808 i've got a question for you. OR any other nice member who could help. I am currently running on 1.5FW. This was obtained by DG from 2.60FW. After that i am using DevHook and other stuff on it. Also using a custom boot as well. Nothing else... no other mods. Question is... Can i go to 3.02OE-A directly... meaning will the custom boot have any impact during flashing or is it fail safe.. Pls. answer fast .... i am having itchy fingers now that i've got all the files i need to do this. Thansk a zillion...
One more question... Sorry forgot it in my last post.... Your procedure is complete... .however one portion that is least stressed upon is the RECOVERY METHOD. i'm sure many will benefit if you could elaborate more on that.... where to put what.... at which stage .... that kinda stuff. Thanks again.
Just ventured into this whole ball game of the 3.02 (A and B) and I'm coming to this conclusion, and would like an 2nd opinion(s).
the 3.02 that is obtained is a US bios, what happens if I use this on my UK Model? I'm thinking this may cause problems?
98% of my PSX games are PAL, this will be a major drawback to me?
Will this ever be modified to allow PAL/UK Usage?
Sorry for the nievety of these questions, but I'd rather ask than mucking up my PSP, when I have a working downgraded 1.50 using DevHook..
Thanks for the info.
Is anyone having this problems, I converted FFT.I created another folder in psp/game/gamepsx and put the keys bin and eboot in the folder and when i run it get,,,I get this message, This game could not be started (80020321)...what am I doing wrong, where should i boot fro or what have I left out?, I'm becoming frustrated cos i really wants to play FFT,,,Any help would be welcome...
It does'nt matter what region is ur psp. for example mine is an Asian Region 3 it was on 1.52FW when i bought it. Than i upgraded it using a US 2.60FW downloaded from psp-hacks. Finally i downgraded to 1.50 using again a US FW, so all in all it does'nt matter. 2ndly if you have PAL games there is a converter to convert PAL to NTSC to play em on PSP. Search with the first few pages of this thread i am sure its there. Later.
Just wanna thank you all! I am now playing FF7 on my PSP!!!!
If I can manage this, anyone can....
Thanks, after my initial doubts, I'm up and running and working...
Thanks again for an excelent tool.
7.Make sure your PSP battery is fully charged, then run the program
8.Alternately, plug-in your charger, then run the program, then hold down the L and Triangle button to bypass the battery check and go to the flashing stage
:confused: i dont get it :confused:
its either point 7 or 8 ?
its taking too long to do that DRAX file
Is anyone else curious as to why the "Normal" or "Full Screen" settings on the emulator don't use the top or bottom of the screen?
can someone pleeeeease post a data.dxar file (Needed to reflash psp after semi bricking it)
This is so totally stupid but i just LOVE what you did with the titles
anyway wish i cud be like that :p
This guide is awesome. You should be very proud. I often put far too much emphasis on how many posts someone has. That being said, this is the best thread I've ever seen by someone with 131 posts, haha, really this is a very helpful thread.
does this work with 2.71 SE-c? if not, can someone post a downgrader for it, or someway to get it off
thanks so much for this thread man. Fully updated now from 1.5 which I said I'd never do. Works perfect, playing ff7 as we speak. :thumbup: used iso tho :)
Well this homebrew is freaking awesome!!!!!I've been playing alot of classics on my PSP.But recently 1up stated that this is a pirated software.....can anyone clarify the legal state of this awesome program????
how well do the psx games play with only one analog stick?
I have converted Tomba 2 and after thewarning I get.
"This game could not be started 80000004"
Any suggestions?
Im not sure if this is on the thread or not but after i tried to start the program after getting the DXAR file, the PSP just freezes. I tried reformatting and opening the folder and it stil freezes. Can anybody tell me whats wrong?
Sorry guys, but i just ripped MGS and put on my psp, but the screen is farrrrr too small, any idea how i can 'blow it up' so that the game fits the screen??
Thx man i got it working now... i converted ff7 pal (using the raw .bin image) into the NTSC version using the link given for the tools pack. it works! only a couple of graphical glitches..AWESOME!http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/ima...es/thumbup.gif

Ok, I have my PSP that I've kept at 1.5 since launch, and I finally want to update to 3.02OE-A. I've followed the instructions, from the README, and especially the well-written guide over at DCEmu, and I believe I'm doing everything correct.
1.) I copy the 1.5 and 3.02 over with the oeupmaker folders, and generate the DATA.DXAR file; the file's MD5 checks out.
2.) I format my memory stick, and copy over the 302oeflasher with the DATA.DXAR folder, and run the firmware, and it appears to work, I don't get any errors, and when I check the System Settings the Firmware states 3.02OE-A.
Here's where I'm starting to run into problems.
3.) I put in a UMD game (Wipeout Pure, for example) and try to run it from the menu; When highlighting the UMD the Bios Menu will freeze. If you restart, and it runs the UMD automatically, it goes to the PSP Bios screen, but it looks a bit corrupted.

4.) It will then continue to load, and show your typical developer menus, but it will freeze again before ever getting to a main menu.
I haven't even gotten to the point of trying any PSX games yet with Popstation, for the matter that what I'm getting doesn't appear to be normal, and from a couple people I've talked to, isn't. Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on? So far, I've re-downloaded the 302OE files, and the 150 and 302 firmwares, and started from scratch with a different USB cable, but with the same results. I'm starting to wonder if it could be a memory stick issue, but I've been formatting it between each firmware update. I'm using a SanDisk 1 GB, if there are any issues with that.
Is there a particular step I'm leaving out? Other than that does anyone have ANY clue what's going on? I've been able to safely flash it back to 1.5, and I was originally wondering if maybe the 302 firmware I was using, but like I said I re-downloaded it and started from scratch.
Note: I originally upgraded all the way to 3.02OE-B, but had the same problem; so I went down to 1.5 and went up to 3.02OE-A, but the problem seems to be there to begin with.
Thanks a lot. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Hi,
i'm making the pxar.dat file, well at least i hope. It goes fine with the 150.pbp but then with the 302.pbp it takes for ever (ever meaning in this case above 45 minutes.) i don't think this is normal?
any other people experiencing this?
should i try again?
ghoti
edit: pfffffffffffffffffffffff it finally did it, maybe someone should add it to the tutorial that it could take an hour as it did with me :S
have yall had any problems runing some iso on 3.02 oe-b. some of the iso that i could play on 2.71 sec i cant play with 3.02 oe-b i have to use devhook
Ya, if you have a Sony 1GB like I do it takes an hour to create the PXAR file and 1 minute to install.
Well I got it to go but turn black but it didnt say game was corrupted... Oh and Im trying to get Tomba 2 to work. Has anybody tried that game and got it to work if so do you mind telling me how you did it?
I got Tomba! to work but it gets to a pic. of a forest thing and freezes... Bad rip maybe? I heard that you have to do certain stuff to get them both to work proply is that true?
can anyone help me please, its taking quite a long time to make the DXAR file. about 30 minutes to 1.50 and its been going on for an hour or so for the 3.02 file >< if anyone can help, it'd greatly appreciate it
edit, yes I'm on a 1 gig >< and I guess it is supposed to take this long to update ._.
