    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!

    There sounds like a couple of small nice usability tweaks in this update. But yeah I’ll wait for Dark Alex to hack it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    2007-03-29 19:03:38

    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.

    –Its 480×272

    –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…

    2007-03-28 20:15:22

    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.

    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?

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
