ExcruciationX's 2.71 SE-C Installation Tutorial

Just to let everyone know, everything is working fine now. I had updated my SE-B" to SE-C with an auto-installer from some unknown coder. (What a stupid thing to do I know...) Anyway, thankfully the recovery worked, I recovered to 1.5, then updated back to 2.71 SE-C (yeah it's that worth it :D ) using Chaos Zero's installer, and everthing is just peachy now. Man, I really went into a panic this afternoon. Anyway, much thanks to all for all the help and advice. You guys are the best. :)

Just for the record, you need 3 game folders. GAME. GAME150, and GAME271

in what folder do you put the three letter word we arent allowed to talk about...???

In the folder with the 3 letter word..... But I don't know what you mean by that;)

Im gonna try that...
Thanx..

Ok... i'm running things out of the GAME150 folder but i'm getting corrupt files showing up when i'm scrolling through the games list.

How do I fix that?

I get that too.
Whtats the diff between the Game and the Game 150 folder? And how to you se kernel mode to 1.50?
Is that in the recovery console?

The GAME150 is for 1.5 apps and games.

The GAME folder is for 2.71... i'm guessing. But I have heard that you also might have to create a GAME271 folder. I don't no if that is true or not.

I use Nesterj for my nes homebrew and I had to create "NESROMS" folder and put it in the "GAME" folder instead of the "GAME150" folder where the emulator is running.

I guess that's the interresting thing about 2.71 se is all the little quirks you have to stir around unlike 1.5 which is a pure homebrew firmware.

But I love having all the new features again and still being able to play homebrew so I would recommend 2.71 SE-C to everyone that has a PSP that can run it.:thumbup:

I really like it,
I just need to confirm that it works with the best homebrew app of all times...
MapThis.
If it does, it truely is the golden firmware.

Thank's, Vega :)! I really didn't think it was going to be a hit. The SE-A tuts were not as popular.

Question, when is you're next wallpaper pack coming out?

More comments anyone (sorry for the double post)?

I read somewhere that you should not use wallpapers with SE-C, is that true?
I cant find that post anywhere...

Errr...can i use the orginal DATA.DXAR i made ? using the seupmaker. I only ask this as will it have all the previous fixes from se b' and seb '' ? ... probaly a stupid question.

Oh and by orginal i mean from the Se a seupmaker.

Right, you can't use the orginal DATA.DXAR file.

...yeah ...was a stupid question sorry

Look at my sig. There is a pack that has the Data.Dxar file premade. This will upgrade you from 1.5 to 2.71 SE-C.

Thanks for this, Ive been looking into this for the past few weeks, ever since I bought GTAVCS and couldnt use homebrew anymore. I even went to the bother yesterday of trading in my updated psp for a second hand psp of the same model, but running on 2.60. lol I actualy asked to check the firmware lol

If i remember right my psp tried to run the program but it said something about this game cannot be run. And then I went back to the XMB.

I mention file corruption because in the GAME menu the first file on the list looked like a regular file which I could run, but the second file on thye list was in two halfs with a jagged edge through the center saying corrupted file.

Its not a problem, I updated to 2.71 and added the patch created by Dark Alex.

You run the file that has a red icon. Did you try to run the "corrupted" one?

I dont think I did, is that important?

I'm still having problems all aropund, like trying to run devhook,. I even installed the hen_c version of the homebrew activation patch. But still it doesnt work.

edit: Just retried your 2.71 SE-C installer, I got the PSP loading screen as the programmew booted up, but then i got a black scren and my psp shutdown on me.

Also the corrupted file will not work, PSP says the game could not be loaded the file is corrupt.

Yes it is, because you run the one that says "2.71 SE-C Installer" or something like that. The corrupted one, your not supposed to run.

I reinstalled the Installation files, and nothing happened again. I don't know whats going on It seems its just bad luck on my part.

But for some reason I'm getting the corrupted files when I use Dark_Alex's official installation files.

yo make a folder called seplugins in the root of your memory stick then make two blank .txt files called game.txt and vhs.txt and put those in the seplugins folder. Then find the prx module you want to load and put it in the seplugins folder, If you want to load the prx in a game you write this in the game.txt file ms0:/seplugins/whatever.prx/ and if you want to load it in vhs then do the same to the vsh.txt, but you can load the plugin to vhs and game at the same time its prety cool and simple to do and there is no risk of bricking cause it doesnt flash.:thumbup:

EDIT:O yeah after you do the steps above you have to enable them from the recovery folder in the seplugins directory you just press x on it and press x on the module name and it enables it so that u can use it

Yes excruciationX i saw you message ill let you know after i finish my full system scan i have a trojan hore in my recovery files so i might take a while to remove its not like a normal virus its kinda hard to take out and I have a bunch of files on my pc so itll be scanning for ages lol :D

So two corrupted files show up?

EDIT: I read you're posts, and I think I see you're problem. Your trying to run the installer through 2.71! You need to downgrade to 1.5 to use it.

Hey Gizmo356! Did you see my message?

EDIT, AGAIN!: Sure, just tell me when your done.

In reply to the above, I will do that when I have the time, just online for 10 mins then I'm off out for the night. Once my hangovers gone will do as you suggest. And will inform you through this thread of the outcome.

Thanks for all the help. I am a very greatfull Noob lol

Hi,

I've just finished installing 2.71 SE-C :D but am really confused because my homebrew dosn't work any more, it just gets stuck on the white start up screen. Could someone tell me what "game" folders to have and what to set the configuration setting to under the recovery menu (kernal 1.5 or kernal 2.71)

Thanks in advanced.

well i have it at the 1.5 kernal and if your homebrew doesnt work try the noobz sfo patcher

As I stated above I would update on my situation.

I have downgraded to firmware 1.50 successfully, just a little hiccup in not having the HEN_C Patch Installed while tring to run the downgrader.

Dark_Alex's Generic Downgrader works like a charm.

I'm just wondering whether to use the golden firmware or go right to using devhook for the firmware emulation.

I really have no clue.

I hate having my homebrew corrupted! It happens every week! :mad:

I'm downgrading to 1.5, because this is bullshit!
