3.30 OE-A Installation Tutorial!!!

THIS UPGRADE WILL NOT WORK FOR PSPS WITH OFFICIAL SONY 3.10, 3.11, and 3.30 FIRMWARES INSTALLED

Description

*Basically its a custom firmware that has everything 3.30 has to offer and combines it with 1.5 homebrew capabilities and much more.
*It can be only installed as a full installation, due to some substantial changes in the bootstrap.
*Both, update maker and the flasher work in 1.50, 2.71 SE (whatever version), and 3.02/3.03/3.10 OE (whatever version)
*refer to the section below to see what has changed since Dark_Alexs last release
*If you want to see his last releases refer to here or here (Emulators)

Requirements
*your psp has to be a 1.5, 2.71 Se, 3.02 oe, 3.03 oe, 3.10 oe firmware installed on your psp
*Dont have a 1.5, 2.71 se, 3.02 oe, or 3.03 oe firmware psp?

Whats changed from Dark_Alex's last custom firmware releases?

* Complete PSOne (PS1) game library support
* Homebrew supposrt under either 1.50 or 3.30 kernel
* Region spoofing
* Pached 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

DAX says this doesn't support popsloader at the moment due to "Sony rearranging again the module list of pspbtcnf_pops", but rest assured that the great dev will be making a new version that will support all current pops in 3.10 OE, 3.30 OE and maybe 3.03 OE-C.

Wow PSP, already out with an Easy installer?(flasher)



Cool, but i'm stickin with 3.03 OE-C

[dalanx]

So this was tested already XD I just up`ed to 3.10 OE-A XD and was thinking of up`ing to 3.30 due to the PSX compatiablity

[zubieta]

Its Nice.
Top menus doesnt work.
But they shall soon.
Everything else works.



This is way better than 3.03 OE-C
Icons doesnt matters just wait them working.

after instalation, you only have ~270 free kb on Flash0
be sure to reduce flash space in order to proceed with customization.


Videos at 720x480 are just wonderful, beatiful, great...
Accelerated PSX games are cool too...

FFVII Battle Swirl is Back!

[the begginer]

hey might try it out.

270kb left on Flash0??!! jeez i hope in later revisions he somehow increases space. How much is on 3.03 OE-C's Flash0 once installed? Never checked...

Also Zubieta, how did you take that screenshot of your PSP? Is it a plugin?

[dalanx]

UP`ing Went perfectly, PSX games work like there accualy played on the PSX its self, YEY FFT FOR ME^_^ thanks for this advancement^_^

[zubieta]

yes its a plugin...
I dont remember how its called...
wait...
I think its called SVC screenshot module
its a prx you enable via recovery
and you take VSH screenshots by pressing [Music Note] button

It is also supposed to work in game, but always freezes for me...


EDIT: there are 270 kb free but you can dummy files such as some fonts
and save yourself about 2.5 mb... there is a tutorial about it around...

[adam]

doesnt look nice enough to upgrade yet

[zubieta]

it has lot of things better than OE-C
but the lack of icons is also important.

but if you want full res videos you have to get this thing Ohh am loving 720x480...
also, almost all the psx library is compatible with it! [still havent tried FFVIII...]

[wolf0491]

which rev so you think icons will come out on. oe-b i hope or maybe even oe-a' becasue i love them topmenu icons. i think i will update though for my PSX games. I guess i can stick with just custom waves and stuff for now.

EDIT: oh PSP you do know Bender is going to talk bad about your easy installer right.

[wolf0491]

i don't mind not having icons. It seems good and my FF7 is working better. i like the new change darkness level and sound level in PSx games also. haven't messed with other things yet though.
