Comparison: 1.5 and 2.71 SE-A PSPs

[althena77]

Hello

I use right now Harleyg's Custom Firmware and what I really like most about it, is that you can disable the autostart of UMDs. Very convenient, when you turn on your PSP and want to use an emulator and not play the game in the drive. Can you do this in 2.71 SE too?

I haven't done it personally, but I am pretty sure you can through the recovery menu. (hold R while starting up to access it.)

i personaly is stayin with 1.5

u might need to run devhook to do what u what on 2.71 but im use to it i dont mind. and that thing about it run all homebrew from 1.0 - 2.71(hen c) its a waste of time as long as it works on 1.0 it gonna work on 1.5 and 2.71 does not play every single homebrew. plus i still have a feeling that it can still brick ur psp if u miss use it

1.5 4 EVA

I just read the news on PSP-Updates again:
http://pspupdates.qj.net/index.php?pg=49&aid=68625

So first it says:

Personally, one of the main reasons I've stayed on 1.5 is because of Devhook and the Firmware mods. Now since it's all supported on 2.71, I don't see any reason why I should stick on 1.5.

But then later:

Besides, the UMD autoloading will probably be disabled by a firmware mod sometime in the future.

What does this mean now, can I use Firmware mods for the 2.71 SE now or not Harleyg's Custom Firmware is a Firmware mod for 1.5, could I mod the 2.71 SE with this one too, to disable the UMD autoloading? Disabling UMD autorun was the main reason for me to install Harleyg's Custom Firmware and I don't want to miss this in any other custom firmware, as I spent more time playing hombrew games and emulators on my PSP than "real" PSP games

[BL4Z3D247]

none of the mods for any 1.5 custom fw will work with 2.71SE, 2.71SE already has some customizations built in(skip the SCE logo, hide corrupt data, and recovery mode)so we need to wait til some mods to come out for it

[cha0ticbliss]

What are some examples of mods available for 1.5?

simple answer - yes.

for those asking about modifying your flash - riskier but still possible with the right application and a bit of knowledge about what could happen if it goes wrong also helps.

i have disabled kxploit, disabled autorun, set all background colors to black, disabled startup screen and changed gameboot, hell the only thing i didnt try (and wont be) is changing the fonts. the reason is that the fonts were causing d_a some trouble. if you remember in the readme some languages are disabled - i dont want to risk this however im sure someone else will.

simple answer - yes.

Thanks for this simple reply

Which program did you use to change the gameboot in 2.71 SE? In 1.5 I used ThemePSP to change the gameboot and/or bootsound and I would like to do that in 2.71 SE too. However ThemePSP complains that it only wants to run from PSP/GAME but I have to run it in 2.71 from PSP/GAME150.

You could convert it into a 1.0 eboot. That may work. A good program to use would be PSPBrew. That will convert 1.5 eboots into a 1.0 eboot.

i just wanna say 2.71 S-U-C-K-S! even though the thing is cracked it doesnt matter 1.50 homebrew because you have more acess to your psp also there are custom firmwares for it! heck i even think the 1.00 firmware is da bomb because the psp is totally ready to be hacked when that happens. i wonder what we could turn a psp 1.00, like i mean its totally defensless we could make an ultimate custom firmware that you can install your own stuff on it, not just little nick nacks here and there about running 1.0 eboots and skipping the screen or changing the background
