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.

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.

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 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…

Comment by comicgeek
2006-12-21 23:31:12

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.

how can we put downloaded psx games on psp

Comment by Pspforever
2006-12-22 02:16:54

First we need people to actually have bought the ps1 games from the store (since regular psx games wont work) and use this custom firmware. Then they run their games and if all goes well without any errors the game will start and a Keys.bin will be generated. Then these psx games will work on any psp with this firmware..in the psp/game folder (The keys.bin isn’t required to play the game)…….. of course this is could be for Non-piracy or piracy it all depends on ur intentions

Comment by Pspforever
2006-12-22 02:25:43

There are bugs regarding plugins.. When enabled, always crash when trying to switch the PSP on.. I had to take the memory stick out to let it run properly. Otherwise, i disable the plugins. But, i hope this bug will be fixed asap! (: 3.02OE-A is just sweet. No need for devhook! Only for now i guess..

 
Comment by Degsy
2006-12-22 07:39:11

Excuse my confusion as I’m finding it hard to understand all the different methods and installs for Devhook & FW X.xx

But is it a requirement to flash updates to the actual flash memory on the PSP?
I have FW1.5 and have always loved that fact 0.46 and below only used the FW competely off the memory stick. If you have a 2GB stick or higher, surely you can afford a little extra space for the FW files instead of offloading them to real flash mem.

Select to install RECOVERY folder to you MS (you will need a MS reader/writer/adapter on you PC, since your PSP can’t boot) then repeat the process on your PSP! ;)

you need the 1.5 firmware .pbp and rename it to updated.pbp and put in recovery forlder. hope this helps..

4. Now, download the 1.5 Update
5. Rename the update from EBOOT.PBP to UPDATE.PBP.
6. Copy it to X:\PSP\GAME\RECOVERY\, there should now be 2 .prx files and 3 .pbp files
7. Turn off and turn back on your PSP, holding the ‘R’ button. Recovery console will come up DO NOT PANIC!
8. Scroll to Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP, and press ‘X’
9. Some purple writing will come up, press ‘X’
10. You now have a 1.5 PSP

Sorry if i’m asking stupid questions, but a few things i cant find a straight answer for-

Can you play psx ISO’s, NOT the ones you download from sony’s service? Can i rip my Castlevanie SOTN and play it on the psp now?

If so, are saves working properly for the psx iso’s?

How soon will another update be released, and will that require a firmware flash as well? I hate to take the chance to upgrade from 1.5 if i’m going to have to risk flashing OE again and again.

Just use installer from psp-haxors you dont have to do nothing just click “X”button and the installer set all include fw1.5 and 3.02 after that you can installe recovery folder too in the same way, when finish to load erase dxar and fw1.5 & 3.02 automatica so you dont need do nothing except erase oeupdater & %oeupdater from ms:/PSP/GAME FOLDER

It works like a dream. ISO loading is working great (although in 2.71SE-C there were a few ISO’s that would not load from XMB, not tested all of them yet on this one..). You can use Recovery mode to enable the WMA and Flash players too!!

Any word on how to get PSX games to run? (and i aint talking about the ones from sony’s site:))

I’m gonna install this using the easy installer. It warns you must have 75% battery charge as it writes to flash, my battery is low but will it be ok if I plug the adaptor in and flash it? I’m guessing it will, but just wanted to make sure…

Dark_AleX you are amazing dude.
I am glad you didn’t leave the scene after all that fake website crap. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was Sony that was behind it, after all they’ve been up to recently.
I’m surprised they haven’t offered you a job!

Without you I would have a 2.6 or higher official FW psp, with no access to all the brilliant emulators and apps that make the psp far greater than it would be if it was only Sony making stuff for it.

To do what you do and give it to the community for free you are a star mate.

Have a brilliant Christmas and New Year!

You truly are one of the Wise Men, bringing gifts to the psp scene.

All the best to you and yours

please somebody reply

Comment by hellfireagg

yes the easy installer from Chaoz let you install only recovery folder if you want but no reason to do that install 3.02oe and after that run installer again and select recovery folder and thats all you got 3.02oeand recovery ready to use

Comment by jippy
2006-12-22 11:47:55

I think his question is this…. With the automagical installer there are 2 options:
1. Install 3.02SE
2. Install the Recovery folder for going back to 1.50.

Can you install the recovery folder to the psp and then install 3.02se? That way the recovery stuff is there if something goes wrong with 3.02 SE. Can they both exist at the same time or can you only have 3.02 OR the Recovery folder?

Not sure if anything in the recovery folder conflicts with what 3.02 se is installing.

Comment by hellfireagg
2006-12-22 13:46:08

no conflicts installing recovery because easy installer and OE dont use it for this maybe you thinking about 150.pbp and 302.pbp but easy installer not use them because already load dxar file and erase it after installation so dont wrry about this

Hi All,

I tried to install this on my psp, but i seem to have bricked it!!

The battery wasn’t charged enough, and i was too impatient to wait for it to charge, so i overrided the 75% battery check. Although i was using the mains adapter.

The update went ok, said it was sucessful, but my psp doesn’t boot now.

When i switch it on, the green led comes on, the backlight lights althoug nothing is shown on screen. The MS access flashes for about a second and then nothing. I have to do a hard reset or remove the battery to switch off.

I have tried to use the RECOVERY, but still nothing on the display – i did notice though the MS access’s more with R held down whilst powering on. – should there be anything on the MS to boot into?

I’ve also tried holding HOME-SELECT-START with the WI-FI on, but that just seems to switch off the psp (sometimes).

Is there anything i can do to un-brick my psp, i’m hoping it’s not fully bricked.

Cheers,

CBROM.

Comment by Dr Fred
2006-12-22 15:39:59

Here’s some info regarding the PSX emulator. This does not in anyway allow you to play PSX Isos. The emulator uses eboots. Originally you had to download the game on a PS3 and transfer it to your PSP the game would only run on one PSP. Now however if the game is run on a PSP with this firmware a file is generated which allows it to be played on any PSP. In theory if the eboot and the keys were somehow “circulated” you could download and play these games free of charge without a PS3. I hope that makes it clearer, however my English is not too good. :(

Format your memory card and put files back in again….
Seems like there is a LOT of space that becomes hidden by the flash….

Just a quicky you’re going to need to know the SCUS of the game if it’s crash it’s 94900 this means place the eboot and keys.bin in psp/game/SCUS94900.

You might have known that already but if not feel free to worship me. :P

Hi. Great work with this new custom firmware. I had a 2.60 firmware and downgraded to 1.50. I wanna know if this new 1.50 firmware can cause trouble if i upgrade to the 3.02 firmware. I have read here: http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about37581.html that I should upgrade to 2.0 and again to 1.5 using the MPH downgrader. Please respond. Is this a must? Or I can go with my actual firmware?

ok i dont know if this will help anyone, but i hope it does…if anyone is having problems after installing 3.02 O-EA whereby it wont boot up, and you have the power off / reboot .prx module, you need to go into recovery mode (turn psp on and hold right shoulder button) and go to plugins menu and disable it….i dont know why it wont work, but i hope this helps a few of you!!!

You can actually re enable the location free player if you want by flashing back the prx for it. If you deleted all the languages you aren’t going to use then you should have enough space. Someone said he’s done it at pspupdates i think.

from 2.6 to 1.5. Can i now go directly to 3.02 OE-A?

Hi there,

i downgraded from 2.6 to 1.5 few months ago. I’ve read that this way of downgrading is not ‘clear’ as it leaves some useless files in the flash memory. Would this be a problem for installing 3.02 OE-A? Or should i upgrade to official 2.71 and downgrade back to 1.5 for then installing 3.02 OE-A? Did anyone try the following: 2.6->1.5->3.02 OE-A?

Thanks!
