Custom Firmware 1.50 Increasing Edition B Update2

greg | March 11, 2007

Add a little pizazz to your PSP with a new custom firmware from developer becus25; who has actually a number of PSP developments notched in the ol’ homebrew belt (see source link).

Custom Firmware 1.50 Increasing Edition B (IE B Update2) extends the functionality of 1.50 by adding new functions and configurable options. Lets take a closer look at the general/recovery features:

General functions:

  • Hide corrupt icons.
  • Skip Sony logo.
  • You can start non-kxploited eboots.
  • You can start modules.
  • Contains two recovery menus. If it does not detect one, it loads the other.

Recovery functions:

  • Recover a semi-bricked PSP.
  • USB mode.
  • Personalize the XMB.
  • Toggle amongst 3 XMB icon styles on your memory stick.

The recovery console caught my attention with the granted ability to easily customize the look & feel of your XMB. Copy modified .rco file(s) to ms0:/ieflash and perform the actual flash via recovery. In order to recover from a semi-bricked PSP, copy an official Sony firmware update to ms0:/psp/game/ierecovery. I’d of course recommend using the 1.50 EBOOT.

As with any custom firmware… USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Everything else, look at “readme.txt.” Read it thoroughly!

Props becus25.

Yes, interesting, good to see other people working on the development, but why go backwards and not forwards? All this stuff is already available in 3.10 OE and there’s still room for improvement there and forward. Why make stuff that’s already been done when the latest OE firmware has all the functions this thing is working on?

Is anyone actually going to get rid of their 3.xx OE firmware to use this thing??

I don’t get it. Why the fuck would anyone want this shit? 3.10 OE is best.

If you ever make a little house out of toothpicks, and Vinci does too, and I say yours looks like shit just because I’m comparing it to Da Vinci’s, how would you feel?

Let me tell you something, you negatively criticize someone else’s work, but you should remember that this is how everyone starts. You should not call this a piece of shit because then you are comparing it with other more experienced works which OBVIOUSLY are more advanced. The only thing you are doing is criticizing the developer telling him that he can’t do anything good when it comes to Custom Firmwares. I wish you could be a developer so you could really see what it involves.

So grow up and don’t be a dick.

Good Job becus25! Keep it up, I see promise in your skills. I like the thing about the two recovery menus. Very nice, let’s see what you’ll come up with next.

2007-03-11 20:47:44

You know what? You’re right. I’m sorry for being such a dick about everything. I mean, who am I to insult that which is “medeocre: (for lack of better word) when I don’t know shit about coding and can’t do any better.

I know a few people who won’t budge from 1.5, this is just something for them to play with.

C’mon give the guy a pat on the back for at least dipping his toes in the firmware pond..

Comment by Umm.. WTF?
2007-03-11 18:41:09

the only damn excuse most have is they dont want to flash (again)… yet they will flash other bs 1.5 cfw’s?? WTF :|

 
 
Comment by Jiss
2007-03-11 16:57:40

I think everyone should broaden their horizon about other programmers and depend less on DAX. If we never try the other custom firmwares we would never be able to experience the uniqueness of the other custom firmwares.

Comment by Umm.. WTF?
2007-03-11 18:41:42

why flash fw’s for NO REASON? But, by all means, giver.

This will help to discover a 3.10 DOWNGRADE??

2007-03-11 17:11:51

are you an idiot this has nothing to do with downgrading this is for hardecore 1.5 junkies that wont move from 1.5 cuz they dont know what there missing out on has nothing to do with a downgrader

 
Comment by Tim
2007-03-11 17:15:59

these updates are good, although i’m not gonna use ‘em, it might turn into something better. we can’t just rely on DAX. what if he gets run over?!?!

Comment by Umm.. WTF?
2007-03-11 18:42:43

then we are stuck with his last release until someone can pickup from where he left off, and not use usless 1.5 variations that improve on nothing and lack almost everything!

I wouldnt mind using this if there was a way to bypass the ISO FW check. So i can play all my game of MS on it :D i like 1.50 better still for some reasons O_o

Comment by Cloudhunter
2007-03-11 19:44:04

Even if that was possible, chances are the ISO’s wouldn’t work because of needing higher version modules in the firmware.

great effort i wont be using it but the good thing is people are using their knowledge to try to add a bit of variety to the modding scene keep it up and to all the twats who are flaming this, when you can do this open your mouth until then go jump

the only thing you update for is to play the latest games and you sont update because you want homebrew the best and only solution is 3.10OE WHY GO BACK TO 1.5 JUST TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR XMB AND Have 2 recovery menus he should waste his time trying other things but the custom firmware business is already taken.

2007-03-11 21:28:07

Skipping this..but your hard work is noticed.. no need to use this as 3.03+ OE software is more beneficial.

Leave the guy alone, fcks sake! OK so I think that DA’s 3.x firmwares do this already,but what we gonna do when DA finally gives up and moves on eh? We’re gonna need people like this guy to write the new breed of firmwares, they won’t bother if everytime they try you shout ‘em down with abuse.

My question is..why is anyone still on 1.50? They’re either to dumb to upgrade their system or their completely retarded in thinking “If I upgrade, i’ll just be like everyone else..a follower”. F’in A, grow up people. This isn’t middle-school anymore, people don’t care if you “follow” what they do anymore these days. 3.03OE-C is better than anything 1.50 can do.

Now if someone were to create a homebrew or app. that could attract women but it was only on 1.50 I could understand people still useing 1.50. Otherwise? It’s useless.

coz some of us might be scared of shittin their psp as theres always a chance.. no matter how small.

if your 1.50 psp is not customized with icons, fonts other stuff and you are not n00b and now how to upgrade you have a change of 99.99% of successfull upgrade… it’s a simple flash… if you haven’t CUSTOM FIRMWARE 100.00% your psp will brick if you flash lot’s of times !!!

I think 3.10 oe is better for the simple reason that the 3.10 firmware has more upgrades from SONY that of 1.50, am i right?
More compatability for PSX etc…

I have a wealth of knowledge about my PSP and have sent it through many phases. I still run 1.50 and use DH for other perks. What is one reason why someone would stay with 1.50 and not use any Custom OE’s besides nostalgia?

Comment by LastmanOut
2007-03-13 12:39:37

Weren’t the 3.XX OE custom firmwares designed to incorporate the best of both 1.50 and 3.01- 3.10 ? Why would you want to emulate the firmware (OS) and then run stuff off it? Wouldn’t it be better to run it natively without the need to first fire up the emulated enviroment just to play a game?

Comment by Koitsu
2007-03-14 04:00:31

Exactly, 1.50 is outdated. Anyone still running 1.50 on their PSP is in need of some desperate medical attention.

So could someone explain to me why i should downgrade my 3.10 OE firmware to a 1.50 with a few minor abilities and miss out on playing all those ISO’s and such?

what the hell is a semi bricked PSP anyways? just do what i did get 3.10 OE-A’

Comment by Mavrick
2007-03-16 03:35:09

Semi-Bricked means that you can turn it on while holding the right shoulder button to bring up a rescue menu. This is a function of the firmwares like 2.71 OE, 3.03, and 3.10 OE’s. Sometimes something goes wrong and this menu can fix it.
