Psp: 2.71 Custom Firmware SE-B

[pkmaximum]

Wow, its finally decided, I was on firmware 1.5 since March 24 (the PSP's release date in the USA) and now with all the new features. I have finally decided to do this.

Ok, I'm ready to upgrade to 2.71 SE-B...I'm waiting for my PSP to reach full charge...I need to know what I have to do in oreder to update my current fw to this...I am currently at Harleyg's custom 1.50.

It looks good but does every single homebrew/emulator work on this firmware and can I use theme psp to put on my beloved golden sun theme. Im so familiar with harleyg's and I love the dual booting (I dont know why ). Is this firmware really that good that I should replace harleyg's with it.

1.5 is now officially useless.

Sony = owned

NEVER!!! Its still not quite 1.5... Great work by the D_A though

Great work Dark Alex. For me, this definitely tops 1.5. But to each their own.

2.71 SE, the alternative golden firmware, coming soon to a PSP near you

LOL
anyway lets answer a question

Is this firmware really that good that I should replace harleyg's with it?

This firmware is excellent, as it combines being able to play comercial and homebrew games without devhook. Where you chould replace it depends on the following really;
Do you use devhook often?
Yes=Its worth at least trying out this firmware as devhook takes ages to load and stuff
No=May as well stay at 1.50 then
Whats Devhook???=.....Please tell me your joking, you must know what devhook is

Do you like customising your XMB?
Yes=Stay at 1.50 as the flash customising tools (like X-flash and Theme PSP) are much more advanced (and thus, much better) than the 2 that are on 2.71 SE
No=Depends on your answer to question 1 (devhook)
Whats a XMB???=Cross Media Bar, aka the psp startup menu thing

Do you use ISOs?
Yes=READ THE RULEZ NO ISO TALK
No=Good, ur no pirate, upgrading depends on your other 2 answers
Whats an ISO???=Not gonna bother telling you, so you dont try an use em, so you dont start pointless 'What do i do to get this ISO working' thread

im wondering will wifi work on this costum firmware im asking cus i plan to update to 2.0 then go back to 1.50 and then flash this costum firmware not gona take eny chanses in briking another psp,also i have harlegs CF so im thiking i have to do this no matter what if not plz tell me thx in advance and this is the best homebrew so far =D

[jak66]

wifi should work, but wpa or whatever wont work on 1.50 homebrew (cause 1.50 only had no security and wep security options) its up to you if you want to go for a clean firmware, but it shouldnt be neccesary as it wipes your flash before updating
