help me plss...

i have 3.11 firmware...is this gonna work for 3.11 firmware??..pls reply me...teach me how to upgrade
by - 2007-04-16 07:24:32
Nope

You need firmware 3.03 or lower to get this. Go to this site for some guides: www.psp-temple.com
by - 2007-04-16 07:28:47
im sorry...

you must have a firmware that can run homebrew. unfortunaltely, yours does NOT run homebrew (currently.) You must have at least a firmware of 1.5 to 3.10 OE-A' You cannot update to a custom firmware directly from an official firmware such as 3.11. In short. You can't update to it (with your current firmware.) Sorry. If you wait long enough though, a downgrader may come for your psp firmware.

3.30 downgrader

So does anyone have a clue when they are going to come out with a downgraders. Sad to say, I have just recently found out that you can do all of this stuff with your psp and I am already upgraded to 3.30 sony.
by - 2007-04-16 11:55:02
problems will come eventually.

and the custom icons still do have probs. Can brick your psp if you have the wrong one. and who knows,there might be more cons coming.
by - 2007-04-16 11:57:33
dude.

Why did you upgrade. You didn't know about homebrew or something? (makes sense) Sadly, it will take forever to downgrade a newer firmware. Every security hole is pretty much patched. The developers never really did hack it, just merely bypass the security.
by - 2007-04-16 11:59:23
such as this...

one more to the cons list.

QJ CA$$$HE$ IN!!!

hi, QJ making mad profit off this recent news. And they are smart too. Make several update news before the real release, generate around 3000 jumps. Then post the real release generating an astounding 1300 jumps within 12 hours!!! Then continue the click-bait news with more OE updates!! ROFL!! Don't believe me? User Favorites - April Top Jumps Dark_AleX releases 3.30 O (1184) Countdown? 3.30 OE custom (711) 3.30 OE Custom FW update: (619) Dark_AleX now working on (551) Daedalus R10 launched (an (528) *UPDATE* 3.30 OE in actio (487) 3.30 OE custom firmware d (467) And these are only the Unregistered ones. I wonder how much $$$$ they made off Google ads. Anyone know how much Googal ads pay per click? By the way QJ is one of the most bloated websites I've ever seen on the intreweb. Opera ask to disable google script for it to fetch QJ!!!
by - 2007-04-16 14:18:48
15 cents...

They make like 15 cents per click. So its like 680 bucks or something... Jesus.

Popsloader? Pal support?

I read that the 3.30 OE-A there is a problem with the popsloader? does that mean that it can't play PSX games? or ISOS? and in the 3.10 OE-A DAX added PAL support to the psx emulator. is pal support like multi player option or what?

thanks so much, butI'll wait

I defanitely will update SOMEday to a newer custom firmware, but 3.03 OEC is the best still according to me. custom icons, and no features yet to make me need 3.30. if you get custom icons working again though for 3.30 OEB or something though, then you better bet you'll have my download.
by - 2007-04-17 02:31:14
me

i upgraded from 3.03 oe_c to 3.10 oe_a' because 3.03 oe_c cannot run 20gb ps3 remote play via home wifi, but the 3.10 oe_a' can. now i can browse on my psp using ps3 browser technology, flash9 yeah.

3.10 Official Firmware to 3.30 OE?

Can you upgrade / downgrade from Sony's official 3.10 to 3.30 OE? Is there a 3.10 official downgrader yet? Thanks...
by - 2007-04-17 08:12:00
Google Ads

I get about 5-15 cents per click on my site.
by - 2007-04-17 09:33:21
POPS is already built-in the firmware.

Im not sure about the 3.30 OE b/c it is still not clear on what is still built in and what is removed. In my case (a firmware 3.03 OE-C) I just put the eboot game (converted with a converter found here on dl.qj.net, and converts img. iso, CD, etc.) and place the file(s) in a folder located in PSP\GAME\*name of foleder*\EBOOT.pbp. The iso folder is used for backed up games from the umd.
by - 2007-04-17 09:39:23
No.

You can't upgrade from an official firmware to a custom firmware. And you know the answer to the downgrader. If there is one then it will be all over the internet in seconds. (Still not sure? The answer is no. Currently there is no word on any downgraders.)
by - 2007-04-17 09:45:54
currently

you can't. If you can somehow manage to combine the two discs then you might be able to do so.
by - 2007-04-17 09:48:53
Seriously...

Do you know how many people are able to mod a psp? Not that many compared to the newbies coming everytime. Besides, modchips can cause errors with a custom firmware so its not as good as a standard psp.
by - 2007-04-17 10:18:12
cool

^^^ thats cool. i like 330oe. some plugins dont work but newer versions will come out shortly.
