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)
The installation is just like the previous custom firmwares by Dark_AleX. Nonetheless, here's a guide:

Generating the DATA.DXAR:
  1. 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.
  2. Get the 1.50 and 3.02 Update eboots in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".
  3. Run oeupdmaker. This program will create a file called DATA.DXAR in the same directory (oeupdmaker).
  4. The program will verify that the SHA-1 of the generated file is correct.
  5. Once that you have done this, you can save the DATA.DXAR file to skip this step in the future.
Flashing DATA.DXAR:
  1. Copy the directories oeflasher and oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME (or /PSP/GAME150 if you are on 2.71 SE)
  2. Copy the generated DATA.DXAR from oeupdmaker to oeflasher directory.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. If you accept, the program will flash the custom firmware. Don't shutdown the PSP and don't remove the memory stick.
  6. 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.)

Checksum

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.

c

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.
by - 2006-12-21 20:10:21
hey stupid above me

u can use the visiualizer and stop being to lazy u mook
by - 2006-12-21 20:10:49
cool

I wonder what OE stands for
by GaveUpTomorrow - 2006-12-21 20:11:14
Awesome...but...

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!

So does this mean that people can now share PS1 games ver the internet for 3.0+ users to use?
by KilerG - 2006-12-21 20:16:46
hmmm

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!
by eruditejok3r - 2006-12-21 20:17:10
This sucks for TA-8*

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.
by - 2006-12-21 20:17:52
thx dsa

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

don't know what to think...

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

by - 2006-12-21 21:02:38
NICE

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.

Location Free Player

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.

ISO + CSO

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 :)
by - 2006-12-21 21:09:09
No it is not

That is because i use that same thing you did, and mine is working fine, no BSoD anywhere, running pretty smoothly.

.

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.

.

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)

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.

GaveUpTomorrow is correct.

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.

Didn't completely work

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.

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.

omfg

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.
by - 2006-12-22 00:19:24
WORKS

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.

dont think upgrade to 3.02 SE-A NOW

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.

don't need a ps3 to get the ps1 games on the psp

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.

Devhook Who?

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.

xautoboot

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 :)

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!

ISO compatibility issue

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.

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)

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"

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).

what do u think

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

by - 2006-12-22 09:25:19
NO

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

u still need devhook

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.

Not Correct

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.

Wots After this

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

I hate the spyware advertisement on QJ !!

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.

Works Perfectly

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...!

Overclock to 333?

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?
by - 2006-12-22 10:45:00
Just updated

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.

AWESOME!!!

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-
by wonkizzle - 2006-12-22 10:50:01
Calm down.

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.

ISO Launching Not Working

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...?
by - 2006-12-22 11:01:24
3.02 OE-A works flawlessly

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!!
by - 2006-12-22 11:06:01
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!

I have 3.02 already... How do i downgrade?? or will it work? Man this is confusing
by - 2006-12-22 11:10:57
NO downgrades availble to people with firmware above 2.71

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.
by - 2006-12-22 11:13:12
Evil Sony

Such a long wait.. Sony are evil doing these updates... why cannot they make Downgraders themselfs...
by - 2006-12-22 11:20:26
downgrade

Can you downgrade from 3.02 OE-A to regular 1.5? This is the only thing stopping me from doing this.
by - 2006-12-22 11:41:02
recovery menu

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

wtf??? HELP!!!!!!!!!

Yea... you just have to get a psx game first (it still needs to be bought trough a PS3)
by - 2006-12-22 11:47:50
NO

no, not yet, but once that downgrader is done you can downgrade and then upgrade to this

uninstall

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
by - 2006-12-22 11:55:59
Yes you can

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
by - 2006-12-22 12:00:26
150.pbp

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
by - 2006-12-22 12:09:46
Yays!

Same here... :P
by - 2006-12-22 12:10:49
...

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)
by - 2006-12-22 12:17:20
Read carefully people!

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.
by - 2006-12-22 12:30:18
?

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)
by - 2006-12-22 12:43:17
upgrade from 2.71b?

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.

by - 2006-12-22 14:21:39
yes

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.

great great

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

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?
by - 2006-12-22 14:47:12
dont get me wrong

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

Help please, bricked PSP

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.

i run the oeupdmaker on the psp, it restarts and says "the game could not be started (8002014C) any ideas?
by - 2006-12-22 23:26:23
yes, TA-82 version would be sweet

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?

by - 2006-12-23 02:00:12
Please let other people know about this

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!!!!!!!!
by - 2006-12-23 02:45:37
no

currently only 2.71 and under can be downgraded to 1.5 although a 2.8 downgrader is in the works
by - 2006-12-23 02:57:38

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!

by PSPZorZ - 2006-12-23 10:30:14
f

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.
by PSPZorZ - 2006-12-23 10:40:36
r

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!

The 3.02 OE upgrade simply won't launch, since there is no known method to launch homebrew on a 3.02 PSP.

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?

reencrypt

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

How to fix brick

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

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@yahoo.com). And a merry christmas to all, even the Jews!... damn Christ killers

from 2.6 to 1.5. Can i now go directly to 3.02 OE-A?

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!

help....

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?

got bricked

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?

MD5 and SHA1 that worked for me

My DATA.DXAR MD5 is 5bd5de55204bb8a407c0187c3da1040c and my SHA1 is bb43b06852826f446cca933927c3d54c50e151b1 -- 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...

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.

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 was wondering the same thing

Hey m8, dl the 1.5 update on this site, But will some one tell me where to get 3.02?!?!?!
by - 2006-12-31 21:34:11
NEWBS PLEASE READ THIS

If you have a firmware higher than 2.80, OR you have a TA-082 motherboard (look behind your UMD door), you CANNOT downgrade to run homebrew (yet), and thus CANNOT install this firmware. So please stop asking. That said, kudos to DA for his excellent work. I'm going to weep openly as soon as I can get SotN working on this thing...

Where can i DL the 3.02 firmware??? Am I just reading the readme wrong or what?

restore default settings

what I didnt find mentioned anywhere, is that... after the initial 3.02 oe upgrade you'll definitally want to use the "restore default settings" options from system settings menu, (before that was done, the network settings didn't work, and psx games didnt work either... after I did that reset everything worked sweet!) P.S. THANX to everyone who has contributed to make the psp a better system!

NO RECOVERY MODE??!! WTF!!

hi all, I am new to this. So what I did. Had a ta-82 mofo, followed all guides. Succesfully got inot 1.5 firmware, then did 3.02 OE-A and finally updated to 3.02 OE-B succesfully. System Information states 3.02 OE-B. However, a simple thing such as enabling WMA can't do it. I keep pressing R button on power up and I never see any options that poeple claim to have. So I am not getting into recovery mode. I followed a guide that said to REFORMAT the flash card. So I DID REFORMAT THE FLASH DRIVE. I guess it wiped out everything in there. Now was I supposed to keep any important stuff on the mem card? I am on 3.02 OE-B... WHY I CAN'T GET INTO RECOVERY MODE!!?? :-'(

hm

Sorry for the triple post... But I just found out it only gets stuck on a black screen if there is a UMD in the drive. If I remove the UMD and try to run my Need for Speed Underground Rivals ISO, I get an "error game could not be started" crap thing... I thought 3.02 OE-A was supposed to run ISO's so why isn't it?

One of the steps

This step I'm a little confused about: - Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP". Do I do this in the PSP itself? Because when I look in the files via the memory stick on the computer it doesn't list any 150 and 302PBPs.

3.01 - am I out of the game ?

I had a PSP with 1.50 firmware, and about a month ago I upgraded to 3.01 firmware from the official Sony site. Am I totally screwed now ? - From what I understand, you CANNOT even think of running this new custom firmware on a PSP if it doesn't have the original 1.5 firmware on it. Is there any way of getting back down to firmware version 1.5 ? or is this impossible. I am afraid I did upgraded, without even knowing about this firmware, and am rather disappointed now :-( thank you for any infos.
