Some clarifications on continuous PSP upgrading and downgrading |
Ó
Needless to say but our beloved homebrew coders do a lot of testing before they come out with their creations. This is particularly true for sensitive matters like firmwares, modchips, and others. Some of you may not be aware of this, but Fanjita and the Noobz team have been thinking of coming up with a "flash cleaning" application. What's a flash cleaning application, you ask? Well, according to them, they have this theory that the flash runs out of space after several cycles of upgrades and downgrades.
Fanjita wrote that they've reached this speculation after the Undiluted Platinum test PSP showed signs of having ran out of space on the flash. To those of you who are quite knowledgeable about these things, the symptom was an error code of "8001001C when starting ipl_update.prx".
The error appeared after they tried to run the 3.03 downgrader, meaning there was no space left on the device. So Fanjita and the Noobz team continued experimenting and according to them,
After some exhaustive testing, we've now come to the conclusion that there is no unnecessary wastage of flash space during the 3.03 downgrader process. We believe we can now put the problem down to issues with the interaction between the Undiluted Platinum flasher program, and v3.00+ firmwares, which has previously caused flash problems with other people's UP PSPs.
So there. You should not be bothered by this process, except for the usual risk that comes with any downgrader. Thanks for the clarification!

I would love to clean up my flash so I could put in more VSH plugins. =)
I have upgraded/downgraded my PSP loads of times now and never had this problem
LOl
1-qj is late with this news. 2-this is very GOOD news. 3-damn idiots who constantly press refresh to have the first comment.
"3-damn idiots who constantly press refresh to have the first comment." Can u really do that? You have got to teach me that trick :)
Sorry for my inglish pikinklish Every boards can upgrade-downgrade with no problem? Or this is only for the older boards?
hail the mighty dax
any psp can be downgraded including TA-082 and TA-086. Just use the 3.03 downgrader.
it wasn't DAX that made the 3.03 downgrader o.O or maybe i'm wrong maybe i don't know anything and i just came out of my closet and haven't read any news for the psp in 4 months
Even if it doesnt need to be cleaned it wouldnt hurt to make it just in case. For all we know it could fix bricks. You could have found the "cure for the common cold" in hacking talk "its worth a shot" :P
HELPED THEM BY MAKING hen FOR 3.03 SO don't forget crediting him he is my favorite developer
Actually 303 HEN was a Noobz release too. But there was some input from AleX into various parts of it. Seems to be a lot of confusion amongst people as to who is who, and who has done what.
This article has nothing to do with dark_alex.. its the Noobz team...
so then the previous news about when you downgrade from 3.03 and there are leftover files on the flash is inaccurate then? The flash is fine?
