i wont upgrade until i can know for sure i will be able to continue to play neo geo, gba and those emus at full speed, anyone who knows?

Upgrade and upgraed now. Take it from me ALL emulators and homebrew that work on 1.5, work just as good on 3.02OE and in the case of PS1 emulation, even better.

Tetris999, why do you gotta be so argumentative all the time. It's like you are always spoiling for a flame war. Chill dude.

that sounds fantastic dejkirkby!!

im getting really exited about this new firmware.. i have been really faithful to my 1.5 for almost 1 & ½ year.... but perhaps its time for me to change my mind and upgrade at last :D

This thread is pointless, whether it is true or not it doesn't offer any HARD evidence for a noob or any member of this site to upgrade. Now had the OP taken the time to write an organized list of the Pros and Cons of each firmware, keeping his opinion out of it (by this I mean, maintaining an open, unbiased mind) would this thread in fact serve any purpose.

there is one problem i have found with custom firmwares.... that being some random games have hardcoded pathnames that dont work do to the new folder you hav e to put the games in... although this doesnt really matter.... or am i just wrong about this too?

My freind read the title what does it say?

3.02 OE-B vs. 1.50 Comparison (For Noobs)

This is very true, lots of ppl ask wether 1.50 is better than 3.02 OE-B, this clears things up, pretty easy?

Oh yes and im not angry, im helping splodger understand a use to this thread thats all

You could be right about this. I havent tried all of my emulators yet but Castaway (the atari st emu) uses a hardcoded pathname to place all of the games into! ...I hope this emu still works on this new firmware??

Well I'm a 'noob' or whatever and this thread has proven useful. 3.02 OE-B sounds the best and was just about to upgrade from a 'virgin' 1.50 but now I hear the Castaway emu might not run - maybe a problem with others too? So I'll hold back a bit even though I want PSone games on my PSP!

Thanks.

I fixed the problem and Castaway does run on 3.02 0E-B (it even hides the corrupt data icon that was on my 1.5 for the 'atari_st' folder'). :D

All I did was select 'hide corrupt icons' and set kernel mode to 1.5 in the recovery mode menu, then I just placed the Castaway 1.0 single eboot into the 'atari_st' folder and moved that into the 'game' folder (not game150) and everything works fine! :thumbup:

From what ive tried everything has 1.5 100% compatibility!

Happy days. :)

i did update.. i havent tried any of my old emus yet, (snes, CPS2, GBA etc)

but the ability to play ps1 games are worth even if i couldnt play my old emus :P (almost)

crash bandicoot 3 just looks amazing on the psp screen btw!!

I love it, now that the TA82 downgrader is out I have two PSP's running golden firmware....
YEEEAAAHHHH.....
