Custom Firmware 3.10 Open Edition (Rev. A) Released!

greg | February 4, 2007

Certainly not a lazy Sunday for Dark_AleX as he chalks up yet another record release on the board — Dark_AleX 10, Sony 2.

3.10 OE-A may only be installed as a full installation; same steps follow as the previous custom firmwares…

Instructions are as always, oeupdmaker to create the dxar from 150.PBP and 310.PBP, and 310oeflasher
to install the firmware from the dxar previously generated.

Although, it is obvious, i’ll say it in capital letters: DO NOT USE ANY DXAR FROM 3.03 OE, USE THE ONE
GENERATED WITH THE INCLUDED OEUPDMAKER AND SONY 1.50 AND 3.10 FIRMWARES UPDATES.

This means download both the 1.50 and 3.10 firmware updates below, rename them to 150.PBP and 310.PBP respectively, and copy both to the “oeupdmaker” directory on your memory stick. Run (from a 1.50 kernel) and you’ll have generated a new 3.10 OE-A DXAR file.

Copy the DXAR file to “310oeflasher” and launch it — follow the remaining instructions on your screen.

Checksums of the generated dxar:

CRC32: 58D45EDF
MD5: BF1862F73FDF4B7458279ACFF4F6DAA2
SHA1: 683AD0ABA48A7968F3172A5AB2E41CF95A476801
SHA256: 2107EC67CE7434E250FF71AF302430B
3586AA4519F3405D43594414B3C940B74

3.10 OE-A changes:

  • Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10
  • 4th level of brightness (aka battery eater) can now be selected also without ac adaptor.
  • Changes in hen core:
    - Static user elf’s can now be executed in the 3.10 kernel. (this includes snes user version between other programs)
    - Tyranid’s patch (added in 3.03 OE-C) consequences was not explained very well in the changelog of 3.03 OE-C:
    • For programmers: it allows kernel modules to have user imports, making kernel programming in 3.03/3.10 less strict.
    • For users: plugins and applications that worked in 2.71 SE, but not in OE, *may* now work in 3.03OE-C and 3.10 OE-A.

Note 1: the installer will disable all plugins to avoid incompatibilities when booting. You can enable them again in the recovery menu.

Note 2: the plugin to load 3.02 pops won’t work anymore in 3.10 OE, due to some changes in pops modules structure (meaudio fused with popsman, idcanager/idmanager behaviour slightly changed). A new plugin for 3.10 could be written next week.

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK

  7. Ichigo says:

    AWESOME, DARK ALEX U ARE THE BEST!!!

  8. ScOoTeRdOoP says:

    wow wow wow wow

  9. Miket says:

    Great WORK love u
    what about GTA ? can u make it happand ?

  10. th says:

    darn the more firmware comin up
    the more custom firmware we seen :d

  11. atcram says:

    huh are we going too fast here…i bet not even one game has been released with 3.10…anyways thanks for the update i´m wondering if the psx emulator is working better now?

  12. shootbird says:

    WHAO…. SWEET dark alex! u RULES man

  13. paco says:

    …i like how NONE of you said a dam thing about the new release all i see is “wow wee im first” and bullshit like that, i thought they promised to start banning fools who write that crap on the forums now, anyway seeing how small the changelog is and the fact that its in english that only wicked sick people like DA would understand the definition of, just like moving from 3.03b to 3.03c id be so willing to do it, w/o a second thought except for just one… NO compatable x-flash yet??? means no customization.

    • ßyron™ says:

      yes I AM glad i have 2 PSP, i LOVE xflash in 2.71 but i like to make my ps1 games playable in 3.03OE-C

    • gw says:

      you can flash in DAXs recovery mode via usb (no need for X-flash). I’ve already got a custom font and gameboot. the only real problem is the topmenuplugin.rco from Custom xmbIcon Packager bricks it so you gotta use the original or back it up.

      • nerdypaul89 says:

        yeah, i found that out too…
        hopefully somebody can come up with something to correct this error

        still, 3.1 oe rocks!

    • paco says:

      has anyone been able to get the x-flash to work properly in terms of changing menu text? if you can and know how please let me know i want some text changed and in return ill make you a non bricking custom icon top menu… please let me know, if your registed in the forums im under paco there to just pm me

      • gw says:

        i cant get any customization of topmenuplugin.rco to work without bricking. i even tried hex-editing it and nothing works. but then again my hex skills suck. i dont see it being too long before someone figures it out and makes an update for xmbIcon Packager.

      • benjio says:

        yea you dont need xflash at all with alexs firmwares. boot up in recovery mode, click advanced, flash0, and edit it there. you comp will detect it just like it does your ms. that makes editing MUCH easier and you can back everything up on you hd without a seperate flash dumper. piece of cake. that way if you fu** somethin up you can go back to the folder you backed your flash up in and copy everything back and everything goes back to the way it was.

    • BrokenWorm says:

      u mean NO custom firmware for you ..

      why not overwrite the prx files your self ???
      i do that ..

    • J-Daddy says:

      It is customizable, get Flash Agent D, dumbass

  14. HELP says:

    CAN I UPDATE FROM 3.03OE-C CAUSE I DON’T WANNA BRICK MY PSP AGAIN!

  15. commonlegacy says:

    already updated from 3.03 oe-c ;)
    @HELP yes its safe to do it from 3.03 oe-c

  16. stealth says:

    that’s what i’m talking about! Excellent work Dark Alex!!!

  17. commandoboy says:

    umm sry to be a burden but when i click internet browser the blue screen of death pops up but then i restart and its fine

    note: only happens when i click iternet browser

  18. #Mauro says:

    Could someone tell me why DAX made this???

    Just to keep up with sony??

    I don’t really get the point,since we can still do everything with 3.03 OE-C.

  19. Amorrn says:

    Excellent work DAX. I was anticipating a release this weekend and you do not disappoint.

    If I’m not mistaken, it seems that there are new settings in the PSX emu such as a fourth control setting using the analog nub. This was definitely worth the update.

  20. SmokeThis2007 says:

    YES!!!

  21. arman says:

    installed it no probs went back to 1.50 with recovery no problem either unfortunatley none of the custom flashers will work with it so your stuck with sony graphics just now .nice work once again DAX

  22. piewackete says:

    lol awesome im not too sure how to install this but once i read up on it i will (man i was happy when i had 3.03 OE-C cuz i was like top of the line not anymore :D)

  23. HELP says:

    i have used the noobz 3.03 downgrader which still has the remaintints of 3.03 so i am too sure to update to 3.10OE-A

  24. CarlJ2046 says:

    @paco

    You are a fucking nerd. You are even never the first!

  25. Chernobyl says:

    Thanks for this, but when i click the new Playstation Spot icon under NETWORK i get a BSOD :S

  26. ForevaLost says:

    I did noobz 3.03 downgrader also with the remnants of sony’s3.03….. Does anyone know if I update to 3.10OE-A if it will brick my psp

    • Matt says:

      yes its ok to update, I too used the 3.03 dowgrader, which leaves remnants of 3.03 in the flash, i just ook the rish and updated to 3.10 OE-A. It was fine, i am now currently surfin happily across the net finding the best homebrew available for my brand spanking new 3.10 OE-A PSP!!!

  27. Silent Hill says:

    This is taking extremely long to extract

  28. shady545 says:

    this app has been in the forums since yesterday!

  29. Silent Hill says:

    yup its still going. it has been going for the last 27 minuets

  30. shady545 says:

  31. frank says:

    OH MY GOD!!!!!!! DA RULEZ

  32. Leon says:

    hi, what firmware do u need to get this???????

  33. ian says:

    so is this release finally got the umd movie region free thing working? or is it just yet another half assed release?

  34. WITCHKING says:

    Nice dude. very nice :) So is there any real reason to upgrade from 3.03 oe-c other than the internet browser? Like a better psx emulator??

  35. Silent Hill says:

    yes. the psx emulator is better. u get more options on the home menu. like switch controllers

  36. Tek says:

    How can i find my generated dxar Checksum that match this

  37. MickMog says:

    WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, same as a few above there……
    i have 3 psp’s in all so i can update to check em out an still have me fave to resort to ;-)

  38. Silent Hill says:

    more support for games is expanded. so i wonder if resident evil 2 works now instead of freezing when i get to the police station

  39. Tensai Ninja says:

    Just my luck- my PSP battery is @ 66% and charging… just enough time to pop to the shop for a beer :D

  40. Tensai Ninja says:

    Just my luck- my PSP battery is @ 66% and charging… just enough time to pop to the shop for a beer ….and maybe even some crisps! ^_^

  41. pnx031 says:

    how do you go back to 1.5?
    just a question… ;o cuz 3.10 OE-A is not fully functional yet

  42. Silent Hill says:

    I am waiting for a CW CHEAT for 3.10OE now. so that i can change discs for metal gear solid

  43. ForevaLost says:

    Does anyone know if this will brick my noobz downgraded 3.03 psp with with the remnants of sony’s 3.03……I currently have 3.03EO-C

    I don’t need a expensive paper weight :-)

    • Tony147 says:

      if you downgraded to 1.5 then upgraded to 3.03OE then it is safe to proceed with this update.

    • benjio says:

      the 3.10 oe update formats the flash before copying its own files so all those 3.03 remnants are gone. completely safe.

      • tahikiB says:

        I am not sure it if formats the flash. Just the files it needs. I still had my back ground and my settings. I wish is would of formated both flashes before installing.

        • Dj Dumbi says:

          Your background and settings were still there because the format didn’t touch the Flash1 part of the psp, but the Flash0 (the more critical and more prone to bricking part of the psp) Flash0 is like system32 part of windows. And Flash1 is like documents and settings in XP. You know some people want to keep their name and network settings or something, instead of doing everything over again.

    • BrokenWorm says:

      IT WILL NOT EVEN YOUR NOOB GRADED :D

  44. mo says:

    TOTALLY AWESOME, I had a 2nd PSP sitting around with faulty UMD(infact my girlfriend ripped umd drive apart, as i was spending too much time on it). I downgraded from firmware 2.71(no umd drive needed to do this), then upgraded to firmware 310 0e-a. I can play Iso games of memory card after enabling No UMD option in recovery menu. yes yes i have 2 PSPs now with custom firmware 3.10 oea. Thanks DA your a legend.

  45. sooony says:

    sony got butt fucked once again. good shit.

  46. Xel-naga666 says:

    Cheers Alex :)

    And wow, an ever brighter brightness level :|

    hehe, nice!

  47. some dude says:

    will thre be a new list on how good the pops work like for exampel that the game frezes in FF8 and that there is a better way to games that are more then one disk

  48. lightcloud007 says:

    again i love u in a non gay way lol

  49. FRED says:

    NOO!! ALL OF MY WORKING PS1 GAMES DONT WORK ANY MORE!!! WONT HAVE YOU DONE DARK ALEX?! lol pie :-)

    everything else works though

  50. Mozex says:

    Allright, I generated the DATA.DXAR in less then 5 minutes and with my luck my battery went down to exactly 74%

    Is there a way to bypass this batterycheck? if so, how?

  51. penguisnrule says:

    prx for gtavcs doesnt work nooo

  52. Deciphile says:

    LMAo.

    Damn that was fast. I just updated to 3.03 OE-c

    Damn good work

  53. Okay … so, I’m not sure I’m reading this correctly … does this version NOT allow for use of POPSTATION converted PS1 games??? There’s one comment above this one that says they no longer work … and something on the main page about an “update available for this later in the week” … anybody? anybody?

  54. help says:

    So what does this do?

    update from 1.5 to 3.10 oe?

    update from 3.10 to 3.10 oe?

    does it enable homebrew?

    is it a downgrader?

  55. help – it’s a “custom/hybrid firmware” it combines the functionality of a 1.5 PSP with the functionality of Sony’s latest firmware. If you don’t use a lot of homebrew / game ISO’s / emulation … you really don’t need to worry about it. If you do, it’s worth doing. However, I’m STILL trying to figure out if PS1 games work on this. There seem to be conflicting comments …

  56. Dudemanpp says:

    DAX is teh PSP G0|)

  57. Silent Hill says:

    I got my my ps1 games to work. Resident evil 3 and Dino Crisis 2 works but havent tried out the others

  58. Silent Hill … did you make those PS1 game images using the 3.02 OE-C easy popstation GUI compression?

  59. shaddowknight says:

    im hoping for a way to convert old PSX game boots to new ones…. id rather not have to burn them off the CD’s again…
    its the only reason im still at 3.03 OE-B

  60. FRED says:

    PEOPLE, do not even attempt to change your icons in this firmware! i just bricked my psp.

    if you are going to attempt it. i HIGHLY RECOMMEND making a back-up of

    topmenu_plugin.rco

    in flash0.

    I learnt this the hard way :-(

    But i made a back-up of it :-D. so its un-bricked thanks to recovery mode :-)

  61. 88 says:

    stupit dail up 3 hours to down a 20.85 file!!!!!!!!!
    thanks dax and booster for coming out with devhook

  62. chickentikka says:

    fantastic job but a little unstable 2 partial bricks, good job they make the recovery programme so good oh and dont change the topmenu rco. =1 partial brick.

  63. help says:

    i have version 2.81 and dont have unpatched gta lcs

    whatever this is, does it work with 3.10 if i upgrade to that?

    • chickentikka says:

      do not touch this if you want any chance of downgrading

    • Rooka5 says:

      nonono dont do it…. get a copy of LCS, upgrade to 3.03 then downgrade, and after it you can install this custom firmware.otherwise you WILL brick your psp, so !!!!!!!!!do not try to install 3.10OE under 2.81!!!!!!!!!!

  64. Mark says:

    Good work this makes the psp worth more $$$ and is the best hand held system thanks to Dark Alex he is the man and i would just like to say thanks for this you are what keeps the psp alive

  65. FRED says:

    erm… i really want 3.03 OE-C back, down do i downgrade to 1.50 again?

  66. Rooka5 says:

    i have some games downloaded in a ps1 eboot….if they worked in 3.03OE-C the will work in 3.10OE-A….or not??:S:Spls answer….

  67. FRED says:

    BTW, i have 3.10 OE-A

  68. MickMog says:

    any probs with web browser anyone? seems to freeze for me when i go to enter address

  69. spitfire says:

    yes you should do it i dont li ke 310 OEA because i cant play psx games

  70. Brett says:

    i just flashed this and it works fine but when i go to the internet browser i get the blue screen of death. anyone know why? did i do something wrong? i really want to use the internet with its increased page size thing.

  71. Corporal Hicks says:

    can some one give me a site where i can find what PS1 one games work on 3.10 Please

    Thank you

    • Dj Dumbi says:

      Go to the psp-hacks forums, they have a LONNG list. Just use search before posting a thread, you WILL find it like you find a list of psp games that work for all custom firmwares.

  72. FRED says:

    hey, how do i downgrade back to 1.5, i have 3.10 OE-C, and its really buggy!

  73. PX says:

    How long should extract take… mines been going for like 15 minutes saying:
    “Extracting and Packing 3.10 firmware…”

    Something wrong?

  74. FRED says:

    do you think i might just be able to do what you do to upgrade it, make a data.dxar??

    except do it with a 3.03 OE-C maker?

  75. MickMog says:

    FRED, NO!!!!!!!
    why risk it for a 2 second download????

    • FRED says:

      what do you mean MickMog?? why cant i just make a data.dxar of a 3.03 OE-C firmware? because it flashes everything anyway?? doesnt it?

  76. PX says:

    nevermind, it worked after awhile :>

  77. iman abdul mohammad says:

    To those that have used 3.03 OE-C and 3.10 OE-A – which is more preferred? PSX ISo usage, etc…?

  78. Ix_stylez says:

    uhh.. wheres the instructions for this???

  79. Peopleman says:

    Can we get past the police station in RE2 with this new update?

  80. Waiter says:

    3.10OE-A hasn’t added much apart from a better psx emulator still can’t load all ISOs. i am waiting for 3.10OE-B for more features.

  81. Button_Fixer says:

    Succesfully updated to 3.10 OE a few hours ago. Thanks Dark_AleX :)

    POPS does fix a few big glitches and Tomba NTSC works now without freezing the opening movie etc. But some games will not work while they’ve worked in 3.02 OE and 3.03 OE.

    Lets see what Chrono Cross and FF8 have to say about the new POPS.

  82. Named My Child Dark Alex says:

    Yesssss yesssss yessssss yessss (tears leaking) yessss yesss yessss…. YOU ARE A GOD DARK ALEX!!!!!!!!!

  83. Ix_stylez says:

    When i try starting the “OE A updater Maker” it shows the psp intro, then it says game could not be started. Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

  84. FRED says:

    someone please help!! i have upgraded to 3.10 OE-A and its really really buggy! how can i go back to 1.50?? or even 3.03 OE-C?!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

  85. Justin says:

    Can U, with this custom firmware, play PsX games and PSP iso’s? If not, It would be stupid to update my 3.03OE-C firmware.

    • sweetheart^^ says:

      wtf, why wouldnt you play psp iso’s or PSX games?
      yea your fkn right, updates make things shittier, dont never update

  86. PSP_User says:

    i just upgrade to 3.10 OE-A and when i go to the browser loads the BSOD (blue screen of death)
    Why ??? I Have brick my psp ???

  87. Named My Child Dark Alex says:

    I’m voting for you for U.S. President yeah!

  88. MrAlaska says:

    wtf now i just upgraded and now my internet browser wont work!!!

  89. Waiter says:

    I don’t understand you people. why do u think 3.10OE-A is buggy! I updated to 3.10OE-A and it is great. It has a better psx emulator! plz tell me why you would rather have 3.03OE-C!

  90. FRED says:

    OT OH! SPAGGETIOS! Dark Alex, looks like you have some unhappy customers! *including me* lol

    • chickentikka says:

      as stated in your earlier post run the recovery menu option 3 for 1.50 recovery its probably the same problem i had works a treat

  91. PSP USER says:

    i extracted the files and put it in my game folder, renamed the 1.50 and 3.10 eboot “150.pbp and 310.pbp” but when i try to load the OEA update maker it says “the game could not be started.” Im running a sony update of 3.03.

  92. MIKE says:

    im having the same problem as PSP USER

    Does anyone know the problem?

  93. lance says:

    my psp is 3.10. Can i still upgrade to 3.10 OE-A or do i have to downgrade it first. Please reply

  94. Waiter says:

    @PSP USER Thats because your on sony offical 3.03 update. u need to downgrade to 1.50 then update to 3.10OE-A

  95. Waiter says:

    Why did people update to sony official 3.10. there is no fun

  96. mo says:

    Alaska dont panic, after installing 310 OE-A just restore default settings from your psp menu.

  97. ZED says:

    not really clear here whether or not ISO/CSO/PSX games are working, my guess is POPstation made ones have the issue…does anyone know if this works coz i wana try cabela’s african safari which aint working on the current 3.03

  98. loyx says:

    Hey. For those having trouble with the psp’s web browser giving you a blue screen of death after installing 3.10, just go to settings > system settings > restore default settings and hit ok, it should work after that.

  99. Waiter says:

    Can’t wait to see new features in 3.10OE-B next!!!

  100. MrAlaska says:

    FOR ALL WHO INTERNET BROWSER WONT WORK RESET THE DEFAULT SETTINGS!!!!!!!!MickMog SAID IT SOMEWHERE IN HERE. thank you MickMog

  101. sweet! says:

    sweet! to bad i lost my psp that had 3.03oe-c :(

  102. TLTB Co. says:

    ok idk if this has been said but since i did it. if you did the 3.03 downgrader its ok to upgrade to this. i did it and didnt brick, i did have to reset the defaul settings like MrAlaska said..all works fine.

  103. loyx says:

    Hey Dark_Alex, fuck off with your buggy firmware! Dont rush and put out dumbass upgrades until you fix the bugs. Stupid DArk Alex

    • sweetheart^^ says:

      lol, only thing he shpuld have mentioned was that to reset your settings, thats all, so your browser wont give you bsod.
      other that that, you fuck off.
      mention what bugs you mean~!

    • Newbie says:

      HEY FUCKER LOYX DONT SAY ANYTHING STUPID TO DARK ALEX YOU STUPID SHIT, IF YOU DONT LIKE HIS CUSTOM FIRMWARE DONT UPGRADE YOU FUCKING MORON…… WHY DONT YOU MAKE YOU MAKE YOUR FIRMWARE YOU SHITHEAD!!!!!

    I have 3.10OE-A and i don’t have custom icons so i don’t have any bugs. i am happy at 3.10OE-A! i prefer it over 3.03OE-C because 3.10OE-A has a better 3.10OE-A. i wonder if DarK_AleX goes on http://www.psp-hacks.com and reads the comments?

  105. Success says:

    Since DarK_AleX is spanish. i wonder if he can read a lot of english

  106. comicgeek says:

    I’ve been waiting for this since THURSDAY and now here it is. Great job Dark_Alex, great job team C+D for paving the way… Devs Collaboration rules!!!!

  107. goop says:

    @loyx come on man. dont br like that. we all owe dark_alex all these great custom firmware.

  108. U2 says:

    Do pal games work now without all the glitches?

  109. Halp says:

    Erm im stupid i have a psp ver 3.03 and i want to upgrade to this but how? what is a 1.50 kernel? can i even do this?

    • Peopleman says:

      Well to answer your questions: First off, you need to:
      1. Downgrade you’re 3.03 psp to 1.50
      2. Download Dark Alex’s 3.10 OE-A update (FOUND ON THIS PAGE)
      3. Download Sony’s 3.10 Eboot update (FOUND ON THIS PAGE)
      4. Download Sony’s 1.50 Eboot update (FOUND ON THIS PAGE)
      5. Read the READ ME TEXT that comes with the “Dark Alex 3.10 update rar.”
      6. Follow those directions SPECIFICALLY.

      1.50 was AMERICA’s original firmware for the psp. It aloud kernal access. Kernal basically enables you to run ISO’s, homebrew and a slew of other great gizzmos on your psp. Dark Alex’s Update alows you to have the newest Sony Update features, and also alows you to play all 1.50 homebrew that you can’t play on the ACTUAL SONY 3.10.

      Yes you can do this.

      • Newbie says:

        Just want to add:

        Some people like newbies dont know 3.03 OE as a custom made firmware…. maybe Halp is saying 3.03 Sony Firmware (not the custom one) Look for the downgrader for 3.03 to 1.5 then do this 3.10 OE upgrade.

        Also if your already in 3.03 OE C you can upgrade to 3.10 OE A ahead. No need to downgrade to 1.5

        Enjoy playing PSP

          “Halp is saying 3.03 Sony Firmware (not the custom one) Look for the downgrader for 3.03 to 1.5 then do this 3.10 OE upgrade.”

          “1. Downgrade you’re 3.03 psp to 1.50″

          Yea I said that.

  114. Alex says:

    OMG, I just had my first semi-brick! …I updated to this and began to write to the flash…after writing the VSH wouldnt show :( I used the “flasher for recovery” from 3.02oe-a to downgrade to 1.50 and upgraded back to 3.10oe-a…Yay, and this custom firmware doesn’t need to have a umd in your psp…just go to the recovery menu then configuration and turn no umd on.

  115. goop says:

    @alex yuo dont umd to play iso games?

  116. patrick says:

    How do i acsess the recovery menu??? i am running on 3.03 OE-C and get a “The game could not be started. (8002014C)” error when I try to run the 3.10 OE-A Update Maker. I read further up in the comments that this can be fixed by going to the recovery menu… If this is not true, or if there is another option to fix the problem, please reply. thanks.

  117. luca brazzi says:

    thanks DA u rule!!!!!!! one question regarding the recovery menu (just in case): I take the 1.50 EBOOT, rename it to UPDATE.pbp, put it in the RECOVERY folder, if needed execute it from the recovery menu and that’s it? or am I wrong? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    question: what popstation gui should I use to convert my ps1 EBOOTs that don’t work anymore? The one posted in the forum link (Zinga Burga’s v3.00) doesn’ seem to do the trick. Should I download a Previous Version?

  130. luca brazzi says:

    anyone please? fade2black was hard to find, it’s a shame not to finish flashback’s sequel!!!!! thanks in advance!!!!!!

  131. Squidman says:

    it doesn’t matter what GUI u use…as long as it’s the correct Popstation file….the GUI just makes it simpler to use, cause some people don’t understand how to work it when it’s a command prompt thing, so just make sure it’s a “modifyed version” when you download it….

    btw if you don’t know….GUI = General User Interface/Graphical User Interface

    4. Reboot when instructed.
    5. Enjoy 3.10OE-A!

    Has anybody tried FFVII with this 3.10-oe-A? Did it run smoothly without the 3.02 plugin?

  137. 1NAMill says:

    I just upgraded to 3.10OE-A (DAX you’re the man/woman whoever you are) Have anyone try to use the memory stick with all the upgrade info and upgrade another PSP? I remember 2.8 and higher firewares had an issue with using homebrews from one memory stick with another PSP. I don’t want to brick my friend’s psp. Since I have the dxar file on my memory stick it would be easier to just put my memory stick in his PSP and run OEFlasher from his 1.5 PSP. Please let me know.

    i cant get my ps1 games to work when i start it it only shows a black screen wat should i do?

  144. ben says:

    good work DAX… although everyone seems to be having problems with PS1 games, I can’t get some PSP isos to run un 3.10-oe (they ran fine under 3.03-oe-C). If anyone could check, Splinter Cell Essentials runs the intro movies, then goes to a “this game could not be loaded.” Newer firmwares are always a great achievement for everyone(read: new features), even if there are a few new bugs. If anyone with the new firmware could check out Splinter Cell, I would much appreciate it. Thanks. -ben

    • bob says:

      its wking fine for me

      • ben says:

        thanks for checking… i’m going to try going back to 3.03-oe-c until things seem a little more stable. if any other games(PSP or PS1) don’t work on the new firmware, post a reply on here… i think everyone wants to know that the new firmware is compatible with all games before they upgrade…

  145. jimmy says:

    can this custom fw play iso? and does it support devhook

    • ben says:

      i’ve had limited success with isos… i had to go back to 3.03 oe-c, and now all of my isos run fine. i don’t know what was up with 3.10, and i haven’t heard of anyone else having problem playing their psp isos, but Splinter Cell-Essentials would not play past intro movies, but Dungeon Siege, and Me and My Katamari worked. The three games I tried were all isos, played from the XMB. I’m going to wait before I upgrade again to see if anyone else has any problems…

      • Ouroboros says:

        Try running with a UMD in it with “No UMD” set to Disabled. There were games I’ve tried that won’t run without a UMD inserted and the “No UMD” set to Enabled. Although that was when I was still running 3.03OE-C.

  146. Mickice says:

    I’ve had no problems with ISO’s sure there were thoes feww that never loaded on OE but would on Dev-Hook, but everything else works.

  147. Hacker says:

    Well i for one love custom firmwares. and the recovery menu has saved my ass on more then 3 ocassions. the only thing i dont like is the fact that there are some bugs (in the System languages, there are two that dont work…the last 2) and the fact that location free wont work. i can personally enjoy not spending $300 on it but yet i use my friends all the time. so no more tv for me i guess. it is an awesome version(the visual player changes color, how cool is that :)

    Sorry for multiple posts, but I’d like to know if FFVII works with 3.10 oe-a. I’m having second thoughts upgrading my oe-c because I am currently playing ffvii. Someone please try. Many thanks.

  151. photiscta says:

    If I install this custom firmware, will be able to run iso files (like devhook)?
    Is it compatible with psp host or some utility like this?
    Thanks!

  152. MickMog says:

    ive had a few ps1 game ike colin mcrae working flawless when the grafix glitches were too much to play with before, disable all plugins tho
    they were made for 3.03 fw not 3.10, most still work but some crash & stop pops runnin rite

  153. jonowee says:

    Probably an unpopular wish from me is for Sony to stop releasing FW updates for a short (long) while, say three months so that OE can stabilise/slow down so AhMan can get to work on an IR Shell for OE. I love Dark Alex custom firmware but I miss NetHost and USBHost, wanna launch OE XMB with IRS in the background and stuff.
    I actually spend more time in IRS than the XMB.

    You’all prolly think I’m wacked out for saying the above, I don’t want Sony to try to freeze Dark Alex like they did with Booster.

  154. OGRaceR says:

    installed perfect as always

    thanks

  155. Adriano says:

    I install 3.10 OE here a few minutes ago.

    Yes photiscta, with this custom firmware you can play PSX games and PSP (.iso and .cso) games without install Devhook.

    -UMD games work fine here
    -Web Browser work fine.
    -FFVII work fine
    -.iso and .cso work fine. Only Splinter Cell stop work after install this 3.10 OE . After the intro the game quit with the message.
    “The game could not be started.”
    (80020148). Yes , i have a UMD disc inside the game. Work fine on 3.03 OE-C but not more on 3.10OE.

    • Vegetano1 says:

      You can not install a 310oea on a 310 sony firmware.
      You should read some more about stuff in the forum and wait for a 3.10 downgrader.

      Maybe in the mean time there is a 3.10 downgrader(i think not), else there will be soon, i am sure!!

      dont worry … im currently working on unfirmwaring the 3.10 stolen sony crap

  170. Risonhighmer says:

    This is great, I remember the days back when I was using an eloader and fiddling with devhook trying to make it work.

    No more of that ever since the Noobz made that 2.80 downgrader and Dark Alex got to work on his custom firmware, Thanks a lot for this!

    Although I’m getting a Bsod at the web browser (Which I’m assuming I can just restore default settings and it should work fine) Everything else works great!

  171. zaqi says:

    yes tnx vegetano1 tnx Dark_Alex for the good job.. im using ur new 3.10oeA but i have other one psp unit 3.10 sory i can not use it right now but i hope im use it soon…..

    i got my 3.10 downgraded to 3.02oeb and now updated it back to 3.10oe , now alls working spot on Dark_AleX your the man , or woman (Is Alex a girl or boy ???)

  173. Sammy SID says:

    Can someone smart & not a noob in testing these firmwares just list what files and folders should be kept on the mem stick after the 3.03 OE-C or 3.10 OE-A upgrades so that the PSX & SNES emulators work right instead of giving the “The game could not be started. (8002014C)” error. It’ll definitely help cleanup the extras which are not needed like netconfigbackup.

  174. Lextester says:

    sammy SID , just select format from your options , it should make all new directories you need. put PSX eboots in a folder /psp/game/ , and i use the game folder for my snestyl .042 me
    as well works just fine and dandy , btw my snes emu is kxploited

  175. DRe says:

    ON 3.10 OE-A will all of the umd games work? For example, Cabela’s African Safari. An intelligent response would be appreciated.

    Dark Alex, Booster, and others you are a blessing to the psp scene. Thank you for all of your dedication and unselfish contribution.

    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!

    • exorcist says:

      updated today to 3.10oe and psp iso,umd and psx games work not tried any homebrew but so far everthing works perfect never even had the browser problem and this was on 3 psp’s.

    • Jyonouchi says:

      Are you sure you…

      1. actually upgraded to 3.10 OE and not Sony’s 3.10?
      2. have your homebrew/iso’s in the right folders?

      For number 1, if you’re sure you went to OE, then go to #2. If you didn’t, you’re severely screwed.

      For number 2, check to see if you accidentally put your stuff in the wrong folders. Kinda obvious, but it happens.

      Hope I could help!

  178. Adriano says:

    Calm down dude. Don’t get Panic!
    Yes, This 3.10OE have some bugs.
    I think Dark Alex already know this too.
    Wait a few days. I am sure Dark Alex will release a new version very fast.
    Please, Dark Alex , if you ready my comment . Please, start work in a 2.81 TA-082 downgrade without this GTA.
    I have 3 kids here . Only 2 have yours PSP with OE firmware and one with 2.81.
    Imagine handle my kid here :)

    Thanks a lot

    You are the man!

      • B-Roy says:

        no it isn’t. Not without GTA like he asked. There’s not that good of a chance of that happening unless another exploit is found. So if you’re on TA-082 with 2.81+ the only option will be to get an unpatched GTA. However, GTA was the only way to load games before (on 2.5 or 2.6), and then there was the 2.71 HEN exploit, so maybe they will find an exploit in 3.1* with a non-GTA exploit.

    I’m sure DA knows that there’s *MINOR” bro with this. But I for 1 is VERY thankful that he’s considerate enough to release this on it’s current state. I’m sure there’s *little probs here and there, but if u cant wait for the 310 oe-b release then i suggest u stick with the 3.03 oe-c for now. but im sure 3.10oe-b is just around the corner now and this CUSTOM FIRMWARE will join his LEGENDARY custom firmware releases in no time.
    Great work Dark Alex and props to the other devs whom wthout the rest, i’m sure this scene wont be as great as it currently is.

    what’s GAY is the fact that u expect simple sollutions to problems that normally would take you your life time working on.
    2nd. dont ask EXTREMLY idiotic questions before reading some creditable source on how to perform your situation. (3.03 > 1.50 DG)

    ON 3.10 OE-A will all of the umd games work? For example, Cabela’s African Safari. An intelligent response would be appreciated.

    Dark Alex, Booster, and others you are a blessing to the psp scene. Thank you for all of your dedication and unselfish contribution.

    NO. some probs might be lurking here and there as i mention above. but if u need them then just stick with 3.03oec. i had the same prob with Metal Slug Anthology. (MS6 to be exact)
    damn thing wont load. but MS1-5 works propery. just that 1 im into.
    so now im in 3.03oec. and me other psp is on 3.10 oea. ready to test these comming releases on compatibility.

    It can take a while for the 310 to extract ect to make the dxar file.

    On my SONY 1bg, it took almost half an hour.
    But on my SONY 2BG it only took a minute.
    and on my SANDISK 4gb it only took no more than 30 secs.
    it reeally depends on your memory cards speed and brand.

    hey arc angelz, NO it wont work. you will haft to wait for a 3.10 downgrader to downgrade to firmware v1.5 then you can install the custom firmware 3.10 OE-A. Read all the forums and learn as much as you can, and never use sony’s update if you want homebrew some day.
    Great Job Dark_Alex

    Because I wanted to play splinter cell (won’t play on 310_OE) I went back to303_OE without first going back to 1.50. That was NOT a good idea! Brick my PSP now and even worse: NO recovery available! Anybody knows what to do?

    Could anyone answer my question posted above? Too many people always complaining about stuff, that’s free.

    VERY GOOD POINT!
    these bloody newbies…
    acting like their 12. y cant they learn to read some stuff about your problems or atleast post on the right thread. not on its comments release thread.
    Here’s my suggestion:
    If you’ve experiened 3.03oe series and hae sumtin productive to say like “g’d job DA and such”
    then feel free.
    but if you have questions like “how do you use this or can u explain it in english (i shouldnt go on) then you are making yourself look like a fool.
    beacause if your gonna be tampering with your psp’s fw then you’ll need to do your own research like countless of peoples that knows it’s foolish to ask because it is not only embarasing it could also lead you to a brick if given the wrong advise.
    most newbies then tend to look up further details and cant seem to have enough when only if they did it right the first time… ( starting to sound like my father, i better stop)
    :P
    you get the idea…

    Can someone smart & not a noob in testing these firmwares just list what files and folders should be kept on the mem stick after the 3.03 OE-C or 3.10 OE-A upgrades so that the PSX & SNES emulators work right instead of giving the “The game could not be started. (8002014C)” error. It’ll definitely help cleanup the extras which are not needed like netconfigbackup.

    you might have a bad flash.
    try recover back to 1.50 and doing it all again from scratch.(making dxar and all)
    then if your still experiencing same probs. goto this site forums and read up the ” error code ” thread and im sure you’ll be playing psx, snes emulation in no time.
    But if u ask me. u should stick with 3.03oec. since it could handle them two in spicific in ease.

    you cant go from 3.10 oea to 3.03 oec?
    and the only way you can go back to previous FWs on 3.10oea is if you either goto recovery or replace the recovery’s PBP to whatever FW you want on.

    I smell something not right here.
    If your serious you have a bick and the PSP wont even go on and the mem stick light flashes then the unit turn off. then you have a brick. if you still have XMB controls then you have a chance on going CFW again.

  202. Anonymous_349 says:

    Here’s another useful info i’ve found.
    3.10 oe-a has a few pros, they are 1 and most important, latest fw meaning even if a new game requires 3.10 fw to run, we have something to make tha happen. 2 LCD bightness available to maximum level. very useful on out doors on a bright sunny day and makes PSP screen more dinamic IMO. (btw, i ow about the plugin) 3 PAL PSX Pops emulation comatible. no more converting regions to NTSC. now its as easy as rip and play. And many more as I’m sure we’ll bump into later on.

    Cons: 1 Still a little buggy (Even tho imo it’s the most buggies OE release of DA) but yet it works!
    2 some iso/backups wont load. Due to new scripts and codes added by SONY (which feels like to me a sign that sony are VERY courious on how DA’s work reacts on their new found restrictions) 3 this list could go on ‘m sure as we go along.

    My 2 cent is we are frtunate enough to witness Open Edition on it’s finest and we ALL should be donating like crazy to DA and other devs that deserves the credit (both literally and figuratevly)

    If anyone is foolish enough to give nothing but negative pointers to this GREAT release then you have nothing to say or prove compare to these awsome devs that have proven again and again that their work means ALOT to the commnity.
    I myself have gotten a few serious and not so serious issues dealling with the Homebrew scene but always found myself respecting more and more of their works as I use them.
    The bottom line is if there is anyone dumb enough to use this without atleast reading it’s README’s and such. Then you deserve nothing else but the problem you caused yourselves.
    And those peoples that post retarded things like “I used this and now Im bricked” like post.
    Either your full of sh**! or just too dumb to understand SIMPLE instructions.
    For those genuine about this CFW causing their brick. I’m sure you and no one else caused that due to either your mistake or hardware isseues.
    So if your sencere you have SERIOUS issues. You can start by going to forums and looking there instead of it getting lost or flamed in this type of places.

    Cheerz*

    Yes, if you preffer to do it that way. Or you can just mount flash0 from recovery>advanced and replace “ltn0.pgf” (backup before you recplace/delete) on “f0:\font” folder with the font of your choice. I suggest for you to do it that way. Much easier and safer. Just don’t tamper around with the other files in there because if you delete/modify any files relating to recovery. You’ll end up having a brick. Unless of course you know wha you are doing.
    God luck and happy modding.

    This firmware has too many bugs, had this, went back down to 1.50 then back up to 3.03oe-c. I wait for a revision of the firmware.

  207. Anonymous_349 says:

    Actually D’Arcs X-flash wouldn’t be able to load at all in 3.03oe-c or 3.10oe-a. For some reason he hasn’t been releasing update revision of his X-flash series. Pitty though. I always liked that brew. It was very useful.
    But I guess there’nothing X-Flash cn do now days that we can do manually. I mean by debranding the gameboot we could just Hex” it now days. same with the Debrand bootlogo. font modicifation is just as simple as I mention on my post above. The only thing I can think of that we’re missing out on is the version spoof, but there a version changer that would do the same job. The custom about screen is also do-able, so all in all. X-Flash I guess became obsolete to users that knew how this modifications were done.
    Still I’m a VERY greatful fan of D’Arc’s X-flash and if he was to release a new version, I would download and use in a heart beat.

    I’m sure that more that half of the CFW users out there (wise ones anyway) came with the same conclusion. Yet this release never the less is an achiement. Which deserves to be credited. It’s like the first 3.XX OEA release. Not everyone jumped on the boat as soon as it release. Now days as soon as theirs a new OE-X release. People wouldn’t even think otherwise to go for it.
    I’m sure you had your legit reasons with your final reason. But you should be more appriciative to it’s creator(s) since it was them that made it possible for you to still be playing with your PSP.
    Today you give 3.10 OE-A a bad post but as soon as 3.10 OE-B comes out I’m sure you’ll think otherwise.

  219. Boolar says:

    For whoever it was that asked about where the PSX games went on the MS duo and what the folder structure of the memory stick was:-

    I have 3 files and two folders initially,
    the files are:- memstick.ind, mstk.pro.ind, loadexec.prx along with PSP and ISO folders.

    PSP/
    Game (for eboot games/PSX games)
    Game150 (havent used except for 3.03 OE-C installation, but 1.50 eboots go here)
    Game271 (2.71 eboots go here)
    Music
    Photo
    Savedata

    ISO/ (for iso’s strangely)

    (Game150, game271 etc etc, if you have an eboot for a particular firmware, it may need to be in a folder named accordingly. So if you needed a game 150 and for some reason didn’t have one, just create one in the correct place).
    ……………………………………………………

    DAX is a demigod in the PSP scene, the amount of stuff opened up to users is nothing short of amazing. Sony’s constant updates to try and close the doors are a major irritation, but even if they do manage to stop things, the amount of users now able to access Dark Alex’ stuff so far will always be a thorn in their sides. The work done to date makes devhook look dated (and complicated), and it was only a few months back that devhook was king.

    I know this is the 3.10 OE-A thread, but I am waiting until the finer details are fully worked out. I just figured I should add the folder structure info here.

    One question, did I read in here that 3.10 allows PAL PSX titles to run properly rather than just NTSC? If so, then the biggest reason for me to make the move to 3.10 may well have already arrived.

    finally, why are so many people in here intent on using the PSP as a web browser? Is it really worth it? I have used a PDA and a mobile phone online (even used a Wii) and all were singularly unsatisfying browsers, I just have trouble understanding why this is such a big thing. I know everybody wants something different from the PSP, but for me, they could get rid of the browser altogether (or is there a good reason for having it?) and just have a PSP that plays PSP games, PSX game (PAL as well as NTSC), movies for the long train/plain rides, and that’d be pretty much spot on for me. OH, and maybe a hardware mod adding a second analog stick :-)

    To everybody who has ever created a firmware mod, games mod, or way to get around the artificial limitations imposed by manufacturers, and all those who have tried, tested and used them, I for one give a big thank you. Keep it up DAX
