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’
Hi,
I was just wondering if this works on the UK PSP’s since the 3.02 upgrade thing says (US) on it
I’ll be greatful for any (if) ALL help!
CAN ANYONE HELP…I RAN OEUPDMAKER, I INCLUDED THE 1.5 AND 3.02 UPDATE EBOOTS IN THE OEUPDMAKER FOLDER..RAN THE PROGRAM, AND I GET THE MESSAGE “CANT OPEN 150.PBP…” THEN THE PSP REBOOTS ITSELF…ALL I END UP WITH IS AN EMPTY DXAR FILE THAT WONT WORK WITH OEFLASHER…CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG…THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A PROB RUNNING ANY KIND OF APP BEFORE…SO IF I’M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS…I WILL HAVE NO PROB CORRECTING THE INSTALL…THANKS.

Hi,
I was just wondering if this works on the UK PSP’s since the 3.02 upgrade thing says (US) on it
I’ll be greatful for any (if) ALL help!
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

no
tell me every thing i need
i have the 3.02 file oe-a and when i open with rar it gives a header corrupt for some files
from wat i read on the readme….it seems that you have to get a game from sony(…or one that you have already ”purchased”..get it???) and put it in the game folder …..and after that check if it works……..it seems that you can get a whole bunch of errors….havent tried it myself yet……i have to go and ”buy” a game first. ……laterzzz….
p.s.: read the README carefully…..
umm you are using winrar or another unrarer program right
i have a game nfs underground rivals
ok i guess no one knows how to run the ps1 games on the psp cuz i downloaded a few but i dont know wat to do with them since the reedme just talks about ps3 so Please if u can help i wanna play ff7 lol
i waz using winrar
Guys, while “uhh” gets the video up on YouTube, you should get the files, extract them, and start reading the Readme so you can at least have an idea of what’s ur gonna do
these r da errorz
! oeupdmaker%: The file “oeupdmaker%” header is corrupt
! oeupdmaker: The file “oeupdmaker” header is corrupt
! flasher for recovery\RECOVERY: The file “flasher for recovery\RECOVERY” header is corrupt
! flasher for recovery: The file “flasher for recovery” header is corrupt
! 302oeflasher%: The file “302oeflasher%” header is corrupt
! 302oeflasher: The file “302oeflasher” header is corrupt
update to the latest winrar….that fixes it
r these error normal
Ultranoob if you have trouble downloading files and distinguishing if they are downloaded correctly, you shouldnt attempt to mod your psp.
umm well im not sure what ur doing wrong with extracting
o ok, nvm
k
Has anybody gotten the PS1 games to workd?
Can you play them?
I mean, without a ps3 of course, psx, backups

you said it worked fyou so if youhve cmand a usb just send him your dxar or if you dont you could just put ur mem card in his and do it
sorry for my typing my friends keyboard suckes
use easy installer by chaos
hold up peeps when I did this with mine every thing worked first time but i’ve just done this with my bros and the first I tried with his I got a empty dxar the second time it it made 17,936KB one but as soon as his psp tried opening it for the install it BRICKED!!! guess that will have to go on faulty at work then tomorrow but still carefull chaps if your getting empty dxar
ooch man… feel bad for u. u should have upgraded u 1.5 to 2.71se so if it bricks… ur safe.
but 1.5 is for noobzorz… so u pay the consequence.
yet i do feel really sorry for u and ur bro
Any chance usb supprted soon?? to play iso from hard drive??
im sure irshell or certain homebrew can do that
does html wk im comments b/c if it does ill just pos that vid here(73% uploaded)
I have 1.5; would I still be able to run ISO’s through USB if I upgrade to this?
yea you should google the prgm for it unless you alreahave the prgm then upgrade!
whoever is having the problem with the data.dxar and it being 0kb make sure your firmware eboots are named 150 and 302 i renamed mine to 320 instead of 302 and it gave me the dxar file that was empty and…my saved games still dont work it says its curupted

sorry thought you may have downgrded before upgradeing well you could try updateing to ans of the se’sfirst other than that idk
But my psp 1.50 down what?
i not sure why it wont work but maybe try upgradeing to se first
Has anyone actually got any of the PSONE games from PS3 store working on 302 OA-E yet?
how can we put downloaded psx games on psp
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
looks like i made a mistake u need all the contents from the psp/game/”psx game” folder including the keys.bin…….the license files are the ones u dont need
wer do i put 150 and 302 pbp files? heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
I don’t find those files [150 & 302]
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
u put them in the oeupdmaker folder
this is strange it seems that if you enable plugins it just crash when turning on
ok i did the oeupdmaker thing but wat do i do now where do i put the file that it made in order to use the 3.02oeflasher help please
u put the data.dxar u created into the 3.02oeflasher…then just run the flasher and their u go
just upgraded and look good but just a few compatability issues just need dev hook and ir shell working
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1592095930

Thx dark alex u are the shitballz
DOES THIS WORK ON NORMAL 2.71FW, AND HOW WILL I INSTALL IT ON 2.71FW
PLEASE HELP I REALLY WANT TO HAVE CUSTOM FIRMWARE!!!!!!
it onlys works on 1.5 and 2.71 SE firmwares at the moment…downgrade to 1.5 and then install 3.02 OE
is it completely safe downgrading to 1.5 and will i still b able to play every iso on custom fw
does this work on version 2.80????? and does this allow you to use ir shell???
so it dosent work on 2.80?
Well I upgraded from 2.71sec with no problems working awsome. I think if there are any bricks I would suspect user error. Thanks again Dark Alex yet another mind blowing release.. Simply amazing..
BTW to those it may concern blitz overdrive seems to be working.
does it work on 2.80????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No.
yes it do
no it dont dude, but there’s a 2.8x exploit out,expect a downgrader soon or after new years.
Yahoo!!! Dark_Alex is guru of psp development.
It’s amazing! Thank you VERY VERY much from all russian users 8)
Great, awesome work!
c’on just tel me does it work on 2.80?
Yep go ahead an try it out
lol thats what they get for not reading the f***** psts
yea but does it work?? without brikin ma psp
and will it play IR shell?
I’m a Korean that just bought a location free player…thanks a lot DAX, for nothing.
It’ll probably brick your 2.80 if you try it man.
don’t try it the-psp-man, it won’t work for you
Well, i was wondering…
Would this work for a TA-082 2.71? I dont think right now, but i just wanted to confirm…
Nice I got it to work on my 2.71 SE-C! Pretty simple to do, really…just read the instuctions and get the 1.5 and 3.02 updates (which could be found here).
Thanks, DARK_ALEX! Your shit totally rocks!
I´ve got a 1.5 PSP with the 32 Mem-stick that came with the PSP. I’m kind of eager to try this out… can I upgrade to this custom FW with this stick or should I wait till I get my 4 GB mem-stick next week?
Mozez, you should wait for your 4 GB stick to come in first.
Alright, I´ll do that, thanx! :)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Mozex 4gb mem-stick wont work on 1.5 system
I will wait until a downgrader comes out, just incase I change my mind and wan’t to go back.
Dark Alex you are Santa Claus with presents for childs gg… :)
so this has nothing to do with 2.8 users !!!!!!!!!
hum bug lol
can i reflash 2.71 sec after updating to this??
Is there any place to download roms for 3.02fw psone emulator 8)
I think we need PSX games in Elf(.pbp) format. I hope that someone will make an app to convert .iso’s to .pbp’s
For all the people having DXAR problems, with possible bricking, PLEASE
(hey it cut my message short) check the Hashes in the text file
LOT A THANKS DARK A!!!! At first i have second thought on updating to this firmware I was Scared to lose my one and only psp BUT FU*K all of us must upgrade somehow coz of games being develop at high ver. GOOD THING IT WORK!!!!! WAY BETTER than 1.5 sure worth the Risk GREAT JOB DARK ALEX love u man dont ever stop…. and to SONY you SON’S OF BI***ES YOU never learn no matter how big you are like microsoft WE WILL KEEP HACKING YOU !!! so keep patching lolz till we tear you down!!! (decades of patching and updates for what? now vista?!)
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..
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.
This is great…I didn’t want to get a PS3 and now I don’t have to! Thanks.
Flippin’ Sweet! This makes me almost as excited as my Tracy Adams videos from the mid nineties (OK, she was a bit portly towards the end of her career but man..those knockers!)
Phew I need a cold shower
Cheers
Kenny
Does anyone know where to find the complete list of PSOne titles available for playing on PSP (official sony list)?
so you just wanted to buy a PS3 only because of the ps1 emulation-feature? LOL! DOES THIS HAVE NO-UMD FUNCTION????
i jus bricked my psp usin 3.02oe and when i go 2 recovery mode and try to go back to 1.5 it says update.pbp not found, does any no how to get over this problem, please can anyone email me on top_boi_@hotmail.co.uk
Just download:
http://www.psp-haxors.com/wp-content/uploads/OE-A/302_BASIC_Installer_SE.exe
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! ;)
Regards
so should you install the recovery part of the setup after 3.02se, just in case?
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
mother mary how long does the extracting and paking of the 3.02 firmware take! Merry christmas to all except anyone who is a cu*t.
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.
if its not much of a problem can u guys fix the universal remote to work on this version thanks
Can u still be able to dwongrade back to 1.5??
can this run isos plz say yes
can u still play psp game iso’s if not im not doing it
HELP!! cant play my save files on Jeanne D’Arc game…after the update…is there a way to revive my save file. previously using 2.71 seb
here is a video of 3.02 OE-A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPlZ9HMVBIA
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
thank you 4 the help, i got my psp working again n once again thanks
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
i have a 1.5 psp and i wanted to know that can i install the recovery menu on my psp before i install 3.02 oe-a
thanks
cool
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:))
@turd
well im sorry but u cant get regular psx games as the ones from sony r basically just “ports” and not the actual game.
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…
you can over ride this by holding L1 and trianlge when loading the flasher. At your own risk tho:)
Think I’ll wait for it to charge…. lol
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
Love E
Anyway to boot in dh… i am a scaredy pants when it comes to flashing
I second that! :) Have a great Christmas Dark_AleX and Chaos Zero… and everyone who has contributed the psp scene in any shape or form, thank you
ok about the hole psp 1 thing if any 1 finds away how 2 get this working or were to get the games from at least beacause i think thats gna be the biggest probllem getting the games up running and working :S i just dont c how it will work without the license maby some sort of hack or exstracting the emulater and making it so u dont need any licences ext well if any 1 could get intouch and tell me more would be varry apritiated braknellbill@hotmail.co.uk :) thanks
can i install the recovery menu before i install 3.02oe-a so that if something goes wrong i won’t have a bricked psp and i will have recovery menu to correct what i did wrong
please somebody reply
thanks
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
ermmm no coz the recovery comes with it come on man stop wid the fu’ing nub questions there is a read me wich tells u all
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.
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
yes that is what i meant
thanks ‘jippy’ but can someone answer this question
thanks
great 1 there is a read me just get on with it u folo it rite u will be fine if not then pfff ure fault lol

Hi guys,
I have se-c and devhook 51 (flashed)… do i need to ‘unflash’ devhook before I install this?? or does it wipe flash???
thanks for your help!
DA – Thankyou so much!!! legend!
You dont need to unflash. i installed it without unflashing
Thanks Rag.
All worked without ‘unflashing’ just fine.
Too well, it saved all my settings from se-c and hardly noticed it changed! superb stuff, thanks DA and CZ!
OMG OMG OMG THIS IS GREAT, DARK ALEX UR THE BEST!
umm can I get a full explaination to this cuz I’m still at 1.5 w/dh .46 …thats all
USE CHAOS ZERO’S INSTALLER. ITS THE EASIEST I’VE EVER SEEN. ITS IN THE FORUM
IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY
Hey i installed it easy throught Chaos Zero easy installer (thx CZ luv u :D )
but is it right that the no umd function doesnt work
cuz my umd drive is broken and i really need it !!!
Ho Ho Ho Santa, thanks. A 3.0(number) custom firmware was on my xmas list alongside GTA:Vice City Stories and a downgraded white psp (I now have two of those things)
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.
Man i dont know what to say just hoping you re not brick your psp, everyone whos no sure what re doing must wait easy installers or noob packages to prevent bricks and semi-bricks one day maybe you re not so lucky and brick your psp
ok so the easy installer has everything I need? and will it fit in a 1GB Stick?
yea actually around 30 megas from 3.02oe & recovery folder
WOOHOO!!! THANKS psp-hacks.com and Dark_AleX
You guys Rocks!
ragnaphobia.com support you guys to the core!

To everyone asking if it will work on 2.8+ (or on TA-82), STOP ASKING! It will not work (yet), because you’d need to be able to downgrade.
about Downgradeing, hows it done? no I do not have an 082 Mobo
I Have successfully installed everything and im having a few issues. pertaining to PSX emulation.
No where does it explain how to play ripped PSX .iso’s if any one knows how it works please reply to this. Also should there be some sort of blaintant PSX-EMULATOR icon? or is devhook supposed to do the emulation?
-TKG
Oh, wow, DAX, thx so much, thought you were gone but now this!! I can’t believe it! This is a full release and not just a beta?
u cant play PSX ISOS, u have to get the [PSX][PSP] ISO, u can find the in emule.
anyone whith 3.02 OE can use cwcheat to overclock the psp ??
i tried to install the 2.71 SE-B” cwcheat and the flasher doesnt works =/
should i use this or wait for a downgrader for 2.8?
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. :(

could someone please send me some PSone eboots? – paulleeming@hotmail.com
Hi Great stuff :D New to the whole custom firmware thing. Got it going but how do yo get it back to 1.5?
Has anyone got any of the ps1 games working this? and does anyone know where i can download them from without a ps3?

cwcheat isnt working too, same problem that’s max said, i try to use the instaler, get black screen and i’m send back to xmb =o~~
….to you all who think they bricked their psp…
Try removing your memory stick before you boot….
ok….I found a solution….
Format your memory card and put files back in again….
Seems like there is a LOT of space that becomes hidden by the flash….
After successfully updating to 3.02 OE A, I accidently deleted my DATA.DXAR file. I cant launch any applications, iso, or the app to create a new DATA.DXAR. I recieve an error message. Anyone have any ideas?
I’d like to see a PSPset for this anytime soon. I want to change my PSP’s font, gameboot, and coldboot! :-)
what is all this recovery menu stuff about?when they make a downgrader for 2.8 i probably wont do this because i dont even know what half of the words on this page mean and also what is pxar dxar and all that stuff.although i am a 2.8 user se-c seemed a little less complicated to install when i read about it.(good thing im not a ta-082 )
Ps1 games work fine just downloaded one to test it, bring on final fantasy 7 please!
can you host that game please bcos i dnt get how to get them on could some one please demonstrate

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 upgraded as it was, and it worked, thanks.
Hi updraded to 3.02 oea working a dream thanks guys, I also installed the recovery from the ultimate installer in the game menu now is a corrupt icon for the recovery can I delete this file now or should I keep it on the memory stick also which folders/Dir can I delete now from the installation. thanks
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!!!
merry christmas!
Good Job Dax!! Works perfectly! enjoying those ps1 titles ATM!
I been waiting for this!!!!! 3.03 soon it will be your time
psp1 games… metal gear, resident evil, final fantasy…….. Just like yesterday sniff sniff

plz tell me if u could go back to 1.50 after installing 3.02 O-EA plz tell me
yup iv donw it tones ov times n iv got a perfect lil psp thats never bricked lmao!!!
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!
ive done exacyly that and it worked for me…
dis is the uber sexy…lol first tiem i tried a custom firmware..all my psp career ive used devhook xD thx alex

This owns!! No auto-load UMD, built in devhook, wallpapers… Bye bye 1.5. OMG my friend got a 2.7 game for Christmas & updated his 1.5 then phoned me up all sad just after I updated mine to 3.02OE-A. Owned.
hey i have a question:
i would like to know if i can delete the oeupdmaker and the 302 oeflasher and keep the recovery one from my memory stick?
I got a small question. This is my first time using a custom firmware (sticked to DH). Where do i put the ISOs for PSP games? I saw that the emulation is native but i cannot find how to run them. sorry to bother and thanks.
Anyone tried this on a version 1.5 White Japanese PSP? Thanks!
Are CSO’s compatible with this firmwre?
hmm, i had a 1.50 FW psp, but upgraded to 3.03 so i could plan the locco rocco demo. it was Ok, but now I want to go back to 1.5 so I can try this out. any help would be appreciated.
