Dark_AleX releases 3.30 Open Edition Revision A |
Ó
It's out, folks! Dark_AleX has finally released the latest in his series of Open Edition firmware - the much-awaited 3.30 Open Edition Rev A! This is serious cause for celebration especially after days of waiting for DaX to finally give word on what's up with his work (and what's up with his PSP). 3.30 OE-A retains all of the original Sony 3.30 FW functions - PSOne game library support, Internet navigator, etc. - but because Dark_AleX is THE man, he's added a lot of features and changes to his latest custom FW (some taken from PSPGen's release notes).
- Homebrew support under either 1.50 or 3.30 kernel
- Region spoofing
- Patched a protection that prevents the FW to load higher firmware modules
- Fixed a bug that could have caused instability in 3.10 OE after recovering from sleep mode
- Recovery Mode
- Direct launching of PSOne games (converted with PSP format)
- Direct launching of demos and homebrews
- Possibility of regulating hte speed of the PSP's processor
- Direct launching of ISOs/CSOs
For the full installation guide, please go over the Readme. It's there for a reason. We know you're all excited about the 3.30 OE-A but be mindful of what you're doing. Take caution. This can only be installed to PSPs with firmwares 1.50, 2.71 SE, 3.02 OE, 3.03 OE, or 3.10 OE. Downgrade first if your PSP has a different FW. 3.30 OE-A cannot be installed to PSPs with FW 3.10, 3.11, or 3.30.
And enjoy!
Thanks to Eranmane and blackrave for the tip!

It was reported by many that original Sony FW 3.30 cannot be installed on TA-082's with custom FW (3.10 OE-A', etc.), because it is patched (i.e. "corrupted").
Any information about 3.30 OE-A addressing this problem? Some TA-082 ppl even BRICKED their rig when updating 3.10 OE-A to official 3.30 FW! It is quite possible that those of us having this motherboard will have to wait for next 3.30 OE update...
Please, all of you with luck or brick, report here with enough technical info about your HW, previous FW version, etc. It will help others to avoid possibly serious problems in the future.
Thanks,
See you! :o)

i THINK DARK ALEX NEED TO MAKE A PROGRAM THAT JUST AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADES AND IF THE FIRMware is wrong, instead of bricking it, it will not update. that way all the newbees wont be asking this question over and over. a pop up message should come up that says "You almost bricked your psp you idiot, you cannot update"

Status menu doesn't freeze anymore
Gaining a star level DOES freeze
I'm not sure if gaining a level froze in the past, but it does now. I played up until the Komodo Dragon Mother (first star level) and after I defeated it, it froze. Didn't even get to the menu, just froze upon defeating the dragon.

What I persoanlly did was put my gameboot.pmf on flash1 at the same place you will find it on flash0 "/vsh/resources/" then once you open the opening_plugin.prx in a hex editor search for the string "flash0:/vsh/resource/gameboot.pmf" and just change "flash0" to "flash1" so it will look for the gameboot.pmf there instead.

Put the files on your memory stick.
Make sure there's 4 copies of the files.
Place your PSP in the microwave, and hit defrost.
Defrost the PSP for ~37 seconds, no more.
Place it in the freezer for ~2-3 hours.
Place it in the toilet (to warm it up).
Flush 3x.
Congrats! Enjoy 3.30 OE-A!!!!!!

Settings should always be reseted when you install a new custom firmware

The WLAN switch must be off. Don't forget that part, you could brick your PSP.

But....
I need more info, which one more user friendly?
Any one that ever used DH52 with 3.11 firmware compared with OE firmware can give they opinion?
I know OE can play PS1 games (that I never like to play it) but, what the other advantage with OE firmware ?
Cheers
Reply
However, what's the reason TO upgrade to 3.30 OE? Sure, some PS1 games (that I don't play) work better, but in my opinion that alone isn't good enough reason to risk bricking my PSP (no matter how small that risk should be).
Eventually new games will require newer-than-3.10 firmware, but by then we might already have a newer OE aswell.
Reply
Just used it for downgraded my TA 082 with 2.71 --> 1.5 without problem.
I do not need it now, just contact me back if u want to buy.
Reply
but reading through the posts it ticks me off seeing the question answered again and again and again
especially since its in the article
before asking a question, if you read through, most of the time your question will be asked and answered by someone else....on this site normally repeatedly.
for you layman, id recommend the undiluted platinum or the new devolution mod so you can reflash you NAND and get rid of 3.30
or wait for a downgrader (which could take a very long time and would mean you need to avoid any further official sony upgrades until it comes out)

Till now, even with custom FW's, I was able to play fullscreen only AVC and only if put into the /mp_root/* - not from /video. No mpeg4 fullscreen. No resolution bigger than 480x272. Can anyone confirm that full screen is possible with both codecs and from /video folder??
Plus other features like T-Mobile AP's and PS1.

avc worked already in 3.10, but only from "mp_root" folder. does 3.30 allow also mpeg4 full screen? and both preferably directly from the "video" folder??? i hate to stick with fixed-format filenames... i'd like my files to have arbitrary names allowed.
i was hoping 3.30 would remove even the rest of those artificial restrictions imposed on video playback.
SOMEBODY, PLEASE, CHECK THAT FOR US HERE. I HAVE T82 AND DON'T WANNA TAKE ANY CHANCES UNTIL THE NEW OE IS CONFIRMED SAFE OR WORTH IT FEATURE-WISE.
THANKS!

Just to let you know, I think I just bricked my PSP :
- model : PSP1000 fw 2.0
- updated from 3.10oeA
- Sony MS 2go high speed
- data.dxar file generated from original sony firmware updates
- battery 100% power cord not plugged
- usb cable connected while updating
- girlfriend called on the phone just as I launched the update (not sure it changed anything though)
On power up the screen backlight goes on (but the picture stays black), the MS led blinks for a couple of seconds and then... nothing, the umd doesn't even spin. Just wanted to let you know guys, in case it helps...
Anybody knows how to insert a "Paypal donate" button in a post here?

after updating to oe versions (if this is not done hen will reexecute when gta lcs is loaded, )downgrading from oe version which as i learned bricks psp running OE versions with TA-082 motheboards. to fix as soon as you get your version of dark alex OE whatever installed reformat your memory stick then transfer all your backed data IE music video gamesaves etc in aproperate folders all "homebrew apps should be in game 1.5 folder "
video in "video folder"
music in "music folder"
also disrupting the power will result in a brick
and there are a few psp units (as all have a very slight inpurity in the silicon that results in a fliped byte in the ram that would result in a crash normaly, if this fliped byte in ram should accoure during a "ROM FLASH" (updaters and downdaters) the processor could crash as it recieves a corupted set if instructions from the ram (and this happens around an estimate of every 300 or so hours of operation) resulting in a brick)
tip get your psp insured and I hope your not to discouraged to try again
I used the noobs goofy exploit downgrader to downgrade from 3.03 firmware to a 1.5
installed 3.03 0E A,B,C, also compatible with future upgrades, dont recomend downgrading any oe version unless there is a lot of proof that it works and always check up on multipal sources as people put up false posts, recomend qj.net for all your download needs
what are the benifits of homebrew (emulators play all your roms) english psp becomes PDA,nintendo 64, artari, about any counsole you can think of, and thanks to all the coders out there are getting beter and beter
but what I am waiting for is windows 98 in an eboot format
Note to formating format using your psp not your pc to avoid confusion I hope I have ansered a lot of questions regarding bricked psps and again all instructions must be followed TO THE LETTER OR THERE AND NEVER A GURENTIEE
who do I trust? three Amazons,dark alex,noobes team,
for the emulaters snes 9x, daladus r9, E[mulator,dgen, and a grasious respect to all there coders (mabey you guys could get together to make that windows 98 eboot as bochs is rather confusing)

So bottom line, if you already have 3.03+ OE firmware, you probably don't want to risk upgrading for a few minor things. And there probably wont be a 3.30 downgrader for a while. And no, you can't have your stupid little custom XMB's. And to people who have no clue as to what they're doing, theres this thing, and its called the forums. Educate yourself.
