Has full Wireless support at 333Mhz?

Copy the files inside MS_ROOT to ms0:/.
Use the PBP Unpacker on an untouched FW3.11 PBP and extract the DATA.PSAR file.
Copy the DATA.PSAR file to ms0:/.
Copy the FW3.11 PSAR Dumper (released by Team C+D) into ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
Run the PSAR Dumper on your PSP and press “X” or the “Cross” button when prompted to.
It should automatically return to the XMB once it is done.
Run DevHook v0.52.
Select “Flash Install.”
Select “Setup firmware from PSAR dumper.”
Read the disclaimer, and press “O” or the “Circle” button if you agree with it.
Once it is done, go back to the main DevHook v0.52 screen.
Select “Firmware.”
Select “Firmware 3.11.”
Select “Start.”
Reboot the PSP.
Load DevHook v0.52 again and start FW3.11.
It should say that the setup information is corrupt (BSoD), just press “O” or “Circle.”
Reboot the PSP.
Load DevHook v0.52 again and start FW3.11.
You should now be able to apply your personal settings to your PSP!

I try the new dh and discovered that when I try to exit from a game to the XMB menu by pressing ‘HOME’, it turned off. Is there any way to return to XMB normally?

i don’t understand why someone wouldn’t wanna update to 3.10 OE-A

Comment by King Rolo
2007-02-24 14:07:15

Maybe its a case of ‘better the devil you know’ sort of thing? Or a case of ‘I want to keep it as close to original as possible. (I remember how stressfull it was the first time to get DevHook to run with all that upgrading/downgrading flashing going on :S )

I’ve not really checked / searched for a pictured step -by-step guide for getting OE up and running.

1) Can you return/reflash back to 1.50 completely WITHOUT using the OE ‘recovery/safemode boot’ to 1.50?

2) If you can, then HOW?

3) Do all brew work with OE, such as Pimpstreamer/1.6shell/PSP vnc? (sorry if i got the names wrong :| )

Comment by MickMog
2007-02-24 16:19:57

yes to all 3 king rolo, i have all 3 working….personally id say for 100% reliable firmware which plays ll known recent games itd have to be 3.03 OE- C
this devhook runs well on it too, same as all the rest.
i have 3.10 OE-A on one psp & 3.03 OE-C on another, the latter is the best….as i said in my opinion but thats only because i can customise it.

Not everybody wants to run the risk of bricking their PSP. A lot of people are happy to just run Devhook and play their games. Stop being so elitist and close-minded.

There is almost little to no chance of bricking your PSP with the recovery system.

I don’t see why people even bother with devhook either

why would u when u can have 3.03 topmenu & still have 3.10 or 3.11 support via devhook on the extrmely odd occasion youd want 3.10 features, what are they? a grafic interface for media player….thatd be cool if u didnt lose customisation.
theres a lot of benefits to 3.03 OEX, i use my 3.03 OE more than 3.10 OE…..cos it looks better

Nice job but honestly, why would anyone NOT want to upgrade to an OE-X firmware? Only people who are stubborn or don’t have any clue how to hack..or both, still have their PSP on 1.50.

Please, get with the times people!

 
Comment by H
2007-02-24 14:30:12

Wow, thanks a lot. I’m one of those who dont want to risk flashing stuff. I just don’t do it because i don’t have a job ATM, so i dont want to take any risk with my psp. When i can possibly afford another one, then i’m on it. But for now, thanks a lot. :D

have you upgraded/downgraded before? if u do everything right with the custom firmware the risks are as small as upgrading with the sony firmwares. pretty easy now due to installers being released on the forums so you cant mess up. unless the installer is messed up :P

Comment by The race leader

yes

its even easier than doing it to the installed firmwire.

 
 
Comment by topghetto
2007-02-24 15:07:56

i think the custom firmwares are the best e.g. 3.03 OE-C. you run anything you want out of the XMB. plus you can just use ISO’s from the Game menu and it will work. not to be rude or anything, but booster should just pack it in. Dark Alex has kicked his ass. am i right?

Comment by iuzfuh
2007-02-24 15:51:37

You could be more grateful for this awesome release, and shut up with your miserable custom fw! I have upgraded to one of those once, and i tought it’ s a piece of a sh*t, so i returned to 1.50 as fast as i could, and i will never use that sh*t again! So don’ t update to that s*hit, devhook owns! Booster rocks!!

no one answered my question can i use ps1 emu. with the new devhook firmware 3.03-3.11?

Comment by Umm.. WTF?
2007-02-24 16:18:31

PSX Emu has been out since 3.00 i do believe, and devhook has not had it, and probably still doesn’t have it…. just go OE, devhook wastes enough space to fit another game or even a few depending on size…

 
Comment by RyanMWolfe
2007-02-25 17:10:13

NO and if it does you would have to buy them from PS3. With OE firmware you can play any of em for free!

i dont actually know what this means.. does this mean you can emulate firmware 3.11 and use its features?

Comment by Variable_Mog
2007-02-24 16:36:18

Yes.

Comment by FRED
2007-02-25 13:09:15

so that means… you can emulate a 3.11 firmware OVER THE TOP OF the firmware you are already on?

Comment by fanispap
2007-02-24 16:44:44

I think that u can benefit from both worlds!
OE-X has an awful lot of features, but DevHook simulates the real thing (maximum combatibility).
Personally I have 3.10OE-A AND DevHook 0.52 because some games (very few) get stuck in OE, but play wonderfully on DH, ie Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony.
Of course I think sticking with FW 1.50 while there is OE-X is like believing in ghosts or Count Dracula in 2007AD!

Comment by HEMPY
2007-02-25 00:39:12

I found that setting the cpu to default speed made Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony run just fine. When playing using 333mhz the game froze up on me all the time.

its nice to have a choice, i use OE but i like the idea of having a choice. Let say, and i hope this will never happen, that DAX ends up in prison for who knows what reason, or something terible happens to him so he cant develope any more psp stuff for us, what then… what will u use then… its always good to have an alternative no mater what… and devhook is a damn good software…. for me , as OE user devhook has the same value as OE FW….. thanx for this great app respect

you have to put the original devhook 0.52.0000’s dh folder onto your memory sticks root, and two folders into the game, than put the new 0.52.0100’s dh folder to the root, and overwrite it if asks.

guyz, dark alex and booster work as a team incase u guyz ddnt know. booster gave his code to dark alex to integrate the system into the custom firmwares, check dark alex’s readme, it has credits to booster for his work towards the custom firmware. without booster, theres no dark alex ;).

2007-02-24 18:43:01

OK, Now after reading about 50 friggin hours of these psp hacks This is what I believe.. First, if you have a psp and updated it to 3.11, NOT DArkAlEx 3.11oe, your screwed. The new sony 3.11 makes the psp see the files as corrupt even though they are not.
The autoloader availble online doesnt work for updated psp’s. ONCE AGAIN it will NOT work if you have updated your psp to the 3.11 provided by sony. you will NEVER be able to use homebrew. There is NO DOWNGRADER available, PERIOD for the psp with 3.11 firmware GET IT?

I am 3.10 OE-A’ firmware user…. and yes you read that right A’ I’ve applied the patch and I still have several games that it will not load. ie metal slug 6 NFS carbon Burnout legends etc. I’ve been waiting for this because currently I’m using a modded devhook .46, and when I leave the XMB and try to reboot it gives me nothing but a black screen unless I take the battery out for a few mins. So yes THANK YOU BOOSTER 3.10 OE-A’ is not the be all end all. Atleast not yet, I’m sure DA has a release on the horizon

Comment by 3CD0Widow
2007-02-25 17:35:24

NFS Carbon and Burnout legends work flawless on 3.03 OE-B so dont know why its not working for you on 3.10 OE :/

You must be just a noob with OE firmware, I’ve never had to use devhook with 3.03 OE-B :p

out of dev from 310 press r.

The chance of bricking while upping to an OE firmware are the same as the chances of bricking whilst downgrading to 1.50 in the first place :)

Was I suppose to run the PSAR Dumper first before I run the 3.11 FW Update?!?!

Because I updated the FW to 3.11, then run the PSAR dumper, and now the devhook or the PSAR Dumper won’t work….it said “The game could not be started”.

What can I do now!??!…Am I screwed?!?!
