3.30 OE at Midnight? - Image 1


Right now, we're calling this little piece of info from vodkkaa and P8ntballinfrk a rumor, but you know we wish it was true. According to the site they tipped us off to, the OE version of the 3.30 firmware might very well be coming at midnight.

PSP-Generation writes that with the assistance of Mathieulh, Dark_Alex was able to finish coding the 3.30 OE firmware. All that needs be done is to add an automatic installer, and we should have it online very soon.

Of course, we're not sure which "midnight" PSP-Gen is referring to, since the time zones will evidently mess this up. Still, it's definitely big news, and we'll keep you posted on the latest happenings on it here and keep this updated with the latest information on the fabled 3.30 OE firmware. Till then, be patient.


UPDATE:

Well, here's some confirmation of the PSP running 3.30 OE Firmware. PSP Gen now has a video up showing the update process in action. The only thing of note in the vid, for those skeptics, is the fact that a cut occurs in the middle of the video.

Using translation services, we were able to get this explanation from the people at PSP Gen:

You will undoubtedly notice that there is a cut in the middle of video. As the installer is not made yet, it was thus necessary to intervene on the level of the flash manually. This operation not being interesting, since provisional, thus was voluntarily cut to the assembly.

Can't wait to try this new thing. As my psp can't pass beyong 3.03 OE-C especially 3.10 OE due to some flash1 problem which i dunno why, hope I can install this.

smell like eggs. I wouldn't like a psp like that, I'll stick to 3.10OE !

   Re: Benji (Unregistered) - 2007-04-15
 » Hm

This video doesn't really prove much, it could have just been a bogus installer then he changed the FW number during the cut.. What's the point of even showing that installer if it doesn't do anything?

Oh well, hopefully it is real, cause I really would like to have 3.30.

Clearly fake, after a flash the default settings such as background colors and such are reflashed. According to that video they were the same after.. fake fake fake

Mathieulh confirmed over maxconsole that he sent this clip to magixien (pspgen admin). He registered his post. So it's real.

 » its real

you still cant see it?
its real

sombody said "its fake cuz the settings are restored such as font and backgrounds"

well check the begginning of the video and the ending. look the font is different. also in the ending, you first see a pink background with waves, then the pspgen background loads, it means that the autor set the background during the cut. and if you look carefully at the very begginning, at the left of the 3.30 OE-A eboot you can see a custom icon. then when the new CF is installed, the icons are normal.

Are you still going to claim its fake?

[maybe the cut was for the autor to put his background (pspgen one) to show what the site is and to save us time]

I'm glad they didnt decide to abandon working on this newer firmware.

I won't volunteer to be the first to try it on my PSP, but I will definitely be keeping up with the latest news.

ummm, yeah, don't hate all of us, just the ones like G.W Bush LOL!

Great work.

 » Wrong!

Well, I was going to stay awake for the release, but some math shows that the midnight release would actually but about 630 PM for us tomorrow. So, I do plan to be awake, but it saddens me that Qj would make such a dumb mistake and not account for the fact that they are from spain, thus the time is horribly off.

So, without further ado, I am going to say: Im going to bed! (disappointed)

Don't judge us by the QJ "staff"

has nothing to do with QJ staff
QJ staff clearly pointed out that they werent sure which time zone was referred to and yet this retard still thinks its a given that it will be US time
people should really learn to ***** read an article before they post.

Gah, all in all, what I meant was, why would Qj post something that would get people over excited, but if they had thought it out, they should have just said "later in the day" because it may be out by midnight, but the midnight they spoke of was midnight the next day.

Not just for america to, but for the whole world. Qj, you failed us on this one.

theres a cut in hte middle of the video and when it shows up the sytstem version it has the same background and stuff,something that when u flash a custom firmware will format the flash and leave it clean like the official fw

all he would have had to do is go into the pic and change it back, its not a custom backgorund just a wallpaper, and that could have stayed on the memstick through the whole process.

Also, you can hear that there is an UMD loading when he is turning it back on. I tought we were recommended to take out any UMD when we upgraded 0_0
anyway, I hope this is real. But this video is no proof!

hmm, how come we didn't get a little article on the extra features QJ,

also does is downgrade to 150 (from any 310/3.03 oe X) then ti 3.30 or do we need to be at 150 to run this downgrader,

jeez these must be the basics people wanna know, why are they inclued pfff...

where odes it say this is a downgrader??

   Re: FreePlay (Unregistered) - 2007-04-15
 » ...

He asked if you had to downgrade to 1.50 first, rather than run it straight from custom firmware. If the past trends continue, I'd say you can install it from 3.02 OE, 3.03 OE, or 3.10 OE.
   by KakTOC (Unregistered) - 2007-04-15
 » fake

I think it's fake. The person has changed (for example in HEX editor) installer from Dark_Alex so that instead of 3.10 OE-A showed 3.30 OE-A and instead of 3.10 showed 3.30. Then, simple with VersionChanger has changed number of firmware on 3.30 OE-A. There still it became visible that the screen completely black. IMHO.
