He might make a new CFW for this update, it is big enough of an update. He might be working on a new feature first though.
Still, you can never know what he’s thinking, he’s a genius!

Hmm, sounds interesting. ^_^
Hope DA does his charm, and it’ll be even better if we can customize XMB and whole kit-kaboodle like 3.03.

Also, Don’t bash Sony plz…They’re doing their part as a corp to put the security updates through, but also putting work into new features. So Sony F/W + DA’s contribution = Sexy PSP for us. :)

Let;s just hope that Dark_Alex finds the “backdoor” at this latest firmware so that 3.10/3.11 users will have a downgrader!

Comment by Uberman
2007-03-28 17:24:15

Nos sure what is so impressive about that. The PSP screen is 480×272, so anything larger than that is just going to consume more space on the memory stick, and just be downscaled on the screen anyway.

I’m watching full-screen (480×272) now with homebrew.

Comment by drmadcow
2007-03-28 23:38:40

exactly. If I was stuck with a 3.10 I sure as hell wouldn’t update. A downgrader will be out eventually it always does but if your impatient you’ll probally get screwed

Comment by dongmonster22
2007-03-28 16:20:22

You fucktard, there was no 3.11 because there was hardly any difference to justify making a custom firmware.

Fuck, even coders have lives.. I’m sure DA doesn’t want to spend every last minute of his friggin free time customing each and every last update Sony puts out. This update has some actually useful features, so, someone will probably make a custom. So SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Comment by villa
2007-04-02 11:24:53

actually why would dax care about customizing this update i mean come on dax only cares about a ps1 emu and customization and homebrew. why would he make a 3.30oea for. my guess is that he wont make another oea until 4.xx or maybe a 3.10oe-b.

–3.11 has already been hacked, DA found it to be so pointless, that he never released it.

I expect we will have a new CF by the morning… at least I really really hope so.
I was just thinking on my way home, (Like 5 minutes ago.) When is Sony going to release a new firmware so we can hack it?

Comment by spring break niggah!!!
2007-03-28 16:30:10

the only reason why there isnt a 3.11custom fw is because the changes were so minor it was pointless. dark_alex did however make a plugin for popstation since that was the only thing worth paying attention to.

just some info for the noobs who keep bitching.

it sometimes just bothers me to see how many fellas here take for granted someone else’s work. like a sort of “where the hell is my new cfw?!” or “are we done with the new cfw yet?” I would actually feel less motivated if people were to talk about my hard work this way…

Dont get too carried away now noobs what makes yall think that DAX is going to release a firmware for 3.30. I dont think yall have figured this out but cracking these security codes isnt as easy as you all think. Dax cant just snap his fingers and create a 3.30 like nothing. Besides he already gave us a fully working psx program how many more things can he give us right away.

Comment by DAX Worshipper
2007-03-28 17:34:31

Don’t be silly. Of course DAX can just snap
his fingers and crack security codes.

IMHO, he has surpassed the greatness of Chuck Norris.

Really, though, I know it’s not simple, but I believe DAX is good enough to do it. He’s skilled.

Yeah, seriously, rafi, take the leap to custom FW… Even if 3.30 OE doesn’t come out, upgrade to 3.03 OE-C or something, it’s totally worth it.

Well iam running 3.030ec. and like it lots. Now take ur time DAX or other hackers to hacks this firmware to make it good like 3.03oec as that is a darn good CFW better than 3.11 CFW.

Comment by PSP
2007-03-28 20:17:51

Ya, but you might have to modify your flash or something… I don’t know exactly how you could change it but with XFlash you were able to, but it isn’t compatible with 3.03 OE-C, but I think there’s a program called OECustomizer or something thats made just for OE and you can do that (I think).

 
 
Comment by zachary
2007-03-28 19:38:37

and i dont know if the downgrader works yet i have 3.03 oe-c and i dont even wana update so i will downgrade my frends whean he gets back from spring break

Comment by Squidman
2007-03-28 20:10:14

1) vshctrl.prx is where you’ll find that, and you should know this if you made a downgrader

2) ask for a beta tester on the forum….there’s ppl always asking for a downgrader there, so release it and see the attention you get…..

until then, basically bull-shit being as you have no creations [to my knowladge] in the homebrew community and i have never heard of you before…

I really hope DA makes a 3.30 OE, because I really hate having to put my full-length movies (which are in the weird AVC format) into the 100ANV01 folder with the weird filename where I can’t even tell what it is from the filename… If that happens, it will be worth it for me to update and lose topmenu icons in my opinion.

now with the update to 3.3 i cant play isos with my psp

why they dont have any iso support?

Comment by Squidman
2007-03-28 20:24:44

because, it’s NOT custom firmware, you just updated to an official firmware, so no ISO’s until a downgrader comes out

Ps. cant wait for the next gen of psp that I hear rumors is going to have alot of internal flash memory. Which was sony’s first mistake when making the psp….. Uptades will end soon for the psp since the psp is lacking internal Flash0.

Comment by PSP
2007-03-29 16:32:39

It’s not that simple, be happy we can downgrade through exploits we find like GTA and TIFF exploit, because if we could only downgrade by running an EBOOT.PBP, we would NEVER have a downgrader, trust me.

Hi All,

Just noticed that for those have whatever version of OE custom firmware…. you cannot even upgrade to 3.30….. the PSP will report some rubbish like “seems like you are not using an official firmware…. you cannot upgrade…” so I don’t really care if the features are interesting….

You have to bring your F/W back to 1.5 before you can update to 3.3 ^_^;

so like…. where did firmware 3.12 through 3.29 go??? do they just like… randomly chose the next number???

Comment by Mr. Vage
2007-03-29 15:52:00

Its not random. It’s how the version numbering works. The first number is the Major Version number. If that changes, something big has changed (usu. multiple things). The second digit is the Minor Version, which means that something has changed but its not a big enough change to make it a major version. The third digit is the Revision, that changes when nothing noticeable to the user changes (such as a security update) or if it is a minor bug fix.

I can’t hear this cries for 3.30 OE-A any time more.

NOW and for ALL:
IT’S ALREADY DECRYPTET ON MY HDD!
The 3.30 OE-A is already on my second PSP. I’M working for user friendly installer, not like these other ones!
But im not sure, that i release the new CFW in the internet, because there aren’t many changes… like at 3.10!

Hmm don’t mean to diss you or anything if you are the real DA….but does DA really have that bad of spelling and grammer given his immense hacking skills….and if you did have it decrypted and are working on user friendly installer. WHy wouldn’t you release it …Your famous among us…hell even news reports were done about how you and those other teams are beating sony.
Not releasing this won’t be proof that you’ve done it. I’ve heard you did do 3.11 but didn’t release it due to uselessness…That’s understandable but wheres the proof that you did…also this comment maker thing can let you type in any name. Who knows if it isn’t a desperate cry for attention from some loser?

What worries me most is that if $ony use this “detection” method to future games will make OE cant run new games!

May be but the CFW dont let you upgrade with sony oficial then you have to downgrade to sony oficial 1.5 and then you can upgrade for any other oficial sony even if new FW bloking the upgrade from 1.5 to 3.10 for example and then with the new FW…

3.10 OEA’ -> 1.50 -> 3.10 ->3.30 (CANNOT!)
Now his PSP got stuck on 3.10

someone needs to make plugins to expand video compatablity, something like CW cheat having its own folder in /PLUGINS but for additional video codecs (to keep it simple for people who dont want to flash the files to their psp)
ive been wanting to rip some DVD’s to my PSP straight up for along while without having to wait for video converters to screw the video up

Personally after reading these SELFISH GREEDY IMPATIENT comments, if i was DAX i’d remove iso emulation. Sure backing up UMDs is ok but most people here dont own many to back up anyway, and if they did well its not THAT hard to carry a few extra umds right? Better that way than sony giving up on PSP altogether i think. If they did well eventually it’ll be out of sonys hands, every psp will eventually be hacked and running pirated games, its inevitable.

Comment by BluePoet
2007-03-29 16:07:12

If this is a serious post, you are a moron. Go to the forums, where they explain, as apparently must be done again, that you can’t downgrade from 3.11.

If this is not serious, not funny.

By the way, stop making demands of DAX. We are all fans, but the guy has no obligation to undertake very difficult programming for us. Be grateful for what you already have, and stop badgering the guy.

Im going to have to say that Im suprised its FW 3.30 and not 3.50. Sony must be planning something big for 3.50. It would be cool for the CFW of 3.30, but if Dark_slaex is thinking what Im thinking, he might wait till 3.50 comkes out till he makes the CFW.

it would seem that if you had memory stick custom firmware (MSCF), it could have its own genuine firmware decryptor and updater.

heres the advantage of MSCF vs custom firmware: custom firmware uses the psps internal flash 21 mb (kinda small) MSCF is limited to the memory stick size, UP TO 8 GB ( A WHOLE LOT MORE SPACE)!!!! DAX should just free up the flash space for something else

Comment by Squidman
2007-03-29 20:33:47

it’s not just as easy as saying “free up flash space”, some things are importan and somethings may not seem as important as others but are required for said others to run, like you CAN get rid of the photo icons functionality, but there’s 3 files that must go

 
Comment by villa
2007-04-02 11:19:23

what exactly do you mean free up the flash space. the flash space only has 22mb of memory and theres only about 200kb of free space left over in it on 3.10oea every file in there is emportant they make up everything that you see running on your psp screen. baisically at the most you can only free up 1mb with this one xploit they found in all the gta disks but even if one of those files exeds there proper limit things can get a little hicktic. like when i used a custom xmb background that was 200+kb the icons on the screen turned into white boxes.

480 x 272 was never Full Screen Video, its just that the software Expands the Picture to fill the whole screen, Hence this Update will improve the quality of the Video / Film’s Resolution by alot More, it may take up more space on our Memory Sticks Sadly though………:(

when it is hacked, all the newbies will be saying how the security sucks
but they must think of one thing, if they change the security too much, the PSP will not be able to get past it

think of it like this:
you have a safe with a lock, you get a better lock, but are stuck with the same key
that key wont open the new lock
if they come out with a new generation of PSP, they will come out with a better firmware security and a new method of encryption that might not get hacked for a year or more, and you will all have a red faces from that bitch-smack

does sony support custom firmwares yes or no???
this is a question that i was wondering about last night. ok guys before yall start calling me out read this first ok. ok so sony is a chinese ran company. the chinese make the psp consoles. every time you guys buy a psp they make 100$ or so. now china doesnt support other countrys bullshit, meaning that they dont by american cars or xbox or anything american made or even made by other countrys. now sony makes the psp but who is making the games for the psp? is china making games for the psp? if they are do they account for a very small percentage of it? and is america and europe making all those umd games. ok so lets say i downgrade my psp and i take it to sschool and then my friend sees me playing resident evil 1 and he says cool how do you get that game to play on the psp, and then i start talking to him about downgrading,homebrew,and custom firmwares. them my friend says cool can you downgrade my psp and i say sure. then someone comes along and says so if i buy a psp it like if i were to buy all the game consoles because of the emulators, and i say yes. then that third person buys a psp. thats 100$ sony made right there. then we all start downloading games for free we all make accounts with pspblender.com and get the torrents and start downloading. then the companys that are making the games for the psp are losing money because were not buying there umds. now is sony at all making umds or are they making a very small amount of umds. because im sure that europe and america are probably making tons of umds and sony is just makeing money off those psp that we buy to just downgrade. now all the games taht dax offers use such as ps1. those games are old and they are too old to actually hurt companys when we pirate them. the same goes for all the other games for all these emulatores that we got so far. Now sony is ran by chinese, chinese are asians, asians are the smartest people in the world. but yet they keep getting there security codes for the psp cracked withing a matter of seconds, minutes, days. now on firmware 1.00 and 1.50 the ability to run unsigned codes was never patched up this is a big mistake that was never takin into consideration by sony. but yet the asians are the smartest people in the world how could they have never thought about piracy. now lets talk about another issue. say this to yourself “WHO THE FUCK IS DAX” hmm lets see he happens to be some guy who creats downgraders and custom firmwares. You know it seems that this guy can do these things by simply snaping his fingers. and this strmn guy working on the n64 emu. and all these other programers working on all this emus. who knows if all these programers are actualy being payed by sony to do all this for at the most dax,strmn, there probably with sony hell if anything there asians who live in china and work at the sony companie. well thats all i got to say what do you guys think plz reply with your oppinon.

Uh.. Im not sure what you’re trying to say with that comment – It sure is big – But I think one thing is important – I dont believe at any stage has DAx suggested that his firmware is used for piracy – I believe you’ll find he, along with the other developers of the OE firmware stand strong to the point that it’s intended for Homebrew Development and Execution. If you can do anything related to piracy, that just happens to be your “good luck”

Comment by villa
2007-04-03 09:32:42

well of course doesnt mention that his firmware is used for piracy. he is just like the noobs team he only says that to save his own ass. he gets other people to say that his firmware is used for piracy. well piracy or not what ever dax made the oe firmware for doesnt matter. the fact of the matter is that an oe has the ability for piracy and thats all that matters. no running away from this dax doesnt matter if you say its not used for piracy.
