Custom Firmware 1.62 IE A Update2 Released

greg | April 14, 2007

becus25 is back with a new custom firmware for the PSP. Previously 1.62 IE A Update1 was the cause of a few bricks; however, those issues have been isolated and addressed in Update2. Despite the fact, bricking is always an involved risk when flashing the firmware, you can take another step of precaution by carefully reading the included documentation.

General functions:

  • Hide corrupt icons.
  • Skip Sony (SCE) 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.
  • You can change the CPU clock speed in VSH/XMB by pressing HOME+SELECT.
  • Software system version displays 1.62 IE A.
  • Recovery and the XMB estan now fused. (?)
  • Added security to the flasher to ensure a non-brick.

Recovery functions:

  • You will be able to recover a semi-bricked PSP.
  • Toggle USB.
  • You can personalize XMB.
  • You can activate/deactivate Autoboots (put the autoboot on \psp\game\boot\eboot.pbp ) from recovery without any kept configuration file.
  • Recovery mode is now structured like a menu.

Kudos becus25 — great work.

I wouldn’t dream on making a custom firmware. Dark Alex’s is perfect. Its up to date and supports 1.5 in one firmware. No bricks or anything. If you get bricked, your an idiot that deserved it and shouldn’t rely on newbs like this guys shitware. We should all should all be helping the real champion of psp hacks.

I agree. What the hell have you contributed to the PSP homebrew scene that was as (if not more) complex than making a custom firmware?
Stop downplaying people’s significant contributions to the PSP scene and support all of our talented programmers who actually gave a crap about the PSP and dedicated their time, personal lives, and effort in the creation of something that might actually be of some use to somebody, unlike your criticism.
Pompous ass.

hmm.. i think all is kl but i also think u should stop updating this and cum n make cfw’s for new fw version like 3.30. you’ve learnt how to make cfw which is a big achievment, hell i cant do it tho i could if i learnt programming (which im starting to do) but if u start making newer fw’s tht wud b soo kl!!

lol, so much hate on this!

But back to the main topic, does this only do things 1.62 and below? If so then why is it here? no one uses 1.50 any more!

This is a pretty sweet update, but alas everyone is waiting for the 3.3OE-A CFW…so this will get overlooked as usual…

uhgggg…stop hating on beckus, at least he can do it… i figured out what was wrong with it as soon as it semi-bricked my psp… just not done! give it time, way to go beckus, but make more changes so these fuckers will understand!

2007-04-14 19:37:48

at least i was smart enough to put another fw which writes to 1.5 to un-brick it!

LOL
I’m not sure if a lot of people understand your question.
Allow me to try and clarify.
If you are asking if you can downgrade from a bricked 3.10 PSP to a 1.62, then your answer would be no. A bricked PSP isn’t much use at all, unless you have an Undiluted Platinum PSP Modchip, which may be able to “unbrick” your PSP. However, I have never tried this. Someone else may have had some experience with this.

here is what i think about this upgrade. its good to see a 4rth party working on custom firmwares. but this firmware really doesnt do much. the things that it can do isnt really a games on experience unlike 3.xxoe. plus there are more than average bricks trying to update to this firmware compared to an oe wich has almost no bricks at all. i think this update should have just been posted as news instead of a download. well keep up the cfw program writing dude and surely youll get more attention when you realease features that will distinguish your firmware from an oe. like wep key bypass, that sure would be good. and multie format player and increased enternet reciption and have the ability to actually watch movies on you tube threw the psp or movies anywhere on the enternet. or increased reciption for the infrared on the irshell, damn ide like to see that. also extra icons on the xmb. if you can get the halo demo trial version to run on the psp with enternet play you would domenate the homebrew scene for a while. well keep up the good work. and remember “things that will distinguish your cfw from dax’s cfw.

Comment by villa
2007-04-14 20:43:52

oh one more things that i would like to see added on the psp. an extra icon on the psp’s xmb that makes other psp’s shut off. you know utolize that psp’s infrared to send a wireless signal to another psp to freeze or shut off.hahahahahahaha. take it too school and everybody would be like what the fuck my psp is broken.hahahah kick ass. that is somethng we would all love to see…. make this possibly and youll have everyone updating to your cfw.

Comment by villa
2007-04-14 20:49:55

you know what else would distingush your cfw. when you turn on the psp have it go to a screen that resembles a windows computer on start up. with all the icons such as my computer, my documents and so on. and to scroll threw the screen you simply utolize a mouse and the square button can be your left click on the circle button can be your right click. damn man just add this features and well all be updating to your cfw. but if dax does this first well all be hooray dax did it again. but then again who is even listening to me?????????????? but you gotta admit this are some kick ass things ive listed.

WEP key bypass? Good luck with that. Sure they’re crackable but you can’t get the psp to just ignore it.

If dark alex really did brick his psp, YOu would think a dude so noble and awsome as he is would have installed a modchip so he cant brick during testing his firmwares

Comment by villa
2007-04-14 20:51:33

here is the problem. dax’s psp bricked because of a hardware failure with his up chip. pretty ironic isnt is. not excatly the type of response you were expecting right?

ok since i couldnt contact psp-hacks.com ill write it here here are some ideas for new stuff for the psp idk if u guys have it alrdy

1 stream videos online
2 xbox 1 emulater if u did ps1 cant u do xbox?
3 mini pc program like windows
4 hows bout a dj mixer beat box program using your own tracks?
5 a program to listen to music anytime u want even in games and when using internet browser etc
6 ds emulater
7 ps2 emulater
8 program to send music and videos even iso wifi like
9 program that makes ps1 games etc wifi
10 pc emulaterm makes pc games onto the psp i would love it to be wifi to
11 program to raise volume on psp its kinda low
12 program to make psp wifi farther
13 xbox 360 or ps3 emulater i doubt the psp could handle it
14 this is a question why not try using a newer video card and install it on the psp somehow
15 program that fakes your memory card and makes it bigger than it actually is

Comment by villa
2007-04-14 21:21:53

nice listings. if you look a little above you would see my post with what i want to see on a cfw. now for num#2 xbox games will take up a lot of memory you are going to need a 4gig just for one game, possibly even more. assuming your downloading a full game. but then again if that does happen the graphics arent going to be crystal clear.

Comment by lightcloud007
2007-04-14 21:23:54

i hope ppl of psp-hacks at least reads that and thanks i noe that thats y i think a program that fakes your memory card into thinking its bigger would work

I wouldn’t hold my breath for a xbox 1 emulator. The psp has a 333Mhz processor, whereas the xbox has a 733Mhz processor. Not only that, as far as I know, the instruction set of the psp is totally different from the xbox so when that happens you need about 8 times faster for emulation so its just never going to happen, ps2 on the other hand was 300Mhz, so who knows.
Just as an aside, apparently the psone was a 33Mhz monster, so if thats anything to go on I really wouldn’t hold my breath of ps2 emu either.

As for your last request 0.o I don’ think that software has a say in the size of a memory card, damn pesky laws of physics and all that…

 
Comment by Incredulous
2007-04-14 22:06:37

Most of these are pretty much impossible. X-box emulator? Not even the same console generation as PS1 so why compare. PS2 emulator? That’s practically what the PSP is anyway, but it’s still not as powerful as the PS2 so it aint happenin’. PC emulator? Maybe an old 386 PC, but even then probably not, and why? Change video cards? Sure, I’ll just plug in my Radeon x1900 and carry that around connected to something that couldn’t possibly power it. What drugs do you take? I want some. It must be nice to live that far from reality.

hahaha xbox emulator??? youre a dickhead and should look up more info on the psp and the system you want to be emulated on the psp.. you should have asked for a wii emulator while youre at it fucking douchebag and no fucking wonder no one answered your gay email they were probably laughing at you stupid ass looking at each and onbe of your retarded requests

1 Done
2 Impossible
3 Maybe PocketPc stuff could be run or linux
4 Done
5 Done
6 Maybe possible if you used the analogue for touchscreen? I don’t know DS specs.
7 Possible if Sony made it
8 I’m pretty sure that exists
9 Would probably need to be made by sony
10 Completely imposssible
11 Hardware limitation
12 Hardware limitation
13 Of course it can’t
14 Stupid
15 Completely retarded

Wait here’s one better.

1 Look for it, it’s out there.
2 IMPOSSIBLE
3 Agree with maybe a Windows Pocket PC lightweight or Linux lightweight. Win95 was ported and it plained Sucked ass as it barely ran.
4 Look for it, it’s out there.
5 PRX plug-in for CFW.
6 Maybe possible if you used the analogue for touchscreen? I don’t know DS specs. That and seconldy you would need an emulater that splits the psp screen in half for emulating the two screens of the DS. Real bright idea.
7 Possible if Sony made it, but as it is since the PS3 is still fresh and barely out the door in some parts of the world, it probably wouldn’t come anyday soon. Maybe in like the next version of the psp or two? Don’t hold your breathe.
8 I’m pretty sure that exists
9 Would probably need to be made by sony
10 You must be smoking some real good shit man, a pc emulator, and then take an average game and install that on the psp and run it effectively? Must be some high-priced smack.
11 Hardware limitation
12 Hardware limitation
13 Start holding your breathe waiting for it..Start now.
14 & 15 Please see answer 13.

what?^^

ok since i couldnt contact psp-hacks.com ill write it here here are some ideas for new stuff for the psp idk if u guys have it alrdy

1 stream videos online – possible but probably more likely as an offiial patch
2 xbox 1 emulater if u did ps1 cant u do xbox? – Not gonna happen mate, psp is not powerfull enough. also sony did ps1 NOT Dax
3 mini pc program like windows – you can already but its slooooow
4 hows bout a dj mixer beat box program using your own tracks? – Thats not really a CFW feature, more of a homebrew app
5 a program to listen to music anytime u want even in games and when using internet browser etc – You can find that as a plugin on this site
6 ds emulater – can see this one happening as it has 2 screens
7 ps2 emulater – See XBox Q
8 program to send music and videos even iso wifi like – I think there is a tiff program that will do that for you
9 program that makes ps1 games etc wifi
10 pc emulaterm makes pc games onto the psp i would love it to be wifi to – Never gonna happen with todays games. old games can be ported but not really emulated
11 program to raise volume on psp its kinda low – possible, but its that volume cos the speakers on the psp are crap
12 program to make psp wifi farther – Impossible, Wifi range is more ore less hardware controlled
13 xbox 360 or ps3 emulater i doubt the psp could handle it – Correct
14 this is a question why not try using a newer video card and install it on the psp somehow – Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
15 program that fakes your memory card and makes it bigger than it actually is
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Estan is a form of estar in the spanish language which means “to be” but actually is saying that they are now fused. I belive that’s what it means.

Why not make a custom firmware yourself (if your simple-minded brain can) and stop complaning you fucking dipshit. Give the guy credit for his work, instead of constantly bashing him. I’ll admit – I’d prefer DAX’s firmwares over 1.62 but what’s with the “shitware” talk? Give the guy some credit for doing something. You fucking Jackpole.

Good work becus25.

LMAO at you fucken retards, because it’s shiny and new you must have it? Get off Dax’s case about the 3.3 CFW, what game requires it that his last firmware doesn’t support, got virtua tennis 3 and had to upgrade from 3.03 cfw to use it, no worries.

And lay off the hatin on becus25, but that doesn’t really need to be said, cause why the fuck would anyone listen to you fuckwits anyway, you guys seem to know less than jack fucken shite on anything.

xbox emu etc? And making the mem card bigger than it is??? Where have all these fucktards come from. Seriously.
