Dark AleX's latest 2.71 Custom Firmware update - SE-B"

Posted Nov 2, 2006 at 12:41AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Hacks & Exploits, News Tags: Custom Firmware, memory stick, psp exploits, psp hacks

Dark_AleX has yet again updated his awesome 2.71 SE-B custom firmware. Now at v2, or B", the firmware has matured very well, and offers a truckload of features. Here's what's new in the latest update:

Added SFO version bypass to real umd's. (this should enable gta vcs umd to be played.)
Fixed the problem of error 0x8002012D in certain games when plain modules is enabled. Because the problem is gone, the updater will reset the option of plain modules to enabled. If for some reason you still have that error, report it and disable the option, but it should be fixed now.
Found and corrected 3 bugs regarding no umd.

- One of them affected Virtual Tennis and potentially a lot of other games.
- The other two affected GTA LCS and GTA VCS.
- Some games like Burnout Legend still don't run in no-umd because of what seems a kernel stack problem.

Since this is just an update to the already released SE-B, the best way to get your PSP up to this firmware is by either installing SE-A first, and doing all the incremental updates (SE-B, SE-B', and this one SE-B"), or by installing the full version of SE-B and then going on to do the incremental updates (SE-B' and SE-B"). Our recommendation would be to first install SE-A and then do incremental updates, since that method has proven to be quite fool-proof. Click on the respective custom firmware links to be taken to its release article.

Finally, for everyone here who has been updating regularly and for those who've now reached SE-B', all you have to do is put the extracted folder in your memory stick and run the update. Remember to change the folder name to GAME if you've changed the related setting in the Recovery Menu, but those will be quite rare. Enjoy the download below!

only 3 games show up on my psp when i'm in the game section of my psp, even though i put 6 games in the ISO folder. I dont know if it's b/c i'm using a 4GB Scandisk stick while running SE-B''...well i been having the same problem with all versions of SE-B. Can some one help or let me know how i can relay this info to Dark_Alex?

# hhhhmmm — Guest 2006-11-02 03:21

it can't not.

# . — Guest 2006-11-02 03:31

I'll tell you in about 2 minutes because im about to update

# vcs — Guest 2006-11-02 03:35

my VCS worked well just with NOUMD - on and UMD in drive present...no fu*king swaping :) a thought this would run VCS without umd in drive but what the heck... its cool anyway :)

# Pspbrew ''doesn't recognise'' fix — Guest 2006-11-02 03:37

A guy on the Psp Mirc chan called ''Miktar'' told me this fix that might work for you. Just make sure that your Psp Memory Stick has a file on it called ''MEMSTICK.IND''. If it does not have one create an empty text file and name it this.

Pspbrew will not work without this file. By the way, if you set your homebrew folder Game as 1.5 Kernel, you don't need anything else and can run everything apart from 2.71 specific homebrew.

# Devhook, anyone? — Guest 2006-11-02 03:45

Is it possible to emulate this firmware with Devhook? I want to test the firmware first before installing it. And can I use my kxploited 1.5 EBOOTs with this? I'm new to this custom Firmware.

# YAY — Guest 2006-11-02 03:47

YES! I love this

# cwcheat — Guest 2006-11-02 03:49

in case anybody is wondering, i used CWCheat

all i did was uninstall it before updating (to be safe)

updated to B"

installed CWCheat

it didnt brick and still works

I hope an update for USB ISO loading comes out soon; that's what I really want most. Great work Dark_Alex

# thanks for greatness — Guest 2006-11-02 03:59

hi there i bet dark alex is bored of everyone praising him but i think he deserves it.

thanks all the work is greatly appretiated.

this firmware is just amazing.

updates coming so quick is great too.

so on behalf of everyone thanks

# wow — Guest 2006-11-02 04:47

that's amzing work. running vcs with the umd in it's case! battery life should hold up better now.

Next up, a 333mhz switch hopefully...

# slim drive — Guest 2006-11-02 05:02

what we really need is a way to install a slim hard drive or flash drive and support for more than 4gb.

# .. — Guest 2006-11-02 05:08

great improvements....now the no umd support is improved i think i might not bother with umd, since it wastes the battery

great work dark alex, these custom firmware updates are awesome

# FW 2.5 — Guest 2006-11-02 05:24

Can someone please help me.

Girls are not good at this sort of thing....

Can I have a step by step of how to get from 2.5 to 2.71

No I am not blond!!!

Thanks

Claire

# Well 2.71 supports 8GB — Guest 2006-11-02 05:28

Well 2.71 supports 8GB and that driver hasn't been removed in SE

# 1.50 vs SE-B'' — Guest 2006-11-02 05:29

Well Im with good ol 1.50 because this is the Gooooolden firmware or so I read somewhere.

Why should I put this instead of leaving 1.50? Any1 know about some thread about the pros and cons of this and 1.50?

Cheers m8's!!

# . — Guest 2006-11-02 05:50

Sorry I got busy. Anyway yes all four of mine show up (Family Guy, Medal Of Honor, Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins, and GTA:VCS) And I have a Sony 4GB

# 2.71 — Guest 2006-11-02 05:51

2.71 does not support 8GB memory sticks, it was added in 2.8.

# . — Guest 2006-11-02 05:52

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.

I upgrade to 2.71SE when Rev. B came out and I love it.

# pros and cons — Guest 2006-11-02 05:55

sorry to tell you this but 2.71-SE B" has no cons it can do everything 1.5 can and a lot of things 1.5 can't.

2.71-SE B" can do

-----------------------

--Remove boot intro

--Recovery mode

--run app/game at boot

--can run 3 eboots 1.5 / 1.0 / 2.71

--no umd on a lot of games!!!

--everything sony added since 1.5 (wallpaper/rss/web browser/wma/flash)

--many many others

Just update you can always downgrade back to 1.5

# Thanks Annonymous Coward — Guest 2006-11-02 06:06

Thanks, it works well, now coooooooool

# nope — UberBiggs 2006-11-02 06:19

Greater than 4Gb support was added in 2.81, not 2.80

this is awesome! now, how do i put homebrew in my psp without getting corrupt icons?

# ... — Guest 2006-11-02 06:57

lol. good for you dude.

# hm — Guest 2006-11-02 07:02

Yesterday i had 1.5. Now im using this. What I did:

1. Downloaded SE-B New User Build from http://pspupdates.qj.net/2-71-SE-B-Installers/pg/49/aid/70730

2. Plugged my PSP into my computer and ran the program I downloaded in step 1. The install seemed to get stuck at 63%. I plugged my PSP into the charger and it resumed.

3. The installer put a new program into my PSP. I ran that and it installed SE-B.

4. I deleted unecessary files (optional).

5. Downloaded this update that you can find right here on this page.

6. Opened it up and copied the "PSP" folder into my PSP, replacing the original.

7. Turned off (not sleep) my PSP and turned it back on while holding the R trigger. This lets you change some options (like being able to run ISOs without a UMD in your PSP), but this step is optional.

8. Enjoyed my VCS UMD and all the other things SE-B 3 offers!

# 333mhz... — Guest 2006-11-02 07:11

ThX!! Great Work!!!

Can i use the previous 333mhz patch or do i have to wait for the new one?

# are u sure? — Guest 2006-11-02 07:27

ARE U SURE U CAN DOWNGRADE BACK TO 1.5!!! because it u cant.....it sux etc.

# no more FW version checks?! — Guest 2006-11-02 07:36

Am i correct in assuming that because it will run the VCS UMD without doing a FW version check that ANY game will run regardless of the FW version?

# Wicked — Guest 2006-11-02 07:44

ermm.... i dont understand by not putting UMD inside to play the game ...

i'm currently on 2.71 SE-B" but yet i still have to put a UMD inside if not the game doesnt load ... its says The Game Coudn't be started or something like tat .... so i juz have to leave a UMD inside in order to play the ISO .... btw ... the game is NFS Carbon ... and also if i dont use devhook and load it directly ... after playing halfway ... the game hangs ... other game like dragonball or me and my katamari is ok .... only NFS Carbon is giving me prob

# Yes — Guest 2006-11-02 07:48

All custom modules are working with it! And if you have installed it on B' it ist installed also on B'' without reinstalling!

# can anyone answer this? — Guest 2006-11-02 07:59

Can i downgrade back to 1.5 from installing this?

# Wicked — Guest 2006-11-02 08:05

ok ok ... i can play without using UMD d ... haha didnt read the arrr forum properly ... why would u wan to downgrade after using this firmware ? i think can downgrade ... juz tat i dont know how .... lolz ...

for ppl using 2.5 firmware or 2.51 or 2.52 ....... go download 2.71 firmware and upgrade .... then downgrade to 1.5 then only upgrade to 2.71 SE-B" ....

make sure your PSP is not TA-082 ... if not ... HO HO HO ... All U wan for Christmas is another PSP ... =D

# hen c — Guest 2006-11-02 08:11

just get the iso for now

# can i dowgrade to 1.5 again? — Guest 2006-11-02 08:12

Can anyone tell me if i can downgrade to 1.5 again? It would be much appreciative with good description for the reason why this modified firmware is better than 1.5.

I would not want this modified firmware if i cant use my homebrew.

Any answer to this is likely to get you many stars, since many noobies will be asking the same thing i asked. (yes i also cussed myself).

Thanks.

No messing around and eat your vegitables.

# cso — Guest 2006-11-02 08:14

my cso runs perfectly

# hm — Guest 2006-11-02 08:16

someone answer this man because i would also like to know

# reply — Guest 2006-11-02 08:16

just update, if you don't like the firmware you can downgrade again.

# im new to all this — Guest 2006-11-02 08:24

with this fw can i run homebrew from the "game" menu like on 1.5? im never tried to install a cutom fw before.

# OH NO — Guest 2006-11-02 08:29

I cant seem to run any of my homebrew on this modified firmware!

1.5 users, i advise that u stay with your 1.5 etc.

I hope to god there is a downgrader for this in the future so i can play my atari games using the atari emulator for the PSP.

Fine, the good thing about this is the ISO loader and devhook etc. But i really would like to see my old snes\atari\nes\ megadrive working again.

So let me ask once more IS THERE A DOWNGRADER AT ALL! Dont even say 'i think there is'. Its either a YES or a NO!!!

# damn — Guest 2006-11-02 08:31

VCS works great (with a little lag but thats why we're waiting for the 333mhz switch) but now MLB the show wont load. Ill have to downgrade and go back to SE-B and see if its the ISO or if SE-B" just doesnt workwith it. Maybe its just me...

# Waahh — Guest 2006-11-02 08:37

I hope that this becomes emulatable or a 2.81+ game loader becomes available. Dark Alex rocks regardless, but I choose not to touch my firmware 1.5 flash unless/until I have a UP modchip where I than can leisurely play around with my flash anyway that I want. It's cool that you guys enjoy this HB. I guess I better improve on my C++ skills or find the cash for UP and installation quick.

# Waahh — Guest 2006-11-02 08:38

# I am a bigfoot — Guest 2006-11-02 08:40

Did you enter the Recovery Mode and enable "NO-UMD" Mode?

If so, I don't know what happens ^^

If not, DO IT and READ the README

# reply — Guest 2006-11-02 08:55

download firmware 2.71 from the dl section in this website.

next make a folder called update and place it in:

ms0:/psp/game/(here)

finally go to the game folder and you will see the update to 2.71 folder and select and run it.

# Oh Noes! — Guest 2006-11-02 08:58

# recovery info — Guest 2006-11-02 08:58

do a complete power off on the psp and then power it back on and hold the R trigger, you will get to the recovery menu. from there go to the no UMD option and you are on your way.

# Waahh — Guest 2006-11-02 09:00

# yes — Guest 2006-11-02 09:03

yes you can downgrade. all you have to do is put the 1.5 eboot in a folder called recovery located at /psp/game/recovery/(put eboot of 1.5 here) of your psp and then hard reset psp and hold the R trigger and enter the recovery menu and select the run program at /psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp

# to play homebrew... — Guest 2006-11-02 09:09

you need to place the file in a folder called GAME150 located in psp/game150 also for the games to work you need to place them in a folder of there own for example the snes emulator. location psp/GAME150/snes/ ((program and folders) you can also include the ROM folder here too.)

and regarding downgrading yes you can downgrade it is very easy. yes you can downgrade. all you have to do is put the 1.5 eboot in a folder called recovery located at /psp/game/recovery/(put eboot of 1.5 here) of your psp and then hard reset psp and hold the R trigger and enter the recovery menu and select the run program at /psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp

# Setting corrupted — Guest 2006-11-02 09:16

I just followed frugis instructions and after installing the new user build. i flashed it, it reboted to a screen that said setting were corrupt and now I can go into the menu, what happened.

# downgrade from SE-B possible — Guest 2006-11-02 09:18

All the information for downgrading back to 1.5 from 2.71 SE-B is included in the readme of the 2.71 SE-B .rar archive. You'll need the official sony 1.5 update eboot file as well.

Most homebrew written for 1.5 runs on SE-B - however it needs to be placed in a GAME150 dir (placed in the PSP dir) (or alternatively you can configure SE-B to use the normal GAME dir for 1.5 homebrew using the recovery console - press R shoulder button on boot).

I see the advantage of SE-B as all the benefits of devhook without all the devhook files cluttering my memory stick. Plus the fact the browser runs faster (since its loading from the flash rather than the memory stick).

I don't want any 'stars' just rtm next time...

ji

# see my reply above concerning downgrading — Guest 2006-11-02 09:20

^^^

# polonius — Guest 2006-11-02 09:26

polonius is almost right - as it happens sonys eboot update files can't be run from the recovery without some extra files - fortunately dark_alex included them with his SE-B release. ji

# 2.71 — Guest 2006-11-02 09:38

can you put this on a psp with 2.71 on it or is it just to put on a 1.50?

Alex bruv, can I just say this firmware is the bollocks mate. my mates are 2 scared to upgrade f_ucking p_ussys but anyway. I just want to congratulate and ask a favour for the next revision, can u try and mod the eboot reading code so it will read the weird .sfo files that usually show up as corrupt (the ones u usually have to run the javav eboot fixer on@) cheers blood keep up the good f_ucking work! peace out

# d — Guest 2006-11-02 12:25

yeah, the homebrew is the same as 1.5

This is an awsome release DA, thankyou

# p — Guest 2006-11-02 12:32

In recovery mode you can check hide corrupted icons

ps. I thought bollocks were bad +/

# ;p — Guest 2006-11-02 13:19

look for the 2.5 to 1.5 downgrader, then upgrade to 2.71 se-a, then to b, then to b', then to this one

# Do This. — Guest 2006-11-02 13:49

Turn off your psp, (all the way, not sleep mode) hold 'R' before turning your psp on, then go through the menu and you can disable corrupt icons, (If you have recovery mode, that corrupt icon won't go away.)

# Wrong Version Number — Mentality 2006-11-02 14:48

It's V3 :S

2.71SE-A - V1 of A - Proof Of Concept/Prototype

2.71SE-B - V1 of B

2.71SE-B' - V2 of B

2.71SE-B" - V3 of B

# iso/cso — Guest 2006-11-02 15:28

It also runs isos + csos from the XMB, without DevHook. It is will run dax files in the future "C" update.

# Waitin'... — Guest 2006-11-02 16:04

Lucky for 2.71 users.. still waitin' for 2.80.

# Will lose the ability to hot swap — Guest 2006-11-02 16:18

Warning do not update, the hot swap trick will not work once you update. Also this DOES NOT WORK ON THE UMD version of GTAVCS. If, it does can someone please post Step-by-Step instructions? Really pissed cuz I am missing out on my GTA action. Thanks All

# v2? — Guest 2006-11-02 16:43

This should be SE-B3 rather than B2.

Dark_Alex released a B2 earlier but it was never mentioned on qj.net. Every other site had it though.

# maybe not — axelixc 2006-11-02 17:08

i dun have vcs umd. no doubt vcs cso run in no-umd mode but some iso like atv pro which has the same sfo version as vcs (v2.81) is not bootable yet. so i also assume this se-b'' will bypass vcs fw version chk but not all games.

# 86th! HAH! — Guest 2006-11-02 17:20

Awesome. Small (well, kinda...) updates, but non the less, I think evey homebrew user owes Dark_Alex a thank you! (or money, or a gold statue)!

# Works — Guest 2006-11-02 18:27

Thanks DA you are the man. Keep up the good work. Do not get discouraged if it does not work the first time. Took a few times for GTAVCS UMD to work with new update.

# problem — Guest 2006-11-02 18:45

everytime i exit devhook after playing vcs iso at 333 mhz and then turn devhook back on later to play the game, it freezes. then it says i have 2 gbs free space on my memstick, but thats not possible.

i plug my psp in the usb and check to see if the iso deleted itself, but its still there. like a dummy file. it sucks because everytime that happens i have to go into fastloader and rip it again.

i have 1.5

anyone know why this is happening?

# QUESTION — Guest 2006-11-02 19:06

Hey guys, Im not exactly a noob or anything... I have everything working on this SE version except I cant get the isos to load. I put it on the memory stick in the iso folder thats on the root of the stick and I cant get it to load. My homebrew works fine as well as my games (D_A frickin ROCKS!) but Im confused about the isos as Ive never really ran one before. Can anyone help? Maybe a little step by step guide or something? Id really appreciate it. Thanks everyone.

# Re — Guest 2006-11-03 01:26

yeah i have a sony 4gig as well but i have never had any problems with my iso's not showing up. I am also running the latest update. it could be a corrupt iso. but even then it should show up but would not load.

# re — Guest 2006-11-03 01:29

Its been tried and failed. people tried to put in a Ipod hard drive and it failed to work properly. plus there is no room for it. inside the psp.

# did you.... — Guest 2006-11-03 04:48

place the ISO folder in:

ms0:/ISO

are you actually running ISO?

and finally do you have a UMD in the psp? if you dont and you dont have 2.71 SE B" you dont have the ability to go to recovery mode (hard reset and when powering on hold the R trigger button) and change the configuration to allow no UMD.

# YES — Guest 2006-11-03 04:51

the answer is yes and in a good way. but its suggested to upgrade in tiers first with revision B' then B''.

# My homebres from memory sticks wont run after the upgrade — Guest 2006-11-03 05:09

The new version is great - (all my commercial UMD's work though). But I am having problems accessing the memory stick games after upgrade: I had about dozen Homebrew games - but NONE of them work since I upgraded to 2.71 SE B.

I tried everything the documentation suggested - e.g. having the game in GAME150 / GAME271 / GAME folder within /PSP - but none of the combination work - they all result in the PSP searching the memory stick (light comes on) and after 4 seconds rebooting itself after I click on the memory stick!

Can you reccomed a Homebrew that really works that I can download - so I can make sure that it is not my set up that is causing the problem [so far tried with Doom / Quake / Supermario / Dungens and Pokemon Keeper - but they all did the same thing.

# 2.81 — Guest 2006-11-03 06:24

there are so many people waiting for something for 2.81 ta-082 users i know because i am one of them no homebrew for like a month and a half this really sucks....i got mine this way and i cant wait....lol

# Fantastic! — Guest 2006-11-03 07:07

Fantastic new FW revision.

Why is everyone scared of bricking there PSP's?

Seriously, it comes down to this unless you have a mod chip there is a likelihood of a brick WHENEVER you flash anything to flash0

however:

1. do not have a UMD in the drive

2. Have a full battery and keep the charger plugged in whilst flashing.

Secondly I have had a PSP for 3 weeks and in this amount of time i have been able to find out all the info i needed to mod my psp.

what i don't seem to get is these people that keep asking for a new version of the FW to be hacked.

what they think theres no demand for it? of course there is and people just need to wait and not complain (or do it themselves if its that easy)

# No-UMD mode pwns!!! — Guest 2006-11-03 09:26

I've been using the firmwares since Alex (the ownage master) brought out B, it's been a welcome change to 1.5 (even though 1.5 was the best for sooo long) and the features work amazing (unless you have kxploited stuff, then u'll get some corrupted data boxes). The best option he has so far is the No-UMD option, it works amazingly with EVERYTHING, and i've been running ISOs like GTA: VCS and NFS: Carbon on it perfectly!!!

Try out the overclocking vsh module too, it's real handy. =D

# lol — Guest 2006-11-03 10:59

# help FW 2.6 to 2.71 SE B — Guest 2006-11-03 12:20

upgrade to 2.71 (use official sony update)

then downgrade to 1.5 (use the 2.71 to 1.5 down grader) then upgrade 2.71 SE-A > SE-B > SE-B' > SE-B''

# Valkyrie Profile — McSesameChicken 2006-11-03 19:39

Hrm... Today I updated from SE-B to SE-B' and then SE-B", and most things are working great for my PSP. Only thing is, whereas Valkyrie Profile was working fine before, now when I get into a battle in it, the PSP freezes for about 20 seconds before crashing. Is anyone else having any trouble with any games, and is there a way to fix it?

# >> — Guest 2006-11-04 00:35

I have this problem once. This could be the memory stick. When it happens to me, also my homebrews show up as corrupted data.

You can try this: go to the PSP/SYSTEM folder and delete de isocache.bin (this file is a index of your files on ISO foder) then check again

# i know why dark alex doesnt want to release it yet — Guest 2006-11-04 02:36

You guys dont get it it Dark Alex is wait for the sony to release the new update so then he can easy hack it and doest have to do more work if he dark alex relase it now then the next update they make it hard for dark alex to hack it. becase they will extract this files and find what he did and make it harder to make it hard for dark alex to hack it

This makes absolute No Sense, what are you talking about????

Hello, Im kinda new to the psp scene but I have been doing some research into custom firmware and what not, I was just wondering what all this firmware would allow me to do. The things I was hoping it would allow me to do was run emulators and iso files ripped from psp games. If it can do I need any other programs or files to do this?

# Valkyrie Profile a no go — Guest 2006-11-13 05:16

I installed Dark Alex's 2.71 SE-B and the first time i could not load anything off my memory stick, BUT, i could have gotten past the first battle in Valkyrie Profile (VP) (the one with Angrim).

Then i put the REV3 eboot into a boot folder in PSP/GAME and ran that file from the Recovery boot up in SE-B. This solved my memory card reading problem, HOWEVER, now every time i get into a battle in VP, the battle music starts, then the screen stays black and eventually my psp shuts off..... Can someone please help me fix this if there is indeed a way.

# YES!!!!!!! — ISOmaster 2006-11-13 05:44

thanks DarkAlex ur the best

# compress — ISOmaster 2006-11-13 05:46

if u want more games to fit on ur memory chip ur going to have to compress the ISOs

# Valkyrie Profile does NOT WORK!!! — Guest 2006-11-13 07:44

I just recently updated myself to 2.71 SE-B with REV 3 and for some reason, VP frezzes when i get into a battle. I really like Dark Alex's custom Firmware so a big thanks to you, BUT PLEASE find a way to resolve this issue with VP as the game is like one of the best on the market right now, and it would be greatly appreciated if i could play it once more... P.S. my friend also did the same thing and his VP does not work either.

# 2.71 SE-B version — Guest 2006-11-13 17:49

Question for all of you. Is it actually somehow possible to run the 2.71 SE-B firmware emulated through devhook? In other words, if I put all the 2.71 SE-B files into the 2.71 directory of devhook, could devhook emulate the firmware? I would like to run my GTA VCS without patching my real PSP.

If not, can one successfully remove the 2.71 SE-B firmware from the PSP at any given time?

Am am waiting for the firmware 3.0 from Sony which most likely will include features such as cam and GPS functions and I don't want to run into the problem of not being able to update to any real FW. I was thinking about Sony and securing all their FW's. What would happen if Sony checks the memory and finds out that the current running firmware is not matching with the checksum and therefore will refuse to update due to unknown modifikations. I really would prefer to run the great firmware emulated rather than patching my real PSP. Is there any way and if so, how???

Please email me under FalconNic@Hotma il.com if you should have any solutions or answers for me. Thanks alot and with best regards,

Falcon Nic

# need help — eric 2006-11-15 02:17

I'm using harleyg's custom fw 0.2, and I want to change to 2.71 SE-B, can I directly flash the 2.71 SE-B fw, or do I need to flash back to original official fw 1.5?

# lolz — Guest 2006-11-16 06:13

2.81 or 2.82 allows 8gb mem cards to be used.

can i afford one... first lets w8 4 a devhook 2.82...

# The Help you Need — Guest 2006-11-16 12:12

Ok for the person who said they installed SE-B and cannot load off memory stick here's what you do: 1) get the Rev3 file off this site (it is the 3rd revision of SE-B) and unzip it. 2) make a folder in the PSP/GAME directory called BOOT so..... PSP/GAME/BOOT, stick the eboot file you got from REV3 into the newly created BOOT folder. 3) hard poweroff your psp and turn it back on WHILE HOLDING THE "R" BUTTON, in that screen go to configuration and look for the option autoload Eboot from PSP/GAME/BOOT or something like that and ENABLE it.... exit, and before your psp goes to desktop it will autoload the BOOT folder and upgrade the 2.71 SE-B version on your psp and now you will be able to access your memory stick

the second question... if you wanna go back to 1.5 FW without 2.71 SE-B just stick the recovery folder packed in the 2.71 SE-B zip file you downloaded and stick in the 1.50 original Firmware (you probably also downloaded) except before putting it in the recovery folder with the other eboot RENAME the 1.50 FW file to UPDATE.PBP. Once both files are in the recovery folder stick it in the PSP/GAME.... so PSP/GAME/RECOVERY (with 2 eboots 1 being the FW1.5/UPDATE.PBP and the other being the Eboot in the recovery folder) now hard poweroff the psp, turn it back on HOLDING THE "R" BUTTON and select the option that says something like load PSP RECOVERY to 1.50 or something like that and let it do it's thing... before you know it you'll be back to 1.50

# THANK YOU! — Guest 2006-11-16 17:41

Loved this when I had a PSP 2.71 in my hands. The analog stick was broken so got my 2.8 back, same day eLoader comes out, so it all worked out:).

# What are these for? — Dartan 2006-11-16 17:57

Why does "B-3" have a dh (devhook) folder at the root but not the Devhook folders in the game dir like the old 1.5 fashion?

Is Devhook even really needed? If so for what?

Also can someone explain to me the point of the GAME folder and the GAME150 folder? I know that's where you're supposed to put the HB apps and such ... but why the two different folders??

Thanks for any useful input.

# memory card setup — Guest 2006-11-16 18:21

# HELP!!!! — eric 2006-11-17 03:35

I'm now using Harleyg's custom fw 0.2,

How should I install the 2.71 SE-B?

Do I need to return to original fw 1.5 first?

# Repl-Help you need — taltek 2006-11-20 17:35

Thanks for the explain, but tried this and still can't see games off the mem stick. PIcs and music is OK. System info shows me at B" so your suggestion worked in that regard. Anyone else have a suggestion?

# Disappearing ISO's — Guest 2006-11-21 16:43

# yehehahahehea — Guest 2006-11-22 01:03

this happens to me and I already fix it ! before, when I play NFS Carbon in few second the game freeze and we need to start again and again. Actually we need to change something in the devhook setting ! I forgot what was that; but, I think you need to change the firmwire version (in the devhook not on the psp!) to 1.5 or 2.71 (flash) [I don't remember but when I check my psp firmwire in system info the firmwire show me 2.71 SE-A (this should be 2.71 SE-B2 or 2.71 SE-B2) ehehehe] and make the devhook start without restart the psp, I think.

sorry, my bad english ! I still waiting for Firmwire 3.00 SE-B cameout because I saw my friend psp, the sony psp add many new stuff like we can use camera and take video !
