Homebrew users banned from upgrading

[mnky]

twit, no official updates have ever run on the custom firmware. Its due to the way DAX made it and its clearly documented.
Next time try to make a real post rather than just another feeble attempt for some shock value.

Many PSP Homebrewers seem upset that they can't upgrade to Sony's latest official firmware. Why? Because they've been using custom firmware on TA-082 PSPs. The 3.30 firmware installer doesn't seem to run on these modified systems, giving a mysterious 'DRNffffffd7 error code." These glitches seem to mirror the many found when Ratchet & Clank was released. So much for respecting the homebrew scene, huh?

Firmware 3.30 gives users some important functionality, such as official support for full-resolution videos and free internet access at T-Mobile Hotspots nationwide. For now, it seems as though users of custom firmware will have to wait until Dark_Alex and the rest of the homebrew community work their magic again.

How do you know this to be true anyway - has someone tried the update and bricked there psp?

Why would they want to upgrade?
And T-moble free internet?? Internet's wireless, just drive by a suburb or gas station!

It does say not to run official updates on DAX readmes.

Its only a matter of time before the man Dark Alex makes sony shudder in fear with his custom firmwire.

I thought dark alex has stopped?

[IM back!]

why wold any Homebrewers upgrade?

[pheonix1392]

Did they try to downgrade first??! Remember, Dark Alex took off the ability to upgrade to official sony firmwares...U have to downgrade back to 1.5 first. And why would someone want to upgrade to that firmware, you can already play full res videos on 3.03 OE-C can't you? People should just wait thil D-A cracks this too.

have there been any improvements to popstation through this new firmware?.....i mean c'mon it's the only thing really worth caring about.

[jonwww]

pheonix1392, I was thinking the same thing about downgrade-then upgrade. Also in a way this is probably a really good thing because if you could upgrade straight up, how many dumb@$$es would be crying a few days from now saying "I'm stuck at 3.30 & need a downgrader!!!" wahhh

DAX's custom firmware prevents the user from using an official Sony bricker (I mean updater) unless you downgrade to 1.5 first. But this is assuming you are insane enough to want to have 3.30.
