Psp: 2.71 Custom Firmware SE-B

Jak, I know about that, I'd just forgotten to make a backup of the darx file. I'm in the habit of formatting my memory stick after any flashes so I lost it.

Custom 2.71 SE-B rocks! I love the great new feature that's been added but can't say because it'd be against the forum rules to discuss about it. High time brilliant in any case though!

lol, ok, just thought itd be quicker/easier to do it in one step then it is in two steps, and with some people not reading the readme, didnt know if u knew

I think the flak that this custom firmware has taken is due, in part, because some people may have spent time and money trying to attain a 1.50 PSP before getting slapped in the face because of homebrew.

For instance, I paid 400 USD for a 1.0 PSP from Japan about 8 months ago. And I was happy, because, in the foreseeable future, there was no dowgrade to 1.0 (in fact it was deemed impossible, since there was NO update to 1.0 since it was the ORIGINAL firmware). So not only did I buy a piece of hardware that could play homebrew without the use of exploits or any of that nonesense, I also had an investment in my hands, I could sell it later on for alot more money because it was becoming rarer by the day.

When the 1.0 downgrader had come out (which, became useless, because most of the homebrew out there was already kxploited for 1.50 and some required files 1.50 had that 1.0 didn't) I was upset. I had spent way more money than necessary buying a rare item only to find out that the homebrew community released a 1.0 downgrader that essentially made light of my investment.

I love my 1.50 and 1.0 to death. I upgraded the 1.0 using ookm's 1.0 reversion tool, which can upgrade to 1.50 and then revert the firmware back to 1.0 using files from that PSP. I played around with devhook on it, but I felt like I was cheating myself. There was my $400 dollar 1.5, which I could have bought a cheap 2.0 on Ebay and downgraded to 1.5 if I really needed to.

Well, point of my post is, that I feel some people have become comforable with the 1.5 and some may have even invested more money in it than others may have.

But we're all family here, we shouldn't condemn each other for their choices in firmware. Each person will have different firmware preference depending on their individual needs.

For the person who never uses the webbrowser (official or homebrew) what use is 2.71? For the person who never uses homebrew what use is 1.5? For the person who customized their 1.5 why upgrade to a firmware that doesn't support customization?

I think its great that Dark Alex is making these and while I may never use it, I still respect him for it. But we need not condemn one another for their choices of firmware.

Simply put..... You spent more than you should have.... And I kind of feel the same way some times. I feel like firmware 1.5 becomes useless considering everyone can pretty much get it.

Oh well i'm going to upgrade to this from 1.5fw, the one PSP game i play regularly needs 2.0+ and i also like my homebrew so i have to switch via Devhook a fair bit - this may be the best firmware for my needs.

Yeah I know... What sucks the most was that at the time, there was an auction that had a buy it now, I was going for it, but was beat to it by someone else... That one was more reasonable.

Then I saw the auction for the one I got, and kinda jumped the gun on it...

Well its a great PSP and I use it for the little PSP coding that I do (mainly beginner's crap) on it, so it wasn't all for loss.

Ya I'm also, still learning how to code, at a higher level. I can pretty much do games like PONG and everything now. "NO I WILL NOT RELEASE THEM" I think the psp scene has seen enough pong =P. But when I start to bring my coding to a more advanced state, 5 years from now XD. I'm sure the psp2 will get some use from me

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced problems while playing Madden 07 in the new 2.71 SEB, because since I have upgraded to this firmware, I have played Madden 07 three times, and it has froze on me each time a few minutes after starting a game. There is nothing wrong with the game and it worked fine on my 1.50 before I upgraded, and it also doesn't work on my friend's 2.71 SEB. I installed the firmware just as I was suppose to, I followed step by step, yet, this problem occurs. Has this happened to anyone else in Madden or any other game for that matter? Perhaps a glitch in the firmware? In any case, this is an awesome upgrade and I would like to thank Dark Alex for making such a great custom firmware! Hopefully he could fix this glitch, that is if it exists.

You talking about the pretty Icons that show up without using Devhook
