3.10 Open Edition Rev A ! - Supports Latest Firmware

[gunntims0103]

New Release of the Custom Firmware from Dark ALex (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=1008239) which supports the Latest Sony 3.10 Firmware, Region Free UMD Movie Playback, Most Homebrew and also the Full Speed Playstation Emulator (Compatibility List) (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47123)

Since it is the first release, it can only be installed as a full installation.

Instructions are as always, oeupdmaker to create the dxar from 150.PBP and 310.PBP, and 310oeflasher
to install the firmware from the dxar previously generated.

Although, it is obvious, i'll say it in capital letters: DO NOT USE ANY DXAR FROM 3.03 OE, USE THE ONE
GENERATED WITH THE INCLUDED OEUPDMAKER AND SONY 1.50 AND 3.10 FIRMWARES UPDATES.

Checksums of the generated dxar:

CRC32: 58D45EDF
MD5: BF1862F73FDF4B7458279ACFF4F6DAA2
SHA1: 683AD0ABA48A7968F3172A5AB2E41CF95A476801
SHA256: 2107EC67CE7434E250FF71AF302430B3586AA4519F3405D435 94414B3C940B74

Note 1: the installer will disable all plugins to avoid incompatibilities when booting. You can
enable them again in the recovery menu.

Note 2: the plugin to load 3.02 pops won't work anymore in 3.10 OE, due to some changes in pops
modules structure (meaudio fused with popsman, idcanager/idmanager behaviour slightly changed).
A new plugin for 3.10 could be written next week.

Changes in 3.10 OE-A:

- Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10

- 4th level of brightness (aka battery eater) can now be selected also without ac adaptor.

- Changes in hen core:

* Static user elf's can now be executed in the 3.10 kernel. (this includes snes user version
between other programs)

* Tyranid's patch (added in 3.03 OE-C) consequences was not explained very well in the changelog of 3.03 OE-C:

- For programmers: it allows kernel modules to have user imports, making kernel programming
in 3.03/3.10 less strict.

- For users: plugins and applications that worked in 2.71 SE, but not in OE, *may* now work in 3.03OE-C
and 3.10 OE-A.

Nice Work Dark Alex

[Mew]

that was fast as hell! O_O
thank you!!!!

[Shrygue]

I have it now, keep up the great work Dark_Alex!

[scottyboynow]

I posted this up before gunntimms and it got deleted!!!

[wars]

Well done once again!

[xcjzerox]

I need help could someone help me please

[gunntims0103]

Il be updating to this very shortly. I haven't been converting any ps1 games after 3.03OE-B. So i might start doing so just to have them updated. I never used the "load 3.02OE pops" plugin, so i can do without that. I might get the updated version however of it just to have it. Great work Dark-Alex!

[Ol'Master]

Bloody hell that was quick, cheers Dark_AleX

Quick noob question, I can't see past the tech talk: will PSX EBoots made for 3.03OEc work with this?

[acn010]

that was really fast, thanks

[Video_freak]

Quick noob question, I can't see past the tech talk: will PSX EBoots made for 3.03OEc work with this?

Yes, they should. Awesome work Dark Alex. :)

[ryanMWolfe]

WHOA this is awasome I cant wait for the Stupid DXAR to load up so i can update!!!

Also is the Web Browser MEm leak fixed???

[ENG]

I am trying this out on my "i don't care if it gets bricked PSP" first...updating...done, all has gone successfully, on to my PSP that i actually use...updating...it worked aswell !
Although i realise you will never read this, THANKS Dark_AleX :)

EDIT : ooh a new useless icon under network called PlayStation Spot, for some reason, when i go to this new icon, i get the blue corrupt data screen, but when i turn my PSP back on the settings are still fine, strange.

[702egold]

Super fast Dark_Alex cant be stopped.

[Mr619r]

Installing now. Make sure to back up your customizations so you don't have to manually edit everything again.

[IamAbe]

YIPPEEEEE! Downloading Now!!!!

[xcjzerox]

could someone help me please

[Veskgar]

Incredible work Dark_AleX. Way to keep the legend alive. The 3.10 update by SONY was an obvious bitch slap against the homebrew scene and to have a 3.10 OE-A already certainly shows SONY that there is no putting a lid on the PSP homebrew scene.

An infinite amount of thanks goes out to everyone involved in this release.

[NightRaven]

Thanks Dark_Alex! You rock! Just got done updating with this now on 3.10OE-A. :thumbup:

Sony is just gettin annihilated lately arent they. :rofl:

[ACID]

THe Mighty DA does it again great work man.

[kelvinwu]

wow i was waiting for this ~

[Zion]

i just briked my psp :mad:

damn it anyway, knew i shouldnt have bothered updating

[g00gy]

this is great im creating the dxar

[DPyro]

Zion just bricked his psp :o

Note to users: Make sure your in 1.50 kernal

[Cokemusic]

Can some one clarify this , i'm not sure

Do I need 1.5 for this open firmware or is 2.81 or 3.1 capable of running this open firmware too ?

[xcjzerox]

Zion how did you brick you're psp
use recovery

[g00gy]

cokemusic: you need to be in 1.5 to upgrade into a custom made firmware that has 1.5 subsets

[drock82]

now that we got a new firmware a new compatibility list need to be started or when u submitt a game just put fully compatible under so and so custom firmware!!!:cool:

[Zion]

Zion how did you brick you're psp
use recovery

wish i was so lucky, it doesnt go into recovery :confused:

just turns on with a black (lit screen) and memory stick light keeps flashing

[ryanMWolfe]

Where is the Recovery Folder?? Can i use an old One?

[Cokemusic]

I was hoping this would be the oportunity.....


I have 15 PSP games and some how my umd drive got broken ( i suspect one of my friends did it ) . Anyway I needed the update so I could at least make the most of using the PSP without runnin utilising the UMD Drive

With Version 2.81 , i'm 0.01 of a firmware from were I wish I was:mad:

Thanx for the quick reply btw

[ENG]

Zion just bricked his psp :o

Note to users: Make sure your in 1.50 kernal


I wasn't in 1.50 kernel and i didn't brick my PSP, strange.

I have found out a few things, after updating, the web browser will give a corrupt settings message if you don't restore default settings.

Also the wiggly line in the visualiser looks slightly different, and now changes colour, and in PS1 games, a few new things have been added, they are zoom, brigtness settings, volume settings, and the options for controller port 1 or 2.

[xcjzerox]

zion how did you brick you're psp low of battery

[Mr. Shizzy]

Much thanks to DarK_AleX. The homebrew scene MVC (most valuable coder). :D Your custom firmware rules ! :)


Zion: Can your PSP be recovered or not?

EDIT: just read you said it couldn't. Sh!t. That sucks. What went wrong bro?

[DeleterX]

Once again DA owns sony :D :rofl:

[IamAbe]

INSTALLED! Great Work Dark_AleX!!!

[HomerSp]

Hmm... My topmenu_plugin.rco from 3.03 OE-C (edited and unpacked/decrypted) doesn't want to work on 3.10 OE, the PSP XMB doesn't start. Anyone else with the same problem?

[Shrygue]

I was hoping this is the Part where dark alex sais , "no worries i've just release a 3.1 and 2.8 downgrader "

Cokemusic, you can upgrade to version 3.03 and downgrade to 1.50 from there. Then you can update to custom firmware 3.10 OE-A. However you will need an unpatched UMD of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories to downgrade.

[red_sox32]

i don't see any need to go from 3.03 oe to this.

[xcjzerox]

Thank alot Vision for you're easy updater
I now a proud 3.10 oa owner

[Zion]

zion how did you brick you're psp low of battery


nope :confused:

SN1per i have the same problem??? lemme no if you fix it

[gunntims0103]

I updated 2 psp's to this custom firmware. It works great.

BTW zion, you can recover two ways if your psp is still able to go to the recovery menu.

Check this thread

Il tell you the other way if that way does not work

Cokemusic's UMD drive doesn't work, so GTA:LCS can't run.

[Shrygue]

Point taken.

[Cokemusic]

My psp's basicly disabled.

Is it probable that Alex will release a non-Umd downgrader for any 3.0 + firmwares . it apears he's always up for a challenge.

I was messing with stuff and Was wonderign if somoen could make a backup of Flash0 and email to [email protected] did you erase your flash 0 or something? If you did you can't just flash someone else's and expect it to work. Can you even get into the recovery menu (i doubt you can) then you could just downgrade but you can't just write someone else's flash 0.

[Broadus]

That was fast!

That's only if another kernel access exploit is found. At the moment, there's no GTA-less downgrader.

3.10 popstation... changelog and PAL Compatibility

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new version of the official emulator plays pretty the same on the few games that i throwed in... and it still doesn't play Brave Fencer Musashi
But there is something new.

1) Added gamma boost, two levels
2) Added volume boost, two levels
3) Added another zoom mode!
4) Added joypad port selection... maybe they are going to release metal gears solid

Please report if you find something new.

New findings on PAL games untouched (no fixes, i.e. PALadin):

Alundra 2 PAL: Runs Perfect (the screen looks like off-centered, you can adjust it inside the menu options)
Sheed Dog 'n Wolf: Runs perfect
Parappa the rapper: No glitches, music de-synced, unplayable
Resident evil 3: No more glitches on fire, runs perfect until now
Final Fantasy VIII: Some texture problems, still crashes.

I think I'll be waiting until the XMB Custom Icon Packager is updated to work with 3.10. I love my custom XMB, and this new firmware doesn't offer any amazing improvements over 3.03 OE-C. Nevertheless, this is great work. Thanks Dark_Alex!

[porchemasi]

Niceeeeee workkkkk all we need now is a perfect X-FLASH + WiFi FTP Connect

[Accordion]

zions brick has me worried...

no rush to update yet i suppose

@zion: do you know what went wrong?

[Equin0x]

Updated just fine, now running 3.10OE-A :thumbup:

One of the PSX games I had before seems to be running worse now than before the upgrade, it used to have some graphical glitches but it was playable, I would not call it that now :(

The other PSX game I have on my MS is still running fine with no changes at all

[Zion]

i wasnt really watching the screen while i started flashing but remember itstopping before flashing 1.50 subset then it reset to the xmb

i restarted my psp (with no joy) briked?

wtf

[xcjzerox]

you're psp is not brick is just corrupted Data does all ..just ask my friendXG917 or acn010 he probobly knows something

[gr42178]

in PS1 games, a few new things have been added, they are zoom, brigtness settings, volume settings, and the options for controller port 1 or 2.

Did they fix the glitches in FF7? would like to upgrade but dont want to lose the 3.02 pops.

[SaGe3k]

This is awesome.. hopefully there will be an easy installer created soon. (I kinda bricked my last PSP trying up upgrade to 3.03OE-C) THANK YOU FOR THE RECOVERY MENU!!

But when the easy installer is out I will definately upgrade!! AGAIN.. Dark_AleX ROCKS!!

[xcjzerox]

There is
vision made one and it works

[Lt-Razorworks]

First came god...then came chuck norris...then came Dark Alex.

Ye true that. If i cant use my XMBtheme I'll just wait I may give this a try though. But thats alot of work i have to do installing my font gameboot top menu and all that

[Solidsnake3000]

i dont thinkiam gonna update to thisone yest and does any one know if there is a snes emulator that is running at full speed or a genises and i was wondering is there some kind of hack that lets u transfer your files to another psp i have freinds who want videos or music i have and hate going to the computor to give it to them and hate letting each other hold memory cards and if yes can this be done without wifi conection just like sending pictures?http://www.heathersanimations.com/dbz/gif3.gif

[Hiei311]

Great work! I just updated! I'm sorry for zion though...:( Anyways if anyone needs help installing 3.10OE-A just contact me via PM, Email, or Instant Message for help. I don't mind helping people who arn't sure how to do this or don't want to have a brick. :cool: cya

[kelvinwu]

hey zion ... is your psp still brick ?

[Kvonx]

great job!!!!

[ryanMWolfe]

Can someone get USBhost to work with this???

[Camelot]

It didnt say anything about coldboot, do you think he fixed it?

[camcorderdoctor]

Worked great for me - 3.03oe-c to 3.10oe-a - Thanks Dark Alex - you are truely a god!

currently playing ff7 and ff9 - no swirl into battle in ff7 but sub menu flickering during battle mode seems to have stopped
FF9 is ok

[zx-81]

Keep up the good work DA !

@Zion: I feel really sorry for what happened to your psp

[killadrilla]

hey i am a noob at this homebrew thing - i just upgraded to 3.10, and not sure what to do now. I want to play my ripped ps1 and psp games from the memory stick, but not sure how to do everything. I'm also confused about why I need the 1.5 firmware if 3.10 is already working

someone help me - [email protected]

[teh_ultimate1138]

OK guys, I have 3.02 OE-B on mine without a recovery mode. (Yes, that's 3.02 OE-B, NOT 3.03 OE-B.) Is it possible to create a recovery folder with 3.10 OE-A and then update to the new Custom Firmware (3.10 OE-A)? if someone could help, it would be much appriciated. i do not want to brick!

[Mr. Shizzy]

It didnt say anything about coldboot, do you think he fixed it?

I can confirm that C-Intro does NOT work on 3.10 OE-A. :(

Other than that everything works great. Plus remeber POPs is improved, and it even supports most PAL games now. :D

[Xs!mX]

there is a god indeed

[PSP 101]

ok you upgraded to the SONY 3.10 right? ok. as of now you cannot run homebrew on your PSP. this includes your ripped ps1 games. you can only hope for a downgrader to downgrade (lower your version) your PSP. it is very important to not upgrade your PSP to SONY updates if you want homebrew capabilities. sorry to put it so bluntly.:(

if you are in 3.10 and not 3.10oe-a then your screwed for now - till they come out with a downgrader - but if you have 3.10oe-a then rip your games with alcohol 120 (or a proggy that can make images) and use ice tea to convert images to eboots

[mike_jmg]

camcorderdoctor: Are you saying FF7 works on 3.10 OE-A
wich version of pops did you used?

[bails]

KillaDrilla, if you've just bought your PSP recently, take it back to the shop for a refund asap.

Hopefully you'll get a 3.03 or lower as a replacement. (Say its got a load of dead pixels or something.)

Otherwise you're goosed.

Alway read around before doing anything. To just upgrade without doing you're homework first is just stupid!!!

Good luck.

[blackrave]

Yay, finally! I've been looking very often this week waiting for this release and it was very fast. Superb job. Although the features aren't that many in 3.10, it just feels good to be updated, and the ability to use the 4th brightness without AC adapter or plugins is great.

Thanks, and great job, DAX!

[camcorderdoctor]

camcorderdoctor: Are you saying FF7 works on 3.10 OE-A
wich version of pops did you used?
I used ice tea to make eboots then copied the game over and played - yes it work very well

[kelvinwu]

i tried using recovery
3.10oe-c to 1.50 then back 3.03oe-c => 3.10oe-a
it works fine to me :)
just remember to get your bettery to 75% above.
For savety ... when you get 75% . Take out the umd from the psp and charge your psp while upgrading your firmware .

[cupid]

Setting the wallpaper without it going to a black screen is still to be resolved.

[SSaxdude]

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this already, but the 3.10 OE-A Popstation has some nice additions and PAL is supposed to work correctly now.

[Shrygue]

cupid, maybe try resetting to default settings?

[xcjzerox]

hey why doesn't top menu work
like a custom top menu

[cupid]

cupid, maybe try resetting to default settings?

I did that but not, it still goes to a black screen wallpaper.

So you don't have that problem then?

[Shrygue]

I don't have a problem here, my wallpaper displays fine.

[ryanMWolfe]

Cupid i dont have that problem maybe you have a theme on your psp that might be the problem?

[cupid]

I remember a couple of other people with this problem?

I think next time I will go back to a clean 1.50 PSP before updating.

Thanks for your help guys.

[de.silva89]

This is fantastic! Another great release by Dark_Alex, has anyone else noticed that when you play music with the "scope" style visualiser that it now changes colours! Wow!

[Aj_Phoenix]

Great release Dark Alex! :) The only thing is region free is still not working. I have a jap psp and a usa movie National Treasure and a USA sampler disk. I remeber back when 3.03OEB i think was releade my sampler disk finally showed the video and audio icon but national treasure never worked. ever since then ive tried a lot of comobos to get it working and the icons have never showed so if nn e one noes why please tell!

[scarph]

o i see what sony has done

my symphony of the night has a lot of graphical issues now, it never did before.

I hate them.....

[killadrilla]

ok you upgraded to the SONY 3.10 right? ok. as of now you cannot run homebrew on your PSP. this includes your ripped ps1 games. you can only hope for a downgrader to downgrade (lower your version) your PSP. it is very important to not upgrade your PSP to SONY updates if you want homebrew capabilities. sorry to put it so bluntly.:(

yes i got the official Sony upgrade...but still confused...what firmware do u need initially to upgrade to 3.10OE??? If and when 3.10 downgrader comes out, what would I do??

[Flatlander]

do NOT flash your topmenu_plugin.rco with 3.10.... i bricked

[camcorderdoctor]

o i see what sony has done

my symphony of the night has a lot of graphical issues now, it never did before.

I hate them.....
i have symphony of the night as well but it looks wonderful for me - crash bandicoot works also

[DCGohan]

Hmm... My topmenu_plugin.rco from 3.03 OE-C (edited and unpacked/decrypted) doesn't want to work on 3.10 OE, the PSP XMB doesn't start. Anyone else with the same problem?

Yea, I have the same problem. :mad: I want my icons back. :(

[scarph]

camcord, have you tried being the wolf and dashing

trust me
not many issues, but a few

[emuking]

best work ever Dark Alex you are god, kinda but still cool :D

[Aj_Phoenix]

has anyone got region free to work?

[DCGohan]

do NOT flash your topmenu_plugin.rco with 3.10.... i bricked

Which is why you backup stuff before you flash anything. And no, it's not bricked, it just freezes only showing the clock and battery on the xmb, then shuts down. So all you do is access flash0 through recovery, replace topmenu_plugin.rco with the original, and it's fixed.

[Camelot]

Alright so does Cintros work or not?
Edit: Nvm I see that it still doesnt, Does anyone know of a fix for it?

[buker007]

can we install it on usual 3,03 firmware?

[Apoklepz]

Hey guys, how's the Wi-Fi compatibility on this DAX firmware? I've always been getting errors on 3.03 OE-B with Metal Gear Portable ops. It used to work fine on 3.02 OE-B.

[gr42178]

Worked great for me - 3.03oe-c to 3.10oe-a - Thanks Dark Alex - you are truely a god!

currently playing ff7 and ff9 - no swirl into battle in ff7 but sub menu flickering during battle mode seems to have stopped
FF9 is ok

Thanks for the update (that no swirl thing is irritating!!!) Have you tried FF8? If so, does it still crash when you cast a spell in battle?

[Cloudhunter]

Setting the wallpaper without it going to a black screen is still to be resolved.

That is a firmware issue. It isn't Dark_Alex's issue.

If you want a wallpaper that will show straight away, then you flash it using x-flash.

Cloudy

[Lodis]

I'd be able to repair my UMD drive if I knew any reliable repair shops in london.

Someone once suggested www.psptree.co.uk but I have never used them. Might be worth investigating.

[crazy frog]

Anyone at all

[rawfodog]

PAL Games work properly with 3.10 OE-A!

I just loaded up Tekken 2 which I had ripped earlier on. I remember earlier today I played it on 3.03 OE-C and it did'nt fit the whole screen, it was a little off. But I just loaded it up now after upgrading to 3.10 OE-A and it fits perfectly

[pkmusicmaker]

once again, thanks for the speedy work.

[tophead420]

Thanks for the update (that no swirl thing is irritating!!!) Have you tried FF8? If so, does it still crash when you cast a spell in battle?
I'v never had a problem with FF8 crashing when casting magic in battle

[Bastion]

I notice that when you hit the home button know when playing a PS game, there are more options now. You can adjust volume, blackness levels, controller ports(can this be used to beat Psycho Mantis?), and also more screen option(a zoom feature). It's very nice!

man that was fast your good dark alex i just barely got done customizing my 3.03 OE-C i love your custom firmwares keep up the good work

[camcorderdoctor]

I can't verify ff8 there gr42178 - i don't have it - sorry

[Zombo]

[txiong09]

should i upgrade it? my fm is 3.03 regular not hack! should i just download this and upgrade it??? or should i download to 1.5 and do this?? help me ASAP

[Shrygue]

You should downgrade it to version 1.50 and then upgrade it to custom firmware 3.10 OE-A.

[Emeriastone]

Hooray! Thank you! I want to have your children Dark-Alex!

[txiong09]

You should downgrade it to version 1.50 and then upgrade it to custom firmware 3.10 OE-A.


aww...i need a gta to downgrade mines oh well ill just wait
:(

[txiong09]

any1 know how to downgrade 3.03 (non hack) down to 1.5 (HACK) need help ASAP!!

[g00gy]

FF9 still lags!

cant someone find a fix for this becuase whenever alot of NPC's on screen it slows down!

[Shrygue]

aww...i need a gta to downgrade mines oh well ill just wait
:(

txiong09, if you get GTA:LCS, you need to make sure it is unpatched or you can't downgrade. Unpatched UMDs will have the serial number ULES 000-151# and have the 2.00 update on it, patched ones are ULES 000-151#2 and have the 2.60 update. The serial number can be found on the disk itself.

ok thanks for the info-:)

[jimmi]

hey my ff7 screen is all displaced.. can any body hellp me out its pal version. ripped for 3.03 oe-b and worked fine for that.

[labowl]

Ill try and copy a font, pic and icons to flash using psp filer and when i try to switch my psp on it wont come on so beware people when doing this. Thank god for the recovery menu eh, wait no thank Dark-alex!

[FireStag]

Anyone else have this problem? I don't wanna update if I can't use my custom menu...
When I had 3.02oe-b and updated to 3.03oe-c my xmb just got overwritten, so i just replaced the files again and it worked. maybe that will help i don't know...

[labowl]

Whenever i try to start most of my psx games they dont work i get the message " The game could not be started data is corrupt", please help?

[Squidman]

before i update....some1 bricked their PSP with this.....lemme guess...just switch it to the 1.50 Kernel and i'll be fine?

[Shrygue]

I used the 3.03 kernel and had no problems upgrading to 3.10 OE-A. I don't think switching the kernel wouldn't make any difference other than having to put the custom firmware installer in the GAME folder instead of the GAME150 one.

[Flatlander]

Which is why you backup stuff before you flash anything. And no, it's not bricked, it just freezes only showing the clock and battery on the xmb, then shuts down. So all you do is access flash0 through recovery, replace topmenu_plugin.rco with the original, and it's fixed.

Actually, it doesnt even turn on, and wont even let me recover

[Shrygue]

If the PSP can't load the XMB and not even let you access the recovery menu, you have landed up with a brick.

[MrMojo]

could someone help me please

this is the 2nd time w/ same text...

help you for f***ing what?!?!?!

[guardiansnowman]

i have just upgraded to 3.10 OE-A and my walk through doesnt work. tht sucks. i liked everything but i need my walk through's. so im going back to 3.03 OE-C

[Scorchiolio]

Umm... How long is the oeupdmaker supposed to take?

==Edit==

Usually it doesn't take 15 minutes.

==Edit 2==
It's finished! Yay.

[Shrygue]

For me, the setup maker takes about 10 minutes to generate the DATA.DXAR file.

[arnookie]

hope you enjoy

Just a Thanks to dark alex

[Jes1FromFL]

Worked like a charm, as always! Props to DAX

[arnookie]

Thanks Dark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLdDkl9ri0Q
With thanks to you

[baracki96]

Hmm, I'm torn on whether or not to upgrade. My resons are mainly that I manually did that dummy-jpn0 to free up flash0 space, and I have heard of people bricking due to corrupt Flash0s, even on custom firmwares. Also, I currently have a cintro that is running from the memory stick, a custom XMB ( icons and font), and the Hack-slash gameboot. I really don't want to give that up, or have to re-apply it every time I upgrade a custom firmware ( which is why I'm on 3.03oe-b). Any responses would be appreciated.

[Scorchiolio]

Hmm... corrupted DXAR... Am I doing something wrong?

==Edit==

Am I supposed to move the DXAR after making it?

[arnookie]

Upgrade Its not hard to re-apply it

[baracki96]

Hmm... corrupted DXAR... Am I doing something wrong?
did you make sure you are not using the Dxar from 3.03oe?

[arnookie]

something just for whilst you upgrade

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAn2GchSOak

[Scorchiolio]

Hmm... when I did the Oeupdmaker, I had all the right eboots. The 310 OE-A Firmware update says that I have a corrupted or missing DXAR.
Am I supposed to move the DXAR after making it?

[Shrygue]

Yes you do.

[Scorchiolio]

That would be it then.

[medagh]

Can anyone confirm that upgrading to this after using the 3.03 downgrader will not mess up anything. I'm still kinda nervous about the "extra files that they will clean up".

[arnookie]

Cool Dark Alex
thanks so much

Move your dxar to 310oeflasher ...
then run it ~!
Does that solve your problem ?

[Scorchiolio]

Yup it did. Now I am happily running 3.10 OE-A

Time to check some plugins

This is how Sony look now:-

OWNED OWNED OWNED!!!!!!!

[Squidman]

you can't use a custom topmenu_plugin.rco....u get a semi-brick [[aren't they all now a days with recovery mode?]], so i guess they changed it slightly for this firmware

[Shrygue]

If a customised topmenu_plugin.rco file doesn't work in custom firmware 3.10 OE-A then it probably has been changed a bit from version 3.03.

[jon_boy_uk]

medagh: I can confirm the update works from a downgraded 3.03. I downgraded my girlfriends 3.03 to a 1.5 then 3.03 OE-C then to 3.10 OE.A. The bricking will only occur if you revert to 1.5 then try to reinstall the official firmware on top! I don't think you'll be needing to do that any time soon, so good luck!!! Oh and keep an eye out on the Noobz website for the cleaner, it shouldn't be long now.

Cheers

[wolfpack]

this might be good news with the new hacked firmwire and all, but please people enough with the spamming and double posting, you know who you are... *stares at arnookie* ....noob

[arnookie]

Sorry just so happy to be on custom firmware 3.10

[Veskgar]

Well, I have upgraded and all went well. I've been playing around with 3.10 OE-A for a while now and its great.

Why are a lot of people having to set default settings for the web browser to work? Mine worked fine without having to do that. I will be upgrading my other PSP shortly.

So many people care greatly for custom icons and stuff but that doesn't really interest me. I like having a "sleeper" PSP. It looks stock so to speak but its really tricked out under the hood.

Also, there are lots of neat added features to the pops PSX emu that make it well worth the upgrade if you do a lot of PSX gaming.

[F9zDark]

Perhaps if people flashed files that they did not revert before updating to 3.10 OE-A? I had the same issue and its the only thing I can think of. I flashed 01-12.bmp, topmenu_plugin.rco and a new font; which I restored only the .rco and font before updating, I forgot to restore the backgrounds...

Anyone know if RE2 actually works past the police station? I really do not want to try it for the 5th time...

[Zombo]

It still doesn't work.

[F9zDark]

It still doesn't work.

God dammit... :mad:

[halfway2hell]

Worked for me Thank You DAX Keep up the good work :D

[GobboFett]

I can also confirm that Final Fantasy VIII [NTSC] still crashes when casting a spell but not as often. You can cast stuff in normal battles (Scan/Fire/Thunder worked fine) but using something like Scan on Ifrit creates a mega crash. I just find it strange that this happens with spells but not with GF's...

[halfway2hell]

Lmao :d

[kiore]

good work dax

[mike_jmg]

mmmhh,
bug found,
when i delete things from the game150 folder on the psp, they´re not really deleted, I have to do it on the computer or the memory is not liberated.
happened to me since i had 3.03oe-c, i tried to delete an iso game and it was still saying memroy 11mb, when i had erased like 500mb
then i tried on the computer but i couldn't find the file so i used the format memory stick option on my psp and went back to normal
weird though

[mike_jmg]

well not just game150 folder, since iso isn't there, but also my oeupdate flasher and oeupdate maker did the same thing

[drock82]

as far i see this isnt a good upgrade from sony,the main features like improved ps1 compatibilty,better sound in music player are not even present, sony always hold back the good stuff :mad:

Just a question to you. Are you using Custom_Firmware_Extender_1.2, which lets you access the USB without clicking the "USB Connection" in the XMB? If you are, that's why the remaining size doesn't get updated. If you aren't using that, then I have no idea what happened.

[Tricky0]

alright great work DAX...but i am havin a problem. i went through the whole thread to make sure no one else did but i must have missed it.
My Internet Browser comes up as setting information corrupted...my question is do i jus press O and repair it or do i have to do anything to make it work?

[DCGohan]

Though I haven't had that problem, I've read on other forums, many others have got it. You just have to reset your settings to default, and it should work fine.

[mike_jmg]

not using firmware externder,
i'll try with the default settings thnx

[Tricky0]

Thanks homie

Yea no prob. Most people know about that little problem, but I guess you don't goto that many forums. At least you got a proper answer.(unlike some people, start flaming you, and flipping out cuz you didn't know how to do something so simple, heck I even ask questions like that, at least it's nice to know people actually try to help others out, lol)

[brasssmunky]

i havent even installed OE-C yet lol

[mike_jmg]

I hate to modify my settings all over again but it worked, thank you DCGohan

[DCGohan]

I hate to modify my settings all over again but it worked, thank you DCGohan

Yea, np. It's a common issue with this 3.10 OE, many people have the same thing happen.

It's just like going from 3.03 OE to 3.10 OE, you gotta redo some things, like font, custom xmb icons(which topmenu_plugin.rco, doesn't work...yet) At least it's something simple, not much to reset, just date/time, nickname.

yea i really appreciate it. im not the best at upgrading and things. and honestly this is the only forum i go to. i dont know any others. my friend referred me to this site a while back and im jus starting to really get into it. Im glad there are people like u on here that actually help..much thanks

[Uruz 6]

Say guys, if I use the RECOVERY wich was in the 3.02 OE - A on my 3.03 OE - C, will it work?
I need to downgrade back to 1.50 and upgrade again since my psp just won't memorize custom wallpapers (when I turn it on again it's back to default wallpaper).

By the way - good work DA!!!

[Veskgar]

Ok. Just upgraded my older (non TA-082) PSP to 3.10 OE-A and that went smooth as butter also. Didn't have to reset default settings this time around either.

3.10 OE-A is great!

[alioh7]

just need to clearify i have psp 3.02 OE-B and want to upgrade to 3.10 OE-A what are the steps first downgrade to 1.50 via recovery mode,then update to 3.03 OE-A then OE-B then OE-C then create the DAX files from 150.PBP and 310.PBP and then copy it to 310flasher folder and upgrade?

(if i missed a part tell me plz to be extra caustious)
thank you and long live Dark_Alex!

Nono. Nonononono. You can go straight from where you are to 3.10 OE-A. Just run the update maker, and then the installer, as in the instructions.

[alioh7]

ok thanks ^^

[jon_boy_uk]

My experience with FFVIII is weird. On 3.03 OE-C it seemed to work really well. No crashes, scan, fire etc worked fine. However after I upgraded magic seems to crash it and there are strange graphical glitches. For example on the world map, the collar on Squall is bright yellow where it should be white and the uppermost sky is yellow too!

Anyone else experience this? Does anyone think Sony will release a nice new FF- friendly firmware when they decide to release it on the PS3 shop?

Hrm!

maybe if you empty the recycle bin helps, somehow...?!?

Resident Evil 3 works great now...No graphical glitches...Abe Odysee had some annoying beep sound,but works great...I like those new options for the Playstation Emu..like Black level adjustment or volume adjustment.:thumbup:

[Method Man]

does cintro works on 310oec?

[jason215]

wzzup all i have a little question i did the
Flash agent Revision D -- Free Up Flash 0 space
by deleting japanse fonts

can i still upgrade safe ???? to 3.10 Oe-a

[Method Man]

i think you can but im not sure

[ebitiba]

Why did Sony put the controller select in this firmware? Does this mean wireless multiplayer soon?

[SpooForBrains]

Why did Sony put the controller select in this firmware? Does this mean wireless multiplayer soon?

Ooh, on the PS1 emu? That would be COOL. Not that I have anyone to play WITH (I don't know anyone else with a PSP) but it'd still be cool.

[Uruz 6]

So.. has the Autoboot been fixed?

[DCGohan]

wzzup all i have a little question i did the
Flash agent Revision D -- Free Up Flash 0 space
by deleting japanse fonts

can i still upgrade safe ???? to 3.10 Oe-a

I think upgrading will readd that font back. But I don't think it will brick if you try to upgrade. If you are real scared of it bricking, I'd say add it back in, just to be safe.

[DarthPaul]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! I'm Back And I fIND THIS!!! I'M A BIT LATE BUT YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LC_killer]

ok so i have a 1.5 from the usa launch. i use devhook on my psp now. and i want to play ps1 games. now i need to know. to play homebrew on this do i need gta to play homebrew. i sold my copy a while back. and i dont want to install this firmware and end up not having hombrew.

[Shrygue]

Custom firmware 3.10 OE-A (a mix of 1.50 and 3.10 mix as one) supports homebrew without GTA, you just load it from the memory stick in the GAME menu, along with PS1 games. It's by far better than 1.50 as it also has a recovery menu if you semi-brick.

It's just Sony's official firmware version 3.10 (just plain 3.10, not mixed with 1.50) that won't let you use hombrew, even via GTA they won't work as the save data exploit is patched up.

[LC_killer]

thanks much YKB. bless up

[LC_killer]

i have done a few downgrades before. so i hope that experience helps.

[Shrygue]

No problem there. :)

[alioh7]

<-- proud owner of 3.10 OE-A thank you dark_alex

SONY GOT BENT OVER AGAIN WOOT

[lampin]

would i be able to update to the new 3.10 with my system being 3.03 OE-B? or do i hav to update to 3.03 OE-C first??:confused:

Cheers, A.

[Shrygue]

You're welcome. :)

[DarthPaul]

Question: What's that "Dynamic Normalizer" ???

[lampin]

im not sure but i think it has somthing 2 do with the speed of the psx emulater

[DarthPaul]

Nah...I don't think so..it's under the "Sounds Settings"...

[MrMojo]

Question: What's that "Dynamic Normalizer" ???

it "normalizes" the dynamic of sounds.

supposed to be something to level all your music files, not hurting ur ears in case the volume changes from low to very high from one song to another. Not that useful if you already normalize ur playlists beforehand, but...

HTH

Cheers, A.

[MrMojo]

lol srry Mojo didnt think of that downloadin now :)

;) no prob. Upgrade is fine; but be prepared to some issues with your own custom icons (if u used to use any) because they don't work with 3.10 OE. They don't brick (because you can use recovery menu to reflash the originals) but may make your PSP look like it's bricked, aka black screen only and the like.

Just my 2c

Cheers, A.

[MasterBeef]

It DOES NOT play UMD movies region-free. My Region 2 FFVII does not play on my Region 4 PSP.

However, is there a setting somewhere you need to select for it to work or something?

[Shrygue]

You need to go the recovery menu and enable the Free UMD Region setting under Configuration.

[MrMojo]

It DOES NOT play UMD movies region-free. My Region 2 FFVII does not play on my Region 4 PSP.

However, is there a setting somewhere you need to select for it to work or something?

yes, the feature is _known_ not to work, as it didn't in 3.03 afaik, and there's nothing u can do atm, as only Him can fix this.

Cheers, A.

[DarthPaul]

ohhh Thanks Mr.Mojo.

[SpooForBrains]

OK, I can't access the web browser any more, I get the Blue Screen of Death. The PSP then powers off. I can power it back on any carry on as normal but the same thing happens whenever I try to access the web browser. Has anyone else had this problem?

[Shrygue]

I don't have this problem when using the web browser. When did this happen?

[SpooForBrains]

Since upgrading to 3.10 OE-A (which I did about an hour ago)

[Shrygue]

Maybe try restoring system default settings?

[blackrave]

I got a blue screen the first time I entered the system settings in 3.10 OE-A, but it got fixed when I pressed circle to restore the default settings. Just press circle many times the second you get the error screen and see if that works.

[SpooForBrains]

Good call. That worked.

Never had to do that before. Ah well :)

OK, I can't access the web browser any more, I get the Blue Screen of Death. The PSP then powers off. I can power it back on any carry on as normal but the same thing happens whenever I try to access the web browser. Has anyone else had this problem?

The reason a lot of people are getting this error is due to the change in the internet browser settings. Sony added a new option to "Conserve Memory" when using the browser. Since the old settings file didn't have that option, when 3.10 loads the settings it crashes. Resetting to default settings fixes the problem.

[Man]

this is awsome!!!

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

I upgraded to 3.10 OE-A (The extra PSone Functions rock, and the brightness level), but one of my games is spazzing out.

I get the 800148etc error when I try and run Splinter Cell essentials... Like I've popped the UMD or something?

It's not an ISO, it's the EU UMD and it get's past the Ubisoft logo, then back to the XMB. Any ideas? Anyone else has this prob?

Worked fine on 3.03 OE-C.

Cheers :)
