3.03 OE-A vs. 1.50 Comparison

[wolfpack]

that was one strange analogy

i just came back to give this a second look i just got 1.5 and dont want to leave it nervous :P

It is quite safe to upgrade, just make sure you follow the directions and you won't run into any problems. However, you might as well wait for 3.03 OE since it is coming out tommorow.

I've been wondering for a while now, What is a Semi-Brick? Is it just a normal brick but because of the recovery option, it's not a full blown brick? Is it the same concept as a 1.5 brick except for the fact that you can "recover" from it?

[cha0ticbliss]

I think that recovery boots up before the firmware so that if you screw up the flash and the firmware can't boot up, you still have recovery to run and eboot to fix your flash and usb to put the eboot on there if it isn't already.

Ohh, i see. So with cw it's pretty much brick proof in a sense? At least, better chances than a 1.5

You'll have to excuse my noobishness, I just installed 3.03 OE-A and I'm a bit new. I was on 1.50 and I'm trying to run some homebrew, however, everytime I try to run the homebrew it refuses to run and tells me that the game cannot be started with an error code, much like the homebrew blockage of other types, did I miss a step?

[Tetris999]

Well theres one thing i can say, we cant make that choice for you, we can help you decide but if you want to stay at 1.50 then stay, you have a reason to and you dont need further convincing if your happy with you're 1.50 then stay if your not really seeking something of more value

[Dariusz2k]

So then how do you run homebrew on 3.03 OE-B?

I've got 3 no-umd loaders, Puzzle Bobble, Star Soldier, and Wipeout Pure, Japanese, Japanese, and European respectively. None of them work. I'm wondering if it's a region issue (that I didn't have with 1.5) or is it something else that someone else might've encountered. Also, Snes9x TYL .4 gives me some weird problems. It gives me a memory card error when it boots up, claiming the memory card is corrupt, but after hitting the parent directory button a few times, it backs out to the root, and I can then manually enter the roms folder. However, I've noticed a few roms load, but then fail when attempted to load new data (not sure if it's a problem with the rom or the emu). Anyone else had similar problems or have any ideas?

Edit (after installing 3.03): So I never noticed the spiffy little setting in the recovery to turn no-umd on and off >_>

also snes emu works fine now, all's well that ends well, I suppose...
