Finally I Took the Plunge

[firon]

I held out just like you. But when I saw the potential of 3.02oe-b I couldn't resist. Not only that but I brought everyone I know with me! LOL! Ended up upgrading 5 PSPs before I was done!

Since I have a 1.50 PSP and a 1.0 PSP I took the plunge with 1.50 and left my 1.0 as is. I use it when the desire to write PSP code takes me, which is not often lol.

I have had 1.5 since April of 2005 and I have never touched the firmware on it, because I knew that if I did, something would go wrong and Id have a bricked PSP... but the enticement over the years and with the new custom firmware, I decided to do a little research.
I looked online at people's responses on the new firmware, and found a very reliable guide (From this site) Plugged in my PSP, and upgraded to the first custom firmware that unlocked PSX availability.
With the success that overtook me, I was thrilled to find out that it was actually a painless procedure if you can count your numbers (1..2..3).
Just follow the steps and Alex wont lead you wrong!

Thanks again Alex! And to DCEmu!

(Also for the people with no memstick space, do a little research on USB with 3.03 OE-B)

Welcome to the new world Wraggster, .

P.S. You have to throw the 1.00 Version of PSPUAE into the GAME150 folder, to be able to run it, . Unless you have already switched your Kernel in Recovery, so that GAME = 1.50 and not 3.03.

Ive had a v1.0 PSP since the release day in Japan all those years ago and not once was i interested in updating, not even when the releases of Devhook for v1.5 occured.

But recently with the release of Dark Alex`s firmware that supports the full speed Playstation emulator that shook my resolve, i was tempted to buy another PSP but my wife and bank balance didnt agree so last night i updated from v1.0 to v1.5 then onto the Dark Alex firmware.

Now its onto the new generation of firmware, my only hope is that Dark Alex and co give support to PAL Playstation games.

One funny thing is that with the release of the firmware/emulator that i have gone out and brought all my fave PS1 games to play on my PS2.

Who else finally took the plunge with the new firmware from v1.0 or v1.5 ?

i did the same last night, and i would have to say that yes, i do like 3.03 OE-B alot

the only thing that i can see as a downer ( which probably can be fixed ) is the boot times...but thats about it... evverything else is a positive

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

I was exactly the same. In fact, I only upgraded a few days ago! Before then, however, I was very reluctant.
Now, I play Um Jammer Lammy and Symphony of the Night on the PSP.

I've also had my 1.5 for over a year and a half, and was concearned about upgradig to 3.03 OE-B. I did it yesterday and loved it! I just couldn't believe I've waited so long to update. Just one question though, can someone poit me to where can I find out about the Advanced Configuration tab about all those Flash pspbtcf..etc are for? And also to get plugins?

I purchased my PSP with 1.5 specifically in mind about 18 months ago.
and swore I would never move...
Didn’t see any reason too.

First came 3.02 and then 3.03

Seeing all my PSX games come to life again is worth it.
Even if something goes wrong I can always go back to 1.5 and use DevHook.
