Its mint!! Everyone upgarde now! Just playing on fifa 07 (legit iso) on 2.71! :)

YES! Its time to UPGRADE! ill soon post a video of this custom firmwire

yeah this thing rocks!

Just about to try now, wish me luck

so we can play iso’s on 2.71?? o.O im from holland not so good in english sorry :(

oh i forgot check this out
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4820075388556530876&hl=en

So all of my homebrew i’v got on 1.5, I can play on 2.71?

@5 & @7 yes you can play all homebrew on 2.71 but you have to put it in a folder called GAME150 instead of just GAME. Devhook works!!! :D

so wat can we TA-082 users do

Worked a treat no problems at all, just seeing what will run on it now, will give update
p.s upgraded to 2.0 then downgraded to 1.5 just to make sure I had a clean install

im from holland and its a USA update to 2.71 can i also use it?

i dunno, ill wait a while, i like the 1.5/dev for now.

Once i install, can i go back to 1.5?

here is the data.dxar is anybody needs it
http://rapidshare.de/files/36005052/DATA.dxar.rar.html

is that data.dxar from the files here on psp-hacks.com?? or from other sites ( 150.PBP and 2.71.PBP )

lol it takes hours to create the data.dxar started 10min ago still not done :(

Took me about 2min..

I’m about to flash..

Had POC firmware with TONS of XFLASH mods and it still went thru and updated to this new firmware with ZERO problems, love not having ot go back to 1.50 just to use my emus, this rocks

just a reminder

2.71 homebrew go in the “MS ROOT/PSP/GAME” folder
1.50 homebrew go in the “MS ROOT/PSP/GAME150″ folder

Just a question.. can you downgrade if you dont like it??

The data.dxar i supplied is created by me so its no fake or bricker

@18 it’s in the readme, you know, it doesn’t hurt your psp to download and look at the readme in the file heh

@19 well, more like add to what 19 said

if anyone has any suspisions just md5 check it, not like you have to take his word for it

If anybody wants a Full Package ready to flash here it is! http://rapidshare.de/files/36002270/2.71_SE-A.rar Thanks to Razgriz for posting it in the forums! Good job.

sry Didn’t read the readme close enough..

So do I run the actual Custom FW flasher on 1.5 or 2.7?

Thanks DCJoeDog for help clarifying everything! ;)

You run the flasher on 1.5

if you want clarification in the readme it says “At the moment, there is only installer for 1.50, although it could be easily ported to whatever
firmware with kernel access such as 2.60 and 2.71, but at the moment i prefer not to doing it to avoid
TA-082 using it and bricking their psp’s.”

Thanks. I didnt see anywhere in the instuctions as to which one. and thanks for the link to the pack!

What’s the recovery folder for? Do I put it in the game forlder too?

OMG,,,, My Battary is to low :(

Just a quick update, everything seems to work fine if anything everything seems a bit quicker than on 1.5. Have got corrupted icons though even though I disabled them through the recovery menu, Very pleased so far, and all legit iso’s work great. conclusion every 1.5 user should try it, if you dont like it you can always downgrade again

………..Think Ill just wait for someone to make an easy installer….I’m kind of afraid Ill do some mistake and brick the psp…..
Ill just keep waiting….cause this surely Rocks!!

My battery is also to low.. Im charging it right now..:P

i have done all staps…
and its so cool :D I LOVE IT !!
this is perfect :D and it also runs the demo’s :D like loco roco ;D well we needed this stuff from the begin of the PSP :D Good Work AleX keep up the good work!! xD

let’s hope GTA: VCS is Firmware 2.71 :C

it says to get the 2.71.pbp and 1.50.pbp in seupdmaker but i only see a eboot.pbp.. i know im doing something wrong but what is it?

Dark_AleX is on a KILLING SPREE

no – no.

HE’S RUNNING A RIOT BITCH!

@35:
It doesn’t matter if you have an ISO, just emulate 2.81 (when it is released)
It’s bad if you buy the game though….

@36:
Just get the 2.71 update and rename it 271.pbp
Then. get the 1.50 update and rename it 150.pbp

i just want to thank SONY for making a circuit board
and thanks to Dark_AleX for MAKING IT WORK.

I don’t see the point of this when I already have 1.5 with devhook emulating 2.71. Can Someone explain me how this app so special?

Is it me or are iso’s loading faster with devhook and such while using this custom firmware? I dont know why they would but the loading times seem faster!

i still gonna w8 whit upgrading a wield but when the mayor hombrew is made 4 2.71 i gonna upgrade i can still do evrything u do whit my 1.5

shweeeeeeetttttttt!!!! CARTMAN smile :)
cool cool !!

@40

Well, for me at least, the best thing is not having ot go back and forth between 1.50 for homebrew and emulators and 2.71(dh emulated) for my devhook run isos and new games, this does it all in one firmware enviroment, without the need to reboot or escape 2.71, just put the psp to sleep and you can keep the DH setting indefinitely

bricked my psp, everything was working fine until it came to flash acess,then on all the things panic error my psp is not ta whatever!

I used the package that was uploaded by raz, and the install went fine. But when I change my folder to game150 its not seen anywhere on the psp screen can anyone help?

WHAT THE FUCK MAN.

HOW THE FUCK DID I BRICK MY PSP? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

FUCKING PANIC ERRORS. I USED 150 (US) AND 271 (US) AND MAD THE OUTPUT FILE. THEN TRANSFERED THAT TO THE OTHER PROGRAM AND INITIATED UPGRADE. THEN ALL THE SUDDEN PANIC ERRORS. OMFG.

A big thank you to Dark_Alex from the UK. I tried this US version on a UK PSP with 1.50 and it works absolutely perfect. Devhook 0.46 woirks a treat too. Many Thanx

nm i figured it out.

After install i got that error screen at startup and hit O and it restarted and works great i uprgaded my original 1.5 since day 1 and am loving it. Thanks alot man.

For those who are waiting for noob-friendly installs.. I’ll do this in a day or two. I’m currently making the file directory and writing the readme while troubleshooting stuff on it. I’ll make sure I make a detailed readme and noob-friendly instructions. Just give me a few more days and I won’t disappoint you guys. As for those who are wondering how this is useful and what does it work on, let me tell you: this works on 1.5 only because D_A didn’t want to have ta-082 users bricking their PSPs, so he made the install only for 1.50 users, so all those existing non-ta082 users who have 2.71, downgrade to 1.50 and wait for my package to come, or do it yourself if you can’t wait. And this is useful because it combines 2.71 into 1.50, making this custom firmware a 2.71 w/ 1.50 features and patched kernel. It can do much more than a 1.50, but still, you need a 1.50 to use this custom firmware. People who are saying: 2.71 rawkz 1.50 sux.. you’re wrong.. without 1.50 in the first place, you can’t flash and use this custom firmware to your PSP, therefore, 1.50 is still the pwnage. ^_^

thanks zephyrus….was waiting….and will keep waiting…..but thanks in advance

Did nobody see the package that #22 posted for all these files already done and setup to use? http://rapidshare.de/files/36002270/2.71_SE-A.rar

I used them and they worked great how can you mess it up.

#47 & #48 why the fuck did you have to post a Panic comment, i’ll wait til Dark_AleX makes a difference revision…
but still thinking about updating

i have to wait until my new computer gets here before i can use this, i woke up next to my naked wife and nothing, i saw this and i jizzed myself a little

Yes, I saw that, but it’s not detailed enough. I’m making a complete package included with many stuff for newbs and a perfectly detailed readme, so if people who know what they’re doing, just get that pack or dump the thing yourself, for people who don’t, keep waiting, I’m already halfway done, just need to do some testing and write a detailed readme, should be released within 12-24 hours. ^_^ but now i have to go to school for a paper, so yeah.. will be back in 4 hours time to continue constructing the pack. =D

HAHA.. fuckn hilarious!

i tried it and it works perfect. recommended for all 1.5 users

#54 were do you put the RECOVERY folder at??

In your root folder

you know what would be Great. if Dark_AleX creates an Upgrade eboot.pbp to this 2.71SE-A
that would be alot easier and better for noobs.
i wonder if thats possible

I put RECOVERY in the root of the memory stick and the other 2 in the psp/game directory and ran the program within the psp. It was pretty simple and well worth it. Only mistake i made was thinking you rename your GAME folder to GAME150. My psp didnt reconize it until i made another folder named GAME and changed my original game to GAME150 since it was full of my 1.5 crap anyway.

Zephyrus
I forgot to ask…where do you think you’ll upload the package?here in the comments, in psp-hacks itself….or where??????????????

hmm….I have one question, from reading the read me, it said this “Programs that hacks the flash like xflash, pspset, sxt version changer, etc are not
recommended to be used here.” so does that mean I can’t change the gameboot anymore!?!?

Yay, Unbricked my half-brick.
Thanks DA, I could only boot into dh before, but with a little hacking, I managed to get 2.71SE-A installed.

Thanks a lot

haha, fuckin douchebag

wait so how can you play 1.5 games once you run devhook without going back to 1.5

what iso loaders can i use with this firmware that support .dax becuase daxiso dosnt work and i cant get devhook .46 with the dax plugin to work, so if some1 could tell me that would be greast

i don’t know if i should upgrade or stay wih 1.50
and also my 1.50 firmware is modified like gamoboot and custom labels, etc.. will that effect the process.. it is a clean firmware which i downgraded from 2.71—.1.50–1.0then upgraded to 1.50
so yeah..

This is absolutley amazing!!! also, ISOs runs at about 150% faster!!!! great jub DarkAlex!!! greeting from Israel!!!!

Guys gohead and use psp set because i did and it worked fined i have a custum gameboot and black wavy background x-flash b/c it checks the FW but psp set doesn’t. :) Thaxs Dark ALEX

72 Adrenaline187, which Devhook did you use to get it to work if you don’t mind me asking? Or anyone for that matter? I can’t seem to find one that works.

It works fine with me 2 !!!! with POC and gamboot …
The Iso Loeading works fine with Devhook that its in the package . Even NandFlash works fine … Perfect
Even my Counter , Works in it….

Ceers Every one.
Thanks to lord: Dark_Alex

Visit my blog to be a Developer : http://pspdeveloping.blogspot.com/

Whic ISO loader should I just with this for DAX cause DAZISO is not working for me.

DaxZiso Works For ME:
Make a Folder :
ms0:/PSP/GAME150
and put the
_SCE_DAXZISO and %__SCE__DAXZISO

there and The DAXZISO at the Root of your ms
it will work

If u didn’t do this … It won’t work..
Because it uses 1.50 kernel…
So ita can’t load.

Have Fun Every 1.

Visit My Blog To Be a Developer 2.. Its not that hard…
But any way Dark_Alex rocks…
http://pspdeveloping.blogspot.com/

Not workin so well for me. Exactly how should I go about getting back to 1.5?

@Justin: no, he can’t create a update, because he would have to include many sony copyrighted stuff that may get him into trouble. this custom firmware only flashes certain files over to make it work, not the whole thing that makes the PSP run. That’s why. Anyway, you just upgrade to 2.71, and use the updateflasher to downgrade it to make sure you get a clean firmware. Then, wait for my noob-friendly pack which should be released within the next 24hr. ^_^

@kurotenshi: it will be uploaded here at PSP-Hacks by greg when I’m done with it. don’t worry about it, i just got home from school and i’m about to continue with it.

@gir: if you wana get back to 1.5, you should place the recovery in PSP/GAME/RECOVERY and place a 1.5 eboot there and rename it to UPDATE.PBP. Then press R while turning on your PSP to get into recovery mode, then you can choose to revert back there. ^_^

all my games doesn’t launch from daxziso can you post your working setting for daxziso 62

Uh ohs.

Tried the recovery/update.pbp thing and it says
“game could not be started (80010002)”

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

UMD emulator with some features working
http://forums.maxconsole.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=8417

The 1.50 eboot listed on the PSP-Hacks article is a japanese one according to the Readme file inside the zip, is this the correct 1.50 to use to create the DATA.DXAR file?

yes it is we all used it or If u r still scared, I’ll send u a link for a US 1

oops sorry my bad:
here it is:
http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=163

No thats cool, thanks anyways though..

Also, one other question, does it matter what version of 1.50 you have (I originally got my 1.5 firmware from the Devhook 0.46 Easy Installer), ie. does this flash the entire flash or use the current 1.50 files in your flash and just add more data?

It reflashes every thing so …. If your scared u can downgrade to 1.00 then upgrade to 1.50/…..
then go to 2.71 SE-A thats what I did….. And here I am

Ok excellent, thanks for the info, i gotta say, Dark Alex has outdone himself this time, and did you notice that he is planning on adding built-in ISO support to custom firmware at a later date… imagine that, we will be able to have 2.71 and not even need to load devhook to play ISOs… amazing!!

@A Murg: it replaces many data and can be considered as “reflashes every thing” like Mr.Eror said. You don’t have to downgrade to 1.00.. lol, just run it and you’re all good, man. Anyway, I’m still making my pack, and I’ve heard Chaos also did one which should be posted up before mine since I’m still in the process of troubleshooting it.

here is the 1.50 –> 1.00 downgrader and its eassy to use.
It gaves u the 1.50 update to… lol
It’s safer I think If u downgrad then do it….
But 3 of these guys used this update flasher … with custom firmware …
and 2 with custom game boots and other thinks so,,,,,,

Oh yeah, if anyone is looking for a little freeware utility to check MD5 and SHA-1 Checksums, this little program is great, it adds a tab to your File Properties in Windows which shows you the MD5 and SHA-1 Checksums, which will allow you to check your DATA.DXAR file to make sure it is right…

http://www.beeblebrox.org/hashtab/hashtab_setup.exe

I was scared so I downgraded …..
He can do it to.

My PSP : 2.01 —> 2.5
2.5 —> 1.50
1.50 —-> 1.00
1.00 —–> 1.50
1.50 —-> 1.00
1.00 —–> 1.50
and now 1.50 —-> 2.71 SE-A
I’m crazy I know….. But I didn’t brick my psp :)

I think thats a little bit late .. lol
U had to post this like 6 hours ago

visit me:
http://pspdeveloping.blogspot.com/

LOL, i guess you are right :) Thanks for all your help

If i have Harleyg’s Custom Firmware installed on my 1.5 do i have to uninstall it to run this.

Actually, I use HashCalc (http://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/index.htm) personally. ^^ And, L337P1R0, it’s probably best that you install it with a clean firmware, try to uninstall your custom firmware, upgrade to 2.71, use the updateflasher by dax to downgrade back to 1.5, and since it does a clean format of the flash0 like sce updaters do, you’ll get a “clean” firmware.

@Mr.Eror: using the 2.71 generic downgrader by dax aka update flasher is way better than downgrading to 1.00 because not all 1.50 can downgrade to 1.00.. and some people might just end up bricking by using ur method just because they are “scared”.

yup …. good luck with what ever u r going to do …
lol

alex, good work! oh its exellent work. but im a 2.8 user. can you make a 2.8 to 2.71 downgrader? i cannot play my favorite games in nintendo.

don’t worry i think the next on the list is that

dude .. i can’t update my 1.50 pspto official 2.71 firmware. i downloaded the firmware and put in my mem stick and says data corrupt.. …
ugh!!!

IT WORKED!!!!!!! SUPER-AWASOME :D
thanx DAX

i cant get either devhook or daxiso to work, and there in the right folder GAME150

and ive updated to 2.71 then i did the update flasher back to 1.50 for a clean firmware, then updated to 2.71 se and nothing will work this is BS

I upgraded my 1.50 to this firmware……and i got to say the only firmware that didn’t work….was virtual recorder

NICE

o yea, do you guys know how to downgrade it so that i could get the noob version?

@104: sansuke32:

In the readme file it states that you MUST create a GAME folder regardless of whether you use it, it wont pick up anything in your GAME150 folder until you create a GAME folder as well…

I have a Japanese PSP, so I am assuming I should download the Japanese 2.71 Eboot??? Do I need to use the US 2.71 to make this work??? Help would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks

i want to add a custom game boot like the blood slash thing but am affraid that it will brick the psp with this firmware what should i do?

I wanna downgrade mine now……this is pretty much lame if i can’t use virtual recorder.

well i’m am still pending if i should update to this….
i just did a Clean firmware, and now just ready to install…
hmmmm
……………………..
\thinking about it..

Can someone tell me on which version of psp will i use this.

v1.5 or v2.71

oh yeah i did it!!!!! and yeah it’s pretty cool

can some body please tell me if adding custom game boots to this will brick my psp?

#114 this is for v1.5 only

nevermind.

Got it.

Focking amazing^^

But I think I’ll wait til Booster release his new Devhook..
I’ve read thats its a Custom FW as well.
And til that day my 1.5 will stay^^

i want my new computer so i can set this up

this is a special edition thanks for dark_alex, respect! now the 2.8 downgrader will be the next one of dark_alex works. cuz i’ve still 2.8! and i’m waiting, congratulations dark_alex, you got rock!

Just an update for anyone thats interested I have now sorted my homebrew into the correct folders i.e GAME and GAME150 everything works really well, although I still have a few corrupt icons which is strange but on the whole I am really pleased with this custom firmware and am really looking forward to future releases, never thought I would get rid of my 1.5 fw but on this ocasion I am more than happy to do so.
Great work Dark Alex keep up the good work mate.

Well i bit the bullet and did it, and it went perfectly, i didnt generate my own DATA.DXAR file though, i instead used the one listed here in the comments, i checked it first to make sure the MD5 matched, and it is not BEAUTIFUL!!! This is AWESOME…

Did have the POC_Firmware on but used the POC_Unflasher and ran the pre-packaged file from the link here…thanks for that. Working fine here, gonna go grab a load of psp backgrounds now…yay :D

# 114 it won’t but can’t use xflash b/c it checks the FW
psp set doesn’t but gamboots kind of suck b/c on top of it says PSP SONY w/e

dumb question, so if you’re gonna yell and call me a noob, stfu. it says 99% of 1.5 homebrew, can we use programs such as irshell?

everything went fine, as i am now running this firmware. For some reason though, when i run snes9x tyl, it cant see the roms folder. Same for DGEN and BOR. i dont know what to do to get them to see the folders and whats in them…Any help is greatly appeciated.

Can someone help with DaxZiso cause I can launch the program but none of my games works they work fine un devhook. I just want the games launch right away instead of going to rmx and run the games

that’s what i’m trying to do to.. when i try to use DAXZiso and select my game it freezes and goes to a black screen.

hmmm u can get a Umd_Emulator … or Fastloader.
But If you really want DaxZioso:
Put both _SCE_Daxziso and %_SCE_Daxziso in:
ms0/psp/game150
and put the Daxziso file into:
ms0:/
and it shoud work…. Coz it works for me ;)

possible to swap the O and X keys?

i have tried different Versions Of DAXziso , but same result… i guess i’m stuck with Devhook.
could anybody post the files for fastloader or UMD emulator. i have tried those but it seems not to work..
thanks

128 which version of daxziso are you using and how did your set can you let us know thanks cuz I copy it to the right place but when I launch any of my game my psp just shut off but they work fine under devhook

How do you make the dxar file? someone please give me their msn add so they can guide me. Thanks

My PSP Bricked :(

it was on 1.5 FW After Flashing a Blue Screen Appered, I Pressed the O Button and then MemoryStick LED is on but my PSP is Still Black :((

@125: HEMPY: Most emulators save the last folder you used for the ROMs, this would be PSP/GAME/{emulatorname}, however, since you have probably renamed your GAME folder to GAME150 and created a new GAME folder, the saved location of your ROMs for the emulators which save paths are now wrong, try changing paths using the interface on the emulator, if this fails check the config file for the emulator you may need to edit this and change the path manually…

@133: Unforgiv3n: Try holding the RIGHT Shoulder button down while turning on your PSP, maybe the files for the recovery mode were loaded onto your firmware, you never know :)

does ir shell work

why want my nba live iso will not play

I dont know, all my ISOs worked fine…? Instead of just saying “it wont play”, how about you describe what your problem is exactly?

Everyone who was waiting for my complete ultra noob-friendly pack, it has been done. Although I don’t have much time due to exams, I did this, but I haven’t tested it out on my own 1.5 yet, since I’m “psp-strapped”, currently dont have my 1.5 with me.. so yeah. It should work, if you experience any problems, drop me a PM in the forums, or an email, if you know how to find it. =D (dont add me on MSN though).

http://www.black-chronos.net/PSP/271SE_A-full.zip

how can i flash back to fw 1.5???

Get the Recovery from the dark Alex site .. (Its in the 2.71 SE-A Pakage)
Put Revovery and %Recover in the GAME folder
Its easy get a 1.50 Eboot and name it :
Update.pbp
then but it in the recovery folder in GAME
amnd start it ;)

#129 yes use psp set xflash will say wrong frmware version and won’t load it

@ 139 Zephyrus

You sir are a legend. Just used your guide and files on my 1.5 PSP and it worked PERFECTLY. All done in 2 minutes. Albeit the scariest 2 minutes of my life.

I highly recommend getting this guide. As a precautionary measure I formatted my memory stick first.

2.71 with 1.5 functionality boo yah!

YO! HOW DO YOU INSTALL EMANIA

Odd…DH doesn’t work for me
I can run 1.5 homebrews fine (except for that stupid corrupt file stuff, but I don’t really care atm), but ISOs aren’t loading with DH. Come to think of it, non-GUI DH never worked for me even before I got the 271SE.

Why on earth is that? Aren’t the two DH the same thing?

Woop. NVM, I guess it’s just this one game that stopped working after I went to 271SE. Weird.

Can I Go Back To 1.50 If I wanted to? If so how?

Just a couple of things to note with the SE firmware, some of them you may already know:

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
DO NOT USE the merge devhook to firmware settings in devhook, it will probably brick your PSP

1) Korean and Chinese languages in the system setup are disabled because they are not compatible with the 1.5 Bootstrap

2) You cannot use Sony Official updaters to update your firmware, to use them you must downgrade to 1.5 first

3) Hold R for the recovery menu

4) 1.0 AND 1.5 homebrew MUST be put into the GAME150 folder not the GAME folder (you can rename it, but see point 5)

5) You MUST create a GAME folder if you are to use the homebrew which you put in the GAME150 folder, if you dont create a GAME folder no items will appear in your XMB (this has caught many people out)

5) 1.0 and 1.5 homebrew will NOT WORK with WPA encryption because the 1.5 kernel is used to load these, therefore you still cant use WPA with 1.0 or 1.5 homebrew, but 2.71 compatible homebrew (under the GAME folder) will be able to use WPA encryption for the WLAN

6) Straight from the readme file “Using the restore default parameters is not recommended. It won’t brick your psp since it can be recovered with recovery mode, but still, not recommended”

7) If you use the disable Sony logo on startup option in the recovery mode it will also disable the Auto UMD load when you start your PSP (unfortunately it seems to also disable it when emulating ISOs under devhook when using the SE firmware, which is weird)

8) The hide corrupted icons may not work for ALL kxploited homebrew.

Most of this stuff is taken from the Readme.txt file but some of it isnt in there…

Re: 5)
Whats the point upgrading a 1.5 to 2.71 SE??

Those other homebrews such as; eReader, DAX, UMD Emulator, PMP Mod, dictionary… etc. are brilliant to use, would be a pity if we have to stop using those.

4 everybody:
No it wont work on a ta-082
yes you can downgrade back safely to 1.50
All homebrew except for ir-shell)which is now patched will work
Yes it will do isos.
yes devhook does work
Yes you have a (small) chance of bricking
yes recovery mode
all homebrew
easy install

@ #143:

You’re welcomed, lol. ^_^

took me about 2 mins to update on my JP PSP – using the US EBOOTs – no problems!

one thing: does UMD Emulator not work now? (I tried it in the /GAME150/ DIR)

if not, what else works for UMD emulation?

Getting same problems described above (#127) with DAXiso also – try loading the ISO, screen goes black, nothing happens, have to restart PSP. Tried various configurations in DAXiso also (Direct Load, System Menu, Direct LoadExec) and all produce same result. The UMD Emulator option loads up UMDEMULATOR 0.8c as expected, but trying to start ISOs just causes it to freeze up…! A couple of ISOs do work with DAXiso though, but mostly just get the black screen and nothing (I assume the PSP is freezing up when trying to load the ISO)

Just use DevHook to play your ISOs i havnt found any problems with running Devhooked ISOs under SE

I know this msg is going to piss a lot of people off, but I’ve got firmware 2.6 on my PSP, can I still apply the 2.71SE-A or do I have to do something else before applying it. Sorry, I’m just a noob (just got my psp) and I don’t wanna brick it either lol

if ur scared, just do it…thats wut i did and im runnin 2.71 se-a and it rocks!!!

nice work Dark_Alex!!!! u rok my psp world!

[FW 1.5 with Devhook 0.46 versus FW 1.5 flashed to 2.71 SE-A]

Besides the fact that you don’t have to boot in 1.5 or 2.71 modes to run homebrews, emulators, and isos, what advantage(s), if any, does this 2.71 SE-A has?

I had FW 2.6, I downgraded to 1.5, installed Devhook 0.46 and everything is just perfect. I run homebrews and emulators directly in 1.5 mode, and use the 2.71 emulator that Devhook includes to run all isos. So far I haven’t had a single problem.

So pretty much my question is, are you willing to risk bricking your PSP and performing a rather obscure flash of it, when you can just install Devhook and not risk anything, just so you don’t have to boot in 2 different FW modes? Or is it that 2.71 SE-A offers any advantage, like it is faster or something?

I am able to run Homebrew on a 2.71
TA-O82 board…. NUFF SAID~~

i have a 1.50 psp I just upgraded it , i forgot to make the data.dxr, tnx god somebody post it in here
now after i download it gonna flash it na!!!!

@#164: I guess it’s just so people who have UMDs can still run UMDs (except for the new ones with version 2.8 or 2.81) directly without the hassle of the prompt to upgrade to version 2.xx when the UMD is put in? I’m just taking a stab… lol I’m still trying to figure out if this 2.71SE-A will work on a version 2.6 PSP as a direct flash or if I had to downgrade to 1.5 first…

last nyt I updated my psp to 2.71 but i did not play my smackdown vs. raw 2006 umd, I got this error 8002012d, but my street fighter alpha 3 umd disc works fine, I downgrade my psp to 1.5 again, then install 2.71 SE-A, But still didnt play SVR2006. I use devhook to try to load it using 2.71 firmware, it did not worked.., I have solved this problem by installing a 2.50 firmware in my devhook, using devhook firmware installer and my umd svr2006, so when i want to play my svr2006 i just need to set the firmware of devhook to 2.50! weird huh? is der others games that 2.71 cant play? g

hey got a question if u want to down grade 2.71 se-a can u use the 2.71 downgrader, are they the same?

@#168: Indeed, so far it seems that the only advantage 2.71 SE-A offers over Devhook 0.46 is that you don’t need to boot in 2 different modes to run things.

Obviously I appreciate the effort Dark_AleX put into this, and it is rather amazing. However for people who are just interested in running homebreweds and ISO’s in a safe manner (without flashing our PSP’s) and don’t mind rebooting (which only takes like ~5 seconds anyhow), then Devhook is our cup of tea.

Also in regards to newer games, when the emulator and the flash for 2.81 come up, it may be more feasible to run a 2.81 emulator on Devhook, rather than having to flash it into 2.81 which may be another cryptic lengthty and risky process.
