3.40LE Installation Tut + Review

[canadianbacon]

Long story short, I needed to re-flash my psp, so I said why not try 3.40LE..

Review (scroll down for installation tutorial)

The installer:

Checks and creates the files just like 3.40OE-A or 3.52M33 (manual installtions)

The bad, it doesn't actually create a flasher, it just automatically runs the flasher after words.. Hence the name of All In One Flasher

It asks you if you would like to begin, then it asks you again if you would like to start, then gives you 10 seconds to quit.. Very nice for scared people..

The freaky part is, it shows you it's deleting the flash0 files, I know it does but seeing is scary..

After installation:

The built in xmb recovery feature is nice, but actually doesn't work as well as the ported one for 3.52M33, freezes whenever I try to reboot, or turn off through it..(fixed in v3)

The file manager does not work (removed in v3)

At first there is a battery bug with it either said I had 0% battery or 257% battery.. After restarting it's fine though..

The actual recovery is the new fancy one, looks exactly the same as the in-xmb one, just not while your in the xmb..

The auto detecting kernal is very cool and works perfect, good one wildcard.

NO-UMD feature barely works like 3.40OE-A

In v3 "run program at /psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp" only runs if there is a file, another good one wildcard.

Pros:
Built in in-xmb recovery
Auto detecting homebrew (all homebrew goes in game, no need for game150 or 340)
Fancy recovery mode

Cons:
No umd is bad
Not latest firmware ( I KNOW IT GOT LEAKED, JUST SAYING )
Freezes sometimes in usb or game -> memory stick

Overall 8.5/10

They could have made it 3.52 (again I know it got leaked.. just saying)
They could have made a better NO-UMD

Suggestion for upgrading to 3.40LE:

If you don't like M33, or if you want to stay at 3.40 and want updates.

Otherwise there are no positives if you upgrade from 3.40OE-A or if you downgrade from an M33.

Installation:

Download 3.40LE : PSP Downloads | 3.40* Leaked Edition
Download 1.50 eboot: PSP Downloads | 1.50 EBOOT
Download 3.40 eboot: PSP Downloads | PSP 3.40 Firmware Update

Extract 3.40LE from the rar, and take out the "Wildcard All-in-one-flasher" (if on custom firmware, otherwise use the 1.50 only folder) then extact the 1.50 and 3.40 eboots and rename them to "150.pbp" and "340.pbp".

Place the eboots in the "Wildcard All-in-one-flasher" and place that in GAME folder. Run the Wildcard All-in-one-flasher, it will create the data.dxar, then automatically run the flasher. From there you must agree to run it, twice, and have 10 seconds before flashing! Once done manually restart and bam you're on 3.40LE!

After your done here is the update v3: PSP Downloads | 3.40* LE v3 Update Patch
