Wow, great guide dude.

That new recovery menu looks alot better than the blue one (but thats just damn picky).

Shouldnt you hide all the mac addresses in the pics?
(not sure why, everyone seems to do it though)

Nope, i hate it when people do that! the only way someone can use that is they use your MAC address and get banned from an access point then your PSP cant use that point! but even if that did happen just use MAC cracker and change it!

I know that custom 3.51 supports PS1 games. Does that mean that I can play all of my eboots that I have created? Is there a different format that I need to copy my games to? I guess I am asking if it has popstation like the DA OE's or something similar. I still have 3.10 OE b/c I play a lot of my PS1 games. Thanks in advance for any help.

I think this is a great firmware too. But I have a problem that I didn't have on 3.40 OE..look here.

And the guide is damn good for those new to the scene out there EX,nice job.

Yes it has Popstation,you can play your eboots,besides,this is the same as the 3.10 OE of DAX,but only that it uses the 3.51's Kernel instead of the 3.10's. That means you can also play the new games that require this newest firmware. So use it! Haha,up to you. But I really think you should. ;)

Hey, i'm trying to run
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Rengou VS ZAFT Portable On my PSP but it isn't working. Does anyone know if this game should run on 3.40oe-a, or what firmware the gundam game requires to run. The game was released around april.

Thanks

Also is there anything special you have to do in order to play PS1 games? Or is it just the matter of dropping the eboots into a folder, and then which folder would that be?
