Custom Firmware 3.02 OE-A Released
greg | December 21, 2006
No need to wait until Xmas for this one kiddies… Dark_AleX with yet another wig splitting release — custom firmware 3.02 OE-A is now available! Most importantly the PSOne emulation DRM has been hacked! That’s right — play all your legitimately downloaded PSOne games without a problem now. Read “psx_readme.txt” for more information on how to achieve that.
Absolutely everything else you need to know is detailed in the “Readme.txt” — creating the required DXAR update file, flashing, and using both 3.02 OE + recovery menu.
Incase you’re wondering; there are certain limitations from 3.02 OE-A vs. 2.71 SE, here they are:
- No-umd mode seems to be less compatible
- 3.02 kernel homebrew: elf’s are not still supported (no real problem, you can just run them in 1.50 kernel).
- 3.02 kernel homebrew: due to a restriction added in 2.80, kernel prx’s cannot have user syscalls anymore. This is what makes psplink for 2.71 and irshell for 2.71 not to work in 3.02 kernel, althout they can be easily ported by their authors.
- Because of necessity of flash0 space, the location free player and korean font has been removed.
Thanks Dark_AleX, job well done.

Nice thank you dax
THIS IS ALL U HAVE TO SAY??!!!
Thank you Dark_AleX!
Best wishes to you and your family,
have a pleasant Christmas! :’)
well he probably also wanted to say WOOHOOO FIRST COMMENT IS MINE!!!! but then realised it was a bad idea…
I tried this once, when it was released on MaxConsole, and I bricked my psp. It ended up working after I redid everything, I was just going to fast. Be careful people.
umm, if it bricked you wouldnt have had a second chance to get it right…
uh… ever thought of 2.71 se recovery or harley g?
What happened to your psp isn’t a full brick. Thats what I think ‘Whatever’ (Nice name btw) meant.
If it had been a full brick you would have been f’ed your PSP wouldn’t even turn on.
i changed my name…consider it an ‘upgrade’

Thank You. This is great
Perfect :D
so this is only a mod of 2.7se and not a 2.8+ homebrew
did i read this right????!!! is this what we’ve all been waiting for??!!!!!!!! HOLLY SHITBALLZ!!!!
LMAO AHAAAAAAAA Bloodpool i love you lmao nice comment but yea this firmware works well and its a pretty simple install awesome job Dark Keep it up
DUDE THIS IS AWESOME!!!! im about to try it out ^_^.
Hmmm i wonder if theyll ever be able to put the location free player in again
do we still require the PS3 to play the PS1 games on our PSP?
OMFG!!!!!!!!! DARK ALEXX PWNZ… WOW!!!! OMFGGGG/ AAH. I WORSHIP U MAN. WOW
Sweet! Another reason why Sony should just give up.
this is not a 2.8X downgrader or anything of the sort right..
no you greedy whore lol. but thats coming REALLY soon ^_^. so just be happy that its in the works.
no, its custom firmware for non-TA-082 users
Is this coming To PSP for the ta-082 for HenD emulated??
I like the the PS1 suport!
HOLY SHITZZZZ DPOPS A LOAD IN PANTS OMG I WANT YOURE BABIES NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!11
buh buh buh i cant read any other language than korean ahhhhhhhhh im gonna die!!! nooooo and i need that location free player soooooo badly
Erh… So how does this work again? :/ I didn’t quite get what it means with the whole hacked psx thing but I’ll download and follow up in the readme…
hmm, just read it. Very interesting work. Great Job too. This will definitely spare us the trouble of having to buy a PS3 (with a little work-around). Good Job man 4 realz.
this is awsome and works great
Custom 3.02 that was bloody quick! Does this have built in devhook like 2.71SE if not can it run dh from xbm? I want no-umd compatability :P
PEOPLE!!! this is like SE-C but instead of 2.71…it is 3.02!!!! which means….as i’ve said before….SHITBALLZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh…i got 3.00, can i update to this still?
nop this only works on 1.5 fw same as 2.71se
OMG! This is prolly one of the greatest acheivments in PSP history :) j/k, but it’s a good one! I think sony should jus hire the hackers on their team! they can’t win!
does that work on ta082 system. please answer anybody,
No man, it wont work, only 1.5 (start from there then upgrade to this) or 2.71SEC
I also meant for non-ta-082 only too.
Dear mattius: on behalf of most of the guys here at psp-hacks.com/forums regret to inform you that you are screwed!!!! sorry man you would have to downgrade from 3.00 but unfortunately that process doesn’t exist yet.
our deepest regards: — THE FORUM GUYS—
lol!
dear sheng: nah dude!!! this wont work on ta082 yet!
I tried to enter the System Settings Menu but I gut the wierd blue screen with different languages error.
I tried to play ISOs, and Homebrew placed in the GAME150 folder and it get stuck in sony gameboot screen..
Any ideas guys…
Got to make it work…. by tricking it.
I entered the recovery mode and selected the Run PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP
When it could not find the UPDATE.PBP file it will restart and will remove previous settings and allow you to reenter.
Now it works perfectly.
is there a way to use this with the current devhook from 1.5 cuz i really want to use this but stay on 1.5 u no lol but still dark alex ur AWESOME man thanks for this now i can play all these psx games on psp
Why the hell would anyone want to stay at 1.50? Install OE-A and welcome to the future. Its bliss.
if you upgrade you dont need deve hook
