3.03OE-A2 Released! - Custom Firmware Released

Dark_AleX has released an new version of his custom firmware, 3.03OE-A' or 3.03OE-A2.

Heres what he had to say about it:

A few fixes, and cpu speed for umd/isos:

This is the update from 3.03 OE-A to 3.03 OE-A'.

Execute this only from 3.03 OE-A.

changes:

- Added cpu clock selection for umd/iso games. (not for vsh yet)
- Fixed various bugs regarding the recovery menu, one of them made "rare text" appear when
entering in plugins if pops plugins existed, the other one caused a crash when pressing triangle.
- Fixed a small part of code in umd emulation that was not multithread safe.

To install this update, extract it to the root of your memory stick, and run the update in 3.03OE-A.

Does this fix any of the problems with the PSX emulation, such as the Resident Evil 2 problem (can't bypass the police station)? Is this problem ever going to be fixed?

That has to do with the emulator not custom firmware.

Upgrading is fast & easy but no WiFi in games when overclocked.

BASE.PBP is simply Hot Shots Golf 2 EBOOT from the SONY download store renamed to BASE.PBP. You put that and the keys.bin file in with popstation.exe to convert your own PSX games to EBOOT.

Don't be afraid to upgrade. If you already have 3.03 OE-A, this is a fast and easy thing to do.

But a major bummer is that you can't use any WiFi features of games when running them overclocked.

I hope there can be a WiFi fix or plugin in the future.

Excellent Work, Dark Alex.

Here's a tip, you should probably only come out with 3.04 OE-A AFTER sony comes out with their 3.04.
:) just a hint

that's a pretty safe bet, since 3.04 OE would be based OFF of Sony's official 3.04.

the over clocking is for the UMD/Iso so this will not cause a problem with wifi. plus i checked too so no probelms.

So I am a newb... I have a 1.5 PSP, should I update to this? would it be able to run all the homebrew I have?
January 7th, 2007, 04:19
vision

1st NO, update to 3.03 OE-A not 3.03 OE-A'......2nd Yes you can simply run any homebrew you want
January 7th, 2007, 04:20
Ramza042

Yes, and Yes.

It runs all 1.5 homebrew AND every UMD I own that I've thrown at it work as well.

Plus, you get a playstation emulator. :D

Here's my dilemma & I've posted it before and haven't gotten an answer yet. I'm currently running 3.02oe-a & location free tv was cut out of it & I have the base station & was using it a good bit on my psp. Is there anyway I can get the use back of the location free? BTW I'm a TA-82'er. I tried to use devhook on my 3.02oe-a (hoping emulating 2.71 would give me this feature back) but after following the readme instructions it still won't work. Every time I run it....it just tells me to reboot and the screen goes black. I did reboot & ran it again like the readme said but It just kept saying to reboot. Anyone have any suggestions?? It would be nice if Dark Alex would give us the option (on the next custom firmware) to opt out other functions such as PS3 connection or something else.

well to get pass all my crashes...........i use cw cheat to save my savegames to my memory stik to play them on my computer go pass the crashes then save on computer "remember to rename exactly to how cw saved it as" and reload them on my psp using cwcheat!!!!!:) heres the ready made psx emulator for the computer, sorry but u have to get the psx bios ur self, try google rename the bios to (SCPH1001.BIN) jus open cd image and ur gud!!! :thumbup:

To use cw cheat........extract and copy the seplugins folder to ur psp go to recovery mode->configuration->advance configuration and enable plain module in umd/isos then back up to the main menu and go to plugins folder and enable cw cheat........dont mind tha "disable" that comes after, its a glitch!!! :o
In the psx game hold select to open the menu----go to the memorycard option, u can take it form dere....it will save the savegame from the psp in .mcr format, that the pc emulator can use YEY!! enjoy

Ok, this is completely theoretical but couldn't you get a make a flash dump of 2.71se and flash the location free program to your 3.03oe flash0 from there. Im pretty experianced with the flash0 and have done stuff like that ( deleted something that shouldn't be deleated to free up some space then replacing it using a flash dump and pspfiler2.2) but hey, I could be completely wrong, as that would only work if Dark_Alex took out location free to make space for the custom firmware.

I know he took that out to free up flash memory space. I was stuck at 2.8(ta-82) for 6 months so I'm new to this and would need detailed instructions on how to do this. I would love to take out the PS3 connectivity or even the web browser as i find the web browser useless as alot of pages won't load up because the stupid cache is psp memory instead of using the memory stick for cache...ergo....out of memory error.

Hmm, Seriously read EVERY WORD in this guide as your mesin with the flash AKA minefield; http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about61385.html After a while you learn what to and not to do and what everything means ( I've never semibricked my psp, only temporarily mis-deleated stuff that I later replaced) DUMP YOUR FIRMWARE before you do a thing though.
