dark alex si goign to own this firmware adn make 3.30OE!!!
first of all Alex does NOT make custom fw for all of them. -.-
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!
His IQ=175
Mine=142
your IQ - 12
lol
dark alex where a u man
do it quikly
oh this firmware is amizing!!!
mmf
sly
Wow learn to fucking type you inbred shiteater.
fuck you you fucking fuck.
There sounds like a couple of small nice usability tweaks in this update. But yeah I’ll wait for Dark Alex to hack it.
ooh Dark_Alex, N00bz and Team C+D!…. time for some work!
can’t wait!
gl with it
a few hours ago the new update 3.30 was avalable on network download and a few hours later 3.30OEA was avalbile to download HAHAHAHA! u know it will happen. go DARK ALEX!
ya looks like there adding a few new features, fingers crossed we will get a realy good multimedia unit by fw version 4.0 ;]
cant wait^^ till its hackt^^
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. :)
(btw, I said don’t bash sony for future posters…cause you know it’ll happen. :p)
finaly i was about to sell my psp and hopefully sony will send out new games cuz im getting bored of metal gear portable ops and Dark_alex please crack this thing fast i dont have web browser on my psp theres something wrong with the las OE i just wanted to wait for the next one
Dark_alex 3.30 Open Edition A, Anyone
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!
holy sh** 720×480- vids….
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.
nothing too exciting on this release, i thought they added video compatibilty for a second… guess its just a dream.
Face it sony will never give up these days but still it might have some things different that i would like to see in a custom firmware
Wooo hooo, Daaaark Aaaaalexxx?? we need you dude!!
Winer!
omg, is full screen video playback now supported? they added it at last??
BTW holy crap 720×480 O_O
the load times are also alot faster for the disks. i might just update, just might. unless a3.10 downer and a custom come out soon ;)
Are you silly or just stupid?? DON’T EVER, EVER update with a Sony update. Wait, just wait. The more you update, the longer you will have to wait.
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
Until next year of course lol
w00t Right befor I came online I was wishing there was an update :D
hopefully dark_alex has time during his spring break to code this shit into custom fw or something.
dark alex has a life… -.-
no he doesn’t!
its a consperacy dax is runned by sony to get you guys to buy a psp. will i have reason to belive this, just look at my long comment on the bottom of this page.
AWESOME cant w8 for the CFW
ooo high res, gotta update rite now, jk lol im not stupid noob jst a not smart one lol
Amen.
3.30 OE-A is near !!! I’am sure of it !!!
all 3.30 will not come fast JUST LIKE WE STILL WAITING FOR 3.11 I KNOW YOU ALL WHERE ALL LIKE XDR IS GOING TO DO IT . THERE NOT ONE DOWNGRADE FOR 3.11 SO WHAT MAKES OYU THINK HE WILL TRY THIS
You fucktard, there was no 3.11 because there was hardly any difference to justify making a custom firmware.
You make hardly enough sense to be flamed.
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!
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.
others will carry on where DA left off
3.11 has no new features, why hack it mate?
better to wait for new features like in 3.30
Rgr that!
hear hear!
this update is so useless
omg, is full screen video playback now supported? they added it at last??
BTW holy crap 720×480 O_O
–Its 480×272
all 3.30 will not come fast JUST LIKE WE STILL WAITING FOR 3.11 I KNOW YOU ALL WHERE ALL LIKE XDR IS GOING TO DO IT . THERE NOT ONE DOWNGRADE FOR 3.11 SO WHAT MAKES OYU THINK HE WILL TRY THIS
–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?
Be warned, upgrading will render your PSP useless;}
a true brick, right? :)
well if did not release 3.11 whaty makes oyu think he would do for this.
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.
Dark_Alex & Noobz …………..!!! We Are Waiting …… lead Us……
whats up with 480 x 272 is that good
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…
Yeah,, you are Right my man
guy’s take ur time and make a nice pice of work of it :)
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.
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.
screw chuck norris, he’s surpassed the only other being that is surpassable in this world [that beats the hell out of CN]….the 1970’s Miami Dolphins ;)
LMAO nice…what about mean joe…he was pretty great…
c’mon…everyone knows that chuck norris’ beard instantly impregnated a bunch of nuns when he stepped into a convent in florida and they gave birth to the 1970 miami dolphins…get your facts straight squid :)
How long must we age this war? When will there be peace between Sony and Hackers?
DA, u r god, we trust u, and i am sure u will deliver
…ya know…as soon as Dark_Alex or any1 hack this version, they will bring out 3.31…Sony may as well give up with all this unhackable stuff and alow homebrew!!!!!
i cant wait ’till 3.3 gets pwned!
naaa,, it not about that man
if thay do that then you’ll get PSP’s thats been compleetly modefide not just the software but also tha hardware.
hmmm maybe after its hacked and all bugs r squezzed out maybe ill accually leave 1.50 and go to 3.3oe
u should have already left ;p
…where’s R10 already *refresh**refresh*
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.
hasnt dark alex retired??
*SLAP*—that’s for blasphemy!
yea i have made a downgrader for 3.11 i just dont know how to let outher people download it i used an old downgrader and changed a file so it would work on 3.11 to some help of the deycripter
…if ur smart enough to make a downgrader im pretty sure ud be smart enought to upload it somewhere…
Good point lol
im really hopeing dark alex will make a oe 3.3 but hey i was on and than like 5 min l8r the new update so i dont think hes that fast much less he even knows its out yet but i want to contact him about my downgrader
i have 1 question can i make it by a hck or wut i want it to sey fw w/e like 9999
your asking how to change your firmware appearance?……..and saying you have a downgrader, if this is so true, then contact the admin of the site or we will discredit you with displaying bull-shit
I dont think he knows what he is talking about
did i miss an update between 3.10 oe-a and3.30??
3.11
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.
Woot!!!! lets just hope they left it easy to decrypt still
whean i asked how to make it sey stuff is like where under system info it ses fw 3.03 oe-c can i change it to sey 999 or w/e
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).
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
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…
is there a version of psp video that supports the 480×272? I assume there isn’t support for 720×480 yet
http://www.pspvideo9.com/
answered my own question :)
o_O So you’re talking to yourself? On a comment list? :p
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.
i neet help
my latest fw was 3.10 oe”
now with the update to 3.3 i cant play isos with my psp
why they dont have any iso support?
because, it’s NOT custom firmware, you just updated to an official firmware, so no ISO’s until a downgrader comes out
for your own good, i hope you’re a fake
if you’re not, maaaaan u r so fkd!
I do think he is just joking
he need to first downgrade to 1.5 and then upgrade again.. or else if he upgrade from OE, an error code “dadadada” would appear
Finally something to look forward to.
OMG!
I just can’t wait to see all those thumbnails in my psp!!
i’m sooooo upgrading right now….
NOT!
D: damn already? Now we actually have a reason to give up our custom topmenus… i hope dark alex can figure out a way around it soon…
ok i have 311 now and cant upgrade also i had a ta082 downgraded any help
When the hell is sony going to make more video compatabilities like .avi, mpeg, ex….. well sony takes to long to to work on something…..
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.
PLEASE Help I really want to upgrade and it wont let me I thenk its because I have a Downgraded TA082 or its Pacthed PLEASE SOME HELP
man u must hack this shit like others sony firmware this shitty sony will get fuckd it’s da normal u know…
You all know that the firmware needs to be decrypted first before anyone can make an OE of it. Use some common sense on a roll please.
Not much new in this update…so DA take your time…Your a good guy…some call you god…I call you leetsauce mcmaster A …Just kidding…I wonder what he has been doing on the PSP scene anyone know?
well stupid me i got pissed at my computer so i compleatly destroyd my mouse so well i cant do much right now im useing my keybord as a mouse and if u think im bullshittn there also than just say so n ill tell u how i use my keybored as a mouse i gata use my frends mouse 1ce he gets back… fudge…. yea they want tester downgraders? cool ill have them try it out and i did make it i just use some 1s project and fixed it so it uses a prx for 3.11 but i have a question i have an idea where a downgrader that u run as a update (pbp) and it (downgrades it) in a all in 1
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.
