greg | December 24, 2006
It sure feels like Christmas with all the amazing accomplishments happening. And here is yet another… Team C+D have successfully decrypted firmware 3.03! Uh huh… The fine folks who granted us with the 2.80 kernel mode exploit have proven themselves again.

Yes!!! hahaha its christmas an this is an even better christmas
Oh an the tune kicks ass!!
Thanks!
Happy Holidays people! *
This rox! I just cant wait for OE-B and bein able to play most PS1 games with it.
CHAK DE PHUTAY!
ehm why do ppl decrypt fw 3.03 when it is just a security update??
Cause the new downloadable PS1 for PSP games requires 3.03
is there a hombrew available for guys like me who up-dated to 2.71 b4 even ever knowing about homebrew and what it lets you do? and can i downgrade from FW2.71 to 1.0 or 1.5 somehow? please help me dude . kanjineck@hotmail.com
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/754
yeah now i can finally play medivel (when 3.03se comes out)
I cant even figure out how to change instruments with the psp rythm
ROFL JASWINDER
i think iikno wut that means..
OOO CHUK DE PATEHHHHH
man i heard it all the time in indian songs..
CHUK DE CHUK DE CHUCK DE, CHUK DE SAREGHAM
Amazing, great job Team C+D.
dat means bring it on or put ur hands up like u just dun care
i cant explain it better
oohh nice work guys
okay, LOL people have no idea what the hell they are saying, cause first off fw 3.03 has nothing to do with being able ps1 games, cause that shit is already out since 3.00. and no until someone like DA finds a way to be able to trick the fw into thinking that psx isos are the same format as the game dl’d from the PS3 store, having the FW is completely USELESS to us. Not to sound like im bad talking the magic making programmers bringing us DEVHOOK and custom FW se’s, but considering the instability i am experiencing with 3.02 right now i think ima drop back down to my old school 2.71 and just stick with that. Its a shame that emulator prgression is not moving as fast as the FW’s are being cracked… it would be nice if we could have an all in one devhook or se that can handle all emulators and all the games. knowing that the FW SE still has certain games that can not be played correectly on it and none of the classic nes or snes emulators being converted over to a 2.00+ compatability status to operate in a emulated FW devhook enviorment. At this point im just going to quite up a little seeing how i have no idea how to do anything i just suggested. Would just be nice to have things a little more organized… maybe a combination of DEVHOOK and FW SE to have all options someone could want in one place. 1.50 emulator usage and full psp game iso compatability.
Dude shut the fuck up, this is a wonderful step forward in the homebrew scene, and if you can’t appreciate what these people are trying to do for us, then just upgrade your PSP once and for all and be another face for Sony to shit on, otherwise shut up. You guys are geniouses by the way, Fantastic work!
Dude, your a MORON. YES 3.03 Has been confirmed to be NEEDED to play the new PS1 for PSP games. It does check that you have the firmware 3.03 to boot them. So go back to your 2.71 and STFU. You know this lets ppl in on how to get into the Decryption of 3.03. So go smoke another fatty and stick with your 2.71..
Wow…you are truely retarded. The psx eboots such as medieval require 3.03. So therefore this does have something to do with being able to play Ps1 games. The new custom firmware runs all my homebrew fine…it sounds like your just to retarded to get it to work.
3.03 increased the limit on the games you can download, it was previously limited to 5 games for each MAC address (5 per psp unit essentually)
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ASKING UHHHHHH Does this work on 2.8 or 2.7, yes and if it didn’t you can always downgrade unless you have a TA-1763 Motherboard
uhh, im pretty sure nobody asked that question you fucking moron.
and it’s TA-082..
do you even know what a psp is? cause you’re talking like a fuckin retard.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SONY JUST GOT SERVED AGAIN!!!!!!! oh man sony we love u for making the psp why not just give up and let us use it the way we want?
(someplace far away sony weeps)
can this mean that it is possible to do a 3.03 OE B?!?! DAX put in on 3.03OE B!!! :) you rule! merry x mas to you guys!
can someone please explain exaclty what this does…. And is this good for me, i currently have a 3.02 but not planning on getting a ps3 and the ps1 deal, im more into the whole “lets pimp my psp with fonts and games and other ultilities” ordeal. Should i do this?
So, are u currently having the official 3.02 or 3.02 OE-A by Dark_AleX? If you still have faith in firmware 3.xx to be downgradable, den i think you should just stop at 3.02. Don’t upgrade anymore. Now 2.80 can be downgraded, you’ll never know what the future lies in 3.xx!
When is sony going to give up? They are just wasting their time and money. give in to the people.
If they do, the psp scene will die.
o ur so getting sued for saying merry christmas
do i look cristian to u?
lol jk
MERRY XMAS ONE AND ALL!!!
FOOK SONY!!!!!
so, what does this mean for stupid newbs like me who have upgraded their firmware to 3.03 before finding this page? that a downgrade is possible in the near future?
i wouldnt say so NEAR, but its possible
it just needs a kernal exploit to be found, which isnt always easy
@fishmeat:
I’m in the same boat.
To install the hypothetical 3.03 OE-A from 3.03, would that require downgrading to 1.5 first…or are side-grades possible?
i feel sorry for sony, just stop wasting your time making new firmware ALL OF EM ARE GOING TO BECOME HACKABLE
still now 3.0 downgrader , smh
HAHAHA sony u just got but raped!!!!! just face it… you are and will never be smarter than the hoMebrew community!!! GREAT WORK!!! MERRY XMAS
**BUTT (LOL) &-}
Fuck Sony they can all go to HELL!!!!!!!!!
Respect to Dark-Alex and the rest of the community you guys kick ass
Hopefully soon you guys will release a downgrader to 3.0 I aint stupid enough to go past that
Did i mention FUCK SONY!!!!!!!
your such a dumb ass, what would have done Dark_Alex(no disrespect) without Sony. THINK!!!
Yeah his right
Geeze, sony is not going to get it right untill they code their prx’s in a language they invented themselves. Viva la homebrew.
hi,can anyone tell me how to install this?
(i don’t know much about PSP)
Who’s laughing now sony
I just got my PSP for christmas, and upgraded it to 3.0.3. Big mistake, I guess. Will the 3.0.3FW on this page help me downgrading/running homebrew/whatever? If so, how do I install it? When I drop it onto my memory stick duo, the PSP claims it is “corrupted data”. Thanks for any help.
does this help in the process of downgrading 3.03?
this does not help in the downgrade process, nor is it possible to currently downgrade a 3.03 FW PSP
it is also IMPOSSIBLE at the moment to run homebrew on this firmware
this program allows people to create custom firmwares with 3.03 features, and allows devhook to emulate this firmware on 1.50 PSPs
ohh ok… sigh… they just released a 2.80 downgrader but i’m using 2.81 darn it.. oh well i can wait.. i’m sure the hackers are doing their best ^^
Thanks for the clarification, Shaddowknight.
First I would like to wish you all a merry christmas. Second, I would like to say thanks to sony for making a great portable console (and it’s hackable too) and also give thanks to the great psp scene. Keep up the good work, and I am hoping for a new custom firmware with 3.03 kernel soon, and maybe a better no-umd compatibility :). Merry XMAS!
WOOHHOO!!! Nice Work! Keep it Up!!!
I love the PSP community! By the way: Nice Music ;)
can you return to fw 1.50 after installing 3.02 OE-A?
Yes you can, use the Chaos Zero Installer and select the Recovery option back to 1.5, and you be on your way. I did it myself and it worked. So to say :Confirmed!:
2.71 to 1.50? yes you can downgrade 2.71 fw. Just go to PSP Hacks on this website and find ” how to downgrade 2.71…etc.
So I guess this means that for those of us with 2.81 its still not downgradable..or am i wrong?
well eventually someone somewhere will discover an exploit for 2.81… eventually… =/
has anyone tried this on the new devhook
hey i just want to know since this decryptor is out is there any hope for me to paly homebrew i have a v2.81 psp and i really wanna jump in on the scene
to use this do just copy the 2 files into PSP/GAME?
by the way u guys should come out with a simpple program to extract .rar files becuz i cant find a free one.
To guys saying FUCK SONY.
Fuck yourself. Without SONY there wouldn’t be PSP & firmware updates with something great like PSP emulation in 3.0.
They could have stopped on FW 1.0 & all af you would only suck yer nuts.
Long live SONY. Long live DA, CZ & n00bz. Long live 3.02OE-B. Amen.
P.S.Isn’t is fun to have some conquest?
P.P.S. Happy New Year.
I guess I’ll wait until our great, great programmers start hacking 3.03fw to allow homebrew (I had 2 upgrade because of a Killzone Liberation but I still believe in homebrew)
Oh, and btw, what happened to all of the headlines about people like Fanjita and Ditlew?
Anyway, viva la PSP and viva la homebrew!
i just can’t understand why sony trys so hard to stop homebrew on psp, and yet lets ps3 be open-source
What options are there for 2.71 with the TA-082 motherboard to be able to run homebrew and ripped psp games???
no can someone just get a downgrader out faster then the 2.8 one (its still not ou yet)
Because 2.80 is locked down, just use the downgrader already out there.
Im just wonderin where I can download that sweet as jingle, send me a link anyone. You can send me a message on the forum.
How do i install this thing
I have fw 1.5 using devhook .51 emulating 3.01
Is their instructions on how to change to this fw?
why cant i run this program i got firmware 3.02 and if i start the psar dumper i get “cant start this game(8002014c) whats up with that ?
sorry i type it wrong i got 3.03:P
raymond, you get that error because you are running 3.03 you cant run the dumper under that version.
the dumper is to emulate 3.03
I have been away on vacations and wow i come back and I need to re acclimate myself with the many updates.
is it possible 2 downgrade 3.03?
Eddie, No it is not possible to downgrade 3.03 yet. You can only emulate 3.03 if you have a version of firmware 2.81 or earlier that has been downgraded.
can i downgrade my psp from 3.03 to 1.50 send me something at my e-mail zaku413@aol.com
Errr Why Doesnt Any1 Answer The Question WHAT HAPPENS IF IT SAYS CANNOT START GAME?!?!”?!?!??!?!
what this file do?where put the files after unrar?
