3.03 OE-A vs. 1.50 Comparison

[gr42178]

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??

I believe you guys are having this problem because you put your eboots in the "game150" folder. Just put them in the "game" folder and change the kernel mode to 1.5 in the recovery menu and they should all work.

Though this thread may be biased, but it does answer the simple question, can it run homebrew.

*cough yes cough*

I have always said that 1.5 is the best firmware ever, because it is the original.

You may be saying 3.02 is better but in my opinion... 1.5 is the best firmware.

lol And yes i do have 3.02 hehe

+Load PSP-Backups from XMB (Save Battery and faster Loading Times)

+Nearly all 1.50 Homebrew works (3.03 OE-A is a modified Hybrid-FW of 1.50 and 3.03)
+No Space on the Memory Stick needed (Everything is in Flash while Devhook needs MS-Space)
+Memory Sticks over 4GB supported
+Devhook support

3.03 OE-A CONTRA
-Some Savegames from 1.50 Devhook don't work (Play it again with 33% more FPS (333MHZ) on 3.03 OE-A :-)
-NoUMD Mode Compatibility Problems for some Games
-Nearly full Flash 0 (Not much Space for big Gameboot.pmf's etc.)
-Location Free Player removed (Not enough Space Left in Flash0 but nearly noone uses it)
-Big Korean Font Files removed from Flash 0 (Relinked to other small Font)

3.03 OE-A is definately the "Golden Firmware". It's better than the plain 1.50 and any other official or unofficial Firmware out there. So stop asking. It has all the strenghts and none of the weaknesses of 1.50. And it's getting better with every update. You can downgrade everytime to 1.50 (Really Senseless). If anyone asks wich is the best Firmware, send him to this Thread. Now with the new Popstation cracked to play nearly any PSX-Game compressed and fullspeed i feel like in Heaven. Dark Alex is definately the King of the PSP Homebrew scene. Muchas Gracias.... For now, i can't imagine how to make this beautiful Firmware any better, but i'm shure it will get better... Anyway. Stop asking this Questions and update your PSP with the new Golden Firmware. SONY definately got owned....

Definintely psx-emulator is the big draw to 3.02oe, at least for me, as well as the high firmware for playing newer games.

+WMV,H264,Flash and More Media Types supported

Is this a mistake, or is Windows Media Video actually supported in 3.03?

[aCoL]

aCol, you are ether blind, old-fashioned or you close your Eyes in front of Reality... If you read the first Post and dont change your Mind, you must be kiddin..

There is a New Era.. 1.50 is over.. 3.02 OE-B is NOW.
It's like when you have a fat Chic as Girlfriend (She can maybe dress herself like good looking Chic, but it isn't the same as a real Sexy Chic) and someone wants to offer you 10 sexy Girls for replacement and you dont want it. Unbelievable...
