2.71 SE revision B''

**MikeDX** · November 2nd, 2006, 12:20

Dark alex has released another update to his wonderful custom SE firmware.

This release includes a version bypass, allowing you to play GTA;VCS from the umd! So all those of you who "backed up" your umd to play it on you 2.71 handhelds, you now have no excuse!

Changes:

- Added SFO version bypass to real umd's. (this should enable gta vcs umd to be played).
- Fixed the problem of error 0x8002012D in certain games when plain modules is enabled.
Because the problem is gone, the updater will reset the option of plain modules to enabled.
If for some reason you still have that error, report it and disable the option, but it should be fixed now.

Holy crap... this dude doesnt sleep does he? Nicity!

EDIT : Thing is.. Im tempted to try these emulated firmwares... but man... I don't know why.. but I just cant give up my 1.5 . . . I wanted 1.5 for so long and when I got it back when the 2.6 - 1.5 downgrader was released.. I swore Id never write to flash again. But there aint much point in staying with 1.5 now is there? Hmmm.. decisions.

wait does this mean that now all 2.80+ umd games are all playable because of this new patch?
If so this is great we wouldnt need devhook 2.81 we just need a devhook 3.0

I suspect not all, but some... I bet he's got some plans in the pipeline to fix that too

Well, I don't see why you'd bother emulating a firmware when you can just run it instead. I don't see anything that staying on 1.5 gives you anymore. Plus, if for some reason you don't like it, you can downgrade to 1.5 really easily (or so I'm lead to believe) using the recover mode.

Now, I'm still on SE-A. I don't have GTA and I don't use ISOs. Is there anything this firmware gives me? The ability to play the 2.8 only demos would be nice.

(note, not knocking dark_alex's work at all, just wondering whether it's worth me upgrading)

Well.. if this new release can run Smackdown vs Raw 2007 when its released next week.. and Devhook cant.. I'll go for this new release. If Devhook can run SD vs Raw fine.. I guess I'll just stick with 1.5.

Dark Alex is a freakin' hackin' machine!
