Custom Firmware 3.02 OE-A released by Dark_AleX! |
Ó
If the great news with regards to 2.80 kernel dumping wasn't enough for those who were on lower firmwares, Dark_AleX's latest release of 3.02 OE-A will definitely make your day! Don't worry, while the name makes it sound like a totally different hack, it is in essence, just like the earlier SE firmwares. What you get with the latest version is amazing to say the least.
Here's the full list of new features in 3.02 OE-A:
- 3.02 Custom Firmware - 3.02 firmware environment with 1.50 homebrew capability.
- Can run homebrew using 3.02 kernel
- UMD Video region free
- PSP kernel region selector
- O/X button selector
- WMA enabling option
- Flash player enabling option
- Pops (SCE PSONE emulator) - DRM protection hacked (Which means that you can now your game on more than one psp, and share them over the internet)
Generating the DATA.DXAR:
- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME/ if you are using 1.50 firmware and to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are using whatever version of 2.71 Se.
- Get the 1.50 and 3.02 Update eboots in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".
- Run oeupdmaker. This program will create a file called DATA.DXAR in the same directory (oeupdmaker).
- The program will verify that the SHA-1 of the generated file is correct.
- Once that you have done this, you can save the DATA.DXAR file to skip this step in the future.
- Copy the directories oeflasher and oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME (or /PSP/GAME150 if you are on 2.71 SE)
- Copy the generated DATA.DXAR from oeupdmaker to oeflasher directory.
- Run the flasher. If your battery is less than 75%, the program will show the error saying so and will return you to the XMB. This check can be by passed at your own risk by executing the program with triangle and L pressed.
- The program will continue showing an agreement. Press X to accept and flash the custom firmware, or R to cancel and exit to the XMB.
- If you accept, the program will flash the custom firmware. Don't shutdown the PSP and don't remove the memory stick.
- Once finished, shutdown the psp and restart manually to 3.02 OE :)
Again, the latest release is nothing more than revolutionary, the key features being 3.02 VSH and the PSONE emulation hacks. Unfortunately, this release is not aimed at TA-082 users, so all the TA-082ers will have to keep wishing and praying for some magic. For the rest who're on their 2.71 SE firmwares, this represents the next golden firmware...Enjoy!
(A last minute note - occasionally this program will result in a blue screen error, but this is not harmful. Just restart and try again.)

Same here!
Woo. I'll be upgrading from 2.71 SE-C To this. Definitely
where do you get the US 3.02 firmware?
i dont want to get fooled again and this seems too good to be true...somehow i feel like this is a fake
this is not gonna work on ta-082 mobo right???
Do we have to flash our PSP to use this?
I just downgraded by psp and i am new to the homebrew thing and i would like to know what do i need to play ps1 games on my psp and i know i probably need this custom firmware.
QJ needs to post the new file that was upload by D_A, this one doesnt include the MD5 and SHA1, if they arent included, many may end up with bricked PSP's, either the two should be posted or has to be added to the file, thnxs.
im a god damn 082
woot!
I can't wait for a 2.80 downgrader so I can flash this!! : )
What does OE stand for?
OE = Open Edition
I need a 3.0 downgrader stat!
is this as safe as updating from 1.5 to 2.71 SE-C?
cuz i haven't even built up the nerve to update to that....and if i'm gonna update...this is wat i want 2 update to
PLEASE! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
nice work Dak-Alex thx for this but 1 question what does OE stand for?
i can comfirm this working i just did it YAY IM THE FIRST!
I Submitted this but got no credit. Maybe they found it before me? Oh well... Nice job dark alex. I'm making a tutorial on how to install it as we speak on the forums.
damn need a 2.8 downgrader (hopefully soon) then im sure as hell getting this
gpSP 0.9, now this!
cant u just download it from the maxconsole link? im sure its fine.
Yes, you have to flash your PSP to install this, but don't be a sissy...If your battery is over 75% you should be fine.
U CANT GO INTO SYSTEM SETTINGS!!!! NOOOO!!!!
Don't know why it's not hosted here, but here's a link to it from a legitimate source.

will this work on a 3.00 psp?
where can i get the ps1 games for free ME WANT NOW!!!
TRIED AND CONFIRMED WORKING
NOT FAKE
I have one noob question...
how do u play ISO and CSO games if your PSP is 3.02 OE?
also, does 3.02 OE means when i turn on my PSP it's in 3.02 version already but also about to do everything 1.5 does (load homebrew and stuff)??
sorry for the noob question, someone tell me please...
Make sure ur MD5 or SHA1 is below, and EXACTLY the same, if not, u may be looking at a bricked PSP, good luck.

Major breakthrough. Well done DA, keep up the good work, and thank for not quiting on us.
Love n kisses to Dark XOXOXOXOXOXO :)
keep the good work up.
The DXAR creater program checks the SHA-1 for you
no need to worry
ta-079 i gots that geezy
Let stand up a give da man a round of applause !
I downloaded it at maxconsole anyway.
Merry early Christmas. I got the present Santa_Alex aka Dark_Alex. Have U ? Woooooooooohooo ooooooo !!!!
really though. has ANYONE tried this yet?
BTW Dark_Alex U are the Man!!!!!
download it there
Since I don't have a PS3 (for PS1 games), the only reason for me to update to this would be so I can play higher firmware games without devhook. I really wanted the mp3 visualizer, but that's not listed as a feature. Since 2.71 SE's flash is already nearly full, and I like my custom gameboots/font/background, I don't have much of a reason to upgrade to this, which will have even more limited flash memory. I knew DAX wouldn't leave the scene forever... making psp homebrew is what he does best! I'm glad he's finally back. I hope in future OE releases, something is done about the low flash space like having features like RSS and LocationFree disabled and make it so we can have files on our memory sticks and load those features from our memory sticks if we want the features anyway.
u can use the visiualizer and stop being to lazy u mook
I wonder what OE stands for
Whats with the cracked PS1 games? Running ISOs at least has some legitimacy, as people can dump their legally owned games onto their Memory Stick and play them, thus meaning only the people who have no morals pirate the games. But cracking the DRM protection is doing nothing more than letting people pirate the PS1 games....I am disappointed with this...but the rest is a great accomplishment!
Just tried it, and its working, no problems. Great job!
r the iso/cso like 2.71 Se, where it in the game section already?
I'm crying now. 3.02 Open Edition Revision A....next gonna be OE-B....B'....B".....OE-C ! Go Dax Go !
IT MEANS OPEN EDITION READ THE OTHER DAMN POSTS
Tried it, works fine.
I dont care if im First!!!! or last but THANKX YOU D_Alex im going to try this now
download it there...
So does this mean that people can now share PS1 games ver the internet for 3.0+ users to use?
I wonder if this has all of the features of 2.71 SE and the 3.02? I want to make sure I can still load my ISOs and my homebrew!
More good news for the old PSP users (soon to be minorities since the TA-08*'s are taking over soon if not already) If they keep updating old hardware we (TA-08*'s) will loose interest on the PSP + the death to the PSP homebrew community.
thanx man, but how do u play ISO and CSO in 3.02 OE? do u still load devhook 0.51 and jump to another 3.02 fw and load the ISO? or is there a way to load the ISO directly from the 3.02 OE?
thanx
BRICKED!!
damnit
This is beautiful.
Thanks guys!
ok, It won't turn on but I can go into recovery, what shoudl I do???
And a merry Christmas to all and to all pirated PS1 games. Goodnight.
holly testicles of jesus!!!!!!!! DARK ALEX IS THE MAN!!!! i can't wait to try this out........i knew i was gonna get a good x-mas gift from Perfectdark alex!!!
I can't use iRShell in 2.71 mode, ah well, I'm still going to use this over 2.71se-c, thank you Dark Alex, you are so awesome...I love you so much!
is it buggy and does the visualizer work???
he said he MAY quit the scene, not that he will
all I know is that this thing works.
sweet.
same here (me three)
THIS IS THE BEST CHIRSTMAS GIFT I EVERY GOT this is soo awsome i allway know that firmware can be hack and make it better for the homebrew.
are you able to go bad to 1.5 after this
I'm at the other side of the globe. Here is 11:32 am (22 Dec 06 - 1/2 day faster) as I'm typing. Well goodnight over there.
how do i get irshell 3.0 to work?
Can someone upload a vid on youtube with 3.02 oe-a?
Hey, ive bin doing homebrew stuff for ages! but have never used on of these custom firmwares before. If i install this does tis mean i can go back down to 1.5 firmware if i want, and isnt this just the same as 3.02 on devhook just thats its the default firmware when u start up? if so why is this so good? any help or replys is greatly appreciated.
I have a 2.80 psp do any of u's no if i can install 3.02 OE to my psp.im not sure cuz it does not say any thing about it thx guys
Open Edition.
Yes, Yes, Yes, it all works perfectly, a fast and easy installation also. Thank you DA. And many more updates to come hopefully.
This is confirmed working with no flaws by me!
... i may require a change of underwear
Also, can I go back to my 1.5?
Would this allow for someone to downgrade after they install this in the case that they prefer 1.50?
Works great!!! Can't wait to play around some more.
works great but...
CWCHEAT.....doesnt work..
X-F lash....doesnt work...
MP3 modules...dont work....
i know in time thease things will be upgraded but its a bummer man.still it works better than those other poser hackers who stole dax's SE title
I'm getting a BSOD every time I go into system settings :(
WILL THIS GET ME A GF?
first off..
***** yeah! show those a$$es at S*ny what the homebrew community is made of!
however, i'm just a little tenative about upgrading... i'm gonna wait to see either updates or more, verifiable comments...
and 2 questions:
does this have 100% (or as in 2.71 SE, 99%) homebrew compatability? as in all 1.0, 1.5, 2.0+ ?
and did he do this from scratch or just add on to the tried and true 2.71 SE? i'd feel better if i knew it wasn't all new...
i'm gonna wait a day or two. thank you DA
Bricked?? Did you do something wrong or did it just get bricked when installing 3.02 OE correctly?
have a 2.80 psp do any of u's no if i can install 3.02 OE to my psp.im not sure cuz it does not say any thing about it thx guys
learn english before you ask questions!
Can we downgrade 1.5 if dont like it?
yes danmit, yes. how many times to people need to ask?!
Works perfect but to be safe disable all your plugins before you upgrade.
I'm so f**king happy. This is great indeed, I will enjoy this Christmas pressent. Thanks Dark_Alex, I'm indeed grateful!!!! Merry Christmas!!!
You are like GOD Dark Alex.. U are the best!!!!!!!!
DA, I can't thank you enough for all the hard work you do. Happy holidays!
POST #100 !
shut up u A** hole if u dun like it dun use it
some of them already own the ps1 game just bcoz they wan to play it on psp then they need to pay again ????
Ok I'm not a noob or anything i just need some n()()b info about cust fws, i have been running devicehook 0.5.1.100 + 3.0.2 and most new games don't work all old games work fine.
1. i have had flash my psp with the old 0.5.0 DeviceHook to emulate 2.8.2 with the X-flash "option 11" so do i need to unflash before trying this? if so how from devhook or..?
2. when i do this how do i / can i go back to old 1.5 psp and never run cust fw?
3. how dose the Recovery mode work and what are the access buttons , also how to you access it if you brick your psp after using this
4. ISO / CS/ DAX: how do you load them on a cust fw do you just place all the CS& ISO's in PSP/GAME/ folder and run psp and select them?
please help me out with this due to me not trusting CUST Fws i have always been a 1.5 +devhook user
Nice work Dark_Alex.
I just found out about this custom firmware thing. I'm currently on 1.5 and using the latest DH for 3.02, but I'm just wondering, is having the 3.02 custom firmware better than doing it off Devhook? Any major advantages? Also would it be possible to downgrade back to 1.5 from the custom firmware? Because I just feel like 1.5 is the default and everything can run on it, I just don't wanna get stuck on an updated firmware.
I BRICKED IT ! >_<
Recovery works though.... I used american 1.5 eboot and JP 3.02 eboot.... maybe that is why?
just so everyone knows, cause they don't say it on this page, NO-UMD DOESN'T WORK! it said in the readme. i have officially exterminated umds from my life, so i'm gonna wait.
The Location Free Player no longer works. It still in the XMB but it doesn't work. The "Read Me" says he took it out to save space in the flash0. It was getting too full. The Korean language is also gone.
idunno but if there is another realese im going to wate for that 1 so im not updating yet.
Hey any1 know about Daedalus R9 and its realese???
The way you play them is that, they are re-routed to the game section in the PSP, so u dont need another launcher, just launch them from GAME, even if there in the ISO folder ( a little hidden feature from dark_alex :)
That is because i use that same thing you did, and mine is working fine, no BSoD anywhere, running pretty smoothly.
http://rapidshare.com/files/8478716/302OE.rar
IM ON IT NOW IT WORKS...
But i had 2 wait liek a millyon owerz B 4 my batterie wazz 75%...
I think i just shat my pants. Thanks DAX! Merry Christmas! ~NAte
No UMD is not working as previously stated...
ISO/CSO loading from XMB works as usual with UMD though...
same here (me four) lmao
so right now i have a 1.5 and with this i can run 3.2 and homebrew will i be able to go back to 1.5 when i want or will it stay in 3.2 and i can play ps1 roms at full speed?????
you have to put the homebrew in a folder called GAME150
People that have installed this, can you get to the system settings?, ive installed it and it gives me an error, then the screen with the press O to fix bs, and it wont let me press O
nope nope nope. i think u gay. so u still get gf - gay friend....hahahahaha
its is good b/c you can load isos from game menu, and have a combination of 1.5, 3.2 features. you can downgrade back to 1.5 after installing recovery folder and holder R BUTTON when restarting
what does Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".mean
Since no one is answering me i aint gonna try this dam :(
Work's for me, I've only tried my backup of DBZ SB, and it worked, i guess some games do and don't work now.
to go back to 1.5 you have to install recovery folder and whenever your psp is "bricked" you just holder the R button and it reflashes 1.5.
Can i use this F/W?
Anyone tried this on 2.80 TA-082 ?
it means rename the 1.50 and 3.02 eboots to 150.pbp and 302.pbp and put them into the oeupdmaker folder.
Will this work on a 2.8?
I tried making the DATA.DXAR but it failed, twice.
Can somebody complie that then host it?
After I manually restarted the system, it was still on 2.71 SE. When i when to system settings it gave me an error and gave me a BSOD. After that, the psp restarted and after reseting all the settings, it worked perfectly.
still need a ps3 for psone emulation??
am i the only one wondering if these *shared* ps1 games can be played on devhook 0.51?
i mean they should be able to right?
where do i get the 1.50 eboot
tried this and ti works great so far! off to test it more
once you get to oe3.01 are you able to downgrade?
Does this version play iso's?
Is it really worth it?
http://www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=4
didn't brick me, no problems at all. probably a fake.
ive tried to start the 3.02 oe-a updater maker several times but it says game could not be started
someone please help
right....location free player n korean language r removed purposely to compensate memory space
god i jus love the homebrew community day by day my psp increases in value b.c of this...i was jus bout to sell now imma stick with 2.71 se cuz there not reason fro this unless i have a ps3 but then again i might update for the music viz lolahghahaha
DA u the *****!!
I updated and this rocks!
I was wondering if it's possible to make this into a real update so I can use it on my 3.00. Is it?
does this mean if your already running 302 you cant use this
can someone help me- where do i put my ps1 games? like in the game folder or wat?
make it a sam adams
the download for this custom firmwre has a flasher for recovery so u can flash it to 1.5 again. put the flasher dealie in ur game folder with the 1.5 eboot in the same folder (i think u rename it from "eboot.pbp" to "update.pbp"), reboot into the recovery menu and "run program at /psp/game/recovery.eboot.pbp". should bump u back to 1.5 land and alls well from there. ***** happens, just try it again. ive had bad custom firmware installs but u can always repair or undo anything u flash from that recovery menu so dont panic.
I *****ing love this guy. He continues to make his awesome releases even on the brink of trouble (the fake Dark_Alex scandal), and does the supposedly impossible.
Dark_Alex for the win!!!!
apparently you have to have bought the ps1 game from the ps3 store to get some kind of key file to allow the game to be played......
The answer is No.
Sorry.
I just need the PSX games!
everything works, not buggy at all. only prob is u cant goto system settings/web browser or itl crash, which sucks for now, but this is better than the last attempt at a 3.x custom firmware, much more stable
it doesnt work 4 me
it breaks 1.50 homebrew compatibilty (i get the gameboot screen, then it turns off)
and i ALWAYS get a BSoD when i go to settings
just try it. devhook is all fine and dandy but why would you want to load an app to then load the iso u want when u can run em all from the xmb? ur weiner wont fall off if u try it, 2.71 se-c is a bit more stable in the sense that pretty much everything works fine, only flaw w/this release is no web browser and it crashes when u enter "system settings". probly will be fixed very soon tho. 1.5 is great, but these custom firmwares are worth it, as long as dark_alex is behind emm +o)
Ok i have installed this and now i want to reinstall 1.5 fw on my psp how do i do that please some one replay!
Since updating, gpsp has not been working well. It works at times but most of the time it doesn't. Anyone else?
Read every post BEFORE the one you just posted. It has been posted several times.
--Boot up the psp, while holding R.
Or read the readme.txt included with the download.
I hate you guys, this is the reason why Sony keeps on releasing more security updates, is so strict with blocking you guys out and doesn't release many new features because of BS like this: Pops (SCE PSONE emulator) - DRM protection hacked (Which means that you can now your game on more than one psp, and share them over the internet). Sharing games over the internet with hacked DRM protection, I hope Sony sues dark alex and puts an end to all of this.
how do u get the oeupdmakerfile and then get the DATA.DXAR file
i just wanted to make sure where, when you flash prx's to flash, exactly are they flashed
to flash0 or flash1
i don't want to mess with the firmware if it's on flash1
great job D_A!
Share your game!
READ THE README!!!!
also, when it boots up, system settings and the web browser will crash the psp. press circle. it will reboot and BOTH WORK FINE!!!!!!!!
if i later want to actually upgrade to a new firmware, will i have to downgrade back to 1.5? will i be able to?
Anyone know, where someone shares the *****ing ps1 eboots?
will this install onto fw 2.80
Damn i just decided to install 2.71 se-c yesterday and now this ... i guess ill install it fearing every second that it will brick with those occissional short stops. But then again 3.02 with homebrew!!!! Thanks dark_alex
Can someone explain "recovery mode" to me.
I have firmware 1.5 and would go to this 3.02-OE for the ease of use and people make it sound like you can hold R at start up and it will downgrade you to 1.5.
Am I correct?
what was that? the sound of one amongst hundreds?!
the files themselves aren't hacked. It's the firmware. And if you don't like it, stay the **** away and keep your mouth shut.
Oh. Okay. Because it's open like a hooker's vagina
Can you downgrade ur psp after u update to this current haxed fw? lets say i wna go back to 1.5 or something can i do it?
No, you STFU you f'ing pirate.
Can I play my own ps1 back ups with 3.02 OE or do they have to come from the Sony Shop?
I cant believe no-one hasnt already asked this.....
Damn I just decided to installed 2.71 SE-C yesterday. Well i guess ill try this and fear those occissional short pauses. THANKS Dark_AleX
It isn't illegal to back purchased games in another location for later use.
sure can i have went up and down twice now
Using recovery menu
-------------------
- To enter in recovery menu, press R when power on the psp.
The recovery mode lets to set options, and it lets to recover potential bricks, as soon as
the 1.50 bootstrap is intact.
YAY i really want 3.x on my psp since devhook v50 but devhook was not stable but now i can run my HB and ISO and UMD with 3.02 magic. ^_^ Great Job Dark Alex Great Job. and Great Job For Pspupdate for the breaking news.
Do we have to run this on 1.5? Or can we upgrade to it from whatever, homebrew enabled firmware (like 2.80 with eLoader)?
Dark_Alex!! You have done it again, man you are a talented coder!
Where can i donate?
omg lol
No one asked because everyone allready knows the answer to it.
this isnt a lie. i just loaded up socom 2*online rip* without a umd in the slot.well there was a umd in the slot but i had the door open. dunno if anyone knew of this but i just tested it out. great work alex. merry christmas everyone
CAN ANYONE HELP...I RAN OEUPDMAKER, I INCLUDED THE 1.5 AND 3.02 UPDATE EBOOTS IN THE OEUPDMAKER FOLDER..RAN THE PROGRAM, AND I GET THE MESSAGE "CANT OPEN 150.PBP..." THEN THE PSP REBOOTS ITSELF...ALL I END UP WITH IS AN EMPTY DXAR FILE THAT WONT WORK WITH OEFLASHER...CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A PROB RUNNING ANY KIND OF APP BEFORE...SO IF I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS...I WILL HAVE NO PROB CORRECTING THE INSTALL...THANKS....PSPHAX
its way worth it. its super sexy. and yes. you can play isos straight from the xmb. all the isos you put in the ISO folder show up under your game folder on the menu.
Thanks Dark Alex for this, however cracking the ps1 games for piracy is not my choice of being a consumer of any kind.
Look guys, Sony wants to make money, of course, we can all understand this, but why are we stooping so low on getting free games? Sony made these PS1 games available for your PSP. Isn't it respectful to at least give them of what they actually deserve?
If this illegitamacy continues, everyone will not remember the names of coders of the people who gave hope on making the PS1 emulator, resulting that their work has been in vain. Also everyone will be filled with hypocrisy, saying Sony sucks, and don't even say thanks to the games and the emulator they made available on you handheld? This isn't the homebrew community that I once seen as coders to unite and make their own applications for other people, but now I see this community as another step of piracy.
I just upgrade my psp from 2.71 CFW SEC to 3.02, everything's fine. More game now can be played without UMD. Bravo DA!!!
Can someone give me the link to a DATA.DXAR? I am using dial-up and don't have the time to download both firmwares.
It has to b from the Sony Shop but now people can load these ps1 "port games" and share...because the DRM was hacked
Thank you for sticking around and helping those of us who dont have the "powers" to manipulate sony's creations(FW Updates) this is nothing short of amazing.....
so if i have 2.8 can i update it using this? or will it brick my psp
I just charged and updated baby!
And if you go to the system settings the first time it will blue screen, but after a restore everything will work :)
the mp3 visualizer is in this fw version
sam adams! hella funny dude . good one
Can I install thing on a PSP that has 3.1 on it? It's also a old PSP so it doesn't have the new protection.
I got it to install and get to the VSH, but it wouldn't run any games... homebrew, locoroco demos, or UMDs. Got the BSoD on settings a few times 'till I popped the MS out and then it finally let me fix my flash1.
I used the recovery console to retreat to 2.71 SE-C.
As far as I could tell, everything worked but the games... maybe I did something wrong. I'll try again later, or maybe wait for OE-B.
Will this work on my 2.80?
lol, this isnt a forum.
What I think he meant was click this:

OE-A + Open Edition - *****
This has about the same chance of bricking your PSP as a piece of Kraft Cheese.
Upgrade, man! If you get a "partial brick" at any point, theres always a recovery console, which you can use to enable USB and/or downgrade back to 1.5! Id like to see any (non custom) 1.5 users claim that ability.
lol

nuff said
what is the compatability for homebrew/iso's like??
i had devhook 3.02 but went back to devhook 271/281 hybrid because loads of games stopped working!!!
?
Got to love this Dark Alex
can we use the same dxar used in installing the 3.02 devhook?
sorry if this has been asked I didnt read all 200 posts
for the last time, you can go into settings or web browser, and it'll give you the error screen. Then, adjust the settings to their proper placements, and confirm...it'll never happen again. Stop giving the firmware a bad rep because you're a water-headed retard.
Install Method is exactly the same as SE-C. Only difference is Location Free feature has been removed due to limitation of the Flash memory size.
Also 3.0X firmware also moves the folders MOVIE, MUSIC, and PHOTO out of the PSP folder to the root folder. Also PHOTO has been renamed to PICTURE.
if anyone is in 1.5 or 2.71 SE upgrade asap because this has everything u need it in devhook but 100% Stable. i ran smackdown vs raw UK and it frezze only in the videos but when i quit a game guess what it dont crash, i test family guy iso and it ran so smooth and no problem. going to test more games. gta vcs work on umd now. gba emu works on 3.02 ^_^ this is a xmas gift from Dark Alex.
PS this can run any iso to date now and all the things u want in 3.02.
well if there wasn't ***** like this, WE WOULDNT HAVE ANY FKING HOMEBREW RTARD
WHY DO YOU CARE ANYWAY? GO USE YOUR OFFICIAL 3.03 Q-UEER.
Almost everything you say is true... there is only one problem.. sony didnt made ps1 games available for every psp owner.. since you need to buy the expensive and rare ps3 to get those ps1 games!!
Homebrew not working -.- whats the name of the both GAME folders? Game and GAME302?
DARK ALEX is amazing
but he took out the 'location free player and korean font'
renamed to GAME271 and deleted all plugins -> working :) :)
All you need to do is goto the web browser on your psp and it will dl the game to your system, and then you can save it on a computer. Or just find the url for the playstation store and goto it on the computer, and just save the ps1 games on your computer.
i was just wondering where are you guys getting the 3.02fw us edition? I can only find the JP edition?
PEOPLE SAY YES IF U ARE STAYING AT 1.5 AND USING DEVHOOK TO EMUATE FW 3.02 AND NO IF U ARE INSTALLING THIS...YES FOR ME...
GOOD JOB DARK_ALEX EVEN THOUGH I NVR INSTALL THIS...
I think this just bricked my PSP. I id everything as instructed, everything went fine. When it told me to "Restart the PSP manually" I did, and now it wont start. The screen lights up, but then crashes. I held L to see if there was some sort of recovery, no dice.. Can anyone help me?
you have to press the R button
LMAO. Wow, I feel retarded. Thanks.
I wonder when the TA-Users can get the same thing since we're still emulating 3.01 off 2.71.
Kudos to DAX!
This is some great news! Dark Alex is insane! You the shiznit. Though im sticking to my 1.5 for now. I wish i could load up the custom firmware's with DH instead. But keep up the good work yo!!
HOW YOU RUN PS1 ON THIZZZZ I'M CRAKZZZZZ
will this work on 2.80???
same here!
http://www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=937
Hope this helps, since QJ.net has the Japanese eboot. This is the 3.02 *Official* US firmware.
'Pops (SCE PSONE emulator) - DRM protection hacked (Which means that you can now your game on more than one psp, and share them over the internet)'
THANK YOU SO MUCH Dark_AleX !!
can u still do play the iso/cso from the game menu
***** + Blender + 3.03 PSP!
P-e-n-i-s + Blender + 3.03 PSP!
CAN ANYONE HELP...I RAN OEUPDMAKER, I INCLUDED THE 1.5 AND 3.02 UPDATE EBOOTS IN THE OEUPDMAKER FOLDER..RAN THE PROGRAM, AND I GET THE MESSAGE "CANT OPEN 150.PBP..." THEN THE PSP REBOOTS ITSELF...ALL I END UP WITH IS AN EMPTY DXAR FILE THAT WONT WORK WITH OEFLASHER...CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A PROB RUNNING ANY KIND OF APP BEFORE...SO IF I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS...I WILL HAVE NO PROB CORRECTING THE INSTALL...THANKS.
stfu are you a neonazi???in german your name means hitler and heil me is sth that hitler always say
THIS IS NOT DARK ALEX!!!!
YOU WILL BRICKED YOUR PSP!!!
i have 2 hrs with this and i have to say dont even think using devhook v51 for your games anymore because this is 5x better then devhook will ever be. stable and psp ram and memory stick friendly.
i have a while testing this and i got to say, it so stable, u can run anything on this and it wont crash.
as for devhook, no problem u wont even miss it. the 3.02 SE-A is the new devhook with 100% Stable and u can enjoy your HB programs.
its very easy to play iso or ciso on 3.02 SE-A. put your iso in the iso folder. to play, to run the ciso or iso, go to games and u going to see your game iso video thing, easy no.
same here
really this works for you? ISO/CSO loading i mean.
i have etested like five games and none work straight from XMB.(theyll load w devhook though) am i doing something wrong?
and you can download them from someone who has a PS3
Now, lets get serious people.
Will this let me play Gran turismo or what?
Thanks D_A!
No you can't install it from 2.80, but it seems like there will be a downgrader soon and then you can install it from 1.50
is works coz i've launched MGS PO, GTA vice city and a few other isos frm xmb under games and no problems loading, playing or saving.
Wonderful job DA!
nope, but there might be a 2.80 downgrader soon
it works now!!!!!! dunno what i did but now it worx! yayyyyyyy
wow. thatsa pretty great feature list. cant wait until some psone games come out that are worth my while. im still on harley g 0.2 custom, but this is just about enough to get me upgraded. great work Dark_Alex, merry xmas to ya =]
seems that xautoboot prx plugin won't work anymore. Enabling it frm the recovery menu only causes psp the hang without loading even the xmb :) In fact I think a lot of the plugins do not work with this version of custom firmware... But great stuff though :)
Can I use both methods:
1. Load ISO/CSO directly from game -menu.
2. Open Devhook and load ISO/CSO from there.
Are both of them working?
how i disable the plugins in 2.71 SE
Quoted by FORD: saw the link and I clicked, expecting to post first cuz it said 0 comments, but when It oaded 3 posts had been posterd already
Damn thats all you care about? Before you theres like 12-15 replies and all you care is about that? F***ing loser get a life.
Anyways Dark Alex thanks alot man wasnt expecting this to come so soon
hi guy, has this got recovery so i can down back to 2.71 se c, and all the cool custom stufs in recovery too?
I have some problems i've installed it about 3 times but i get the same problem a restore my definitios before installing, then i install it and when i enter the menu MUSIC it crash, going to menu System Settings and puff BSOD and if i press O don't quit, when trying to play a ISO psp crash on splash screen and shut down.
you just need one dummy folder in
root:\psp\game\
have hide corrupted icons off
have no umd on
put the iso in
root:\iso\
when in memstick you should see two icons
one corrupted and your iso
THIS BRICKED MY FRIENDS PSP I DONT KNOW HOW BUT IT DID HE JUST TOLD ME ON THE PHONE SO I AM NOT GOING TO TRY IT I AM GOING TO WAIT A WEEK.
ANYWAYS THANKS FOR THE NICE WORK DARK ALEX I LOVE YOU AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING.
Make sure you get the official updates off www.psp-hacks.com and name them both 302 and the other 150. then place in the 'oeupdmaker' then just run it it took me 10 minutes to complete it but just leave it going then flash
gives you 302 firmware
WORKS AMAZING
DARK ALEX rules how do you do it
i am only 12
yes you can
Does anyone know where I can get some of these PSX games from someone who has a PS3? Im sure posting a link to them isnt allowed, but any hints? Other than "USE GOOGLE" because ive tried that xD.
Ok can anyone tell me why this is better than a 1.50 PSP with devhook 0.56. I dont see any advantages to having this junk. Bye.
i hope they come up with an easy installer for cf-oea
use yahoo then
never mind I just used the easy installer by chaos.
man i got a ta psp i wish i can use this
lol
This is amazing news, keep it up Dark_AleX!
i upgraded to this from 2.71SE-C.can i downgrade back to 2.71SE-C?
IT'S NOT ON HIS SITE BECAUSE IT'S A FAKE!!!
download easy installer by chaos (30 mb though hehe just leave your pc during the night)
holy *****...i was not expecting this...i'm gonna install this right away...clearly the best psp homebrew of the year :D:D
dark alex...u r *****in talented, and hacked ps1 emulation so we don't need a ps3...
haha...neway..better not say nething else until i've tried it
what is wrong with u noob
because it starts up in this, no having 2 load up dev hook all the time...region free, hacked ps1 emulation etc..just read the list idiot
If I upgrade my PSP to this, can I downgrade again at a later date?
I just upgraded my PSP and it's runing great
ISO BACKUPS WON'T RUN IF U HAVE CHANGED SETTINGS IN THE RECOVERYMENU!!
PUT ALL SETTINGS ON DEFAULT (SO NOMORE NO-UMD :( ) AND THEN ISO'S WILL WORK.
(sorry for putting this in caps, but otherwise it wouldn't be noticed.)
so has the program caused any bricking yet?
anyways i would like to CONGRATULATE mr D.A. for another homebrew program MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT.
this will make most psp users very happy.
sony innovates/updates, then pro homebrewers makes it better for our use. thank you BOTH!
not me, got 1.5 already.
WE LOVE YOU DARK_ALEX!!!
i want a 3.00 downgrader... please...
woo amazing work DAX u are the god of PSP plz don't ever ever stop.

Does this meen that i can update my 3.00 psp to 3.02 and then run homebrew????
Call me a total noob on this, but can I install this on a 3.0?
Get the f-u-c-k out retard.
All you can do is complain about him? WHY DON'T YOU GET A FKING LIFE? loser.
And WHY do we need to know your age?
so what will this mean for psone games on the psp sucked in sony!
You total n00b. No
Maybe because devhook 0.56 does not yet exist...
Thanks D_A. this firmware is simply the best,
This is amazing Dark_Alex!
My holidays just got a bit merrier!
This is awesome. I think i speak for the whole PSP scene when i say, please don't stop your excellent work Dark_AleX, you are a legend within the PSP scene, and have brought hours of entertainment and enjoyment to many PSP'ers through your releases.
PS - Merry Christmas Everyone

lol do u really think we are stupid enough to believe u
BILLY GOAT JACKSON ONCE SAID WHO SMOKES THE TOKES THE BILLY GOAT WILL WILL PLAY PSP SMOKIN PCP LISTING TO A MP3
probably because fewer people would flame a kid..
This firmware is for noobz only. bye and av a nice xmas mon.
it's menu you can open before the actual firmware starts, so if you brick you can just go to the recovery menu and well.. recover (flash back to 1.50)
i'm 30. so it's ok to flame me.
Awesome, I just finnished installing it and everything works fine (system menu too after the first "crash")
But you should really publish it on dax.lan.st too to make people more confident it's really yours and not a bricker.
Thank you Dark_AleX! This is a great christmas present to thousands of people.. (are you santa? :P) Now I'm gonna check that visualizer..
this may sound kind nooby but just to check if im 3.01 can i use this im thinking no but what do you think ?
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET PS1 GAMES TO THE PSP PLEASE ANSWER!
i have followed all instructions and i get an error saying the game could not be started (8002014c) what dows this mean
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET PS1 GAMES TO THE PSP PLEASE ANSWER
Ok... seems it's working for you but should I really upgrade? I'm kinda sceptic because I want all Emulators to work and because there isn't a v.30x Downgrader out yet... Please answer me!
i just have the 3.02 japan update will it still work when creating the DXAR file please answer
any1 noe wat is the playable format of ps1 game in psp?
Is it really worth upgrading from 2.71 SE-C that has everything working to this new firmware with minor hick-ups?
The only thing that would make me upgrade at the moment is if someone tells us where to find PS1 games other than the PS3 store!
Nonetheless, way to go Dark Alex!
Thanks Dark_AleX! Your achievements in the PSP community was the reason why I bought a PSP in the first place.
Have a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year!
What exactly does SE and OE mean? I've always wanted to know =/
All the PS1 games are Eboot.pbp files.
i cant get the updatemaker to work at all..... it jus says that it cannot open the 150 eboot.... any1 HELP!!!!
Not present in http://dax.st/ i think i'll wait till he put it on his website...
thanx dark-alex, i've comfirmed this to work so its not a fake
hey ozzy rename the updates to 150 and 302 and it should work
I'm not sure if this is happening to everyone, but i had 2.71 SE-C with with the MP3 plugin anabled, i downgraded to 1.50 and then upgraded to 3.02 OE-A... for some reason i noticed that my games or homebrew were not working, and then i check the list of plugins and notice that even though i had anabled them in 3.02, they were enabled from before, once i disabled them, everything started working again. Anyways, GREAT WORK Dark_Alex, this OE-A is a masterpiece. Thx and Happy Holidays
plz tell me your a girl
Esto es la mejor noticia que he tenido el dia de hoy, y deseo todo lo mejor para Dark_Alex.
Gracias por todo. Eres el mejor!!!
UM savefiles doenst work???!!!
My game saves for Sonic Rivals appear to be corrupt and won't start from the last save game i had. This was working perfectly yesterday when i was on 2.71 SE-C. Any suggestions?
so if i have crash bandicoot downloaded from ps3, is it name as crashbandicoot.pbp in mso:>PSP>GAME directory or the ps3 will auto-create a folder like SCUS000XXXX in ms0:>PSP>GAME>SCUS000XXX>(the ps1 game in this folder beng called EBOOT.PBP) ? Thanks...
no, the installer is a homebrew and thus can't be started on any 3.xx
SE+Special Edition (I'm not 100% sure on that one though)
OE+Open Edition, mentioned many times in the comments
does not make fakes. he is a PSP god!
they have the 3.02 US update
puedo ir al bano por favor?!
does this work if you are on FW3.02 or do u need a lower firmware that already has kernel acess????
sorry for such a noob question but i would like to know by the way im on 3.00 but if it worked with 3.02 i would update
..oh yeah you are the greatest..
here is a video of the new 3.02 OE-A. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPlZ9HMVBIA
Will any custom fonts/gameboots/backgrounds mess with the installation? Should I remove anything like custom gameboots and prxs from my flash before I install this?
so i have a 3.01 and a 1.5 psp, should i do this on my 1.5? and if yes will i be able to get rid of it if i don't want it?
grow one it tends to help
great release D_A (o_0) still cant believe i have 3.02 and 1.5 awesome
guys...it seems the OE has more ISO compatibility issue than SE-C. Some game work with No-UMD in SE-C but crash in OE like GTA-VCS. Some ISO can't be loaded in plain modules in UMS/ISO. It seems if enable isofs driver in UMD-inserted mode also has some issue in certain ISO. Hope those bugs will be fixed in the upcoming OE-B.
CAN ANYONE HELP...I RAN OEUPDMAKER, I INCLUDED THE 1.5 AND 3.02 UPDATE EBOOTS IN THE OEUPDMAKER FOLDER..RAN THE PROGRAM, AND I GET THE MESSAGE "CANT OPEN 150.PBP..." THEN THE PSP REBOOTS ITSELF...ALL I END UP WITH IS AN EMPTY DXAR FILE THAT WONT WORK WITH OEFLASHER...CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A PROB RUNNING ANY KIND OF APP BEFORE...SO IF I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS...I WILL HAVE NO PROB CORRECTING THE INSTALL...THANKS.
i too have the same problem
never mind I just used the easy installer by chaos.
where can i get that installer
Sorry kid, you'll have to wait until when(/if) they crack the 3.00, as I wrote to another guy just a few posts up, the installer is a homebrew and thus will only work on homebrew compatible PSP (except 2.80)
Well, as it has 1.50 homebrew support you could always install SE-C which I know for a fact can downgrade to 1.50, but I'm quite sure you can do the same from OE-A
Recovery mode doesn't work, I installed the customizer for this mod (stupid i know ), and now all i get is the XMB with out the Icons or Writing. it hangs then it shuts down. any one got any useful ideas on how to solve this problem
Can I install this with my already 3.02?
I jumped the gun before I found out there is homebrews.
And if this cant install on the normal 3.02 firmware, can I downgrade 3.02 to 2.71?
We just reached a thousand jumps, cool! anywayz cant wait to test this out, glad to see Dark_AleX back in the scene!!!
This is my first post and i just wana say Dark Alex thank u so much for this...guess i wnt be needing devhook (for a while at least
make sure the update EBOOT.PBP is 150.pbp + 302.pbp. Not 1.50.pbp or 3.02.pbp. There shouldn't be any dot in between the numbers. If u put the dot, u'll get error message "Cant open 150.pbp"
ok if i have 3.02 already all i gotta do is follow that install direction and it will work?
No you can't... yet, I hope there will be a crack in 3.xx soon too though (Sony doesn't want us to run homebrews and therefore makes it as hard as possible, but there are always ways around it).
Can we get an IP ban, his comments are not just 'flaming' they are starting to be abusive.
Oblivious to the whole homebrew scene because I was trapped in a cabin in Siberia, I upgraded to 3.01. So will this work with 3.01? I am new to the whole scene, but would love to be able to run homebrew and psone emulators, etc. on my PSP. Any info is appreciated.
So much for that! All them will be if Dark_Alex continues like this! Great Job!!!
i did that to i still get the same error and i am currently using fw-2.71 se-b"
CAN ANYONE HELP...I RAN OEUPDMAKER, I INCLUDED THE 1.5 AND 3.02 UPDATE EBOOTS IN THE OEUPDMAKER FOLDER..RAN THE PROGRAM, AND I GET THE MESSAGE "CANT OPEN 150.PBP..."

i too have the same problem
never mind I just used the easy installer by chaos.
where can i get that installer
PLEASE ANYONE CAN YOU POST THE LINK TO
easy installer by chaos.
bad news is that no, you can't do homebrew with your psp. good news is that yes, you can play psone games with your psp...you just have to pay for the games. hahahahahaha
PLEASE!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
LINK TO EASY INSTALLER BY CHAOS
No, 3.xx can't run any homebrew (unless you count flash and HTML), and the OE installer is a homebrew, therefore it won't work. You'll just have to wish for a crack in 3.xx
i have a 1.5 psp but before i install 3.02 oe i wanted to know that can i install the recovery menu first on my 1.5 psp and then install 3.02oe
thanks
some game not playable in OE. I tried Colin Mcrae Rally 2005 iso n it can't load but with dh0.51 emulating to 3.02 fw, it works. so i guess i'll still keep the dh till OE become more stable.
The Playstation store is the ONLY place that you can download PSone games that will work for the PSP. And the Playstation Store is only accessible by the PS3.
EWW! You creepy adult! Get off these comment pages where little kids are!
lol, just playing, you said since you were 30 it is ok to flame you +)
Doesn't connect to the internet =\
is it possible to run this by emulating 1.50 tru devhook .46 bexause i have hen D and need help >
Guys! I'm on 2.71 Se-c... I have my umd drive broken... so I can't play any games other than those backups supported. Should I update??!?! please! help... Thanks alexxxx... argentinean love for you
have you tried going back to System settings? it should work fine now, the system just had to generate a 3.02 registry.
if you keep getting the blue screen every time, well then you're fuct
I was on 2.8 but to play thrillville I had to update to 2.81 so I decided to go to FW 3.0. Is there a real UPDATE path for me?
http://www.psp-haxors.com/
enjoy
works perfect
this work on 2.8 psp?
have a 1.5 psp but before i install 3.02 oe i wanted to know that can i install the recovery menu first on my 1.5 psp and then install 3.02oe
thanks
please reply
Thus this mean that I can now play ps1games whithout a PS3
I NEVER got irShell to work in 2.71 mode...
oh well, I like the XMB better anyway
Just a question,
Is it possible to have memsticks over 4GB for this?
you mean YOUR psp doesn't connect to the internet...my psp with fw 3.02 OE-A does connect. Just enabled the Flash-player and WMA playback.
U might be fuct.
try reinstalling. you should only get the Blue screen ONCE andd ONCE only
I am sad to say that there has been a casulty because my psp is now bricked..........
THERE IS SUCH A THING AS DEVHOOK!!!
if you try (!) to read the info you can see that the no-umd function is not working as good as with 2.71Se. So stay at 2.71Se for the moment.
IF YOU REALY WANT TO PLAY PS1 GAMES GO BUY A PS1 FOR ABOUT £5
did u actually try it?
all my iso's work fine in No UMD
you're the kinda person that believe EVERYTHING no questions asked right?
If you havent noticed yet Location Free Player is not active meaning that Dark_Alex has had to exclude it because of free space on the Flash0:
If future PSP updates are larger we may never be able to create a custom firmware with the PSP existing Flash memory space
Jaja.. thanks a lot... pretty funny ---> "try to read" Marry christmas
Works great, I had to disable no umd and my plugins to run my iso
Your d.i.c.k. is bricked!
All of my 2.x FW isos and lower work 100% with no UMD.
Are you sure it just doesn't work with 3.x isos?
allright you lucky people from Japan and USA,
all us unlucky Europeans like to test the psx emulator, but as you know Sony doesn't like us so we have to wait for at least 4 to 6 months before we can buy a PS3.
Somebody can post a test-game for the emulator on a torrent site? (just to push Sony to introduce the PS3 a little bit faster here.....) I really want to pay to Sony for the games but as I don't own a PS3 I can't.
I know it is not legal, but I really want to test it to see if it works the way I want it.
Freakin monker!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! My PSP is 2.80 firmware AND a TA-82 motherboard. lol, oh well... Maybe DA will want to release this compatible with 2.80 FW and TA-82 motherboards? =D *wishful thinking*
Gee... man... calm down...
I live in south america: "what?! sony?!?! what?! sorry... I don't know what you're talking about... electronics?! nope, sorry."
jaja... just kidding...
Thanks for that +)
I'm not exactly going to read a bunch of comments, as I feel none of them are useful to me..seeing as I have 2.8 FW.
I was just curious to know what they mean.
this sounds noobish but does it work for 2.80???
I just did it and it worked fine, here is proof,
http://www.cheatsync.net/302OEA.jpg
I did find that when I first restarted it, I got an internel error and then a load of Japanese came up... I just hit O and it reset and then worked fine...
Great Job Dark_AleX...!
No you CANT downgrade back
quit asking and use your eyes and brain to read.
you are either full of s.hit or have a botched install since all my isos work with no-UMD enabled, hide corrupt, skip SCE, you name it, GAME folder 1.50 kernel.....
everything works
I used a 2'71 Plugin to change speed to 333, but I suppose that I can't do the same in 3.02. There is any homebrew to overclock the speed without touching the flash?
Worked for me, but I ran into something strange... I'm not sure this is related, but after updating, my computer sometimes reboots when I connect my PSP via USB. After crashing my computer, it must have corrupted some system files because trying to browse through my hard drives via Windows Explorer was super slow and would crash on me. I ran a repair installation of Windows and it seems to be working better now. The repair install got rid of my IE7 install, though, so I'm back on IE6 now. I wasn't terribly impressed with IE7 anyway. Seemed to be very slow compared to IE6 and was hogging more system resources. My in-laws could barely even run it on their older system. Anywho.... Yeah. Take it FWIW.
Thats EXACTLY What it means.
Installed last night...tested Socom FTB2, GTA: VCS, Family Guy, Nascar 07, Sonic Rivals and Mind Quiz and all work. I always keep GTA: LCS in the UMD so I never worry about that. With my SE-B' and devhook emulating 3.02, I always had the BSOD when entering the emulated 3.02...I stuck with it to have the features, but once I saw this I was LIKE WOO HOO!!! I still consider myself a noob, because D_A always makes everything so damn easy to understand. Easy upgrade and I love OE-A!!!! Thanks D_A!!!
Does he have anywhere to donate to his work? I mean, this guy deserves it! Happy Holidays PSP HB Scene!
-Bildo-
Yes you CAN downgrade back after upgradeing, but dont just use the official update, use DA's OE-A 3.02. THEN you can downgrade using the recovery menu if you so choose. Ive already done it once.
No-UMD works fine
yes
My Vice City Stories ISO does not run directly on this firmware... It runs through DevHook perfectly but not by running directly...
I have disabled all my PRXs... Has anyone else got this problem...?
I have had 3.02 OE-A for over 12 hours and it has never crashed on me once including the infamous system settings or browser sometimes crashing. I think it is because alot of people are getting the 3.02 Eboot file from QJ.net and that file is a Japanese Eboot 3.02. I have used the Eboot from http://www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=937 which is actually the US 3.02 firmware and have had no crashes and all of the ISO's/CSO's work with no problem. Also I have tried NesterJ as well and that runs perfectly too. The only thing I got to do is try out a higher demanding game like "Blitz" and try that out to see if it loads and that would be everything. BY far a very good update since we now can also play PSone games from the PS3 or from download. Whoever is sitting on the bench don't think twice and upgrade now!!
I have 3.02 already... How do i downgrade?? or will it work? Man this is confusing
At this present time there is no way to downgrade down to 1.50 or 2.71 if you have a firmware over 2.71. So I guess everyone will have to wait for a downgrader later.
Such a long wait.. Sony are evil doing these updates... why cannot they make Downgraders themselfs...
Can you downgrade from 3.02 OE-A to regular 1.5? This is the only thing stopping me from doing this.
The recovery menu is a part of the custom firmware, and it installs that before installing the firmware, so even if you brick when installing, the recovery menu will work and let you return to 1.5
i have installed all the files, have it running smooth, but..it wont run the new metal gear iso or cso, and i cant get the ps1 emulator to work, tried changing kenal mode, tried putting in the different game folders, and yes it is from sony, also tried umd and no umd mode....still haveing probs, both freeze when i try to load them...please help!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The stupid thing says cannot open 1.50 file, what the hell i have gotten all the right files. It worked the first time but the dax file was 0kb and when i started the oeflasher it said cannot read dax or is not there? I am running 2.71 se-a and i am getting pissed
Yea... you just have to get a psx game first (it still needs to be bought trough a PS3)
no, not yet, but once that downgrader is done you can downgrade and then upgrade to this
how do i uninstall harleyg custom firmware patch v0.2 to install 3.02oe or can i keep the patch and still install 3.02oe
custom firmwares are not counted as 2.71+ in "U Know"'s post above... the recovery menu which is included in the custom firmwares is pretty much all about recovering to 1.50
You might have written a dot between 1 and 5, an easy mistake, the correct names are "150.PBP" and "302.PBP", you can copy-paste that to be fail-free
Same here...
I assume that patch is something on the flash?
in that case it will automatically be removed when you install OE (the installer formats the flash before installing the new stuff)
To "not logged in" the question was can someone with an *official* Sony firmware that is higher than firmware 2.71 downgrade down to 2.71 or 1.5 the answer is no. Unless you can prove me wrong and give me a link to a downgrader for say firmware 3.0?? It's not possible right now at all. Of course you can downgrade if you 2.71-SE* or 3.02 OE-A down to 1.50 it is possible via the recovery menu.
I was answering a guy who was wondering if the OE could be downgraded, I'm sorry if it sounded like I meant the official ones (which can not be downgraded if it's over 2.71)
So I have 2.71 SE-B First edition. I read somewhere this firmware will only work from 1.50 or 2.71 SE-C??
Can I upgrade directly to 3.02 oe-a??
Thanx in Advance
Suka.
Same here let i come fast
i already have 3.02 so im helplesss
Im kinda new to homebrew as I have a 2.8 FW PSP. Can this work? Can i run homebrew on my psp?
Please Help me out someone....
I'm a newb, as in brand new, but does this mean i can change my official 3.02 to this and run homebrew apps like cheat programs?
thanks in advance.
i don't need insults, just answers
Hey Nikhil... Yes you can run homebrew on your 2.80 PSP, but not all of it works. You'll need eLoader 995 which can be found on this site. Also a good tool to have is PatchSFO which patches EBOOTs for 1.0 and 1.5 PSPs to work on 2.80 firmware, but they don't always work.
what will be happen if i upgrade with 3.02 oe from a sony 3.02? will it brick my psp?
yeah, i think he meant we would LIKE to play ps1 games on his psp, cuz it would be a nice luxury, not cuz he's got a dildo up his arse trying to be right and trying to sound cool, unlike some people...
Will this brick my psp? I mainly need homebrew so i can run isos of psp games on my psp? But....This 3.02 OE wont work huhn?
what an incredible peice of work this is.
scrap the 1.5 golden firmware bull***** this is the PLATINUM firmware
all DA has to do now is tweak tweak and tweak some more.
developers need to make there homebrew/apps/prx all compatible with this 3.02 OE as i doubt sony are planning anymore groundbreaking firmware updates soon.
3.02 this is the ground breaking firmware. you can assure this will be the main prefrence of psp homebrew users for at least 8 months. UNLESS sony do some crazy crazy things and allow ps2 emulation or something mad, this has everything you need, PS1 emulation, homebrew, ISO, region free EVERYTHING
looking forware to 3.02SE-A, im sure itll be alot easier now that you have had practice on 2.71.
thanks so much man your work is truly appreciated By EVERYONE in this great community which you are a KEY part of
I have some old ps1 game disks, is it possibel to convert them to be able to run em on this firmware psp? If so how?
Cheers DA for a superb bit or programming!
I LOVE DARK ALEX
HE IS THE ALBERT EINSTEIN OF THE PSP.
BUT PLEASE- MAKE A VERSION FOR THE TA-082
THAT WOULD MAKE THE TA-082 DOWNGRADER UNNEEDED, AND WOULD MAKE EVERY SINGLE PSP OWNER EVER HAPPY/
THANKS AGAIN DARK ALEX, AND ME AND THE MILIONS OF OTHER TA-082 OWNERS ARE WAITING!!
does this firmwares ps1 emulator let you play iso that you create yourself from real ps1 games (or downloaded isos) or do you HAVE to get them off a ps3 for them to work?
this is genna put a daggar into sony developers and there going to loose alot of money by people downloading ps1 games and loading them up but they deserved it
being greedy and making people buy a PS3 is wrong
if they made it so you could purchase the games online i would, seriously.
even though i have them all in the loft somewhere id still buy them. But nooooooooo they want us to buy a ps3
bull***** sony have really *****ed themself this time. the more they protect against something the more people will rebel against it to proove a point.
if they had allowed the buying of ps1 games over the internet, sure they would have lost out a bit to people swapping and sharing and downloading them from torrents. People wouldnt of had an excuse now its genna be "i had to download the games i dont have a ps3"
sony, youve really *****ed yourself this time with your greedyness
I love dark alex...and i dislike SONY
Please help me somebody!! How do you run 2.8 FW Homebrew..I want load psp games isos on 2.8 PSP or play supermario etc......
HELP
can i update to this if i have 2.80?
I tried to install this on my psp, but i seem to have bricked it!!
The battery wasn’t charged enough, and i was too impatient to wait for it to charge, so i overrided the 75% battery check. Although i was using the mains adapter.
The update went ok, said it was sucessful, but my psp doesn’t boot now.
When i switch it on, the green led comes on, the backlight lights althoug nothing is shown on screen. The MS access flashes for about a second and then nothing. I have to do a hard reset or remove the battery to switch off.
I have tried to use the RECOVERY, but still nothing on the display - i did notice though the MS access’s more with R held down whilst powering on. - should there be anything on the MS to boot into?
I’ve also tried holding HOME-SELECT-START with the WI-FI on, but that just seems to switch off the psp (sometimes).
Is there anything i can do to un-brick my psp, i’m hoping it’s not fully bricked.
Cheers,
CBROM.
Then why do you buy SONY products?
I dont understand people that say they "hate" or "dislike" SONY yet they keep buying SONY products...This is beyond retarded...
WHY IS THIS NOT POSTED ON DARK ALEX'S HOMEPAGE?!?!?!?!?!?!?
There is no download for this firmware update on his main site. Why?
so can i update my 2.8 psp to 3.02 SE-A? i am confuzzled
PS1 emulation hacked? This is awesome. I'll wait for some good PS1 games or a patch before doing this though since Im fine with devhook right now. I remember the first version of SE to be pretty buggy and risky.
http://www.dark-alex.org/
is that DA's site because on there is a link
3.02 Open Edition. (Rev A)
same here ( me......ill let you know when i finish counting everyone above me)
The site I had on file does not show the download, but the site you posted shows the link to this other site... http://dax.lan.st/
You'd think DA would post the software on all his sites to keep suspicions low since the problem with someone spreading brickers with his name earlier this month.
I 'had' 2.80 until I (i would like to mention now that I wass a dumbass and still am) took apart my psp and broke the backlight and screen connection to the motherboard. Now I need a new psp. but once I get one then I will wait it out until I can get a downgrade to 1.5 or try to get a psp that can already downgrade to 1.5

I did this and next thing you know i have a bricked psp. bye psp and bye homebrew scene. thanks for wrecking my christmas Chaos Zero.
Works good

Just a quick q i read all 11 pages and i just wanted to know if the upgrade has to be done for each psp? or can i use the rapidshare package a few pages back with the daxr files already in it for all psps? (i have a few) ...
oh and merry christmas pspupdates! and an even bigger MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Dark_Alex! where would we be without you... while im at it have a safe holiday season everyone! and because noone else will... Thank you sony :)
wait so does this work as a downgrader for psps with a firmware of 3.01 and lower but still give u the goods that are on the 3.01 or what just kinda confused??
Yeah renaming the game directory to GAME150 worked. woohoo. Cheers
thats so kool i just installed it and man i can use anything thats out there thank Dark Alex!!!!
thanks dark alex man
sorry for the n00b question but will this work on a 3.03 real version, if so how do i load it
i run the oeupdmaker on the psp, it restarts and says "the game could not be started (8002014C) any ideas?
Ok everyone... You CANNOT use this custom firmware if you already are running SONY firmware that's higher than 2.80. I believe it has to be either 1.5 or Dark_AleX's 2.71 custom FW, but don't quote me on that, as my PSP is a TA-82 so I cannot try this.
One question I have is... Why the crap won't alot of stuff work on TA-82 motherboards? If actual SONY Firmware will work regardless of motherboard model then what effect does it have on a "custom" firmware??? What actually prevents things that work on non 82's from working on 82's?
is it possible yet to downgrade from 3.02 to 2.71 ??
- Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".
so these werent included in this little package right? just to make sure
i am now not really a noob but can sum1 just tell me if you get this 3.02 custom fireware is it at 333mhz.
- Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".
so these werent included in this little package right? just to make sure
This DOES NOT WORK!
I removed my battery & power supply while updating the firmware and now my PSP is bricked??
HELP PLS :(
Can this be installed on a PSP with a Firmware Version of 2.81?
Someone put what Che361 said in all of the faqs or the readme or something because the same thing was happening to me:
Problem
I'm not sure if this is happening to everyone, but i had 2.71 SE-C with with the MP3 plugin anabled, i downgraded to 1.50 and then upgraded to 3.02 OE-A... for some reason i noticed that my games or homebrew were not working, and then i check the list of plugins and notice that even though i had anabled them in 3.02, they were enabled from before, once i disabled them, everything started working again. Anyways, GREAT WORK Dark_Alex, this OE-A is a masterpiece. Thx and Happy Holidays
Thanks man helped me get it working!!!!!!!!
currently only 2.71 and under can be downgraded to 1.5 although a 2.8 downgrader is in the works
Why the heck did you do that?
Anyhow I think/hope that your recovery menu should still work and from there you can recover to 1.5, and this time DON'T REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLIES!
***** YOU NATO !!!! RUSSIA FOREVER !!!!
I cant start any games out of my game folder, ive put 1.50 eBoots in the game folder and its just coming up game could not be started, error 0x000454325 or something, WHATS WIT THIS?
If you have downloaded a PSone game, how or where do you put the game on the MS? I can't get it to work. I was going to try crash bandicoot but it doesn't work.
does this work on ta-082's
DA youre a true king of PSP around the world
what firmware do you need to be capable of updating to this?
You need firmware 1.5 or 2.71 SE (A,B,B',B'',C).
.a
you guys can access devhook...
only if you can run iso or cso..thats all u need...
Its not like that u guys cant access.
I have upgraded to 3.02 OE-A,
However only thing that u need is just
accessing iso and cso games....
what is dark_alex real site/blog now, as dax.lan.st isn't updated with this OE and all the dark-alex.whatevers are fake?
not tryed it yet, will let u no what happens to my 1.50 psp
i cant play any of my iso's im going back to se-b''
But still, well done D_A u da man!!!
lol, half the top-ten is about OE now
for using Chaos Zero's STUPID ASS EASY INSTALLERS!!! That mofo needs to stop writing those fugging things. If people are too stupid to install ***** per the dev's instructions, then they are too stupid to have it.
This isn't the first time he's *****ed up.
supp everyone,
i install the latest firmware 3.02 OE-A....but it cant play Need For Speed Most Wanted(ISO). It goes well when i start the game it shows the loading but it gets stuck at after like 3.sec and never shows the menus in the game. This game worked perfectly in 2.71 se-c but doesn't works in 3.02 oe-a.
If a dg does come for the 2.80 firmware, will you be able to get the helper files to directly downgrade a none- ta-079 2.80 PSP to 3.02 OE-A
THanks DA! Just updated from 2.71 se-c to 3.02 oe-a and well no issues what so ever! kick ASS!
[n00b to pspupdates]
I've been at 1.5 since I got my 2.0.. So... Just install and update, right?
All I know about this is custom firmware needs a "1.50 bootstrap" to run. No TA-082's have this, but DAX said he hopes we can one day get custom firmware running without a 1.50 bootstrap needed. I read all that directly from some interview w/ DAX.
That depends if you have a TA-082 motherboard. You can find out if you have a TA-082... just google something like "do I have a TA-082 psp" and you will find a page that will let you find out if you do. If you DON'T have a TA-082, you're in luck because a 2.80 downgrader has just been released. You can downgrade to 1.50 and install this from there... as long as you dont have a TA-082!
any chance that ur psp can be bricked and does it work on all versions custom firmware or normal?
The 3.02 OE upgrade simply won't launch, since there is no known method to launch homebrew on a 3.02 PSP.
hey guys, can anyone tell me which firmware is better?? 1.5 or 2.71?
I have the original 1.50 FW and wanted to know what are the benefits of upgrading to this new custom FW?? Generally I play the NES EMU, GENESIS EMU, and SNES EMU the most, and occasionally some psp games if I go on a trip. So is it worth upgrading?
Also, can this be removed once it's installed if I don't like it? Thanks in advance. Merry Xmas!
Hey guys, can anyone tell me which FW is better? 1.5 or 2.71??
Will this work with PSPs that have been updated to 3.03? Or will it just work for 3.02 only?
since all firmwares can be decrypted why couldn't DA just reencyrpt this and compile it into an actual Update that was an eboot like sony? that way anyone under 3.02 could "update" to 3.02 OE-A and be able to run homebrew
Just updated, works fine so far :)
MGS: PO without devhook
Can I emulate the 3.02 OE-A on devhook ?
Its because I'd like to keep my 1.5 firmware.
Thank you!!
HI DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF DARKALEX IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE NO UMD MODE AS MY UMD IS BROKE AND GAMES LIKE VCS DONT PLAY IN NO UMD MODE ON 302 OE-A AND SOME OTHER GAMES ANY INFO ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT OH AND DA I LOVE THE FIRMWARE
Thx Guys For All Of This Comments!!
Happy Xmas
haha well there is not much one can do wrong with this installer you goddamn *****got.....
I have a PSP I bought in Japan and just upgraded to 3.02. Now I want to play US UMD movies but it still won't work. Am I doing something wrong? Please help...
i finaly grew some balls and flashed this to my psp and it works fantastic WOHOOOOOOOOO
Does this mean that users with regular Sony 3.02 can put the unprotected PSOne eboots on their PSP and play them or is this still only possible through the custom firmware?
any idea's why locationfree won't start
so does this only play psone games from the sony store or all psone games
I LOVE IT Dark-Alex is amazing (plz more updates)
why everything is so unclearly described for Dark Alex's custom firmware??? I've tired to read anything about 2.71CE(A,B,C...) and this but still DO NOT know if this is working for official 2.71 firmware, can any one help, plz!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
was a little unoptimistic at first but after trying it its cool some plugins dont work and some games homers rin 1.0 pbp and others have to stay in the game folder set to 1.5. whatever but it works in fact it has better compatibility with some games that didnt work for me so cool. cant wait for a psx game now. thanks dark alex dont leave us in suspence now
please help! I have reinstalled this so many times but it wont load any homebrew or game from the game menu, I've tried both kernels en nothing worked. still have to do it with 2.71 se-c :(
If you bricked your psp with this like me and had cusom firmware such ad 2.71 se-a or b or c follow this to un brick
hold R to go to recovery mode.
download a fresh copy of se-c's installer from http://dax.lan.st
extract it to ur psp, and follow the instructions...get the 1.50 and 2.71 update eboot.pbp's at psp-hacks.com...then delete the 2 folders with the % in them.
turn on PSP freshly, while holding R, and go to recovery mode.
if you dont have a memory stick reader, hit the option that says "Toggle USB" at the top.
Rename the folder /PSP/GAME/seupdmaker to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/
turn off psp....turn on psp while holding R.....
when recovery screen comes up, hit option that says "run file in /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP"
itll run the setup that will create the DATA.DXAR
move that to the "flasher" folder
rename /GAME/RECOVERY/ back to /GAME/setupdmaker/, and then rename the /PSP/GAME/271seflasher folder to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/
turn off psp...turn on psp while holding R....
again, run the eboot at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP
that is a fresh 2.71 SE-C installer.
if you bricked it with this program it will instal se- c and restor everything
if u do this and dont like it can u go bck to 1.5?
in one of the faqs i read on how to install it, it listed all the firmwares that will allow for a successful installation of 3.02 OE-A, but it doesn't list 2.70. I have 2.70 according to my system info. Anyways, I'm new to all this and I was wondering if my 2.70 PSP can upgrade?
plz can you try and come up with a 3.02 downgrader coz im stuck with this shyt firmware... yeh i no i shouldnt have upgraded but i didnt no bout all this homebrew and playing iso's busssiness fingers crossed hope you find a way
can you use the this on a psp 3.02
Dark_Alex Your da man....I just change my 2.71se-c to this firmware 3.02 oe-a!!Its perfect but lack of dev hook to run some homebrew like psp radio...;-)
yes
upgrade to 2.71 then to 3.02 to b safe
no
if its big enough for devhook files then go with 2.71 SE-C cuz of Ir Shell. but if ur memory stik is smaller then go with 3.02 OE-A cuz u dont need devhook but cant use Ir Shell. either way u should upgrade 1.5 is not as good as either
2.71
neither...figure out which u use it
thats a good idea i wonder if he could do that. u should find out if there is any way...
he took it out in the updates cuz there is not enough flash memory
yes
is there a 3.02 update for the U.S.? if not, will that jp update still work?
can someone help me?
sorry, found it already posted here
CWCHEAT.....doesnt work YET
X-F lash....doesnt work YET
MP3 modules...dont work YET
:)
I have a 1.5 with devhook .51 Should i update to this or keep my 1.5.
ps.
if i update can i go back
i did used 3.02jp and it worked just fine. i think most people here used it too.
Loco Roco Halloween demo doesn't work..
Powers off the PSP before game finishes booting.
Any chance of this getting looked at?
Also, any other titles not working with this firmware?
Thankyou
Many thx to Dark Alex for coming up with this thing and Chaos Zero for makin it easy for people like myself to install the thing. Now i can finnally play that copy of Daxter i bought 4 months ago w/o thinking of fw upgrades. Only thing thatd make me happier is if i can find a good site with PS1 isos. If i can play Unholy War or FF7 on this thing itll be the best thing goin till they figure out how to get the N64 emu runnin. If any1 knows where to go for isos u can get me at yahoo (SouthtownZ@yah oo.com).
And a merry christmas to all, even the Jews!...

Hi there,
i downgraded from 2.6 to 1.5 few months ago. I've read that this way of downgrading is not 'clear' as it leaves some useless files in the flash memory. Would this be a problem for installing 3.02 OE-A? Or should i upgrade to official 2.71 and downgrade back to 1.5 for then installing 3.02 OE-A? Did anyone try the following: 2.6->1.5->3.02 OE-A?
Thanks!
can i install this if i have harleyg custom fw patch v0.2

I have Dark_Alex's new 3.02-OE-A Firmware and I can't figure out how to run this ISO on it. Considering I had no experience prior to this and wouldn't know how to do it in 1.50 either, this is not surprising. However, my problem is, he says that you can just put the ISO in the game folder and run it. I try to, and it tells me there are no games on the memory stick when I try to access it from the Game menu on the PSP...Any help?
i an new to the psp i just bought it 3 days a go 1.5v. i installed the OE-A and didn't crash that is good but i couldn't play any games which i downloaded from the internet which are .iso, .cso and tryed to update OE-B by putting the file EBOOT.PBP in the x:\psp\game but it didn't show the file on the consule. PLz help me out anyone!!

Where do i get the 3.02 firmware US eboot ?
Hi all,
I'm now on 3.02 OE-B, and and I don't seem to be having any luck playing region 1 (US) UMD movies, even with the recovery console set to Region-free (Enabled). Region 2/4 seem to work fine. Only have one US movie to test with though, Ghost in the Shell.
Anyone else get this?
Downgraded my friend's psp from 2.71 to 1.50, no problem
Used oeupdmaker to make the DATA.DXAR file, took a while but no problem
Plugged in the AC adaptor and went to update from 1.50 to 3.02 oe-a with 302oeflasher, and it gave me a bunch of "PANIC: could not create ***" errors.
It then said something similar to "Now flashing, 0% done" but the access light for the memory stick didn't show it was being accessed. After 10 minutes of it not going any higher than 0%, I had to shut it down and after that his psp was bricked (no display and the power light comes on for 15 seconds then blinks off).
Can anyone tell me why this happened? Is it because after i downgraded it to 1.50 I didn't reformat the memory stick before putting the 3.02 oe-a files on it? I followed the steps in the readmes exactly. Is there any way to fix this?
Is there supposed to be 2 eboots in the oeupdamker folder cos i only have 1 :S and when i run it and go a
" Get the 1.50 and 3.02 Update eboots in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP". "
From the first step in making the DATA.DXAR
There is nothing in that folder, or am i suppose to put someting in that folder?
they still wont show up when i make a folder named ISO in my root and put em there:/ help someone! (A)
My DATA.DXAR MD5 is 5bd5de55204bb8a 407c0187c3da1040c and my SHA1 is bb43b06852826f446cc a933927c3d54c50e151b1
-- The DXAR creater program hash checks the 1.50 eboot, the 3.02 eboot, and then checks the DATA.DXAR file as well... As if this wasn't enough, the flasher also runs hash checks on the DATA.DXAR file before writing to flash. It's pretty safe - Although, I would like to see the hash data in the readme.txt next time around...
I have had trouble generating the DATA.DXAR file it appears to take forever when Its doing the 3.02 bit. Tried using the US and JP EBOOTs. Anyhow, I found an easy installer with the DATA.DXAR file included. How can I check if this is OK? whats the correct checksum for it?
I HAVE THE FOLDERS IN THE RIGHT PLACE BUT IT COMES UP WITH "THE GAME COULD NOT BE STARTED"
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I'm a PSP noob... Sorry... I have a PSP with 2.60 Just bought it to do this psx thing, cuz I want FF7 in my hands. Where can I find FULL instructions to make my dream come true?
yes guys you can still play iso and cso games . i was also wondering if you could and i discovered how. well put you iso or cso in the iso folder in root of memory stick then go to the game place in your psp and the iso or cso game will be there
Make sure that all plugins are disabled. I had the same problem, but still had plugins enabled from the 271SE days. Disabling them then allowed the registry settings to be reset properly, and then you dont have the BSOD anymore :)
Tried both of these from original with no success - am I doing something wrong or do they just not work?
no one has mentioned yet if it works on a firmware other than 1.5 like on 2.5/2.6 or 2.8! Anybody know?
"Get the 1.50 and 3.02 Update eboots" NFC where those are, not in the file (3040e.rar) or the psp. What am I missing?

Successfully installed 3.02 OE-A on my 1.50 TA-082 PSP. That was fast and went exactly as written in the instructions.
Loading ISO's off the memory stick without a UMD inserted seems to work with the No-UMD mode enabled (the only game I tried to load succeeded).
Thanks a lot Dark_AleX!
So ive been trying to figure this out from scratch with no clue what I'm doing. This is how far ive got.
You need to have....
System Software Version 1.5
Or
System Software Version 2.71 SE (SE is a custom FW)
From what I understand your better off downgrading to 1.5 than installing 2.71 SE
Once I figure out how to downgrade from the playstation relised 2.71 to 1.5 I will post and after that I will install Custom Firmware 3.02 OE-A.
Hopefully I dont brick, wish me luck.
http://www.homebrewhowto.com/psp-firmware-tutorials/downgrade-2.71-to-1.5-and-play-back-ups-on-de.html
Just found this how to on drowngrading to 1.5 apparently this made a bunch of people brick so understand you are taking a risk by messing around.
I posted earlier and still got no help ! is this 3.02 oe BS????? Does it work? To a punch of people as well as myself it doesnt. Until proven so?????? can i get some help? I have 1.50 fw. i changed the names of the eboot files 150.PBP and 302.PBP I placed them in the correct folder and when i go to run it it says CANNOT READ FILE.. What am i doing wrong??????
alright i was totally pissed my ta-082 3.02oe-a psp wasn't running homebrew, i was getting the same error as you, use recovery mode (found in the download for 302oe-a) and set configuration->to game folder homebrew to 1.5 kernel! i also used no umd (currently : enabled) hiope that works
a friend i know followed the tutorial and was up to Step 6 in Flashing DATA.DXAR, he shutdown and restart manually, but it was only a black screen, is there a fix to this?? and why that happens?
How do you downgrade or take custom firmware 3.02 oe-b off of your 1.50 psp?
can i use this on the psp 3.03?
Same problem here. When I restart my PSP I just go back to the upgrade screen.
This isn't a brick is it?
Up a few comments I said I couldn't restart my PSP. I found the problem and hopefully this fixes you too Alex. Apparently there are two ways to restart. Flipping the switch on and off didn't suffice, instead I had to hold it up until it turned off, release, and repeat the same action to turn it on.
i heard that by holding R1 while turning on your psp allows it to go into Recover screen, then recover to 1.5, then flash again to OE-A, imma tell my friend to try it
figured it out
figuring out how to do this crap was a nightmare, I suggest finding some one that knows how to do this pay them to do it and save your self the mental anguish.
PS dont ask me how to do it I never want to downgrade another psp again
Can I UPDATE my PSP to DAX's Custom Firmware when Im in 3.01? please someone answer
can i still use this if my version is already 3.02?
I installed 3.02 OE-A and it lashes fine-when I go to install OE-B,there is no GAME150 folder.When I create one and put the EBOOT in it wont run.Also ,when I try running PSX games they wont run either-am I doing something wrong?
I get some problems extracting the DXAR file : the extractor stop before the end. The flash install doesn't start, saying my DXAR is corrupted.
Respect to the Dark man......I've been following your work mate.................Quality
I am slightly confused and need this cleared up
Can I upgrade to 3.02 OE-A and then 3.02 OE-B from 2.81
Help!. I currently run devhook .46 on my jap. 1.5. Do I have to upgrade to 3.02 to use this from Dark alex, and will this mean that my psp will now read 3.02 in system settings?? Will i loose the capability of running homebrew/iso's once upgraded??? Confused- please help.
Yep just bought a PSP today and was pretty amazed by Alex' release - so i read everything carefully and created my own step by step list so i wouldn't miss anything in the setup... I did exactly as every readme said i should - it flashed the device and now all i get is a black screen... end of story - be carefull guys
