FAQ/HELP

Here are some things you need to know about 3.03 OE-B,
-anything requires 1.5 Kernel(1.5, 1.00, 2.00 hombrew) goes into the GAME150 folder
-anything requiring 3.02/2.71 kernel(2.71 homebrew, demos downloaded from the playstation site, PSX eboots) goes into the GAME folder

Q-Why dont my homebrew work anymore?
A-3.03 OE-B requires you to either set the GAME folder into 1.5 kernel through recovery mode or (RECCOMMENDED) create a GAME150 folder inside the PSP folder.
After you created a GAME150 folder, place all your 1.5, 1.00, and 2.0 homebrew in that folder.

Q-How do i play isos and csos on 3.03oe-b?
A-Create an ISO folder in the root of your memorystick and place all your isos and csos i there.

Q-My isos/csos dont play, when i click on them i get an eror message.
A-Try checking to see if you got a UMD in the psp, unless you set your psp to "no umd mode", your isos/csos will not play, unstead they will launch and give you an error message

Q-My isos/csos lag or dont run or load right.
A-3.03 OE-B doesnt play all isos/csos perfectly (only a few games have these problems), I'd reccommend installing devhook to play the isos better

Q-How do i play my PSX games using the built in PS1 Emulator on 3.03 OE-B?
A-You can either download and buy them from the playstation store through the PS3, or you can convert psx isos into psx eboots, refer to this thread here (Smoking Aces).

Q-How do I listen to mp3s from anywhere on the xmb or playing a game?
A-Download the lates Mp3 module prx (link), place all the contents of the seplugins folder into the seplugins folder in the root of your memorystick(dont have one create one). Read the README and configure it to your liking

Q-My psp isnt a 1.5 or 2.71 se-c?
A-I'd reccommend downgrading if you can. If you are a NON TA-082 User with 2.8 or below firmware refer to this thread here (Madd Kat IS HERE) or is you a TA-082 User with 2.71 or below firmware refer to this here (Madd Kat IS HERE)

Nice tutorial, psp does it again

[bender123]

Although the installation notes are exactly like the read me, it's overall well written, what helps is the FAQ and Recovery Notes all on one page. Shame its a little late tho. Shame the noobs won't read this either...

[thetwiztidfreak]

At the begining of this tutorial you say only use a a 1.5, 2.71Se or a 3.03OEB firmware. did you mean to say 3.02OEB? just wanted to make sure before i upgraded. makes sense that it would be but just wanted to be sure.

[bender123]

You forgot an important step in the recovery instructions.
The user needs to use the official 1.50 Eboot.PBP and rename it to UPDATE.PBP
and stick it inside the Recovery folder.
