BETA Custom Firmware 3.00 SE

Yayness.With all the recent developments within the PSP homebrew scene, it's actually starting to get a bit confusing to keep track of everything as releases have been coming out one after the other. This time around, though, we have yet another release that just might make people happy for today.

Over at the PSPCreative forums, french developer Dr. Download has just released the BETA version of his own Custom Firmware 3.00 SE.

For those who wish to test out this program, the creator has included some installation notes. Unfortunately, it's all in French, and we have to rely on Google Translate for this, so please bear with us:
  • You must be in 271SE C
  • To copy contained file from your Memory Stick
  • To copy the DATA.PSAR of firmware 3.00/3.01 with the root of Memory Stick
  • To launch PSARDUMPER
  • To launch the install of the 300SE
He also mentions a couple of bugs (again, translation courtesy of Google):
  • Navigator off
  • Management of the food(?) off (not to try to go there the psp goes freeze)
In the meantime, users from various discussion groups have remarked that the program cannot brick a PSP since nothing in the module or KD folders are affected. However, we would still advise exercising caution when attempting to install this.

(Thanks to pytrisss and mhornet18 for the tips!)

It works

I have it now. It works fine. Going to system settings will reflash Flash1. (BSOD)

Wow

This sounds like a definite step in the right direction. I wonder how this will compare to 2.71 SE in terms of functionality and compatibility once it's further developed.

well once they get all the bugs out im quite sure it will be better. Lets rip SONY a new one~!!!! ^^

Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye 3.00

Ha Ha, this is great! Great job guys, maybe you can collaborate with Dark_Alex and work out the bugs, and make the big 3.0, the new 1.5! Congrats!

Bugs

I found some bugs. And some 1/2 bugs. And some good bugs! 1) Go to system settings. You get the BSOD. The PSP will display the coldboot and the intial setup will pop up. Then the PSP will freeze. When you restart it, Flash1 will be rewritten. System settings will work after this. 2) Some features don't work due to the limited space in the flash Sad 3) Not really a bug, but system information says it's 2.71 4) Disabling the prx that it came with in the seplugins folder will disable the use of ISO's. 5) Going to Power Save Settings crashes the PSP 6) Network update is disabled! Yay!

The problem comes from space available on the nand of the PSP (the memory flash), with the clone of the modules of the 271SE Some homebrew do not pass return here Installation: * You must be in 271SE C * To copy contained file from your Memory Stick * To copy DATED it.PSAR of firmware 3.00/3.01 with the root of Memory Stick * To launch PSARDUMPER * To launch the install of the 300SE You here are in 300SE, this is a version beta and some bugs persists: * Navigator off * Management of the food off (not to try to go there the psp goes freezer)

dissapointed

Damn, after reading the headline it started to get exciting, but it's only a custom firmware, and you gotta be in 2.71. when will we 3.0 users get something interested.

recovery?

anybody with this know if you can still hold R on a coldboot and use the recovery mode
by - 2006-12-03 18:23:01
Another bad bug

1.00 eboots don't work :-(
by - 2006-12-03 18:23:13
nice

how's the ps3 connectivity, ps1 games, and/or ISO & Homebrew? If it's exactly like 2.71 SE with 3.00 features, i'll do it
by - 2006-12-03 18:24:14
Brick

IT'S A BRICKER (I'm glad that SE-C has recovery else I would be screwed)
by - 2006-12-03 18:26:31
translation

Well, "Management of the food" (as it's translated) means "Power save settings".
by - 2006-12-03 18:27:51
This is stolen

I can confirm that this is nothing more than a 2.71 SE C mod with 3.0 files installed. Team FWI (Firmware Investigators) Created this and have posted on Maxconsole many times before this person stole it an took the credit.
by - 2006-12-03 18:29:45
i saw that

they even have vids of it on youtube, btw whats the iso situation on this, can it play 2.81+ iso without devhook?
by - 2006-12-03 18:29:55
steeeaaallleeerr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dr dowload vs FWi

ok, the original idea and the implementation comes frim burdman and kando and the other membemrs of team FWi, theyre the one responsible on bringing this idea to life with their brave attempt on flashing their own psp's.. i know, coz ive been in theyre thread everytime... trying to refresh every minute just to see new replys... this dr download steals all the work and now releasing this buggy firmware.. *****s like this dont deserve to be in front of QJ.. please respect the team that does this.. dr download sucks ass... damn.. now i know why DA quits the scene...
by - 2006-12-03 18:31:30
wow

its true... my bf just did this guys mod the other day... but this one on QJ seems liek an easier instal dont you think?
by - 2006-12-03 18:31:53
ummm

by - 2006-12-03 18:31:53
3.00?

why the hell did you update to 3.00? im sure you were at 2.80 or 2.81 before, didnt you see Kando's work on it, and you still updated?

by - 2006-12-03 18:39:11
Keep SE-C

I don't like this new one too much. Too many bugs. Wait until the non-BETA release ;-) Most homebrew doesn't work. :-(
