BETA Custom Firmware 3.00 SE

Posted Dec 3, 2006 at 5:30PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: Custom Firmware, Dr. Download, Google, memory stick

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!)

(first)

reply on me baby NOW

# 500th POST — Guest 2006-12-03 13:01

OMGAWD I GAWT 500th POST WEWT!!!

# It works — Guest 2006-12-03 13:02

I have it now.

It works fine.

Going to system settings will reflash Flash1.

(BSOD)

# Wow — uhoh_hotdogs 2006-12-03 13:03

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.

# better — Guest 2006-12-03 13:04

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

# OMG — Guest 2006-12-03 13:05

Hey! PLEASE tell me everything about this and how it works and about isos and about homebrew working and all of that... PLEASE TELL!! and if there is a way to recover and such, THANK YOU

# hels yeah — XedLos 2006-12-03 13:05

Great Guys

# Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye 3.00 — Guest 2006-12-03 13:12

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 — Guest 2006-12-03 13:12

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!

# respect — Guest 2006-12-03 13:13

i'm the original creator of this mod with help from FWi, this dr downloads ***** is just a guy who made an installer of my mod and claimed he did everything. don't believe me qj, check at maxconsole ow long my mod has been out.

do not use this guys mod, it's bugged to hell and he's an idiot. qj get your facts right next time please

# the full english article — Guest 2006-12-03 13:13

i translated the full article from PSPCreative, but the article here besically says it all

-I present a version beta today to you of Custom Firmware 3.00, I worked above this week end and I succeeded has to arrive at something of step too badly, only the navigator and the menu of Management of the food does not go.

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)

# !!!!!!! — Guest 2006-12-03 13:13

I BRICKED MY PSP!!!!!! lol jk. i didnt try it but will after it will be better.

# flash — Guest 2006-12-03 13:13

I thought there wasn't enough flash or w/e?

# wth — seargent007 2006-12-03 13:14

OMG U MEAN....THAT NOOB WHO POSTED IN THE COMMENTS IN THAT OTHER ARTICLE WASN'T LIEING!?

# cool — Guest 2006-12-03 13:15

sounds great anyone else test it wich is better 1.5 psp with dev h 2.82 or 2.7 se or this

i could help translate text i speak french and spanish also if that helps

# dissapointed — Guest 2006-12-03 13:20

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? — Flight 2006-12-03 13:21

anybody with this know if you can still hold R on a coldboot and use the recovery mode

# Another bad bug — Guest 2006-12-03 13:23

1.00 eboots don't work :-(

# nice — Guest 2006-12-03 13:23

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

# Brick — Guest 2006-12-03 13:24

IT'S A BRICKER

(I'm glad that SE-C has recovery else I would be screwed)

# translation — Guest 2006-12-03 13:26

Well, "Management of the food" (as it's translated) means "Power save settings".

# This is stolen — Guest 2006-12-03 13:27

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.

# i saw that — Guest 2006-12-03 13:29

they even have vids of it on youtube,

btw whats the iso situation on this, can it play 2.81+ iso without devhook?

# steeeaaallleeer r!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! — Guest 2006-12-03 13:29

dude,thats not kewl at all what u did!!!

*****get , the owner should kick ur sorry butt off!

# dr dowload vs FWi — Guest 2006-12-03 13:30

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...

# wow — Guest 2006-12-03 13:31

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?

# ummm — Guest 2006-12-03 13:31

so does this have any new features...... should i keep sec or go to then new sea

# 3.00? — Guest 2006-12-03 13:31

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?

# first post is a tard — Guest 2006-12-03 13:32

25th! yay! people who "yay first post" are tards

# nu uh — Guest 2006-12-03 13:38

no tard IM NOT A TARD >:(

# Keep SE-C — Guest 2006-12-03 13:39

I don't like this new one too much.

Too many bugs.

Wait until the non-BETA release

Most homebrew doesn't work. :-(
