Finally I Took the Plunge

[Gredler]

Does this new firmware run homebrew, and does it run UMD games that require firmware above 1.5?

Maybe I'll buy a PSP game for the first time sense this thing came out, so far I've only used it for homebrew and lumines

All psp fans out there!!!!! U should upgrade from 1.5-3.03oeb cause is !!!PERFECT!!! 99% of all 1.5 homebrew is supported!! & psx (PSone) games is playable & many things that can custom your psp is supported!!!!

Ok, i'm convinced, but what should i install first? I currently have 1.5 installed, should i jump directly to 3.03 or do i have to do it in steps?

like 1.5 -> 2.71 -> 3.03

help me out please.

Glad to see you are going to join us. Its really easy. You can go straight to 3.03 but must install 3.03 OE-A before patching it to OE-B. If you are at 1.50 currently just do the following:

1.) Upgrade to 3.03 OE-A

then....

2.) Run the updater to bring it to 3.03 OE-B

You don't need to upgrade to 3.03 OE-A2. You can go right from 3.03 OE-A to 3.03 OE-B.

So you'll go from 1.50 -> 3.03 OE-A -> 3.03 OE-B

Its not as scary as it sounds. Just follow the README's..... Hope this helps make it a little less confusing.

(BTW) if wraggster, the man himself even took the plunge, you know its good.... And it is!

Thanks for the assurance i'm keeping my fingers crossed

Upgrading PSP...

[shinysuitman]

upgrading to a new firmware is nerve racking. i upgraded just a little while ago and it was a long few minutes upgrading the firmware, but it was completely worth it. in my opinion, it was only worth it to do the firmware 3.02 and not the 2.71. all you guys out there that think that having a virgin 1.5 is better than using the system to its fullest, i know how you feel, but hey, gotta take risks and experience what you can on a machine that you paid a heap of money for. You can do it! haha

I just upgraded to 3.03 oe-b. Can someone tell me If I need to have a ps3 to get psx games on the psp. Or point me to a guide somewhere. Many thanks! :thumbup:

QUESTION!

Hey guys, I've been hugging my 3.03 oe-B tightly for so long now, I'm out of the loop with downgrading etc.

A friend of mine has recently got a new PSP and I wanna help him out. I've confirmed it's a TA-082, and it's currently running 2.71, so...

All I need to do is - Hen-D then Downgrade to 1.50?

I wanna get it right, and not brick it on him

Thanks!

Upgrade his PSP to firmware 2.80 and then use the new downgrader by fanjita & crew over at www.noobz.eu.

The reason for this is that it has a bunch of fixes and it is a safer downgrader. Also, it was developed in cooperation with Dark_AleX so you know its quality. Not like fanjita or noobz need to prove themselves or anything.
