Custom Firmwares Which One is Best

**sfaok** · April 28th, 2007, 16:41

3.10oe for me. I'm not too concerned with customizing that isn't really an issue. However, since I play alot of ps1 games, the popsloader plug-in is very, very handy for the more awkward ps1 games.

Given that 3.30 and 3.40 break certain games without the option of using popsloader, I'm sticking with 3.10 for the time being.

That said, if a popsloader did come out for 3.40 then I'd probably upgrade as thats the only thing thats holding me back from upgrading.

At the moment the extra features that newer firmwares have are not really something I'd get much use out of. Its just a case of weighing up the pro's and con's and the benefits of upgrading and deciding whats best for you.

wise decision.. I didn't knew this issue when I upgraded to 3.40 OE

Personally, I like my new 3.40 oe-a PSP, but I'd have to say 3.10 OE-A' is the best because it had the best plugins for the recovery menu. [ i.e.) Pikey, which has not been proven to work on 3.40 so I'm not comfortable with flashing it.]

I think this is probably an issue of personal needs

If you like customization you use 3.03 OE-C

If you play a lot of ps1 3.10 OE-A with the pops plugin and stuff

In my case I like having the latest custom firmware, hoping the ps1 games I have don´t crash anymore, lol

Also, when the new God of war comes out, surely is going to use sony´s latest upgrade

So for me is 3.40 OE, cause i got a custom topmenu, and custom gameboot that looks great on the latest OE (LOL)

3.40oe, the fast disc-load option in popstation, added stability, able play the latest actual psp games, and customizable icons ftw.

3.10oe-a' is still a good choice due to the backwards compatibility popsloader (mainly for FFVII)

3.03 OE-C hands down

I back this up 100%... ever gettin 3.03 oe-c, i havn't moved back or foreward to any other firmware... its a personal best in my opinion

i downloaded a 3.30 customizable XMB pack.

so i always keep my 3.40 OE A psp looking good.

as far as user feedback goes.

i am a HOMEBREW player, and in 3.40 i get the least problems, in 3.30 the system constantly crashed. i recommend 3.40, and if ya wanna customize, just search for 3.30 RCO's
