2.71 SE-B to be Released Soon

greg | October 24, 2006

Word on the virtual street is that Dark_AleX will soon be releasing a new version of his custom firmware — 2.71 Special Edition: Revision B (2.71 SE-B). It’s currently in the testing phase and will feature the following additions:

  • Built-in ISO/CSO support (DAX to be added in 2.71 SE-C (or later)). The ISO/CSO in the “ms0:/ISO/” folder will display in the game menu. At this time an UMD has to be in the drive (that won’t be needed in the future releases);
  • Ability to set the “ms0:/PSP/GAME/” folder for 1.50 kernel homebrews and “ms0:/PSP/GAME271/” for 2.71 homebrew (this is optional);
  • Ability to run an EBOOT at startup;
  • Some game compatibility issues were fixed;
  • Ability to force the use of boot.bin in UMDs;
  • Ability to enable/disable the noplainmodulecheck patch in UMDs/ISOs (for advanced users);
  • All previous features from SE-A.

2.71 SE-B is currently being tested by Dark_AleX, Mathieulh, and harleyg; expect to see it in the near future!

I´m so happy to hear this, sounds awsome, and can´t wait for this and revision C since it should have DAX support and no umd required to play isos, wow.

Good work Alex and others working on this project.

Me too, I’m still a 1.5 user and both this versions don’t seem like much to me but revision C , now that’s what i’m talking about. Dark you da man!

@6

why emulate 2.71SE on your 1.5?? Yust emulate the normal 2.71, there is totaly no reason to emulate 2.71SE as it is the same thing…and the iso and cso support you already have with devhook…so al you people with FW 1.5 stop saying that you want to emulate 2.71SE !!

can’t wait for the 271SE-B….you are the best D-A !!

At first I was hesitant to install 2.71se but afterwards, I don’t know what I was thinking. Now, giving the support for ISO/CSO; who needs emulation!!! It’s all supported. Props to everyone who makes this possible.

Will there be any way to upgrade form 271SE A to the new version? ISO support would be amazing.

Did I read this correctly, that “We wont need UMD Disk in the future to play iso’s”?

Thanks,

Comment by Sebo
2006-10-24 20:23:51

I didn´t put 2.71 SE A on my PSP cause i was kinda scared to brick it.
The point is that i have Harley´s Customfirmware atm and i don´t know if anyone changed from that to 2.71 SE A without problems…..
But i think i´ll give it a try, this new frimware sounds amazing.
So, just to calm me down, does anyone here have experience in “upgrading” from Harley´s Custom to 2.71 SE A?

To 28, Un-install it first,then upgrade this latest version, just to be on the safe side………

That should be easy enough

@28…mate i installed 2.71SE-A from my 1.5 with harleyg’s firmware no problem. check out dcemu plenty people have done it. the installer formats your flash so it’s safe. If your extremely paranoid then follow #29 but it IS safe.

on topic…yaaaaaaaa! roll on rev b. iso’s from the xmb? no jumping through dev hoops to get various shit working? This firmware is the new 1.5! bye bye 1.5….
DAX RULEZZZZ!!

Just wonder when will it support UMD “video” game using 2.71 firmware, is it in the road map of SE?

good work.

WHAT? no datel / neopsp (microdrive, SD, etc) user support yet ?!? :( I hope this support is included in the “compatibility” feature

This is awesome news!!!

Yeah, Go Dax ], harley g, and Mathieulh.
Power to the People.

I love 1.5, but integrated iso and cso support is so much better. Also Dax support isn’t bad, but can’t you easily switch back and forth between file types with that iso compressor thing?

I had an original 1.5 fw psp since they came out, but when DA’s firmware came out, I upgraded instantly and have never been happier! Keep up the good work mofo!

Thank you.

Really, really…

Thank you.

But don’t say goodbye to dev hook, we’ll need to emu firmware 3.0 when it comes out.

Comment by MaXKiLLz

So if I’m loading .iso’s via USB, I’ll still need devhook to do this, right? Any chance USB support for .iso loading can be incorporated into 2.71 SE-C ?

 
Comment by some1
2006-10-25 01:21:27

so does the iso/cso support, does that mean launching an iso directly from the xmb or with devhook , because it was from the xmb it will be awsome!

dark alex is the savior of the psp homebrew community

praise him or lose the soul of your psp

may he save ta082 and 2.8+ users too. amen.

actually emulating 2.71 SE on 1.5 through devhook has the advantage of being able to run any homebrew in 2.71, emulating normal 2.71 through devhook can only let you run a certain number of homebrews…

Stupid question, I know.. But can I update to 2.71 SE-B if I’ve got a custom gameboot/font/wallpaper/etc flashed? Or should I reflash to version 1.5 and then update?

I’m certain people have been in this position. Any takers? I only ask because I’ve already bricked one PSP (which was updating to harleyg’s and was bricked because of either A. the custom gameboot/font/etc or B. old version of Devhook flashed in the firmware).

yep. never even opened up my UMD door, i’ve had the sampler disc in there since i bought it. and all of a sudden it decided not to work anymore. thought it was the disc, got another game, still didnt work. sony makes some cheap ass overpriced shit, im sure theres tons of people out there with busted UMD drives. i’ve seen so many PSP’s on ebay with bad UMD drives and the systems are pretty much in prestine condition. the drive just decided to give out. i dont even have a scratch on my PSP, never dropped it, and yet the drive just gave out when it’s barely even used.
