Pros and cons of 3.03 and 3.10 OE A??

[dark heart]

hi, seems that alot of people are getting this new custom firmware, i was thinking of getting it too, but wanted to know if i should.

i still want to be able to play the 1.5 homebrews, thats really all i'm concerned about. what is the downside to upgrading to a 3.03 or 3.10 OE A from a 1.5 and i have homebrews of which i want to stay in they're quality, and will my windows xp theme be damaged or will i be able to reinstall it?

i'm at noob with this, the only reason i can think of going to 3.10 OE A is because i can play psx games.

thanks in advance

You can play PSX games on 3.03OE too, its just that there is a bigger compatabily i think on 3.10OE.

You can customize the XMB menu on 3.03OE which you cant on 3.10OE. Those are the only differences really.

i mean the differences between 1.5 and the newer custom firmwares,

I think you can use all homebrew apps that worked on 1.50 under 3.10OE. I'm at 3.10OE and the only app I can't get to work is PMP subtitle mod. . But this is probably due to me being a noob...

So in the end there are just NO disadvantages. And if you still want to go back to 1.50, this is no problem...

Edit: I'm not sure if you can use a 1.50 custom theme under 3.03OE or 3.10OE

Of course the custom firmwares (OE) are much better.
They're basically 1.5 ones with enhancements and mofications.

Pros:
- Lets you play newer UMDs (that require firmwares higher than 1.5)
- Lets you play ISOs as simple as drag-n-drop to memory card. Then launch directly. (No Devhook needed)
- Internet Browser
- Customizable (3.03OE)

No Cons.

And, most importantly, the ability to play any ps1 full speed with sound.

[BurningRage]

no, not all. some of them are laggy or crash quite often. even though that's just a minority of ps1-games

[Triv1um]

and of course you get Recovery Mode.

can it still play Snes9x tyl 4.2?

[Triv1um]

Yes, custom firmware will play ANY psp homebrew.
