dammit!

[emuking]

awesome update though i to was hoping for disc swapping, how will i finish any rpg or mgs, cool update still :D

[Mc_Logical]

When i start up oeupdmaker it say's "cannot open file":confused: ..I put the oeupdmaker in my "GAME" directory...:confused: if your on 1.5 u put oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% in GAME but if your allready on custom firmware 3.03 OE B put them in GAME150 folder u need to get the 1.5 and 3.03 psp updates and rename them to 150.PBP and 303.PBP and put them in the oeupdmaker folder then run it from game it will create the DXAR file then u have to put the DXAR in the 303flasher folder not 303flasher% then put them both in GAME150 or GAME if your on 1.5 and the DXAR file will be in oeupdmaker once its created it

[Apoklepz]

awesome update though i to was hoping for disc swapping, how will i finish any rpg or mgs, cool update still :D

Look into CWcheat, my friend.

[kensotiblash]

is anyone is gettin this cause i'm having hard time fixing it. I got the 150.pbp and the 303.pbp but it'd not taking it. any answewrs? chat with me at MSN messager [email protected]. thanks!

[arapozo]

How does CWcheat allow you to play multi disc games?

[kensotiblash]

never mind i just need to read ALL of the forums. haha

[fucht017]

Thanks Logical i forgot about the 150.PBP and 303.PBP...Shame..Iforget so easy.

[pt9087]

very good, i like the idea of the -3 secs on boot

[Apoklepz]

How does CWcheat allow you to play multi disc games?

It has the ability to how should I put it?..."savestate" the moment you have to Swap discs via a .prx encription...You go back to the menu and load the second disc, activate the .prx savestate and walla.

My friend did it for me, that's how I beat Metal Gear Solid. I'll see if I can talk to him about this, later today.

[Mc_Logical]

Thanks Logical i forgot about the 150.PBP and 303.PBP...Shame..Iforget so easy. lol i know i remember last time i had to do this on another custom firmware its alot more fun doing this manually btw the xmb 333 cpu needs to be set from recovery mode under cpu set them both to 333 obviously after installing 3.03 SE C lol

[Wysiwyg]

This guy never sleeps. Haha sony, your behind once again!
.... right, where did that download link go....:D

[S34MU5]

Your name has "logical" in it.

Yet you talk no sense, cant spell, don't know how to use full stops and you call people noobs when you clearly are one

[plasmaballs]

Keep up the good work chief.

Dark_Alex is a GOD, three cheers as always

"hip hip..." etc.

[gr42178]

lol i know i remember last time i had to do this on another custom firmware its alot more fun doing this manually btw the xmb 333 cpu needs to be set from recovery mode under cpu set them both to 333 obviously after installing 3.03 SE C lol

Does it speed up the XMB a lot? Is the lag gone for icons to show up when your browsing through your games?

[kelvinwu]

Oh man ~! This is SOO COOL ~~~~

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

WE OWN SONY'S ASS!!!! go Dark_AleX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Apoklepz]

I just remembered those days I was waiting for loaders to enable higher firmware UMD's to play on 1.50...before Devhook even. Those days the PSP Hacking/Homebrew scene used to be 5 steps behind...Today, we just went 10 Leaps over SONY!

Thanks again Dark Alex! You are truly the reason why I still play games on my PSP.

I'd be a "zocker" to download that thing.

[F9zDark]

Yeah... Bricks abound I feel.

So any news on compatibility? RE2 doesn't work right (freezes after entering the police station). I'd rip RE1 to play, but after the result with RE2, I kinda lost motivation.

Does anyone know if RE1 plays good enough to beat?

I went to that site and SpySweeper immediately displayed an alert saying that it had blocked communication from that site; I suggest anyone who clicked that link run a spy sweep on their systems.

Luckily I am at work hahahaha, but thanks for the tip. I thought we didnt have idiots that did stupid sh*t like that here...

[fabianvaz]

i updated my 3 psp's already no bricks so far...:thumbup:

[crypysmoker]

The update is less than 1MB but this is 30 MB, whats up with that?

the update portion might be that small, but after you do what you are sopposed to and make your own update witht he sony firmwares, it is much higher then the original file... but 30Mb is waaay to high

[homemade]

From were i'm sitting looks like he CAN spell so i don't know why u messin with him, give the guy a break.

[tsurumaru]

How many times does this need to be said?

Popstation (by Dark AleX) converts your PSOne ISO's to a form compatible with POPS (The official SONY PSOne emulator for the PSP). If a game is not compatible or crashes when running on POPS then its likely that the emulator is currently incompatible.

SINCE THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SONY EMULATOR RUNNING YOUR PSONE GAMES, WE DO NOT HAVE THE SOURCE CODE AND CANNOT UPDATE/CHANGE IT IN ANY WAY.

Resident Evil 2 and 3 and any other games currently incompatible will remain so until SONY releases a new version of POPS which fixes this. So until then wait for the next Sony Firmware that has a more compatible version of POPS.

[NovaKane]

Hot damn, time to update again!

[fucht017]

You know what is so strange...ResidentE2 and 3 worked great in ver.3.02OEa or b i think...I did go in the policestation and saved it...But somehow when i reinstalled the game...Strange indeed:confused:

[PSP 101]

Great work Dark Alex!

[Gabba Gandalf]

wohooo the day comes
i can play my medal of honor umd in the wifi mode with full speed

NICE NICE NICE DAX :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

[Mc_Logical]

Your name has "logical" in it.

Yet you talk no sense, cant spell, don't know how to use full stops and you call people noobs when you clearly are one look man i dont care about spelling or full stops im lazy lol i was just helping ppl so get your finger out your ass n shut up man whats your prob? ****ing geek and im clearly a noob and how did u figure that one out?? ah! man its retards like u that need a good punch in the face why cuss me in a forum? when all im doing is helping ppl

[Gabba Gandalf]

can i update when i used the custom xmb menu ??

[Gabba Gandalf]

smooth brick ^^
no no just a joke

smooth upgrade thx dax :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

[scottyboynow]

OHHH.. yes, I saw 3.03OE-C in someones sig and was shouting out loud... YESSSS!!

[Mc_Logical]

if your on 1.5 u put oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% in GAME but if your allready on custom firmware 3.03 OE B put them in GAME150 folder u need to get the 1.5 and 3.03 psp updates and rename them to 150.PBP and 303.PBP and put them in the oeupdmaker folder then run it from game it will create the DXAR file then u have to put the DXAR in the 303flasher folder not 303flasher% then put them both in GAME150 or GAME if your on 1.5 and the DXAR file will be in oeupdmaker once its created it look does it really matter if theres any full stops in that or spelling? aslong as the person who wanted to know how can read it and understand whats the prob? u got me started now boy lol

[tsurumaru]

You know what is so strange...ResidentE2 and 3 worked great in ver.3.02OEa or b i think...I did go in the policestation and saved it...But somehow when i reinstalled the game...Strange indeed:confused:

I'm pretty sure that RE2 & 3 still crashed in the POPS version in 3.02.

POPS was updated in 3.03 but making it compatible with more games caused some others to develop problems (ie FFVII battle swirls) unfortunately this is often the case with emulators, fix one game break another. lol

Lets hope in 3.04 or 4.00 or whatever Sony's next firmware release is called POPS is updated again and we can decrypt the firmware to be able to use the new POPS on OE.

[Mc_Logical]

full stop oops did i 4get. lol

[dejkirkby]

and muppet if u go back a couple of threads your notice i mentioned that lol gta vcs doesnt work only through devhook

Quit being an ass.

[johansjg]

Will my old psx saves work after upgrading from 3.03 OE B to OE C??

[carlitx]

this is kool but now my halo unflashed cintor wont work :(

[Yobumtin]

Niiiceeee. :] I was wondering when the next one would be out. Good job. :thumbup: :cool:

[starogre]

Ya, i didn't brick as well.

Jeez lol I haven't used popstation till the first release, and now its totally different and confusing haha...oh well, my 4 gb stick is already full and i haven't beaten all the games on it yet.

just waiting for multidisc's that don't allow saving before disc removal to be released....and maybe save/load states! and (off topic) daedelus...but those are all emulators, not firmware hacks...oh well

[kpaul_nyc]

Are you sitting at the back of the class not paying attention again?

(Sorry couldn't resist it ;) :p )

"hoping the gta vcs iso will load without using devhook because it doesnt work from under game it only works on 2.71 SE C so i thought because this 3.03 OE C is C i thought gta vcs would work lol"

This guy says he isn't a n00b but is trying to run his ISO's from the game folder rather than from the X:\ISO folder and so he then uses Devhook to run it. Sounds like a n00bish error to me.....He means that he loads em from UNDER the game menu on the psp itself...

[tsurumaru]

Mc_Logical

With regards to your GTA VCS problems have you placed your ISO in a folder called ISO in the root of your memory stick? ISO's don't load from the Game directory as you seem to indicate you have been trying.
You should also note the the OE NoUMD mode doesn't work with many new games. Dark AleX has already commented that the currently implemented NoUMD mode is using too much memory and he would be looking into a new way to implement the feature in the future however it was not a simple fix and would take some time. Therefore you may need access the recovery menu and disable NoUMD mode and try loading the ISO with a UMD in the drive.

Good luck!

[DarthPaul]

Wtf!!!? Heck Yeah!!! I'm Back And This Is Out!!!

[tsurumaru]

He means that he loads em from UNDER the game menu on the psp itself...

Well its hard to understand exactly what he's trying to say, hence the importance of being able to communicate effectively (the very purpose of grammar).

Here's a very good example;

"and muppet if u go back a couple of threads your notice i mentioned that lol gta vcs doesnt work only through devhook"

"GTA doesn't work only through devhook"

= GTA works on everything except Devhook.

"GTA doesn't work, it only does through devhook"

= GTA only works through using Devhook.

So which is it, as from what has been written previously I had assumed it was the latter rather than the former?

Anyhow I don't want to this thread to turn into the Grammar Police or anything, just to show that writing in text speak can seriously limit your ability to communicate your point properly.

mc_logical needs to calm down. that guy was just trying to help and you blew up on him. anywho nice release and thank you very much DA.... whos not reading this....

[-=me=-]

gta works always, everywhere, every time.

its just the cheat device that only works in devhook (for me)

[Mc_Logical]

gta works always, everywhere, every time.

its just the cheat device that only works in devhook (for me)this forum is getting more and more interesting lol i have the settings in recovery mode under configuration all set right so iso`s work and gta vcs doesnt btw are u in america? because i have a brittish psp will that make any diff? lol i doubt it

[MrMojo]

look man i dont care about spelling or full stops im lazy lol i was just helping ppl so get your finger out your ass n shut up man whats your prob? ****ing geek and im clearly a noob and how did u figure that one out?? ah! man its retards like u that need a good punch in the face why cuss me in a forum? when all im doing is helping ppl

maybe because here we have also ppl (like me, 4 instance) who's native language is not English, and without punctuation your slang is not so easy to understand... especially in a straight-200-chars-sentence :mad: . Hey, man, he was just sick (as I am) of seing ppl here not even able to correctly write in their own language:(

OK, stop the flame here, stay friends :)

WTF? no u idiot i know they go in the ISO folder i mean iso`s show up under game yeah! and what im saying is that the gta vcs iso doesnt work when u load it from under game i thought this update might get the iso to work i was just hoping and it only works on 2.71 SE C the gta vcs iso but i load it through devhook on 3.03 SE C so think b4 u call me a noob u have a wedge up your ass boy i bet u only can cuss ppl on the net so your the guy sat at the front of class as 4me the guy whos near back yep who can make your life hell lol i left school 4yrs ago

Please see my above post, you still haven't said whether this is problem with NoUMD compatibility or whether you are unable to load the ISO at all.
Actually, I was trying to help you out as if you aren't able to load the ISO at all there shouldn't be a problem ordinarily as far as I am aware.

Oh yeah and the "back of the lesson" comment was a joke directed at Homemade not you. Nice of you to actually read what I had written. :rolleyes:

Anyway I hope you are able to fix your problem. I have read somewhere that someone with a similar problem was able to fix it by downgrading to 1.5 and then back up to 3.03. OE

OEnope dude i tried that b4 going back to 1.5 by getting the 1.5 update and rename the EBOOT.PBP to UPDATE.PBP and put that in the RECOVERY folder in GAME then run it from recovery mode, i went back to 1.5 then installed 3.03 OE again and the gta vcs iso doesnt work it just hangs on a black screen and btw i figured that out myself testing the 1.5 eboot back on 2.71 SE so am i really that noobish?? lol

[ICE]

Aruguing on the net is like the special olypmics. no matter if you win or lose your still a retard.

hahaha rofl thats terrible but still funny hahaha

im using that in my sig.

OK so its not a problem with OE so it could be your ISO. Did you rip it yourself and what size is it? If its had data ripped out to reduce its size that may be causing the problems with OE.

[F9zDark]

Actually you are wrong; the PRXs (which contains the PS Emulator) can be decrypted and rewritten... No need for source...

If this WAS the case with PRXs, there would be NO custom firmware.

If its had data ripped out to reduce its size that may be causing the problems with OE. i have a ripped version all the radio stations are gone its about 680mb the iso and my lil bro has the umd and ive dumped the whole game into an iso which is full and it still didnt load it only works through devhook

[homemade]

Are you sitting at the back of the class not paying attention again?

(Sorry couldn't resist it ;) :p )

"hoping the gta vcs iso will load without using devhook because it doesnt work from under game it only works on 2.71 SE C so i thought because this 3.03 OE C is C i thought gta vcs would work lol"

This guy says he isn't a n00b but is trying to run his ISO's from the game folder rather than from the X:\ISO folder and so he then uses Devhook to run it. Sounds like a n00bish error to me.....

Lol i'm not saying he isn't a noob, all i was saying was it seems like he can spell.

[dejkirkby]

Mc_Logical, read your PM's.

[gr42178]

Too much Iso talk here, do that in a PM so you dont piss the mods off :p

I am surprised they havent said anything yet....

[Pedal Bike Pete]

legend.... total legend... thnks

[tsurumaru]

Actually you are wrong; the PRXs (which contains the PS Emulator) can be decrypted and rewritten... No need for source...

If this WAS the case with PRXs, there would be NO custom firmware.

I stand corrected then. If you can decrypt and rewrite POPS then why hasn't this already been done? I would have thought I would have seen somewhere that someone was taking this on. Is it to do with the legal implications of rewriting the SONY code or is it to do with the complexity of the reverse engineering involved?
Also if as presumed POPS is an implementation of the Connectix PSOne emulator is there the possibility of a future version non official version with greater compatibility?

[F9zDark]

I was kinda hoping it would have been fixed by now, since I feel that getting POPs working completely is better than AVC movies at full res.

Unless there are other roadblocks in the way preventing DA from fixing these things.

[Mc_Logical]

Mc_Logical, read your PM's. thx i did try that use no umd - disabled ive tried it enabled and disabled and it still doesnt work oh! well and on advanced settings plain modules in umd iso enabled yep use no isofs driver etc - enabled and disabled still doesnt work fuk this im out of this forum it clearly shows by ppls ammount of posts they do they must come to this site most damn nights and have no life lol peace

[Shrygue]

Ah good... an update to Dark_Alex's custom firmware 3.03 OE. I'll get this now....

[jim80b]

can anyone confirm the gameboot redirect to MS works?

[Mr. Shizzy]

People: Let's stop with the nonsense. STAY ON TOPIC. This thread is about DarK_Alex's 3.03 OE custom firmware. And nothing else...


Anyway, Once again, much thanks to DarK_AleX. The scene owes him everything at this point.

[NightRaven]

Thanks much for the updates Dark_AleX! People will be singing praises and saying your name for a long time to come!

Im now fully updated to OE-C :p

[krazyx86]

Sorry to be a noob, but how do I install this? I'm runnin 3.03 OE-B, and I can read instrustions correctly, but I can't seem to find 303.pbp. Other then that I think I'm doing everything ok, so if anyone can help, twould be appreciated! :p

[Shrygue]

You have to get the official 3.03 update which you rename to 303.PBP from EBOOT.PBP. You can that here (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/958).

[krazyx86]

I kinda figured it was something simple like that, but I had to be sure.. Thanks YKB.

[Shrygue]

No problem. :)

[krazyx86]

One more dumb question.. How exactly do I get my PSP to run at 333? I saw somewhere in this thread that you need to be in recovery mode? WTF is a recovery mode!? :p I'm completly new to the DA FW updates, since I came straight from a 1.5 PSP.

[MrMojo]

Mc_Logical, you may want to read your PM again, I just posted over. HTH

[Shrygue]

In the recovery mode, select the CPU speed option and chose whitch speed you want.

[krazyx86]

In the recovery mode, select the CPU speed option and chose whitch speed you want.

How do I get to the recovery mode?

[Shrygue]

To access the recovery mode, hold the R sholder button as you turn on your PSP.

[tophead420]

nice I just downgraded a friends 2.6 last night, Then upped it to 3.03 OE-B. Looks like imma have to tell him to stop by the house so i can up it to OE-C lol. Well thanks alot Dark Alex you are great a what you do man keep it up i hope to see more custom firmware. now im off to up my psp

[krazyx86]

TY again sir, you have been very helpful.

[MrMojo]

How do I get to the recovery mode?

1. completely shut the PSP off, by holding the power switch UP for more than 5 seconds
2. press the R button (and keep it pressed) while switching the PSP back on

you should enter the recovery menu within 3/4 seconds. Unless you are on an original firmware... this only applies to custom ones...

HTH

[krazyx86]

Woo, it worked, thanks again. So does setting it to 333 in the XMB speed up anything other then the XMB? Such as hombrew and the like?

[Shrygue]

As far as I know, it speeds up the loading of UMD games. Not too sure about homebrew applications on the memory card. By the way, CPU speed in the XMB stays at 222mHz.

[krazyx86]

So setting ti to 333 doesn't actually change it?

[Shrygue]

Not in the XMB. I think the reason is if you tried to use the Wi-Fi feature there, it wouldn't work. It has effect playing UMD titles. Again, I'm not sure about homebrew programs on the memory stick but it could work on those.

[acn010]

wtf! already!
i havent even tried OEB! lol
thanks

[tophead420]

has anyone tryed the usb flash out yet i wanna know how it works im still makeing my oe-c update, o nvm it just finished so imma flash this real fast but ye id like to know how good it works

[Mc_Logical]

Woo, it worked, thanks again. So does setting it to 333 in the XMB speed up anything other then the XMB? Such as hombrew and the like?theres now two cpu settings, one for psp iso`s and the other for xmb not for homebrew etc and btw browse through your settings in recovery mode
configuration -->
Skip SCE logo (currently : Enabled if u want lol

Hide corrupt icons : Enabled so w/e folders u put in GAME150 the corrupt ones wont show up

Game folder homebrew 1.50 kernal)

Use no umd disabled) the rest u can see what they do

back

Advanced --> Advanced configuration

plain modules in umd/iso enabled

the others disabled

i was bored of tv i felt like forum browsing lol

[Baboon]

I just did a sucessful update! :)

I'm chuffed cause my prince of persia blood splat still works with Gameboot Redirector v1.0. :)

[mikebeaver]

This is sweet, i upgraded to this earlier, have just been playing around with some of the new features, thanks DA, Mathieulh, harley G and the rest of the guys who work and test this out, keep up the good work :)

Mc_logical, note this if you didn't know: PSP ISO talk is not allowed as it's aginst the forum rules.

[SnoopKatt]

Very nice, full speed wifi :D

[baracki96]

Allright right, just got home and this is what I find:eek: Once again DA has impressed with an excellent update to the OE firmware. SONY need note the fine details of the work of art that is 3.03oe-c.

[Accordion]

dont know if anyone has noticed, but WPA wi-fi protection now works fully

it took me 3 tries to connect first go... but now it works all the time

thankyou DA !!!!!!

[imagecko]

WOW THAT WAS FAST

Love the custom firmwares

all i want now is a save state saver in pops and that would pretty cooll

[DarthPaul]

Oh God!! I just installed it and noticed all the new features! this rocks! now let's wait for the new X-Flash.

[F9zDark]

333mhz in XMB seems to increase the overall speed of Remote Play and some intensive visualizers when watching music; haven't tried with homebrew.

Didn't notice a difference with MGS:PO (which has barely any load times as it is...)

[blackrave]

Boot speed is much, much faster. So are games using 333 MHz and even with WiFi.

This is another superb release from DAX. He's a genius.

[Veskgar]

Just successfully upgraded. The whole process was quick and easy. I don't get why there are so many easy installers. Its more fun to manually do it.

Yet again, I am very impressed. You constantly think things can't possibly get much better but yet we are continually surprised by the excellent work of Dark_AleX and the rest of the dax.lan team!

PSP homebrew has never been better!

[Tetris999]

If you need help ask me im also on msn sometimes so add me if you want 2

i help everybody and ive been doing that for a long time, just pm me and ill get you as fast as i can

[jason_ford]

Thanks! DA is my hero..

[firedragon_jing]

The update is good, but I don't see much of a real reason to jump on the update. The speed increase is nice, and maybe I don't fully understand the new POPStation improvements, but other than those, there is nothing truly huge about this update. Sure there is direct Flash USB connection, but this is more dangerous than anything, I rather use a program that is safer like X-Flash to do Flash writing.

The Other ones had much bigger advancements with the POPStation support and compression, but this one doesn't have a huge breakthrough...

3.02 OE-A - 3.02 hacked firmware with homebrew/ISO support, with POPStation protection removed
3.02 OE-B - hacked POPStation with ripped/converted game support
3.03 OE-A(') - latest 3.03 Sony firmware hacked with homebrew/ISO support, with compressed POPStation game support
3.03 OE-B - Full resolution AVC support
3.03 OE-C - you get the point

I just don't see this one comparing upto the other releases, and for it needing a full install instead of just an update is a little less inviting, because now I have to reapply all my cosmetic mods and yes it will be easier now with Flash USP support, but Flash writing can be dangerous, and direct writing has a greater increase of risk. And there is still no DAX support which I find kinda ironic...

Agree with me, disagree with me, hate me, I don't care. Just felt like getting this out there.

.....J/k I completely agree with the usb/flash thing in that xflash is safer, but I you ever bricked your psp then I suppose it could do wonders.

[sitexec]

ohh you guys want to know how to disc swap? well in FF7 i was able to by doing this.....

PSX2PSP v.0.7.1 too change the game id. Very Simpel
Start Psx2psp -> Choose eboot.pbp from disk 2
Choose Output -> Press Convert
Done!
Copy over the old one and play like hell!!
Have fun

This works on Disc 2 -> Disc3 too

keys file didnt matter, i just copied the same key .bin file and the new eboot over and loaded my save at the end of disc 1, it worked again at the end of disc two, beat FF7 in ~35 hours =] mobile rpg is great =]

[shadowprophet]

Now autobooting homebrew like irshell doesnt work for me. Anyone else having this same problem with this update?

For a little bit. I thought it was just a bad install on mine somehow. Im glad to see im not the only one with this problem. Im certain dark alex will have a fix for this in no time :thumbup:

Yes, the lack of auto-boot function has set of an alarm in the psp homebrew community as it doesn't seem like something DA would miss. We are all human though and therefore make mistakes, and with all the features DA churns out it's amazing he has the ability to keep everything as functional as it is. heres to hope of OE-C2, but if not no one is complaining:cool:

[krazyx86]

To be honest, coming from a straight 1.5 PSP, to 3.03 OE-A was a HUGGGGEEE upgrade. Then shortly after, 3.03 OE-B came out, I upgraded, and again was impressed by the HUGGGGEEE updates. Then again, even shorter after that, 3.03 OE-C came out, and OMGWTFBBQ I'm still impressed.. If some people are complaining or "not impressed" or w/e, then it's simple, you're spoiled. Appreciate what DA has, and is continuing to do for the community. I know I do.

[Jormugand]

Question, im currently at 3.03 OE B Will my Save files be harmed in any which way?

[F9zDark]

So... Anyone else getting corrupt data when trying to play Resident Evil? MGS seems fine, but RE displays a corrupt icon on the XMB...

Whats the deal?

Edit: NVM got it...

[The_It]

if I have 3.03 oe-a, do I need to upgrade to oe-b before I can upgrade to oe-c?

[NoQuarter]

Nice work! I just upgraded my 1.5 to 3.03OE-B yesterday,guess it's time to do it again.

[froggie22]

i think ill wait till xflash is updated before i update..

[Broadus]

Who cares, Froggie?
Naw, I'm just messin', you're all right.

3.03 OE-C will no longer play my BOOT eboot (the thing that plays when the PSP starts up from a full shutdown).

[Baboon]

Question, im currently at 3.03 OE B Will my Save files be harmed in any which way?

Nope, no worries, everything will be ok. All my Save data (including my ps1 games) work just fine. :D


if I have 3.03 oe-a, do I need to upgrade to oe-b before I can upgrade to oe-c?

No You dont need to go to 303oeb first, you can upgrade straight from 303oea. :thumbup:

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Ahh, I'm sticking with 3.03a2 still. Can't be arsed to upgrade until a feature that I will use is released....like a way of drastically reducing PS1 game sizes without losing stuff like FMVs etc. Wonder if that's possible.....keep it up tho DA

[azidahaka]

so do i.... saga frontier seems works only in 3.02... and people that have updates said that the compatibility of psx games was lower.... so i'll be waiting for some time...

[Uruz 6]

Say guys, I'm currently on 3.02 OE - B, can I update directly to 3.03 OE - C? anything I need to do before?

[razorak]

just a question but by


* Added access to flash 0 and 1 via usb in the recovery menu, based on the great idea of USBSSS by Booster. Note that writing is enabled, so this is intended only for advanced users that know what they are doing in each moment.(It is not a great idea to change anything from the kd folder). Because of this addition, the rest of flashing options were removed.


Does this mean that we can 'unbrick' our psps via the PC if we have a custom firmware dump?

edit: And i'll ditto Uruz's question as well, it does after all say
Both, update maker and the flasher work in 1.50, 2.71 SE (whatever version), and 3.02/3.03 OE (whatever version) in the readme...hmmm i think it does mean that we can use it directly...

[kiore]

Awesome.

[M Dash]

Great News! :)

*updating*

[woz77]

DarkAlex continues to rock the pspworld! Thank you!

[Cloudhunter]

I'm sure the bug will be fixed by Dark_AleX, and CIntro will be supported by kando soon enough :) CIntro isn't worth downgrading for though.

Cloudy

[MrMojo]

Does this mean that we can 'unbrick' our psps via the PC if we have a custom firmware dump?

depends on the brick... as the usb module for letting u see the flash from a usb-remoted PC is something required to be running on the PSP; and if it is completely bricked (i.e. nothing can be read from the flash) you have no way to do anything... isn't it that obvious?

[Cloudhunter]

Well really:

If you have recovery mode, then you can unbrick, and pretty easily.

Cloudy

[MrMojo]

Well really:

If you have recovery mode, then you can unbrick, and pretty easily.

Cloudy

If it was a quote to mine, then the same applies: recovery mode _IS_ a program running on the PSP, read from the flash0 memory, so if you have it screwed up, you won't have any recovery as well...

Cheers, A.

i dont think i will update from oe-b is it really worth it

I think its worth it for the boot up speed increase and the XMB speed increase.

[hmong]

Wassup! It's been a couple of weeks since I've been away from the PSP Scene because of school and PS3. This upgrade looks awesome.
I was wondering, Does it work the same as upgrading to 3.02oe-b? Example: Extract v1.5 & v3.03 and get DXAR or whatever, upgrade to 3.03oea,oe-b, and then oe-c or could i just skip a step?
Thanks for the help!
Peace!

I'll answer this because of the quality Discworld reference :)

You don't need a modchip. Find the thread discussing the 3.03 Downgrader, and follow the instructions. It will show you how to downgrade your PSP to firmware version 1.5. Then you can install Dark_Alex's 3.03 OE-C custom firmware and get your homebrew on!

I get that too. Apparently with some memory sticks it can take longer than with others. Mine can take up to 45 minutes, but I haven't had a problem yet, apart from the time it takes.

[jurkevicz]

Quick question! I know it is off-topic but has anyone tried that CDgens program (I got it from pspupdates) it is supposed to shrink the iso to a much smaller size, but in my case it makes it bigger. Has anyone had any success with this program? PSX isos that I own.

[GoP-Demon]

does anyone know why now that I have 3.03 oe I can't run Fastloader 0.7? The psp reads it as corrupt data.

Also my bleach game always stays at the loading screen when I run it -.-

Also anyone know where to put my videos?

[Hiei311]

how do i run homebrew on it?

[Suba82]

HEYYYY!!! This is so cool!!!!!!! I have 303 oec now and it so perfect.... wireless is awesome!!!
But..... I have a question.

How can I play with psx game? I have a EBOOT.PBP and a KEYS.BIN. Where do I put those two files? In which folder? Do I need an emulator homebrew or its in OEC already?

Thank u so much guys and thanx DAX!!!!!

[Shrygue]

Suba82, you put those two files in the EBOOT.PBP associating game folder, like SLUS 01541 or other. By the way, 3.10 OE-A is now available to download.

[Suba82]

Thanx for your help but I dont know where I can find the name of the folder cause the 2 files were in a normal folder. :( How can I discover the name of that folder? ANd then where I put it? In GAME? thanx!

[Shrygue]

What's the name of the PSX game?

[Suba82]

ridge racer 1 and rc helicopter

[Shrygue]

Right then, create a folder called SCUS94300 and put the Ridge Racer EBOOT in there. For RC Helicopter, make a folder named SLUS01376 and put that EBOOT in there. Add the KEYS.BIN file in each PSX game folder. Afterwards, put the folders in the PSP\GAME folder on your memory stick.

[Suba82]

wow thanx for searching the name of the folders... so
Ridge racer
psp\game\SCUS94300\ EBOOT.PBP (the ridge racer one)
psp\game\SCUS94300\ KEYS.BIN (the ridge racer one)
RCH
psp\game\SLUS01376\EBOOT.PBP (the rch one)
psp\games\SLUS01376\ KEYS.BIN (the rch one)

Is it correct? SOrry but my english is sooo bad

thanx a lot

m8 u are so kind very helpfull thank you very much!cheers

[Shrygue]

Hey, no problem. :)

[red_sox32]

do i need to unflash or uninstall devhook before updating?

[Shrygue]

I would say it's safer to unflash any Device Hook files before moving on up to the custom firmware, just in case brickage occurs while updating.

hi I've just managed to downgrade to 1.5 from 2.81 using GTA.

I've downloaded Dark Alex's 3.03 oec onto my pc
here are the instructions

"The instructions are as always:

- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to /PSP/GAME150 if you are in
2.71 SE, 3.02 OE or 3.03 OE. Copy also the 1.50 and 3.03 updaters with the names 150.PBP and 303.PBP."


The thing is I can't find the the last part where I need to copy 1.50 and 3.03 updaters 150.pbp and 303 pbp? They are not there.

Thanks for the help.

[Shrygue]

You have to get the 1.50 and 3.03 updaters yourself, whitch you can both find right HERE (http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/36).

[sillypig]

thank you very much silly me.

[Shrygue]

Hey, no problem at all. :)

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

I found this early today i'm gonna give it a shot i will post again when i'm done

Update...

Worked fine now at 303

DOes anyone know how to customize the font for 303

[Diplomat223]

THis looks nice.

Can I upgrade it with my PSP. It's a 1.5 FW that used to be TA-082 and has .46 Devhook.

[red_sox32]

@ wasting thedawn, used it and it was a success. now 3.03 oe-c. I advise using that easy installer unless you like doing it manuelly.

and @ diplo, waht do you mean used to be ta-082?

[sillypig]

I've just updated to 3.03 oe-c and I want to know if I can erare the oeupdmakers and 303oe flasher files in my psp game folder

Also do I put ISO's in the memory cards ROOT?

[Shrygue]

sillypig, you can not discuss about ISOs or CSOs as it's against the forum rules. Don't run the risk of getting banned.

As for the setup maker and flasher folders, you can delete them if you have already upgraded to version 3.03 OE-C.

[sillypig]

sorry didn't know but can I delete the oeupdmaker and 303oeflasher files on my psp?

[Shrygue]

If you have 3.03 OE-C now, you can delete the oeupdmaker and 303oeflasher folders to free up memory stick space.

[sillypig]

thank you

[Shrygue]

Your welcome. :)

[Apoklepz]

Anybody having WiFi problems with Metal Gear Portabler Ops? I can't join any hosted battles or even Create them....never again!!!!! Since I upgraded from 3.02 OE-B.

I really need help...I can't even play online anymore and this is pissing me off. Ikeep getting this error:

80410702....could not create game.

and later when I try again this one shows up, over and over:

An internal error has occurred.(80410B02)

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've already flashed back to SONY 1.50 and re-updated to 3.03 OE-C and the prblem persists.

Just so you guys know, I tried scanning to find new recruits and it works just fine...the PSP's internet browser works fine, too....I'm really clueless and dumbfounded here as to what has happened.

[Shrygue]

Did you change your CPU speed in the recovery menu?

[Apoklepz]

That's the thing...all settings are default!
No hiding Icons, No overclocking...Nothing!...and it's giving me those stupid errors.

[Shrygue]

I frankly can't see how this could happen. :confused:

[Apoklepz]

Yep...I'm bedazzled as well. Everything WiFi is supposed to work with this update, huh?

Do you own the game? Haven't you had these problems?

I think I might just try reflashing to 1.50 once again and back, and pray to the lord to make it work...altough it might not happen.

[Shrygue]

I don't have the game but someone else I know has this similar problem (he's on custom firmware 3.03 OE-C). We both have the game Coded Arms. I can run it with the Wi-Fi multiplayer, but not him - very strange.

[Apoklepz]

Ok, I'm gonna run recovery to 1.50 SONY right now and back to 3.03 OE-C I'll post right here when I'm done.

[Shrygue]

Okay then, good luck and make sure you reset to the default settings when you get to 3.03 OE-C.

[Apoklepz]

Will do...is there any way to bypass the 75% Battery check on the recovery, like if you press L+triangle when updating custom firmwares? My PSP is at 54% right now.

Oh well...I guess I'll go eat and get back to it.

[Shrygue]

Not as far as I know. You could try and see if the L + triangle button trick works. If it doesn't, you'll just have to charge up your battery first before downgrading.

[Apoklepz]

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Problem persists...I am so ****ing angry right now.
I think I'm never gonna flash my PSP again.

There goes MGS online and many hours of fun. SHit


--- EDIT---

Well, it seems I can still play Online without a problem, but I can't go head to head Adhoc with my buddy. So the WiFi problem is with the Adhoc...and yeah, we tried using all different channels available in the Network Settings last night and nothing ever changed on my PSP.

If my friend tries to host a deadmatch on his PSP, his game will start and have Snake running around with nobody else there to battle...what we call "Wait Mode". My PSP can't even get to that point.

Today I had the brilliant idea of maybe borrowing his copy of the game to see if the problem lies in my UMD...after all it was a pre-order & I've had problems with pre-ordered games once already.(can't believe I didn't think about this last night)

I can't think of anything to do. Suggestions?

[sillypig]

Sorry for being an idiot I have 3.03 oe-c but I don't see how and where to play soul blade which is on my mem stick.

[Diplomat223]

What I mean is

I bought a TA-082 PSP with 2.71 Firmware.
Then I Downgraded to 1.5 Firmware. Does this mean it's still a TA-082?

Then I installed .46 Devhook for 2.71 emulation. It's nice, but I want to upgrade to this custom firmware and I don't know how.

I need to know how to properly get rid of Devhook without bricking my PSP. Then im going to get the custom firmware.

Help would be appreciated.

[Shrygue]

Diplomat223, you PSP still is a TA-082 wheather it's been downgraded or not.

To upgrade to the custom firmware, just read the instructions in the readme document supplied in the zip package.

For removing Device Hook, just remove the files from your memory stick. If you flashed Devhook files to flash0, they should be removed first before upgrading to the custom firmware to avoid any chances of bricking.

[LAMPRO]

:confused: sorry for dp. wrong thread.

I just made the leap to 303oec.:cool:

Can someone help me out with the GAME, GAME150, and GAME 303 folders - in 3.03OE-C - pleze?

On the 1.50, they all worked great, I hid icons and organized using pspsort - over 20 homebrew items. all butter.

When I put some in the GAME150 folder on the 303oec, some wont work, some show currupt icons even after changing the folder names, and some are perfect. I set them all up like XYZZ_ and XYZZ_%.

Ive been to BOOT holding R and enabled hide corrupt icons, and even toggled 303kernal and 150 kernal, but i dont know which will make it work.. they didnt change when i toggled.

i wish i could use pspsort and make it work again, put it all in order and hide the corrupts.. how do i do?


anyone with some tips for homebrew for CF?? D_A?

Thank you. Today im going to try to upgrade to 3.03 OE-C or get .50 Devhook, but I got some more questions.

- Can I still run homebrew on Custom Firmware (Ex: SNES Emulator, DOOM, MArio?)
-Which one is better, Devhook .50 or custom firmware?

[blaz3d]

diplomat custom firmwares are the way forward, all the features of 1.50 mixed with all the features of 3.xx like the hacked ps1 emulator (which devhook doesnt have) and running up-to-date UMD's

remember though the latest firmware by DAX is 3.10oe.

so no more questions:p, install it, love it

I wish I can but I have a few more questions.

Can I do this all in a TA-082 PSP?
WHen I delete Devhook, do I do it through my PSP? (Game/memorystick/Devhook Emulator/Delete) Or my Computer?

Im sorry if I seem annoying some some of you vetrans, but I just want to play it safe and get the firmware.

[blaz3d]

although TA-082 has some storage ID's that block using the lower firmwares, once downgraded upgrading to custom FW is fine!

delete the DH folder in root of memory stick from comp and delete the 2 devhook folders in psp/game

once upgraded to 3.10oe i'd format your memory stick from your psp, because that puts all the folders you need in the right place

Alright, but your saying I can never return to 1.5 without Downgrading because I have TA-082?

BTW, im going to start the upgrade now. Thank you, seriously:D

[blaz3d]

if you ever want to return to 1.50 i'd recomend using one of dax's downgraders to return to the firmware you had before you downgraded to 1.50 just to be safe.

np for the help always happy, just dont rush anything and dont brick your psp man!

[xxcolbyxx]

I have some playing issues with some of my PS1 games: FF 8 and Chrono Cross.

In FF8, it sometimes freezes whenever i get into boss fights. Does anyone else have this problem?

In Chrono Cross, sometimes during menu selections or enter/leaving towns, the screen goes completely black and i can no longer play it, forcing me to restart.

Does anyone else have these problems with these two games? Should i install the new 3.10 oe?

[froggie22]

i have 3.03 OE-C and my psx games work fine but any homebrew i try and run it just plays the gameboot and then freezes on me and turns off.. its al in the 150game folder. i have been using this since it came out and it has worked all the time but it just randomly happend today.. i tried reflashing OE-C but it still has the same problem.. i dont wanna upgrade to 3.10 OE yet till the topmenu is fixed so i can use my icons. any idea on whats happening with it??

EDIT: all fixed now. when it wouldnt work i continuously checked to see if any plugins were turned on but it kept saying that they were all disabled and i checked other settings. after formatting the memory stick and putting things back on, reflashing a few times, restoring defalt settings a few times i was really pissd off so i just put it on charge and left it for the day. i came back to it later to try. still didnt work, checked the plugins again and it said my screen capture plugin was still enabled =S (which it said was disabled before). i turned it off and everything worked fine

[monkvash]

ok um im upgrading my second psp 2 3.03 oec from 1.5 and it is taking forever at the extracting and packing 3.03 firmware step i mean like atleast a hour so far ne ideas why?

[Shrygue]

Maybe you have a dodgy memory stick whitch results in slower data writing speeds? I once had a rubbish 32MB one and it took absolute ages to generate the DATA.DXAR file (and I eventually binned it seeing it wasn't very good).

[spanishnugz]

How do I got from a TA-082 3.02 OE-B to a TA-082 3.03 OE-C?

[Shrygue]

Spanishnugz, you can upgrade straight to 3.03 OE-C from 3.02 OE-B. Just download the custom firmware package from the very first post (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=50596) of this thread and make you read the readme document contained in the zip archive.

[Diplomat223]

GOOD NEWS!
I successfully upgraded...

BAD NEWS...
To 3.10 OE-A....
There is no Popstation....
How do I get it?

[Shrygue]

Diplomat223, if popstation isn't included in the 3.10 OE-A package, get it from the 3.03 OE-C one right HERE (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=50596).

I see, is there a guide out there to install and use it properly. Im going to google it right now, but I just want to be sure.

Sorry for the numerous questions.

[tsortore]

alright so i updated and now im at 3.11..what the hell should i do to revert.. i heard of a 3.11 firmware dumper. would that take it off..

also do i have to go all the way back to 1.5 then all the way back up to 3.1 oe c

thanks

also, if i have the writing on my motherboard on the top right of it when i open my UMD slot, does that mean i can downgrade or can't?
