Dark Alex's Open Edition Netwok Update downloader {WIP}

[SpooForBrains]

keane: update to 3.10OE-a' which has CPU speed, and ask further questions about that firmware in the relevent thread so we can keep this one on topic!

Thanks

ETA: sorry, welcome to the forums!

CPU speeds were added in later versions (I think 3.03 OE-B added UMD/ISO CPU speeds and XMB(VSH) CPU speeds were added later. Yes you can run devhook on any OE. Same as on 1.50 except put the devhook and devhook%in GAME150.

I'd like to say i cant wait for this, but i dont have wifi

Guys, this was not made by DA, it was made by -Xandu-. Whether or not DAX even knows about this is something I don't know. If -Xandu- lets me (the guy whos making this), I will explain more about how it works. Or if he wants to do it. That's his choice.

lol, "netwok" sounds like a hi-tech chinese cooking pan.
:thumbup:

in all honesty, i think this is a great idea.

[Jpdeathblade]

idk, i think it would be easye to get it off the computer myself (i know, this has been repeated over and over, what you gonna do).
And besides I have my network update run irshell, thats better then getting the update from it anyway =P

good job tho, ill give you that. Its wrong to put people down for something you cant do yourself.

Then I really hope Xandus and DAX get in touch with each other to make this a reality!!

[LilSwish722]

this is already a reality. were testing it now. but ill admit it would most likely be more complete/professionally done if they both got together.

This is definitely cool but I often use the network update feature to download official SONY updates in order to decrypt them and use with custom firmware, plugins, etc.

Step 2:
Via a patched Network Update icon or simple eboot launch:
Check for latest Custom firmware and if higher than current, download files to appropriate locations on mem stick.

I would try to keep all updates (installs/updates/patchs) all within a unified source of execution. Keeps things clean and simple for users.

You're right. I was still thinking of two separate eboots for the process, like the current method. They wouldn't have to be separate in this case would they?

For example the Sony Online Updater would be replaced with OE Online Updater which would handle all three cases.

Ideally, yes.

Step 3:
Check for official Sony firmware (direct link can be added to a .txt/resource file during step 2), then download the official eboot.pbp to a temp folder, when complete, rename to 3XX.pbp and copy to appropriate folder.

This i do not agree with. From where ever the latest supported OE SetupMaker/Installer is being hosted from (which is obviously a trusted source) so should the 3xx.pbp or new supported sony firmware.

I agree. I wasn't considering its inclusion for some reason.

Step 4:
Now all the critical files are on your stick. Ideally they are extracted to the proper locations. You can now (manually or automagically) run the OE Update Maker. Once the DXAR is complete the update maker could check the MD5 (or whatever you use on PSP side). If it checks out, move file to flasher folder.

This was already covered above in my post. But you mention something I missed and is extremely important..... MD5 check must be built in to the OE Online Updater for verifing the DAX file after its creation.

I only included this as it's a part of the process. Yes, checking the MD5 is mucho criticale! (no I don't speak spanish c|8^)

Xandu: I'm sure you've got plenty of people to help, but if I can be of service, I'm willing and able. I've got two PSPs: one virgin 1.5, another 3.10 OE-A'. I'm also adept at searching code for errors and other erroneous things.

Well This project sounds very interesting.... I believe we have given more then enough ideas to the developer in charge -Xandu-.

In the end its up to him and how he decides to implement this very cool feature. Good luck!
