Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE-A Firmware SOON

[bullhead]

So is this firmware just 2.71 with all the benefits of 1.5 and 1.0?

If so I may just upgrade. Im excited about this one...

[gamesquest1]

I have two questions.

1. If i have a custom firmware already will i need to go back to original 1.5 before i get this firmware?

2. Why would you even need devhook to be campatible with this if it already does every thing 2.7 and 1.5 can do?

well there no point just giving up on devhook cus you can play hombrew on 2.71 there is and will be more updates and devhook is probably the safest wat to test new stuff when messing with firmware files without screwing up you psp so no point saying devhook useless i still think its the most amazing thing available for psp with custom firmware coming a close second but one thing i would like is the devboot option on the custom firmware this will remove the need for having devhook in the games section also with all these firmware options coming out im getting confused on what i should do, i really want 0x89 i think that will be amazing especially if that uses some of the teqniques found with this so it plays 2.71 games nativley but still this is amazing news

this is very simillar to the modchip having the 1.5 kernel run on top of the 2.71 very nicley done dark alex. the questions are

A. do i have to uninstall my custom firmware to upgrade to 2.71 and

b. should I upgrade to 2.71.

Btw this is the first time I can remeber upgrading seeming useful lol.

2.71 is NOT the new 1.50 regardless of what it can run it is still not entirely stable. Reread it my friends some eboots that run on 1.50 may not be executable. The loading time is also going to be lacking. WE DO NOT need this. Plus it writes to the flash so we could potentially brick our psp's doesnt sound good to me. . . . . 2.71 AND 1.50 users already have full exploited access to 1.50 eboots!!!! This=waste of time and we need to get 2.80 and 2.81 firmware running on devhook on either

A-2.71 firmware
or
B-1.50 firmware

These dumb mods on PSPupdates and the edited 2.71 firmware is a waste of time. I'm sorry, but it's true.

Don't be a hater, just shut up because this took dark alex a lot of time and effort to just make us happy, if you don't like it, don't use it.

Personally this just beat out the PS1 emulator as the thing I'm most fervently waiting for.
but yes he does say there is the possibility that some 1.5 eboots won't run right, however there is still none confirmed not working. Yeah it rights to the flash and maybe could brick the PSP, but that's our choice now isn't it? And to the point of full access to eboots, I would love to execute them from the XMB, and not have to run Devhook.

PS- It's ok to have an opposing view, but don't be such a ****ing $#@! about it.
