help me - do i stick with 1.5 or change to 3.02OE?

**benn** · December 26th, 2006, 16:33

DAXs work has got me so excited. i am really thinking about updating my 1.5. i am just a bit uncomfortable losing all my sega genesis, snes and commodore games lol.
also if i upgrade, does that mean i have no way of using devhook right? so then what happens when i want to play the new PSP games?
but i so want to play FFT and FF7&8 at full speed and i presume AC has stopped his PSX emu now

opinions and advice please

1. When you upgrade to 3.02OE, you can still play your homebrew games. So, you won't lose any of your abilities to play homebrew.

2. Devhook is not necessary since it's using the 3.02 firmware and it can play all the latest games without emulating the firmware itself.

3. After you upgrade to the 3.02OE firmware and you don't like it, you can downgrade it back to 1.5 firmware.

So, it's up to you how you want to go about upgrading to 3.02OE, but I can't see why anyone would really stay on 1.5 anymore. Also, keep in mind that 3.02OE combines both the 1.5 and 3.02 firmware in one upgrade.

Firstly its entirly up to you weather you want to update to 3.02OE-B, we cant make that decision for you.

My suggestion is update to 3.02OE-B, also you can play all your snes games and such etc... you just have to put them back on your memory stick after you update. You can also play any umd game basicaly so theres no need for devhook. Also you can play ps1 games.

So i would say go with 3.02OE-B

You won't have to put them back on your MS, because you won't need to take them off in the first place.

And you can play your own PS1 games

is it the same high speed for the snes and genesis roms in 3.02OE-B? or is it slower?

does 3.02OE-B emulate ScummVM?

The speed for snes and genesis roms are the same in 3.02OE-B as it was in 1.5.

Yes, 3.02OE-B emulates ScummVM, just like a lot of the other emulators that ran on the 1.5 firmware.

I cant add anything to what has been said already, except another vote for upgrading to the custom firmware. I stuck with 1.50 for a very long time for the same reasons you have. I finally took the plunge a week or so ago, and it has been bliss. no more dual booting etc. It is a dream. Do it!!
