2.71 Custom Firmware SE-B Released! *UPDATE* |
Ó
One
of the most anticipated releases of the fall has arrived on your doorstep (figuratively
speaking)! Dark_Alex has updated his 2.71 CE (Custom Firmware) to the
"B" edition. If you have no prior knowledge of what this custom
firmware is, or when it was released - We highly suggest that you read
Pranav's article concerning the first release. Unless you are
"lazy" like myself, I'll put this complex release into some simple
sentences:Dark_Alex released the 2.71 Custom Firmware as a succession to his earlier HEN_C release which patched homebrew to fully run it on the 2.71 firmware. With the 2.71 Custom Firmware SE-A being released around two weeks ago, the scene was introduced to an easier, and more user-friendly method of executing these previously incompatible homebrew. So basically, all those kernel applications that you've been dying to run are all executable with this custom firmware, with near endless possibilities.
This modification will not run on a TA-082 PSP. Do not even try it out. It will surely brick your PSP.
With the first release of Dark_Alex's Custom Firmware (SE-A), the basic features boiled down to the execution of homebrew by "regular" means like 1.50 firmware users have been doing for over a year now. With this newest addition to the custom firmware "family", Dark_Alex has improved the previous features as well as added some new ones which will turn several heads:
- ISO/CSO support
- All previous incompatible UMD's work
- Loading of 1.50 homebrew from GAME folder and 2.71 homebrew from GAME271 folder - now supported
- Execution of EBOOT on Startup
- Ability to enable/disable the noplainmodulecheck patch in umds/isos (for advanced users)
- Ability to force the use of boot.bin in umds
- UMD not needed in SE-C for execution of ISO's
- USBHostfs support built-in
- DAX ISO support
--- Installation ---
- Mathieulh has said that after installing the custom firmware, there isn't much space left on Flash0. So it's best to use the downgrader which formats the whole Flash0 first. That way, you can be sure that there aren't any useless files on your Flash.
- You will need a 1.5 dump. Those are only available if you're on a 1.5. Though you won't have to worry, Dark_AleX has bundled a helper program which will help you make a firmware dump easily.
- First, copy the seupdmaker and seupdmaker% folders to your PSP
- Now download the 1.5 and 2.71 update eboots from our site and put them in the seupdmaker folder with the names 150.PBP and 271.PBP
- Using the Helper program, make a firmware dump.
- Once done, copy the generated .dxar file from the seupdmaker folder to the 271seflasher folder.
- Then, simply use the update flasher to flash the custom firmware on your PSP!
There are some precautions you have to take though. Make sure your PSP is not a TA-082. Secondly, make sure your PSP's battery level is above 75%. And finally, be careful while using this application. It modifies your flash, so you have to be careful; any application that modifies your flash has a chance of bricking your PSP. It is indeed very necessary that you fully read and reread the readme file inside the download before proceeding.
Download: [2.71 Custom Firmware SE-B]
UPDATE: We heard that Dark_Alex has made an update (you can get it by clicking the download link below), and here are the changes you can expect from it:
- Fixed the problem of crashing if the iso folder didn't exist
- Added experimental no umd mode. By default it is disabled.
New configurations:
- Use NO-UMD. It will enable the NO-UMD mode, whose compatibility is currently unknown, and probably less compatible than UMD mode. This is the main reason to release this quick update to know more or less the compatibility of this no-umd mode.
- Use isofs driver also in UMD-inserted mode (in advanced). You probably don't have to touch this, it's mainly done for myself. If you do it, you may decrease the compatibility of UMD mode.

Great Work Dark Alex
by the way first
but i am not gonna need this cuz i have a v1.5 custom fw already...
thanks again dark alex!!! though it seems that whatever firmware that can play iso's... you're still screwed if you have the ta-82.
This is a great piece of software but for me anyway I think I will stick with devhook as I don't like mucking about with flashing my firmware. I'm just worried that with my luck I will end up screwing something up.
well i don wanna go with this v2.71 SE-B fw cuz i already took enough brick changes since my warranty is over...
also i heard that the Harleyg's Custom Firmware Patch v0.2 is better since u are using a v1.5! (less risk)
*****ing Uber Cool *****
Do I still need to use Devhook/vshex to run .iso/.cso games from my HD via USB ?
Yes, flashing for 5 minutes is a bit more of a risk, but so is any update...
Besides Harleyg' is/was behind some component of this custom fw, and do remember who made the FIRST custom fw? ( Dark Alex, the author you are facing here. )
Besides, Casual is gunna make 1.50 pwn all.
What do I do if I have firmware 2.5... upgrade to 2.71??
Please help
WHOOOOOOO!!!!!! !!
TIME TO PARTAY!!!!! CHEERS!!!
lame fanjita imposter u tard face dark alex is probrably the best thing that has happened to the psp community
Downgrade to 1.5, then generate the .dxar file and flash it to obtain 2.71 SE-B firmware.
But make sure that your PSP isn't a TA-082.
Yeah, but apparently it's planned for SE-C.
This is great, the only reason I didn't try this before is cuz I didnt want to change my GAME forlders and patch every game just to work for this FW. I have Devhook which plays my backups already, so why would I fuss with a FW that doesn't, that problem is fixed now too....YAY!!!!!
Can I update directly from 2.71 SE-A? Or do I have to downgrade to 1.5 first?
if you have 2.71 se-a then you have to go back to 1.5 then 2.71 se-b?
Uh so basically if i have FW 2.6, i have to downgrade first? I cant just update to FW 2.71 and then install the custom? .> updated cause i was too impatient to play Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Native ISO and CSO support??
Now my Girlfriend can play the psp without always asking me to load devhook.
I went from 1.50 to 2.71 SE-A. Now will update to Rev. B
A good bit of advice would be keep a copy of the recovery files in their correct directories on a separate mem stick (keep that mem stick v. safe). This will protect you in the event of a semi brick and your mem stick being corrupt.
Great Work Dark Alex - SOny must be chewing thier own behind to find out who you are ;)
NeoN HaZe.
Awsome!! Can I install this now when I have the SE-A?
but qj is still gay!
THIS IS SOOO GREAT! ... i can load my games from the XMB :> :>
If you are already on 2.71 SE-A then read the Readme.txt file....there is an seb_update folder in the download....pop this into your Game150 folder, run the update and you are at 2.71 B...easy.
The rest is if you are already at original 1.50 or 2.71.
YEP! just use the updater! it takes about 5 secs
nice, thanks.
Can wait for version c , no disk needed 4 iso's
updated my 1.5 when 2.71 se-a was released and loved it and now that b is out and i dont have to run devhook anymore it is class and the good thing is if somethin amazin and new happens on 1.5 it can just be downgraded again using the recovery menu dark alex you are truly the man keep up the good work
This is great for all of us,is there anything yous cant do?
I was already using 2.71se-a and upgrading to 2.71se-b was easier than using a sony update lol.
Keep up the good work fellas your doing great!!!
he should rename himself to KinG_Dark_AleX
brikt
lier
SE-A to SE-B is the best update i have ever done - takes about 3 seconds.
i am registered here i hav no history of bein a ***** and i officially have a brikt psp
all i wish for now is an update for one of those psp orginization apps that includes something to orginized my umd backups in the game folder. after that i'll be totaly set. DAmn this is assome oh soooooo asome!
Total great, loved the a version but b is totally sweet ;P
Can´t you play game trough USB on 2.71SE???
Moving 2.71 homebrew to a GAME271 folder sounds better to me.
My only question is if themes PSP works with this one. I suppose I could use the 2.71 SE Customizer but I love theme its pretty and plays music while flashing.
If ill be updatng my psp from 1.5 to that custom firmware, could anyone tell me,... How do i run the cso/isos?
cause in the vid i see the person just loads them under game, but how would that be on the memstick?
i am not into the custom firmware stuff, so this might be a really nooby question, but i'd hope anyone can help me.
Thanks. Escudo
if you were runnin version a before you bricked your psp just run recovery mode and reflash 1.5 to unbrick it
just put them on X:/ISO and run them from the XMB Game Menu! its very easy
when you update to 2.71 se-b there will be a iso folder in the root of your memory stick just put them there then when you run your psp just go to game go down to memory stick and they will be there then just press x to run them
That just sounds freaking awesome :)
and if its uncool, you can easily downgrade back to 1.5 ;d? wooty.
think im gonna try it later on today.
Do this program work's to 2GB Memoty Stick ?
This alows me to play my Backup from the XMB
Incredible, compatible, fantastic!
i have a solution for this
just run daxziso from irshell and evrey thing will work fine and system menu will work too
I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts in the community, without you or boosters original work.
This community wouldn't be what it is now.
thank you.
Can anyone tell me how to get this working? I can get dhookto load and see the isos in the menu but when I start the iso I just get the umd in the drive.
Ps: This works great with everything else. Nice work DA!
"Mathieulh has said that after installing the custom firmware, there isn't much space left on Flash0. So it's best to use the downgrader which formats the whole Flash0 first. That way, you can be sure that there aren't any useless files on your Flash."
What if I'm already on 1.5 with devhook installed? Do I, or can I use the downgrader to format Flash0?
What is the recommended course of action?
k..now i know that i won't have to downgrade and upgrade again for each release i'm gonna flash my 1.5 :D..
iso support woot...nice work dark alex
It does work for me but when I run an .cso game I do get to see the psp logo intro(as normal) but after that the game returns to XMB with the message "The game could not be started.(80020321)" What causes this? I also had this when using SE-A/Devhook(nandfla sh) btw.
Does this work with a jap version psp?
Brilliant! I didin't need to go from 2.71SE A back to FW1.5 then to 2.71SE B!
now that would have been a ***** to do!
Thanx for making 2.71SE A to 2.71SE B a Breeze Dark_Alex> The PSP Godfather ;O)
please can 2.71SE C be as easy to update, I really dont want to have to goto FW 1.5 now.
What are the chances of my PSP getting bricked? I wanna try this for me and my brother. THanks in advance!
I already found a solution for this error... what I needed to do was inserting a umd-disc into my psp. Guess you need to insert a umd-disc after all (for some games, not all).
What about the new games that require new firmware like Star Trek which work with DevHook, do they work with this? Also, is there a way to change the clock speed??
This is a brillant upgrade took 2 seconds to flash and now ISO loads from mem stick =^.^=
and the homebrew now having \GAME back for 1.50 and the new \GAME271 for the newer HB (however there isant that much 2.71 HB that i have found)
This FW revision has given me everything that i wanted, however is it at all possible to change the CPU clock without loading a launcher?
haha...just flashed it, first time i've ever flashed my psp, went flawlessly, :D, works perfectly
this is the best homebrew ever :D,
is it possible to make a donation?
I think instead of thanking him
donating him should be a lot more usefull to him!
So, does this release allow for the use of XMB wallpapers without hanging the PSP? I like having a certain degree of customization.
it's hard getting some apps to work, and considering irshell is a corrupted file on 2.00+ that gui eboot fixer *****e doesn't work anyway it just freezes lol..... i'll stick to2.71 via devhook at the moment .... very good though Dark_AleX!!!
could someone tell me how to get DATA.DXAR? as i am having trouble getting it, would it be possible to upload it for me or tell me how to get it?. Thanks in advance
i will try to flash my psp with this FW,but if i want to go back to 1.5 what i have to use?:o
There is a package floating around the internet, I believe its on the forums @ QJ.net and also MaxConsole.net
This will give you your beloved IRShell.
If you cant find it, I can host it for you.
Could u upload DATA.DXAR for me please?
you must copy the seupdmaker and seupdmaker% to the x:/PSP/Game. Then u must put 1.50 and 2.71 updates to Seupdmaker folder. with update names 1.50 must be 150.PBP and 2.71 must be 271.PBP , good luck ;)
I swopped my 2.8 psp for a 2.0 one, then upgraded to 2.71 to run homebrew.
I'm considering downgrading and getting 2.71 SE-b. Can anyone confirm that a 2.0 psp has absolutrly no chance of being a TA082? I've checked the picture thing, and can't see any writing, but i want to be 100% before i risk it. When was TA-082 first sold in the UK?
I think it is time for me to say goodbye to firmware v1.5 on my PSP. I would have flashed to 2.71 SE-A, but I didn't since it had no ISO/CSO support. Now that it does, I see no reason to remain on firmware v1.5.
It'd be awesome if Dark Alex could get this running on 2.8/2.81 sometime in the near future. (Although I hear that those firmwares use different encryption keys or something.)
can somebdy simplify the instructions on how to install/setup this homebrew. Its getting pretty confusing for me. Much help is appreciated.
i just updated to se-b but now i can't acces my memory stick:(:(
Thankyou for the info but how do i get the updates?
i installed this and every time i try to open the memory stick under the game menu from the XMB my psp crashes please help or tell me how do i uninstall this!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
" i am registered here " " by mike (Unregistered) - 2 hours ago"
Right.
Read the readme - it's what it is there for.
ISO/CSO files show up under the memory stick games - but still require a UMD to be in the PSP.
Can you have more than 1 Isos on the mem card? How do yo select them? How can you run a UMD if there is a Iso on the mem card? how do you select them?Does Killzone work on this version? (did not on SE-A)
I put firmware updates 1.5 and 2.71 in the seupdmaker folder then i ran it on my psp and it said opening and checking 1.50.PBP then it says cannot open file. from that it returns to the XMB with no DATA.DXAR in the seupdmaker. does anyone know why this happens? and can someone help me? Thanks in advance
Mine was a stupid comment I should read the question better first. KirbySS was right - you have to wait for the next version to do it via USB.
Great News but i'm stuck with 2.80 firmware. I was hoping to at least see a eloader created for this exploit but 2 months have already pass and it seems that it will neve come. I might end up upgrading my psp if the 3.00 firmware comes out before the eloader. Its just a thought. I'm left to wonder if fanjita and other developers are even working on the eloader since all they release was a eloader for 2.00 to 2.71 I believe this sucks. But Time will tell ?
Yes, you have to downgrade.
Hey all,
I installed it and it works fine for cso/isos (less battery consumption yeeeha!) .
BUT
- mp3 wont play anymore. :S
- activating the wma / rss and canceling (because of let's say no inet access) will cause firmware to say "firmware broken reinitializing" in 10 languages (like when you downgrade).
So wait for an updated version. unless you don't listen to music on the PSP.
Microb
when i press X to accept the flashing, i notice it says format flash0...then ...done. follow by creating 1.50 subset...xx% + so on...
does it mean this 2.71seb do an auto flash0 den follow by merging 1.50 with 2.71?
Every time i want to go to my memorystick in de XMB it crashes
if your that worried about your psp getting bricked then you dont need to try to install this because there is always that chance of your psp getting bricked
download the updates from this site. THE NAMES OF THOSE UPDATES MUST BE 150.PBP and 271.PBP !!!
Ok gonna mess around with stuff... but so far I cannot open my Game --> Memory Stick option. Every time, the PSP freezes and shuts down.
I've updated from SE-A and have preserved my original folder structure... maybe the update failed? I might have to format all the way down to 1.5 now...
I'll keep everyone posted... anyone else run into this bug?
--Databoy2k
u can't get to memory stick becuz maybe u put there "iso" folder in x:\PSP/GAME? when i put that folder my memory stick also crashed..:) but now everything works FINE! :)
noone can upload the DATA.DXAR file you have to do it yourself read the readme!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
what firmware do you have on your psp
Does anyone know where i can get a 2.71 UK Update
it plays mp3 fine. ;) everything is good!
i figured it out you have to open the memory stick on your computer and put something in the game folder, if you have ISO's you have to create the ISO folder inside the root of your memory stick then put your isos there and you can load them from your XMB
I have been using Epsilon on my Modchip but they just turned out to be all talk and little action. Now that Dark Alex has released this custom firmware, I will never be using Epsilon again. I am in the process of installing 2.71 SE B on my UP Chip and 2.81 on the other in preperation for GTA VCS.
To Team Epsilon, this is how it should be done and instead of empty promises of updates and improvements he just delivers.
well unreal...thats what you get when you upgrade for a few lame demos
I have a PSP with German FW (2.00) and I'm planning to flash my PSP to SE-B...
Therefor I need FW2.71 and FW1.5 EBOOTS.
Can I use the UK-Version? Or where can I download German UpdateFiles?
where the heck are all my comments?
ps. just a test to see if it works...posted like 5 comments before this but didn't appear...
microb, i also tested and as rct says, it plays mp3s fine 4 me too, wmas play fine too.
as for the wma/rss, i can't confirm that as i didn't need to cancel them.
just a question when i update how can i downgrade if i need to.
currently this mod does not auto enable wma & flash player which requires wifi. hope this will be fix in the upcoming 2.71 SE-C.
Testing my ridge racer 2 now. works flawlessly. will continue to check up any bugs if found.
to all out there, we can help to report any bugs found or any better ideas to add on for the coming SE-C.
Congrats DA
Thanks
this happened to me to but i fixed it all you need to do is put the devhook included in the file onto your psp then it shouldnt crash anymore
ive installed this and ive been able to load isos fine but when i try to run 1.50 homebrew my psp wont load it it says "game could not be started" or my psp crashes can someone please help
You have to move all the 1.50 homebrew into the GAME150 folder
ive also tried to load the devhook that was included with this that i downloaded from this site, it loads and goes to the devhook menu but when i push start for the devhook my screen goes black then crashes can someone help please????????
Could I Create the DXAR file from my customized 1.5? That dxar ill brick my psp?
( my 1.5 use dark_alex 1.5 customizer)
i have a question: How i can change a FONT now?:)) it was very simply with 1.5..
man i like the game killzone i had first 271 SE A i donwgraded it to 1.5 now i have 271 SE B and killzone will not run on it Shame
i will try soon.;-)) maybe there is a problem with your Folders or smthng else.;)
If you need either of these, then please goto
http://www.mediamax.com/yk2fhbhro6hmd6x
(These have worked fine for me, however. Use at your own risk)
I cant get the damned DXAR file. I started the DXAR maker about 30 minutes ago and its still extracting and packing the 1.50 firmware subset. If anyone could help me, in any way possible, It would be greatly apprecieated.
I think Dark_Alex should allow users to change CPU-Clock because some isos are not realy working with 222 mhz...
If you intend on doing this, then read the directions carefully multiple times. I've done this on 3 psps and all have been fine. Go slow and do everything exactly as you are supposed to and you'll be fine.
It can be broken into 3 easy steps:
- Get your psp to ver1.5 (I upgraded to 2.71 then used the downgrader). When you do this, after the downgrade, it may come up with an error that your settings are incorrect in about 8 languages, this is ok. Just redo your settings.
- Create the DAX file.
- Upgrade to 2.71-SE-B (or A)
If you are at all unsure, and can't afford a new psp, then don't do it.
BRAVO !!
but my "Daxter" Backup can't start... (error 80020148).
Fab
Why should you use this program if there is devhook ,,,?
Damn, the abilities represented in the scene here always amaze me. I hope you guys are making big bucks in your day job. Some of the talent in the scene blows EVERYONE I work with away. Keep up the good work.
DOes this mean i'll have to downgrade back to 1.5 to get this?
Damn!
Can someone please take the time to give me a step by step guide to get from untouched FW 2.5 to 2.71 SE-B
Idiots guide required....... Including files needed.... what next.
New to this ....thanks in advance
I am no longer able to load Killzone via USB using devhook .46 ... Can someone else confirm this imcompatibility with Killzone Liberation so it can be fixed in 2.71 SE-C ?
Thanks
if u wan 2 maintain the fuctional structure just like yr 1.50, all u hv 2 do is to tell yr psp to run all yr 1.50 compatible homebrew in game folder + not the game150. Wat does it mean?
well when rebooting yr psp (not restart), press R button (sholder button). it will enter recovery mode. in the rec mode, enter configuration, then choose "Game folder homebrew (currently: 2.71 Kernel)" + press X button. u will den notice that it will change to "Game folder homebrew (currently: 1.50 homebrew)". after all done, press back + exit rec mode. now in yr ms, just transfer all yr 1.50 compatible homebrew from game150 folder to game folder. it works just as the original 1.50 fw.
well this sounds great. but since devhook .46 is doing just great for me.. i'm ok... i'm just not updating because your not able to customise the PSP gameboot.. well you can but i like to use Xflash.. but anyways.. when Xflash comes out for 2.71SE- A , B i'll update. i like my 1.50... it's just great!
use DA generic downgrader if u r using 2.71 HEN C to dg back to 1.50. dis gen dg enables u clear away some of the unecessary files in flash0. den start off with fresh upgrade with dis 2.71 SE-B. if u r using SE-A, den no need 2 dg. just upgrade from that point to SE-B. simple as that. hope can help.
I followed the instructions to the letter and everything seemed to work out fine. But then afer I booted up my new 2.71 SEB, and tried to access the memory stick, it froze. After a few more seconds it shut down. It freezes on an empty memory stick, a full one, a formatted one. Nothing works.
Anyone else get this freeze error?
I did have some custom flashes done to my 1.5 PSP before hand, so I'm going to try it again now that the FLASH0 has been emptied with the recovery mode.
what would be the need for devhook if you would install 2.71 SE-B?
I just updated to SE-B from SE-A and it took like 2 seconds and exited in 5. This is the easiest update I've ever done. Can't wait for the next update. Keep up the good work.
FIRMWARE NIRVANA MY ASS WIFI DOESN'T WORK WITH THIS. SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH 1.50 HOW AM I GOING TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER MOH
Do games and homebrew run just as well on this custom firmware than it does on 1.5? Would it run SNESTYL and gpsp just as fast?
I have a 1.5 and love it. Is there any advantage in keeping it now and not updrading besides the possible brick factor?
it seems some of us hv dis problem. yr psp freezed bcoz if yr homebrews r not kept in "GAME150" folder. + alway u must hv have the original "GAME" folder. dis 2 folders must in the same directory as in PSP folder. b4 u use the recovery option, the "GAME folder is by default customised for 2.71 compatible hombrew.
As DA entioned in the read me "...There maybe some exceptions of few programs that interfere with the reboot system of SE...Programs that hacks the flash like xflash, pspset, sxt version changer, etc are not recommended to be used here."
I know it was very simple with 1.5 but this SE-B is a merging fw of 1.5-2.71. just be patient. i believe Art is working on its way to enable X-Flash compatible with SE-B. just dun use any homebrew tat writes to the flash0 4 the time being.
It does require such a program for the moment. I hope running games from a WiFi-connected server will be possible some time soon, cause playing with the usb cable isn't that mobile, is it?
Some of my homebrew appears as corrupt data when I view it in the XMB, I heard this had something to do with the param.sfo, and I also read that there was a fix for this?
DarK_AleX for primeminister!! !!!!!!
mine work perfectly good. at 1st after i install dis package. my wifi also not working as it hanged. but i do a hard reboot + tell my wifi again. it works nice. just try again.
Some isos and csos are shown as corrupted icons. i cant get them to show in the supplied devhook either. Any help with this anyone?
i too tested the SNESTYL and gpsp. they r as thought they were in 1.5. same speed. no error.
Awesome! EXCELLENT WORK, thank you so much darkalex your dedication and hard work is always appreciated, please continue to make progress!
i think there are no people who updated to this FW and bricked their psp. ;) so i think don't worry! :) everything works FINE.:) gl.
i knew direct iso launchin wouldnt take long
good work dax
suprised yav not gone for .dax support instead or ciso but i spose yer caterin for the masses eh
to every1 who thinks 1.5 is still better than this i have 1 thing to say to you
yer wrong!
all we need now is 2.81 se ;)
i can c my killzone liberation in the xmb game-ms folder together with gpsp + ridge racer 2. they all works fine. btw mine's a .cso
yer iso's are listed in the game menu as if they were homebrew, and yer umd disk loads from the same place it always did
its that simple!
all i do at work is listen to mp3's from it so dam im gald that still worx
since SE-B can emulate iso+cso, when u put in backup games into the iso folder, it just appear in the xmb game-ms folder. click + play like normal homebrew. it still load up yr save game data. + upcoming SE-C will support dax 4 better space storage. so why not?
i have 2.60 how do i downgrade?
please help
via the recovery menu
its pretty straight forward
read the read me
i have 2.60 how do i downgrade?
please help!!
Hello, this sounds pretty sweet and I feel like upgrading, but I wouldn't know what the safest way to do it would be since I am actually on Harleyg's last 1.50 custom firmware...I just need to know what to do first before I go on and follow the readme's instructions....can anybody help me with this?
Use x-flash to restore your psp to factory, how to get there: go to number 15 and press right until you see it. This should also get rid of your custom firmware setup. Afterwards, just follow the instructions in the readme.
i try to do the update from se-a to se-b but my skreen is after a error dark when i restart my psp i only have the chance to recovery in the recovery mode but when i try the "run program at /psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp it says can not found the UPDATE.PBP what can i do what a file is it ??
help
thanks for your reply i will try this but i dont have a game150 folder all i have i a game folder under psp so what does this mean??????
ok well i upgraded from 1.5 to this and wen i click on like a emulator or iso i get a ERROR so do i have to do like that HEN enabler thing
remove Harleyg's 1.50 custom frimware.
den restore psp to default setting (just to be safe)
no need to format ms.
finally start of with the read me instructions
ok you can run Devhook .46 and run Iso's and crap like that. 2.71SE-B still has bugs.... all my ISO's have no problem with devhook.
1.50 will always be the golden frimware...
i have tried 2.71SE-A and i liked it for a lil while then didn't .. i can customize it... like you can with 1.50....
but whatever....
i'm staying @ 1.50 < because it's the Best!
when i try to go to the game folder (on psp) it crashes. have i done something wrong?
Can you play games that need 2.81 firmware on 2.71 SE-B?
Perhaps a stupid question but wanna know.
if we don't like this firmware how can we downgrade?:) generic downgrader or... ???
Nice update thingy, but having updated from SE-A to SE-B, I still can't seem to use the GAME folder to run 1.50 homebrew. Super Mini Mario worked, though. So the GAME folder likes 1.0 homebrew, but not 1.50, it seems!
Is there a way to run Isos at 333 mhz with this? Or do I have to go through devhook first if I want that extra speed?
U rule
nevermind. I'm playing ace combat x that needs 2.81 firmware on 2.71 SE-B. Don't even need to run devhook2.71 because it loads up in the from the games' memory stick folder like from what i saw in youtube
hi, ive recently updated to this firmware and it was fine for about 2 hours but suddenly everytime i try to access the game menu on the xmb the psp freezes and reboots ive used the recovery mode to reinstall the firmware but itkeeps doing it, can anyone help?
wen i try to start anything under the game menu it sais THIS GAME CANNOT BE STARTED
how can i put this on a devhook 2.71 emulation?
why dont they hurry up and make a 2.8 downgrader so i can use this and if i install this and brick my psp can i unbrick it?
yeh i bet the epsilon/modchip developers will be pissed aswell, rendering their modchips useless hahahaha, all those modchips are useful for now is motherboard replacement
How the hell does this guy do it?? Man i would like to shake this guys hand if i could.
I salute to you Dark_AleX
lol
someone please help!! how come my psp freezes when i try to access the game menu
i can't get to my games folder from the xmb it keeps freezing. can some one please help me. I have the GAME150 and GAME271 folders but it still freezes
Personally I think anyone who bricks a PSP is an idiot, and did so because they didn't read all the information (readme.txt) and understand it before they bricked, but that is MY PERSONAL OPINION (just wanted to make sure you saw that part ( I just set myself up to get bi**hed at didn't I?)). But why would you not believe someone who says they bricked? After all we all know that bricks will happen regardless of how idiot-proof these programs are made. It bewilders me as well but there are always people who are just that idiotic that they f**k up something that is idiot-proof (and I realize that this install is far from idiot-proof).
I cant get to my memory stick from the games section from the xmb. I have the GAME150 and the GAME271 but every time i click on it it freeze up on me can someone help please
from this????
nothin works.. game XMB freezes.. recovery menu wont reflash the 1.50 update
2.71 d/grader does not work
HELP
we need some help
I updated to 271 SEB from SEA and now I have run into a problem. I can't open the memory stick to view or run any homebrew. I can view "Saved Data Utility" but "Memory Stick" freezes once I select it. I tried to downgrade but it gives me an error saying the game cannot be started. I fear I may have inadvertantly deleted the recovery EBOOT folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated....
I can't wait to get my PSP back! I will try this as fast as i can when i get it back. (I lent it out to a friend in exchange for borrowing his NDS. DS rocks, but not as much as PSP. PSP PWNS DS.) I converted him! My friend, that is. Before he was a Nintendo fanboy, But after testing PSP, He's converted to Sony! Great seeing someone becoming PSP fanboy in front of my eyes. You should try it yourself!
download and run this file! www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=673
it only takes about 3 seconds to flash this IF you are on revision-a already.it freaked me out at first, but all was fine after it rebooted to xmb.
Has anyone got CWCheat to work on this yet?
So is this better than 1.50? I don't want to bother upgrading and risk a brick if a 1.50 is still better
I had the freezing problem. Check to see if there is a "iso" folder in the root of your mem stick. I created one and it solved my problem!!!!
I created a folder called "iso" on the root of my mem stick and the problem went away. I still don't know about the recovery folder but that might just be my problem.....
thanks for the tip. For a minute there I thought my psp was broken
you flippen rock it worked
just tried it with my micro drive,seems to work fine but the iso
games will not load, anyone else ?
Ok so I had a psp FW 2.71 SE-A, I updated to SE-B and now when I go to the game menu it just freezes up and shuts down. Help would be much Appreciated, Thank you.
U can use Hen-C and Devhook if u have TA-082....
because of developers like urself..ur making the PSP a much easier system to use..and saving people some time loading without devhook.thanks for your dedication and time...hopefully theres alot more to come.THANK YOU
Great idea, Love it, But is there any way to allow Iso support without a Umd in the blasted drive ? If it wasnt for that, I would never have to touch another umd ever again...
Looking foward to it SP.
To Anelixc - I do have the folders running, and SE-A runs fine with my current folder structure (I have Game and Game150 both in my PSP directory). Those two are not the issue.
To MajesticReigns - I don't have my PSP with me, but I will give it a shot in a few hours when I get back to my PSP!
--Databoy2k
thank you dark alex and co. fantastic work, well done on what can only be discribed as unbelievable. I installed se-a using chaos zeros pack and then upgraded using dark alex's upgrade option, simple as that. I still have a few curropt icons showing up even though i have hide them enabled but tis a small price to pay. many thanks again guys and thanks to qj for postin this, oh, before i forget, big thanks to sony for providing hackable firmware updates
Unfortunatly, this didn't work for me. Upgrading from SE-A seemed fine, but my PSP hangs whenever I try to access the memory stick. Recovery time!
I'm not suffiently in need of the upgrades this firmware offers to try it again. I'll reflash to SE-A when my battery is fully charged (which is super, BTW.)
maybe you shouldnt of upgraded your firmware if you wanted to be a part of the homebrew community you dumbass. Do you really think that anyone gives a ***** about upgrading to 3.0 OOOOOoohh please man do anything but that PLEASE you *****ing moron jesus christ man your parents really *****ed up in raising you *****in tard
i upgraded from se-a everything works great except now i can't use my usb from the xmb. my computer say "USB Device not recognized" and the the "device malfunctioned" I also went to dev hook and emulated 2.6 and i have the same problem.... bummer dude would this qualifly as a partal brick?? Im gonna try to recover and go back to se-a that worked flawlessly. man, my butthole is puckering... this is why i waited so long to mess with my flash... anyone else have this issue???
Great job anyway bro i cant wait for the USB/ISO loading...
Iv'e upgraded and everything seems fine except when i go into the game folder...it freezes for a couple seconds then it turns off?
Damn it.
What abreak through! This means we have no need for DevHook!? Is it redundant?
First class Dark Alex an Co.
Thanks a million!
create an iso folder on mem stix
Ok the last thing i tried witch i thought woulnt work i unplugged my usb and replugged it in and now i works. please excuse my stupididy (and bad spelling :) i really didn't think it would affect it. yeehaa 2.71 SE-B !! Long live Dark_Alex !!!
to the posts asking about the game folder crashing.... please just read the other post first... it was even repeated for the 5th time 3 or 4 posts up in this page. no body is gonna keep repeating themselfs for lazy people....
Here's a brilliant idea.
How about reading the comments section and finding ot for yourself???
This question has been answered mutilple times per page so dont go crying that you don't wann read all five or six pages worth of comments beacuse every page has at least three people giving you the answer.
go fetch
is there any way that i can still take screenshots
u can only have EITHER game150 and game (where the 2.71 brew goes) OR game271 and game (where the 1.5 brew goes). you CAN'T have both game150 and game271.
then shut the f.ck up,i have one too,and who cares who's first loser
just creat an ISO folder on the root of the MS
you need to put some kind of homebrew into your game folder like the devhook that come with the download mine froze to but that fixed mine
if you dont have an iso folder at the root of your mem stick even if you dont run isos it freezes
Sounds a stupid question I know, but I don't really fancy risking my PSP when I can already do it all, just taking a few seconds longer.
So, like how the downgrader had about a 9% chance or bricking, whats the likelyhood with this?
It works perfectly!!
Thank you DarK_AleX
i did this this morning and i am telling you it is working great, forget 1.5 and i get to now retrive that 20mb devhook took up. yay. this is awsome, BTW lay off on the flam on 2.71 se it is a great software. and it you don't wana update don't last thing i wanna here is a group of douches crying over there not gonna updates, like if i wanna know.
It worked fine, but I have problems when try to run the CSOs from "Need For Speed Most Wanted" and "Go Sudoku!". When I run the CSO the PSP show the splash screen, and after return the error "80020148"
So, I still have devhook to play thoses games...
Thanks to all people saying that 1.5 is better is still dead wrong. So far i have been able to play games that require 2.80/2.81 off the xmb with no problem like Scobby doo, Ace Combat and Killzone with no problem. Thanks again Dark_Alex cant wait for 2.71 SE-C
Strange my need for speed works fine
The only modchip customers that would regret it are the ones that fried their PSP's trying to install it. I think the rest of them will be in front of us when firmware 3.0 ships.
lies
you need to put some kind of homebrew into your game folder from your computer then that should fix it
make sure your ISO/CSO is untouched! Mine works flawless!
Ok my name is Justin and i know that you guys will not believe me when i tell you this but i just tried this on my 2.71 TA-082 psp and it WORKED! but heres the trick, i didnt just flash it. I used the AutoExec HenC then switched to firmware 1.50 using devhook launcher. i then followed the instructions percisely and bam im working with a custom firmware for a TA-082! Im just glad i finally (grew some b***s) and did this. Its wierd but i fell like such a man!
is it possible to take screenshot with 2.71 sc-b
Anybody know if work with original Ace Combat's UMD ! Oh man....this fw is great ! I don't want to upgrade !!!! I buy this game, now, i just waiting come to me !
Yeah nobody said it wouldnt work the only way to do it is with the henC *****
ok first all this does not work with TA-082 so if you have a psp 2.71 justdowngrade to 1.5 duh you guys are stupid downgrade ok?
I used Hen C and the downgrader to move from 2.71 to 1.5, but my mate updated again to 2.71, and now I can't get it to downgrade! Can anyone help? I get the blue screen with hen C, which is good, and the psp shuts down. When I try to run the downgrader tho, it just gives the usual 'the game could not be started' message. How can I downgrade? Anyone help, please!!!
Hi Guys i want to know how i can make work this in 333 mhz i play GTALCS but see slow and monster hunter too and im a CheatMaster user the one you install in dh folders and i want know how i can make work this one or i need to use another program please answer that

small changes cause suck big details. looks to be great and i didnt half to refind my games again cause the ones i tried work 1.0 1.5 and 2.71 hahahha awesome cant wait til se.c. oh and i saw the dadada error 2
Does uflash work on se-B because it worked on se-A?
Just reset your defaults and wifi will work, I did it and it worked perfect afterwards
you must put into the flasher folder, a copy of the 1.50 update, and it must be called update.php
done it several times now, its foul proof
Can anybody Extract this FW so ppl who don't want 2 upgrade can run this on Dev-Hook?
If some body could i'd b very greatfull
sureley the greatest app ever cheers!!!
I want to thank the whole team that made this possible.
Dark Alex
Harleyg
Mathieulh
Great job guys.
I have a dream!. That Noobz and this guys where to get together and create a coding team.
Great Job
Anyone know a way to hide the corrupted data? I still cant hide some of them. I think its the cso thats showing corrupted data.
When i click it i go to the PSP screen and it freezes and shuts down. what do i do??
Why would you want to do that. Thats would be stupid to me. BEcause with this firmware you dont even need devhook at all so why bother even emulating it when u can have all the benefits just upgrading and u can even use debhoook on this firmware anyways
Make sure everything is in the proper folders and you have all the folders in the right place it goes in the GAME150 folder
Did u set it on the Hide Corrupted Icons from the Config? Hold R and turn on the PSP to get there.
nvm i got it now
hey i've upgraded my 1.50 to this firmware but i really want to go back to my original 1.50 but i dont know how.
you can do it with the recovery mode but how?
any help would be appreciated.
what if I have a 2.8 FW then what to i do
VSHEX Doesn't work with 2.71 SE B
Is there any downgrader out there for 2.8 fw psp, and if so what and where is it.
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH update from se-a if you have modified bmp or gameboot or font. It will almost definately brick your psp
OK TO MAKE THIS CLEAR TO FIX THE MEMORYSTICK FREEZING PROBLEM, PUT A FOLDER AT THE ROOT OF THE MEMORYSTICK TITLED ISO. AND IT WILL ALL STOP.
I'm flashing it right now.
... YES!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!! I successfully installed it!
Ace Combat X requires 2.81 firmware. How do I play it and stay with 2.71?
it all worked awesome, untill i decided to check the webbrowder, made the internet connection, tested it.. it just wont connect.
im using the same options as i would in devhook runnin 2,71.
a WAP security, and just wont connect for some reason.
tried to reinstall the firmware 2.71 se-b 3 times but it wont work, so now im back to devhook on 1.5.
anyone might know what the problem is?
just wanted to let u know...
when the program makes the data.dxar file the SHA-1 number always shows an error?? im not sure whats causing this..........any advice will be appreciated
Finnaly!!
The Mighty 1.50 FW is Officially DeThroned!!!
All hail the new King 2.71 SE!!
The lowest firmware that TA-082's can even run is 2.50, so you should be fine.
i dont no maybe its only me but everytime i try to download anything from this website it would just refresh the page but no download pop up would show ..has anybody else ever had this problem..if so is there a way i can fix that.? i tried everybroweser and its doing the same thing..any suggestions?
ok, so I updated from 271 SE A to 271 SE B, but now I cant get to my memory card. It just will just freeze every time! Please help. :(
I can't wait for SE C
on SE-B you can only play from ur mem stick on the SE-C,which Dark_alex is working on will be that function.
I just posted for help on the memory card problem, but the question was already answered. Thank you IBANEZMIKE
Hi Guys i want to know how i can make work this in 333 mhz i play GTALCS but see slow and monster hunter too and im a CheatMaster user the one you install in dh folders and i want know how i can make work this one or i need to use another program please answer that
Probably a stupid question but gotta know for sure, my UMD drive is busted and I haven't swapped it out yet so I have been using my PSP for Emu's but I have a few iso's. Would they boot just like Emu's without a UMD in the drive? If not no big deal, hopefully DA can maybe get that into a future release via a "Virtual UMD Drive" or something. Thanx for any info.
Where is the GAME150 folder in se-a so i can upgrade to se-b? thanks
Well if you have a pop up blocking tool bar, that usually blocks the download, try holding the CTRL key to let a singal pop up by, so hold it when you click on the download. Not sure if this applys to you, but it works for me.
If u updates to se-b can u use the generic degrader to downgrade it again if u need to.
i have the same drive and i am not having any isses.
Forgot to add so the Iso's could be "mounted" to the Virt UMD Drive etc. Thanx.
wut u do is get a 128mb or up memory card and do wut rct said or get a 128mb or up memory card and go to psp-hacks.com and download the installer then install 2.71 SE-A. After u install SE-A use the simple seb_update in this folder from QJ and use that to update ur psp in 5 seconds.
Very strange... The strangest thing is that the isos are loading OK on devhook. My memory stick is formated with FAT32 (to increase space). I will format to FAT to see what hapens.. Just a try.
Just make sure you have the recovery flasher in your psp/game/recovery folder, then put the 1.50 update in the same folder.
just make it manually, I did it and it works.
Is now completely useless. Neither UP nor 2.71 SE work on TA-082, so there is absolutely no point to epsilon bios. Hopefully (someday?) we can get something like this on TA-082? Maybe another HEN update that can use 1.50 split apps? Kernal mode maybe? Either way, Dark_Alex continues to impress me.
I can't wait for SE C
Hey Microb dont hate Dark_Alex!!!!!! dont lie about things like that and ruin it 4 people who never tried it yet!
just put the "flasher for recovery"(it came with 271_SEB) files in the psp/game/recovery directory, in the same folder, put the 1.50 update eboot file.
Does anyone know how can i rearrange the isos displayed in the psp
...And HarleyG and Mathieulh. This is truly a homebrewer's and ISO users dream. Finally, I can play Lumines and Coded Arms (my two favorite & broken games) w/o a loader!! I would recommend this to any 1.5 user. Honestly, now that you can use the GAME folder, UPGRADE PEOPLE. This has surpassed 1.5, and SE-C will obliterate it.
I did, and it work. Mabey it does it ""sometimes"". Just in case, I wont try again.
My PSP freezes every time I select the game menu. Please provide help, someone...
where do i put the folder?
OK i did everything that the drections said word for word, but now i can't select the memory stick or else the PSP freezes so i cant use Darx alex's daowngrader because it freezes before i can acess it............
What do I do now?
Mrbobo115
Does anyone know how can you organize your iso/cso like you organize your homebrew
Does anyone know how can you organize your iso/cso like you organize your homebrew
i wuld like to no that also, if there is a way, and also can u take scrrenshots on 2.71 SE-B
I just formated my 2 Gb mem stick to Fat and try to start Need For Speed, but still having error 80020148...
Anyone else having this problem???
Where do I put my isos? I put them in the games folder and it freezes up when I press x on the game part
Where do you put the game 150 folder
Dark Alex, very nice work and SE-C is going to be even better with the "no more UMD" option. Rock on. Anyway, a small suggestion based on your readme doc in this firmware and in SE-A.
For the love of god man, change the error message for the SEC flash and language changes. Right now you've got "DADADADA" and "987654321"... I know those have to be error messages you put in. Why can't you have something meaningfull in there?
Try these... SEC Flash Not Allowed or SEC Flash Update Unsupported and for the other... Language Selection Invalid or Language Selection Not Supported.
People won't have to freaking guess and search when they get those then, not to mention it's a whole lot cleaner looking too.
Come on dude, stop with the basic ass hacker error messages. You want to be a cool developer, set an example.
That is all, keep up the good work!
make the GAME150 folder where the MUSIC,GAME,MUSI C,etc folders are
There's a bug so that if you are missing a folder named "iso" in the root of your memory stick, it hangs when you try to open the game folder and crashes. The quick fix is just to add the "iso" folder and everything will be fine!
I guess PSP millionaire is in the 1% of not working home brews. I just tried a few ways of getting it started and had no luck. Not a big deal. Thanks for the great update, I can't wait till SE-C!
so basically, it's like 1.50, but I can run 2.71 umd's and do the other crap that 1.50 does? ...and it has the features of 2.71?
By modified bmp, do you mean having a wallpaper applied?
I would realy like to see 1.0 eboot support, since games like Super Mini Mario wont run under 1.5 eboots! if anyon eknows how to get then to load, please tell me!
some1 mentioned its the ISO folder.if u dun hv tat folder in ms_root, yr xmb game-ms will freeze eventhough u dun put any iso/cso in it.
has anyone managed to get pimpstreamer to work with this? or is it not possible? ive tried but no success :(
will using theme psp after i updated toSE-B brick my psp
originally there r 2 groups of homebrews. the 1.5 homebrew + the 2.71 homebrew.
this 2.71 SE-B is created 2 hv the ability 2 run 1.5 + 2.71 homebrew. u need 2 creat a folder called "GAME150" + put it in the same directory as yr original game folder which is in the PSP folder. so all 1.5 homebrew will hv 2 be inside GAME150 folder whilst GAME folder is meant 4 2.71 homebrew (by default).
basically 2 play safe, under PSP folder u can hv 3 types of game folder which are the original GAME folder, the GAME150 + the GAME271. the original GAME folder can run 1.5 or 2.71 homebrew depends on how u set it in the recovery mode but can't run both types all together in the same folder...4 the moment
So if we want to install this update, we need to have a 1.50 PSP first or what?
Yeah you do have to have 1.50 to upgrade To 2.71 SE
2.7 SE-B supports 2.81 games...? Im playing Ace Combat X and its a 2.81 game.... sweet ^_^
Installed it, works GREAT!!
had a problem with it not wanting to do the usbhosts though, but found a work around for it.
http://dl.qj.net/DEVHOOK-Launcher-VSHEX-Mod-1.65b-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/10837/catid/151
download that, copy folders dh and psp to respective places on ms, then use "devhook271 flash fix" inside the 271_SEB.rar file, and replace the dh/psp folders that you just replaced (i'm using psphost 1.7.0 with usb enabled btw) load up the "new" devhook (vshexmod 1.65b), select your settings my settings are: Image (any umd) firmware: 2.71(nandflash) Clock (222/111) (tried 333 but it froze a few time--but that was aslo trying to run cwcheat) autorun: disabled usb status: Host Connected woohooooo =) lemme know if this works for you guys as well. there were some problems i did run into when first starting the program, text was black on black, so it was hard to read, the analog stick up and down selects it, left and right to...well, ...sub-dir i guess you can call it, i put it green txt on black background. I'm only running CSO's so dont know about iso's. Home pressed, gets to the ISO/CSO's, held down for 3 sec's gets you the menu (refrain from pressing "X" --use analog left/right)
again....hope this works for everyone.
ok you cant do anything!there is no downgrader.. thus you can't try this...
so yeah.. you just have to use 2.80 Crappy features.... i have 1.50 and not updating... just seems dumb...
devhook works... and that's why i see no reason to update...
u nid 2 hv a umd in the drive. currently no-umd mode still unsupported yet.
the game Ace combat may use the old 2.71 files and not the 2.81.. so thus it will work.. i havent downloaded ace combat... but maybe i should.... so just load it in devhook or through 2.71SE-B
ok put the GAME150 in PSP folder.
after you do that.. put all your 1.50 homebrew in that folder..
I was worried about upgrading in the firstplace but this thing works like a charm.
seems like your F**KED!
try the REcovery mode.
in the PSP folder
create an ISO folder in da ms_root. put all yr iso/cso inside da folder. also dis will solve yr freezing stuff.
"So it's best to use the downgrader which formats the whole Flash0 first. That way, you can be sure that there aren't any useless files on your Flash."
the flasher does a logical formatting of flash0 why in the world would you have to go through all that trouble? Just installed it and I gotta say I'm a very happy man
OMG.... I used themePSP after the upgrading to the CF-B... MY PSP IS STUPIDLY BRICKED!!! My parents are going to be sooo pissed.... I wish I can change back!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
I did the same thing... WHY IT IS BRICKED? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 2.6 and I want this, but I'm affraid of getting a brick :S
what are the chances os bricking?
i have tryed all of the opinions given like adding the "iso" folder or the "GAME150" file and all that other crap and nothing is working. Does anybody else have this problem? and does anyone have a REAL solution?
can u still turn on yr psp into the recovery mode? if can den u still can unbrick it...it seems
so far no reports of bricking during installation provided u hv 2 read the readme.txt very very carefully. at least few time until u can visualise the actual steps to follow.
Dark keep Kicking SONY @$$
Great job..
the great thing about 2.71 se-b is the auto homebrew boot feature, if you brick your psp with some wacked out theme, you can restore the files by simply getting them from and old version of devhook, use theme psp as your boot program annd reflash everything theme psp will allow you too back to normal. ive tried this it worked for me when i jacked up my top right menu.rco
We don't care, wait like a lot of us did.
Um, even though i went into the recovery menu and changed the setting "hide corrupt icons" but my corrupt icons are still visible? anyone know what i can do?
allso where do i put my ISO's to make them visible on the game memory stick icon?
I put an ISO in the GAME folder and it wont show up on the mem stick icon, i allso tried putting it into the GAME150 folder and had the same result, what must i do?
my 1.5 psp just lost its virginty to a 2.71 firmware and created a nice offspring.........at least it wasnt raped by that 2.80 firmware
Make Sure again that the ISO folder is in the root of your memory stick and the GAME150 folder is in the psp folder where the other GAME folder is at and not in it make sure you got all the folders there even if they empty
Again peopleare not reading the posts here.
THE ISO FOLDER DOES NOT GO IN ANY GAME FOLDER. IT GOES ALONE ON THE ROOT OF YOUR MEMORY STICK
Can some one please do a step by step guide how I get from FW 2.5......
Don't know what to do
Thanks
I'm planing to update to SE-B and therefore I need EBOOTs with FW 1.5 and 2.71...
Where can I download the EU version?
Or can I use any FW version (UK? US?)?
Wow. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work.
Lumines and Gradius Collection iso's both freeze on loading, just like with Devhook though...
I followed the intructions and succesfully installed 2.71 SE-B. But the ISO/CSO files i put in the ISO folder don't show up in the memory stick menu. I don't know what went wrong. Does anyone have an idea how i can fix this?
When some games freeze up it because its messed up try to get a untouched iso to test out then rip it yourself or watever
works fine with jap psp, best firmware so far great job
i rly luv dis cso/iso option buh i think it will be better if he mar a new catgort for tha iso
like there is setting photo music network there should be another one call ISO's n tha memory stick icon should lead to ms0:\psp\iso
this way people wid alot of homebrew can be more organized and serperate tha iso from applications
just my opinion
You're absolutely great Dark_Alex...Thx for that! But how do I run cw_cheat on the new se-b Firmware? I dont get it!
what are "2.71 games"? Are they somehow different from 1.5 games? I've never even seen where you can download a 2.71 version of a homebrew.
sry for the stupid question, but i've been on fw 1.5 since may of last year, and i'm just beginning to think about upgrading now that this custom fw has all the features of 1.5 and 2.71.
Thats right although slow loading times the Hard Drive still works
As long as you read the readme.txt file a couple of times you wont brick it... just go slow and ask any questions here if you need help
Here is the problem that I had:
I've read everything in the readme.txt line by line. I did everything correct and my PSP rebooted the 2.71 SE-B without a problem. I checked the version with a smile on my face and then tried to enter the Game folder in the XMB. And then my smile and my PSP just get froze. I restarted it and create a GAME150 folder (by the way I already had GAME folder) and tried it again and it didn't work. I also tried with a UMD inside and got the same problem again. I couldn't enter the GAME folder. So I recovered back to the 1.50. My PSP is 1006, I have a 1GB MS and I don't know what went wrong.
create an ISO folder in yr ms_root side by side with the PSP folder. dis will solve yr problem
i read in the read me you can port it to eloader running firmwares and update to it.so i was woundering if there is a port or some one can make a 1 cos im really anxious about writing to flash especally 2 times!
I have had the same problem with one of my games, Super Money Ball Adventure (other games work). The CSO works fine in Devhook, but hangs when loading. Kinds sucks, I think this will become a common issue with think fw version. I currently have the compression set to 10, I will reduce it a bit and see if that helps. DA I really appreciate and respect your work, well done. I look forward to your future updates.
Maybe this helps to you all guys who cant play iso/cso i haveing the same problem but make sure you have iso/cso in ISO folder in root the same folder where it is the PSP Folder then when you put the game make sure you have a UMD in your PSP and make sure its a UMD GAME i tried with a UMD movie the first time Spiderman 2 and doesnt work but when im tried with my GTA liberty city or metal gear acid work perfectly i hope this help
ive semi bricked my psp updating to this. my recovery mode isnt working properly either!!!!!!!!w ont boot 1.5 upddate or any update for that matter (yes i have all the rite files in the right directories.) boll*cks damn f**kin thing. lol need a hand
How the hell can I get rid of al those corrupted data? It's very annoying to see al that corrupted data!
Just to confirm the ISO that the CSO file doesn't work using the firmware either. Still works in Devhook.
On the second loading screen of Super Monkey Balls you can see the red data light flashing, then it stops. About 5 seconds later the PSP turns off. Hopefully this doesn't occur with to many ISO/CSO files, just thought I should due my duty and report the issue :). Everything else works find. And for all the those people with game loading problems, READ THE READ ME DAMNIT! ISO FOLDER IN ROOT OF MEMORY STICK!!!
how do you uninstall the custom firmware?
that's why i don't update to this, too many bugs..
you can't customize it. well you can but .. no XFLASH!
i can do everythingyou can do with my 1.50 .. just use devhook...
less problems...
an alot easier
!
lol
How are you doing this. I have 2.71 SEB and the Ace Combat X UMD, but I can't get it to play without updating it.
Thanks a lot...
i did they same thing i always do i rip the umd onto my memory stick open it with iso buster took out the update folder... then cso that shiet ^_^
I just got Ace Combat X (which requires 2.81 fw) running on this. Great job Dark Alex!! Keep up the awesome work!!
2.6 installer soon?
I was banned for asking if I install this on devhook2.71 I`ll keep the home+l/r = switch iso feature. I wonder if mods read the ISO policy -____-...
alot easier my ass and it doesnt have too many bugs you can hid ethe corrupted icons by botting up your psp holding the R to get to configuration
Hen-C you mean Hennesey?
Jordan, I´ve had reported the same problem... My CSOs from Need for Speed Most Wanted and Go Sudoku don´t work on this firmware (but works fine in devhook). I have converted them back to ISO, but ain´t no work.
So, I´m waitin the next version.
Keep at it. It's probably just an ip thing cause I got it working.
ok all i need to no is yes or no ok i have to downgrade to 1.50 then do the lil dxar thing then i have to put the install folder for the flash and then i upgrade to 2.71 or what cuz i am lost i normally dont ask for help but this is like the 2 time i ask it is not that i am a noob is that i dont get this

did you try to run the cwcheat upgrade again?
Please Host
Hey, it's the 3rd time I try it (downgraded and reinstalled, even went with the new easy installer) and I still get the same problem... I don't hate Dark_Alex, I think his stuff is the best - the greatest developer of the scene IMO.
Still, my PSP wont play MP3 and is very unstable with SE-B... :(
I'll stick to Devhook for a bit longer I guess.
Microb
P.S. If I'm the only one in this situation, then I'm happy for all the others for whom it works.
I am not an expert with this kind of stuff, I just installed this 2.71SE-B and everything run perfect with instillation, but when I tiring to run mi ISO I have the following error “the game could not be started (80020321). I been tiring several ISOs but I have same error.
Thanks again for your help.
Can somebody tell me how I get IRshell to work on this.
I keep getting the same error game cant start. I have tried with both movie UMDs and game UMDs in the slot but I still get nothing. Any ideas?
I loved SE-A and SE-B is even better. It seems like all of the psp ROMs I download are in the DAX format though so I can't wait until SE-C is released. A note to all new
SE-B upgraders, you need to make a folder in the root of your PSP named ISO or it will freeze everytime you access the memory card from your game menu. I thought the SE-B was corrupt so I went into recovery mode and went back down to SE-A. So your mem card should look like:
ISO
MS_ROOT (or M*_Root)
PSP
Dark_alex you are a freaking genius keep up the exelent work!
or you will get that error. I am using GTA San Andreas and it works for me.
I had the same problem. It should look like:
ISO
MS_Root
PSP
all you have to do is make an ISO folder int he root of your memory card it should work fine..... i dont know how but it works
is it possible to make work custom firmware 2.71 SE-B CPU in 333/166 Mhz?
as always, in original 1.50, u can read the description when u highlight a umd game or an emulated iso in xmb. it describe the title of the game loaded or emulated.
well i've been testing many cso. though they work flawlessly in 2.71 se-b but does any1 notice tat all the csos shown in xmb-gamemenu-memorystick hv missing description? i can only see the animated cso (icon.pmf) showing in the xmb without any decription. some1 pls confirm. i think is a lack of coding in 2.71 se-b.
I finally got some of my backups to run. I had tried a few game UMDs and movie UMDs but they still wouldn't load. What finally worked for me was using the demo disk that came with my PSP. Now all my ISOs run great. Hope that helps someone else.
How do i check if i have TA-082?
Check inside of your UMD drawer for numbers. If you don't have any numbers in there you are good.
Do i have to have Firmware 2.71 SE-A Installed? or can i do it right from 1.5?
Just trying to be apsolutely sure.
I installed it after I couldn't get DevHook to work. Very nice.
I can't run my ISO's! When I select them on the Memory stick I get an error shortly after it starts!
I am now using Harleyg's Custom Firmware V0.2 and I want 2.71 se-b, Should I directly flash it or flash back to official fw 1.5 first?
I keep trying to start my games the way everyone else seems to be, and it just keeps crashing back to the XMB with a vague error message..
The game could not be started.
(80010002)
Sorry guys, just solved my own problem, there is in fact a difference between how game UMDs and movie UMDs are read. Just make sure, if you ever get the (80010002) error and have a UMD in the drive, just make sure it's a game UMD and it should work just fine.
Thanks kyo_52!!!!
THANKS DARK_ALEX!!! YOU'RE THE PWNAGE!!!
You are really retarted. Plus your still not the first one to post.
Getting on, I was really waiting to get this mod for 333mhz but I dont want an automated version. I want the switch version so It won't mess up my psp that much.
Not anymore...
Cant get the stations to play with this firmware.
Dark_ALEX did NOT code this, you know ...
Try actually reading the article.
You have to remove SE-B' with the recovery mode (DOWNGRADE) to remove it ....
I don't think Dark Alex made this... read the article
why don't you tell us... how can you downgrade without a downgrader? gee that makes sence...
You are really stupid my friend.
i am currently at 1.50 (downgraded from 2.71) ... and this custom firmwares are very interesting.There are many reports of people that got this to work ,but i am still scared to do this because i do not want to brick my psp.i was just wondering...couldn't they make an update the way sony does it. That would be safer i think :)
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced problems while playing Madden 07 in the new 2.71 SEB, because since I have upgraded to this firmware, I have played Madden 07 three times, and it has froze on me each time a few minutes after starting a game. I can still go back to the XMB Menu by pressing the Home button, but it sucks that I can't even make it to the second quarter without it freezing up. There is nothing wrong with the game and it worked fine on my 1.50 before I upgraded, and it also doesn't work on my friend's 2.71 SEB. I installed the firmware just as I was suppose to, I followed step by step, yet, this problem occurs. Has this happened to anyone else in Madden or any other game for that matter? Perhaps a glitch in the firmware? In any case, this is an awesome upgrade and I would like to thank Dark Alex for making such a great custom firmware! Hopefully he could fix this glitch, that is if it exists.
I have everything installed and it works great, however, can I delete all those updaters from my memory stick or do I have to leave them on the mem
ory stick?
I have played Madden for a half and no freezes for me.
i love it but have a couple of problems
when i'm running any of my emulators from "GAME150", don't see any folders (to open roms from) inside the "GAME150" folder. to the emus the GAME150 folder appears to be completely empty. other homebrews see it though…
for some reason, i can't get ANY homebrew from "GAME" to work. yes, i've tried adjusting in recovery mode.
and lastly, of course, a way to hide corrupt icons is badly needed. the preference option in recovery mode hides like 2 of them or something lame. and the game menu is very slow too…
and now i have another question: i don't have an "iso" folder on the root of my ms, but i don't get any of this XMB crashing that everyone is talking about.
but thank you DA this is awesome…
Cant you put this 2.80... I Tried it said game could not be started but it showed the PSP logo and the sound. could'nt u fool the OS to think the update with the 2.71 SE -B adds but put it as v2.82 (just 2 b safe) CE (Crappy Edition!) or 2.80 CE A.... DANG IT I WANNA PLAY MY HOMEBREW... Since i updated (New GAME made me do it!) I miss my GTA... Duke Nukem Cries because i can't kick alien butt anywere i go with out a laptop! and i get more frustrated when i cant KETM to drown my anger in to death filled happyness (of cource real killing is not what a do... i am a cereal killer... Tony the tiger... BEWARE)
Haven't been keeping up with the homebrew community as of late. Sorry if I sound like a noob.
Im running 2.0 Can I upgrade to the 2.71 SE-B directly or do I have to downgrade to 1.5
If so, then that would mean I have to upgrade to 2.71, install and run Hen-C, install and run the generic downgrader, then upgrade back to 2.71 SE-B. That sound right to anyone else?
This firmware is just awesome. I tried the new revisions and turned on the no UMD mode, and it's compatibility so far is fantastic.
k...so if my psp went into a partal brick by the 2.71 kenal bein' gone i could use the recovery menu because that uses 1.50 kernal rite?........But wat if the 1.50 kernal gets wiped out?.....then wat?...then i couldn't use the recovery menu 2 fix it cuz it only runs in 1.50 kernal rite?
plz answer
P.S. Dark_Alex u rock.....awsome custom FW
this take's 5 minutes 2 flash?
ur stupid....shut up
Using 2.80's ability of TIFF. using FileAssistant (tiff) to copy FLASH0: FLASH1: Files.. BTW i tried running this and it said
Game Could not be started.....
I was reluctant to install this revision because i can't play thru USB. I did it, it took all of about 1 minute, and i luv it!! Anxiously awaiting SE-C to play thru USB.
Another thing to consider eventually adding to 2.71SE, will be the ability to use memsticks greater than 4gb (as is possible in 2.81+). May be easier to hack 2.81 firmware. 8gb sticks are already out at about $160 a piece, and I would expect in the future capacities will go higher. I imagine when 32gb mem sticks are affordable, having a firmware that is limited to 4gb will then become a nuisance. Just add this to your features to add list.
I did need 3 *****ing hours to find out how to
- downgrade my psp 2.60
App the 2.6 -> 1.5 downgrader wouldnt work so i used
the flash utility from dar_alex his website and followed instructions.
- Then upgraded towards 2.71 SE-B
- Did all the pacthes up to 2.71 SE-B3
And it works *****ING GREAT
THIS IS REALLY, damm.... no words to describe my luck, sniff
I put dungeon siege iso : throne of agony in the ISO folder
& I just fired it UP , IT WORKED DIRECTLY !!!!
Dark_alex, please keep up the good work.
You Did a fine job ! Thanx & thanx again , x 100...
wolftje@telenet .be
it says that "after installing the custom firmware, theres not much space left on the flash 0, so its best to use the downgrader to clear useless files." how do i go about doing this??
so i was enjoying se-b until mlb the show decided to stop working. i thought it might be the iso so i ripped it again and compressed it but it still would hang at boot. same with the the uncompressed version. vcs still works but the show wont load. i downgraded to 1.5 and it ran fine in devhook. so i tried to reflash to se-b again and it still hangs. also hangs in devhook. anyone else have a problem with a game loading and then randomly stop working?
what does it mean by root of memory stick?i cant access the update as my psp just keeps freezing before shutting down. please help!
I know someone mentioned earlier that it does work on jap psp but do i need japanese version of 2.71 and 1.50 firmware to compile the custom firmware and will i also need to use jap version of 1.50 to downgrade first (im curretnyl running 2.71)
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?p+282871+posted+1#post282871 incase anyone is having the same problems. fixed it
PLEASE Dark_Alex please work on 2.8 I am stuck with nothing to do but play tetris :(
so if i have this, i can delete hen c?
i got a new 1.50 white psp its awsome but the only thing i dont like is its ta-082. im hoping se-c will allow 082 owners to use it
Great Work.
hi, dark alex, i've upgraded to SE-A and it worked perfectly, but when i upgraded to SE-B and i try to acces my mem stick it freezes. A little bit help please?
i just upgraded to 2.71 se-b'' and everything works til i either play a game, start the web browser or when i view photos. when choosing one of those 3, it automatically goes down as if the analogue stick is pressed down and stays stuck. is there away to fix it?
what about other downloaded application like pspradio? will it run on 2.71 se-b? just bein a lil confuse. thnk DAX
Currently I'm on 2.71 SE-A and go to run the SE-B updater which is sitting in the GAME150 folder.
I get "Press X to start the update" as usual. Then When I do I get:
"ERROR: the program has to be executed in the 1.50 kernel."
Any idea why?
IF YOUR PSP FREEZES AT SELECTING MEMORY STICK ON GAMES!!
I found the solution (disregard if it's been posted, I didn't check all the posts)
Start in revocer mode (reboot and hold R)
Toggle USB
Put the 2.71 b' update in /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY
Have it run that file from the recovery mode
i can open socom, vew several screens. but when the game tries to open game play, it freezes and shuts off. any ideas of what i could be doing wrong?
how do you get it to work someone online help me pleaseeee
Haha! ***** you $ony! I almost updated to 2.8 to play a soccer demo when I bought my PSP (2.6). I bought the "Value Pack" but the crappy little 32MB Mem Stick couldn't fit the updat and the demo. Because $ony are tight I missed out on getting screwed, now they can lick my chocolate salty ballz!
