3.03 OE-A in the making, ISO compression confirmed

Posted Jan 3, 2007 at 4:15PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Firmware, Homebrew Applications, News Tags: IRC, ISO, PS1, psp firmware, Sony

OH YEAH!

Viet_mode told us recently of some stuff going on across the different forums and IRC chatrooms out there in the great wide cyberspace. It seems Dark_Alex has already begun work on 3.03 OE-A, which should allow all of us to enjoy PSX games on the latest firmware that Sony's concocted.

More importantly, current PopStation users will be happy to know that PSX ISO compression has been confirmed. The files you're using to play PS1 games shouldn't end up eating your memory sticks that badly now. For now, expect to hear of an actual 3.03 OE-A release before the week ends.

For now, we're linking to the QJ forum thread about this little development with very big implications for readers to check out. Whether you're from DCEmu or Maxconsole or from QJ, I think it's safe to say this is a great way to start off a new year. Cheers.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

I'm on 3.02OE-B, and I would love to shrink this FFVII I"m playing, so I can use more Homebrew ;). But I was wondering if anybody else is having the same problem as me. My battery life is terrible now! maybe it's just time for a new one (I've had this one for 1.5 yrs) or is it the emulator that's sucking my power so quickly. I've never drained my battery all the way out, but in the week or so after my upgrade I've drained it twice! Anybody?

# I just hope... — Guest 2007-01-03 17:41

that this isn't too much of a pain to install (by which i mean I hope someone makes one of them very friendly installers)

# 333 — Guest 2007-01-03 17:46

I think I read somewhere that they upped the processor to 333 in the emulator. It normally runs at 222 for everything else, (Unless set differently in some hombrew).

# Cant believe it — Guest 2007-01-03 17:48

DA you have to be 1 of the most ambitious coders ever, let alone on the psp scene. It's like 1 right after another. I'm on 3.02 OE-B right now and its great. As for the battery life thing, I havent noticed a change. Maybe its just that youre playing your psp more now that FFVII is on it :) Anyway, looking forward to the release, and thanks for all your hard work DA!

# At least a guide... — Rok 2007-01-03 17:50

That would be nice :-D hope it will be relesed soon :)

# What I hope to see next — axelixc 2007-01-03 17:51

1)Better No-UMD Support

2)More PS1 game bugs fixed (better compatibility)

3)Evolved popstation - to compress those PS1 games that has already been converted to eboot game

4)usbhostfs

5)nethostfs

6)fix the bug that cause custom gameboot crashes the ps1 eboot

7)fix the bug that cause any modified opening_plugin to crash the PS1 eboot (like erased off the gameboot PSP logo & change the reboot-startup sound)

8)suppor flashing of custom wallpaper

9)and everything else in 3.02oeb

Thank you...

# just wondering — Guest 2007-01-03 17:52

is there a region issue for PSX game on PSP? does it matter if i use Japan CD or US CD?? or do i need to do something to my 3.03 OE-A to fix that probleM?

# Lol :-D — Rok 2007-01-03 17:53

Then just wait for 3.03 OE-A :)

# Alex is a God! — Guest 2007-01-03 17:55

I vote we give him a holiday! We should! From now on, the 4th of January is DAX Day!

# thats a nice list.. — Guest 2007-01-03 17:57

but ill dought he can do all that in the next release we can only pray he does

# . — FLai 2007-01-03 17:57

This is out tomorrow.

# 333MHZ — Guest 2007-01-03 17:58

like Kleptoone said it runs at 333 in the emulator (according to everywhere) but theres some prx's that'll allow you to run it at 222 with a little lag i beleive the mp3 plug-in is one but im not sure also CWCheat the newest version i beleive has that option but m not too sure

# GREAT NEWS!! — Guest 2007-01-03 17:58

I been all over stores trying to find psx games luckily i saved my favorite ones.. Anyone got Tony hawk PS 1 2 3 to work??? I do got a 4gb but it aint enough...this will be great to compress them.......

Im still complainting on no background music for twisted metal...i remember playing that game parts 3 and 4 for hours and having the music all loud... THem tracks are sick...But im loving this version and its sick how we now upgrading just like sony.. our psp no longer sony haha.....ItS DAX now lol

Happy New years

keep up the good work

# . — Guest 2007-01-03 18:05

That pat on the back, is your brother asking for his turn.

# Hell yeah! — Guest 2007-01-03 18:05

Now hopefully i can fit Evil Zone on my 1 gb with my other stuff.

# NO UMD — Guest 2007-01-03 18:07

hoping he will fix the NO UMD issue for games like VCS, it doesnt work as well as it did in 2.71 SE-C

# :P — Guest 2007-01-03 18:09

nope

# updating — Guest 2007-01-03 18:10

If we're on 3.02 OE-B do we have to go back to 1.5, and then update to 3.03 OE-A?

or do we just run the firmware installer on 3.02 OE-B?

# Drama Fight! Drama Fight! — Guest 2007-01-03 18:11

Oh yes, let's insult each other on the internet. May the man with the largest ***** win!

# agree! — Guest 2007-01-03 18:17

I agree with axelixc about number 6 and 7...I really would like custom gameboots etc without messing up my psx emulation.

# Awesome! — Guest 2007-01-03 18:25

This is great news! Maybe when this comes out I'll be able to play final fantasy 7. I don't know how most of you got that to work, cuz mine gets to the new games screen and once clicked goes black, just like most all the psx games ive put on my psp, except for Crash Bandicoot.

# umm — Shirou 2007-01-03 18:28

Would we be able to compress the eboot.pbp game file somehow if it's possible? ..or only the PSX ISO? T__T I don't want to have to redownload all again since I've deleted them.

# yayah. — Ewin24 2007-01-03 18:35

Eagerly awaiting as ever, Alex, Harleyg, and mathieulh.

# To: wind region issue question — Guest 2007-01-03 18:35

From what I heard the only diff between US and the rest of the world is: US uses NTSC vid encoding, PAL for every1 else ... PSX2PSP already ahs a fix for this.

# SOOOOO LAAAATE! — Guest 2007-01-03 18:40

# wait ONE SEC.. — Guest 2007-01-03 18:53

I HAVE UP{GRADE MY 1.5 TO 3.02 OE-A then to 3.02 OE-B AND HES TELLING ME THAT theve came out with a BETTER 3.02 OE-A How the #$^@ am i going to get all the new fetures on mine if i already have 3.02 OE-B

Somone plz Explain to me this is not fair :@:@

Do i have to use recovery and go bak to 1.5 then upgrade to the new 3.02 OE-A because if thats true F this

and when the persons says

"which should allow all of us to enjoy PSX games on the latest firmware that Sony's concocted"

does this mean u dont have to upgrade,> u can use this in a DevHook To get the AWSOME PSX emulator with out haveing to upgrade to 3.02 OE-A (thx DA and others for 3.02 OE anyway:P)

im just wondering and someone plz explain to MEE!!!!!

# . — Guest 2007-01-03 18:56

1)Better No-UMD Support

Always works for me and i have 20+ isos.

# Re: — Guest 2007-01-03 19:03

notice that you're using 3.02 OE-B

this is 3.03 OE-A

# OK CALM DOWN — Guest 2007-01-03 19:09

All of the previous custom firmware updates have been upgradable through the lower custom firmware. Either using a quick easy update (SE-A to SE-B)or creating a file to install seperately(SE to OE-A or SE-B to SE-C). Seeing as this goes up to 3.03 it will probebly require you to make that data file.

Long story short.

U will be able to upgrade from 3.02 oe-b. If your feeling unsure, wait for an easy installer

# solution? — Guest 2007-01-03 19:18

i had that problem. then i got a different iso file and it worked perfectly. my suggestion would be to try a different iso.

# So probably.. — Guest 2007-01-03 19:22

PSX2PSP will needed to be updated so that it makes the .PBP with the new compression popstation :D?

# yeah right — axelixc 2007-01-03 19:30

probably u r lucky 2 hv 20 isos tat r compatible. wait till u hv more, den u'll know 3.02oeb has a lot of no-umd compatibility issue compare to 2.71se-c.

why i know? coz i tested 197 isos.

# . — Guest 2007-01-03 19:37

use alcohol 120% or crdwin to create your iso and they will work.

it does make a huge difference what program you use to rip

# yup — axelixc 2007-01-03 19:38

that's wat always make me sick about it. I wan my custom gameboot and custom opening_plugin back though now they r not compatible wif 3.02oeb....just hope he'll fix them.

# . — Guest 2007-01-03 19:40

the short answer is yes, but you might just get away with swapping out the .exe file with the new one.... maybe

but probably not

# i noe i noe dude u r da fastest — axelixc 2007-01-03 19:40

# damn it — Guest 2007-01-03 20:06

I don't know how many times this has been said before, But RIP YOUR ISOS IN .BIN FORMAT NOT .ISO FORMAT.

Trust me, it'll work then. Damn noobs

# Same problem! — Guest 2007-01-03 20:07

ye, I have that same problem! I was playing GTA:VCS perfectly on 2.71 SE-b and now I can't get it to run at all on 3.02 OE-B! is it possible that 3.03 OE-a could fix this or do I have to downgrade to finish the game?

# Get Glasses! — Guest 2007-01-03 20:15

this isn't even a case of reading the article properly, its a case of not reading the headline properly! 3.03 not 3.02!

1)no need of hot shots golf 2 for making your psx eboots (it's why i can't play my psx games :( ,im not going to illegally rip that game)

2)make it a straight update from 3.02 oe b

3)support for every homebrew game also playable in 1.50 (like the old ir shells)

4)get some fame DA... put your name in the about psp

thank you also...

# sds — Guest 2007-01-03 23:26

I was almost about to go to 3.02 OE-B from 2.71 SE-B, but now that I know 3.03 OE-A is gonna come out, I'm just gonna wait for that

# How many times? — Guest 2007-01-03 23:37

Use some google, jeeesus :( You can upgrade to OE only from 1.50 firmware or other custom firmwares (which needed 1.50 at some point anyway).

# easy installer — Guest 2007-01-03 23:48

Dark_AleXs installer already is easy! the only problem is making the dxar, I had problem with it on 2.71 SE, my guess is that I was using the japanese 2.71 eboot..

# ... — Guest 2007-01-03 23:55

Don't be, even if the installation would fail (because you do something wrong) you would still have the recovery menu (press R at boot) so that you can return to 1.50 and try again

# Tired — Guest 2007-01-04 00:01

I am little bit tired of upgrades...

I'll stick to 3.02 OE-B.

# thps 2 — Guest 2007-01-04 00:02

Yes, I've tried THPS 2 but there were big problems with it. I don't know if it's because it's originally PAL or if it is the game itself, but the faces (3D surfaces) keep disapearing around the player and not only visually.

If you skate over a face when it is disappeared you hover until you get something to stand on again... you could get quite impressive spins though (1080 and such).. But I'm hoping sony fixed that in 3.03 which would result in it being fixed on 3.03 OE too (for those that didn't already understand it)

# ISO — Guest 2007-01-04 00:07

I think PSX2PSP had a feature to extract the ISO from a eboot

# about old news — Guest 2007-01-04 00:10

Since this is more of a preview of coming news, posting it late will shorten the waiting time for the actual release :)

# lol @ those not upgrading — Guest 2007-01-04 00:24

I can understand those not upgrading to 3.03 OE-A if everything already works perfect in 3.02 OE (and they don't want to pwn sony a little bit by having the latest firmware PLUS homebrew) but for example that guy not upgrading from 2.71 SE is just weird, why not upgrade to 3.02 OE while waiting? maybe start ripping your PSX games and convert them?

# This is really DAX! — Guest 2007-01-04 00:48

Thanks for creating the DAXiest custom firmware out there.

You are simply the DAX!

# HELP!!! — Guest 2007-01-04 00:53

Just two things

1. I have 3.03 so does that mean im screwed or will that just upgrade to 3.03 OE-A without a problem?.

2. with the PS1 games, did you guys download them or can you get the files you need from the PS1 game that you already own??

ANY HELP WOULD BE FRIKKIN GREAT!!

# pal — Guest 2007-01-04 01:03

PAL games don't work well graphically, you need to get your hands on a ntsc version... same happened with my psx games, I had to get ntsc versions of all my pal games... apparently some of the popstation tools can (or will) convert pal games well... there just so many versions of the tool... gah

# read — Guest 2007-01-04 01:05

read the damn article, 3.03 fool

# waaa — Guest 2007-01-04 01:23

This would be a VERY nice birthday present! Being an owner of only a 1gb memory stick it does get annoying swapping games around all the time. But now, with compression confirmed, should be easier and better paying these games!

# Does this work... — Guest 2007-01-04 01:29

for USB host option; can someone explain how i can tap into my hard drive a la usb host? i noticed ir shell shows up as corrupted on 3.02 oe-b

# Dark Alex — Guest 2007-01-04 01:30

Dark Alex rocks. I mean is there something he can't do?

He have do anything!

He hacks every firmware update just in an week or two!

Thanks Dark Alex

# Nope, you're screwed — Guest 2007-01-04 01:32

Anything that isn't 2.80 or below, or already a 3.0x O-E custom firmware will have to sit on their thumbs until someone comes out with a suitable hack to downgrade them.

# PSP ISO Compression — Guest 2007-01-04 01:44

I have a few psp games backed up and running on Custom Firmware 3.02 OE-B.

However, is there any way i can compress them to a much smaller size?

# Can't wait — Guest 2007-01-04 03:22

For yet another piece of art from DarK_AleX, I'm eager to see what this EBOOT compression will be like as well.

Remember to donate to DarK_AleX if you've got some spare cash, this takes up his time and he puts alot of effort in. As well as the other coders! You can donate through his website, the official one that is!

# Guest 2007-01-04 04:14

I LOVE YOU DARK_ALEX!! WILL YOU HAVE MY BABYES????

# My suggestions — Guest 2007-01-04 04:19

1) Ability to make the DATA.DXAR on the computer (for people with 32mb memory sticks. Besides, is there any reason why the oeupdmaker has to run on a PSP?)

2) USB/nethostfs (again, for the 32mb people)

Compression sounds great for people with smaller memory sticks (unfortunately I doubt it'll be enough for 32mb :-P)

As you've probably guessed, I only have a 32mb MS.

Can you use "FOR NOW" in your report just one more time? Thanks buster...roll-over sparky.

# @coolguy5678 — Guest 2007-01-04 05:02

Yes, there is a reason why you have to run it on a PSP. Firmwares from version 2.80 and up are encrypted in such a way that they have to be decrypted for a specific PSP. This way oeupdmaker if able to decrypt the file specifically for your PSP. I also believe that it is actually illegal to modify Sony's copyrighted firmware files, however there's a loophole if the files are modified on the PSP since the official installer has to modify them anyway.

yea...thats why is still using 2.71 SE C man

# Because it's impossible.. — Guest 2007-01-04 05:47

Jack, because you're on Sony's official firmware 3.03 which isn't downgradable.

For example, I was on 1.5 firmware using devhook, then 3.02OE-A was released, so because I was on 1.5 firmware I could upgrade to 3.02OE-A.. from that I could upgrade to OE-B once it was released.

You'll only be able to get DA's new firmware once a downgrader for 3.03 comes out, which will probably be a long long time.

# tip — Guest 2007-01-04 06:59

Nothing I ripped in ISO format worked. Make sure you rip the raw files with no conversion and hopefully you get one file in BIN format. Some games like Resident Evil DC have 2 BIN files but I converted using the larger one and it worked.

# Toshinden, Soul Blade and others — Guest 2007-01-04 07:06

Does anyone know what the compression ratio will be, will you be able to compress the eboot directly or do you have to go back to the beginning of making the eboot, will Tomb Raider PSX work, will Battle Arena Toshinden series and Soul Blade play at better speeds?

# 3.03 — Guest 2007-01-04 07:28

The 3.03 firmware we're talking about is an emulated firmware. It's not the actual Sony update.

# YOUR GAY — Guest 2007-01-04 07:30

Ha Ha *****got. Maybe you should go back to 1st grade and learn to count this time.

# TonyHawk PS 2 — Guest 2007-01-04 07:37

I got Tony Hawk ps 2 to run but there were a lot of graphical problems. It wasnt really playable. T.J Lavins Ultimate BMX, Gran Turismo 2, + NASCAR 2003 all worked great for me though.

# . — Guest 2007-01-04 07:42

I just put mine in the GAME folder (I set it up to use 1.50 homebrew.) You only need the one EBOOT generated by popstation or whatever GUI you use.

maybe YOU should go back to 1st grade and learn how to spell!

# not all of them work — Guest 2007-01-04 07:45

I couldn't get Tomb Raider 1 or 2 to work. I haven't tried Revelations, but TR 3 and Chronicles are confirmed working. If you rip the game and you get more than one BIN file, usually they don't work.

# Sweet. — Guest 2007-01-04 07:49

Just downgraded my 2.8 to 1.50, then upgraded to 3.02 OE-B... And now 3.03 OE-A is announced with ISO compression... This is a good week...

# Hey... — Guest 2007-01-04 07:59

# 3.03 OE-A is OUT!! — Guest 2007-01-04 08:25

It's out *****es!! QJ is way slow on this *****! MaxConsole rules!

# . — Guest 2007-01-04 08:31

Not all of Dark Alex's firmware updates have it included. I think there is one with the 3.02 OE-A download. I wouldn't use the one from the 2.71 SE versions.

Some games just don't work with custom firmware. Luamines also doesn't work. I thought I read about a converter somewere on this site but I can't find it. Anybody out there know about it?

# poor sony — Guest 2007-01-04 08:34

I bought 6 playstation games at EB games for less than $10! Sure beats $20-$50 each for a PSP game! On the small screen the graphics of PS1 games seem much better than I remember.

# is out already!!stupid slow qj — Guest 2007-01-04 08:37

yo qj is so slow and lazy to do research but onli check other forum to see if they released it yet anways the point is 3.03OE-A is out.

No it isn't

# . — Guest 2007-01-04 09:01

So what's psx??

# What? — Guest 2007-01-04 09:10

So how'd you get Evil Zone one your psp? I've been wondering if I could do that. I have no clue what I'm doing though.

# no its not possible — Guest 2007-01-04 13:57

it still says you need to activate. a program that would bypass this activation when converting the ps1 games to eboot.pbp would have been way better than this 3.03 OE-A crap.

# yes it works — Guest 2007-01-04 18:25

factory t-82 2.6 -> 2.71 -> 1.5 -> 3.03 OEA - 3.03 OEB . IT does work and is possible just make sure to fallow instructions exactly

# Dark Alex "walks on Water" — Guest 2007-01-04 23:13

# ISO Directory for 3.03 Custom firmware — Guest 2007-02-02 07:02

Install the custom firmware just fine. But where in the heck do you put you ISO's at? They are not showing up on the psp. The read me file for the FW says "ISOS are shown under memory stick games." Please help.
