PSP Custom Firmware 3.40 OE-A Released & 3.30 OE-A’ Update!

greg | April 20, 2007

How wonderful! Beyond dispute Dark_AleX remains on top with yet another ball-busting firmware release. In fact, there are two individual updates:

  • 3.40 OE-A, using the latest pieces from Sony’s 3.40 firmware update, and of course, leaving the underlying weaknesses found long ago in 1.50.
    • Updated from 3.30 firmware to 3.40
    • Security patch: Fixed a bug that has been in all 3.XX OE, that caused random data to be written to a location in lcdc.prx or (in worst case) emc_sm.prx ram space.
    • Autboot that is missing since 3.03 OE-C has been reimplemented.
    • Improvements in the flasher. It will now generate also the flash1 directories, and it will check that the dxar is the correct for this update, so no more bricks by accidentally using other DATA.DXAR.
  • Secondly, but certainly not least, is a 3.30 OE-A’ (OE-A2) update — for those users who wish to remain at 3.30 OE. It corrects the following:
    • Security patch: Fixed a bug that has been in all 3.XX OE, that caused random data to be written to a location in lcdc.prx or (in worst case) emc_sm.prx ram space.
    • Autboot that is missing since 3.03 OE-C has been reimplemented.

Now, lets get on with it!

To install 3.40 OE-A:

- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to /PSP/GAME150 if you
are in any SE/OE version. Get the 1.50 and 3.40 Sony updaters (of any region, because all are
currently the same), and copy them in the oeupdmaker directory with the names 150.PBP and 340.PBP.

Execute the program, and it will generate the DATA.DXAR file. The checksums (althoug the flasher
will check for them for you):

CRC32: CDA4638D
MD5: 9754F2CC0CBE2D8FE0DD009C90FDCD9F
SHA1: 6F76BB67B31EFF6FECB72D9D4AF443C793E1E521

- Copy 340oeflasher and 340oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to /PSP/GAME150 if you
are in any SE/OE version. Move the DATA.DXAR to 340oeflasher directory.

You need 75% battery, although you can skip this if you pressed L+triangle while loading the program.

Note about pops. I recommend people to backup their savedata before proceeding to change them
(Sony has changed the savedata format, and they force you to change the format in 3.40 if you want to play them).
If a plugin to load previous firmwares pops appear, the savedata will have to be in the old format for those firmwares,
that’s why it is better to have a backup of them. Psx savedatas are in /PSP/SAVEDATA/[code of game]

To install 3.30 OE-A’ Update:

Copy the 330_oea2update directory to /PSP/GAME150 in your memstick, and run it.

Enjoy!

So, does this update in any way fix PSX’s double-CD games, such as Resident Evil 2, from cutting off? With these two recent updates, I am just not enticed, as of now, to update from 3.03 OE-C. Regardless, great job DAX. Will donate as soon as some money transfers from my bank to credit card.

Get the 1.50 and 3.40 Sony updaters (of any region, because all are
currently the same), and copy them in the oeupdmaker directory with the names 150.PBP and 340.PBP.

where can i get them??

Thanks D-A. I for one will donate to your cause as sooon as my credit is straightened out. I know how it is to have ppl help out on the cause for the better of things. Some just don’t understand that it takes time, coding, and money for things to work for the public. Let alone risking your own unit for bricking to make things for the public. My self look forwartd to your CF and like to see that you are still around to give us a helping hand for us unfortunate hacking hands.

From one coder to another. Great work and keep it up.

Paypal - Will be received with a name of a WEBMASTER. Only if that paypal icon is true. Mine is. Anywys,

Thanks D-A

If you want to customize your XMB, then the best cf would be to go with 3.03 oec at the moment.

Hmmm, Rain, care to explain how you got it to work? I’ve tried 3 different versions of Leon’s disk (DualShock, original release, and Japan release) and not a single damn one has worked so far.

Comment by Rain
2007-04-22 08:37:26

ok guys heres a video showing that it can be done i quickly took it then its a bit gimpy though but you should be able to see it well enough.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeZbfZ-hL1I

it might have something to do with the disc load speed if you set it to high it might override the crash at that point in the game or maybe not. anyway im using an origianal japanese version of the game i ripped it using cdrwin and converted it using zinga burgas easy pops 3 beta without customised icons or anything. then copied it to the mem stick, opened it changed the in game settings to disc load “fast” n just played as regular. youll notice toward the end of the clip that theres a save game there in jap meaning “claire game 00 saves 2nd round” you get this when you finish leons game i did that yesterday so i guess its proof that leons disc works too. if changing the disc speed doesnt work then

update to cf 3.40oe-a (if not already)
rip res evil 2 using cdrwin
convert using zinga burgas easy pops 3 beta
copy to mem stick
run game on fast disc load speed

if still doesnt work then not sure why but if you wan a save game file then hit me back. also check out my other youtube vids

Go to recovery mode in the OE FW (after hard boot keep right transparent shoulder button pressed). Choose Configuration > Fake region. Here you can enter the specific region you want. (My setting here is “Disabled”, I have a Japanese PSP and it works fine with me, but I don’t watch movies so it might help you out here…)

Good Luck!

/(Root of PSP Drive)/ISO/(iso images/games)

You should have an ISO folder in the root of your memory card/PSP when you view it. If not create it.

Comment by Ivo71
2007-04-21 05:20:38

Figured out what the bug is:
The moment you go to a photo and set it as background wallpaper in FW3.40oe it messes up the boot menu settings. So FW3.40 oe works fine as long as you don’t use background wallpapers.
The screwed up settings caused some games not to work.

Comment by alf
2007-04-21 08:15:05

i also found this problem, for me it’s seems that when you set the wallpaper, system write the picture file into the flash1 and for whatever reason its corrupting the flash1\config.se file, at the moment i don’t know whose fault of this, it can be the custom firmware OR the original 3.40 firmware also

so far i encountered when i flashed the new custom firmwares my psp hanged here and there, the solution was that i needed to delete from flash1\registry the files and with this current relase i seen that when i wanted to copy the two flashes directory i was unable to copy the config.se file, with the 3.10oe-c it was not a problem and with this relase when i was fixing the wallpaper problem(deleting the corrupt config.se) at some point my psp showed some extra menu like remote tv and other, unfortunetly now i’m unable to get back those extra menu points

Comment by Ivo71
2007-04-25 00:01:24

Found the solution: Deleted the config.se file from flash1 root and after that it was solved. Weird thing was that I upgraded 3 PSP’s from 3.10oe to 3.40 and all three had the same problem. Luckily it is solved now.
So if anybody has problems just try deleting config.se (make backup first to be sure).

 
 
 
Comment by Ivo71
2007-04-21 05:27:07

I mean the settings in advanced configuration were all enabled by setting a wallpaper as background. Disabled all these settings again and the games worked again but ofcoz the wallpaper was gone. So probably the boot menu and the wallpaper use the same flash adress in 3.40, I’m not sure if 3.30 has the same problem.

Comment by Ivo71

Comment by robs1968

I had the same issue when setting the wallpaper.
It would freeze up after a hard reset, and everthing in recovery would be enabled..when rebooting after disabling in recovery, the wallpaper would be gone..

Quick and 100% fix : “Restore Default Settings”

Something you should do after every cfw flash.

After restoring default settings, you will have no problems.

Comment by Ivo71
2007-04-21 17:01:10

I have done that and tried it again and still have the same problems: The moment I use a wallpaper background the settings in the boot menu are almost all enabled, when I change the settings back the wallpaper is gone.

Comment by Minoas

I do suspect the 3.40(original) Firmware posted here is Japan Made.Using it to make the custom firmware causes the following glitches.

1)X and O are reverted (fixable throu recovery)
2)If you do try to switch the Jpn Font in order to have the space for custom XMB then you shall loose the X O reffernce in the menu.All you see will be press _ to continue.
3) For some reason in EU psp the top menu does not work.On us it works fine :( Tested 5 machines so far

Downloading ATM us 3.40 will test and let you know

I second that. I broke my first psp 2.80 , slipped out the hands. Bought a used 1 from a local store, It had firmware 3.03-OE-C. Portable TV was there and Playstation Spot. Now I’m at 3.40 OE-A and Would love for someone to come up with a fix for the Top Menu thing.

the other thing i’m thinkg about, ok this is a bit parranoid :) that if sony has a little brain then relase some firmware that interfere with the custom firmware

Comment by LastmanOut
2007-04-24 18:50:53

If you notice on the screen when you put the 150.PBP and 340.PBP files together and run the app, they are taking parts from them and creating the custom firmware from them directly. If sony included something in the firmware then it would be noticeable when someone inspects the code when a new firmware comes out.

2007-04-21 16:24:00

I meant to say can not set it back to 1.5 kernal to reflash. However, It was only the first option of the recovery that was missing. Therefore, recovery was able to be used since you don’t have to place the kernal to 1.5

A weird note. I had updated to 3.40oe and probably forgot to set the kernal to 1.5 and when it was completed I had two new features. One was a psp tv and the other I forgot, but GTA games didn’t work. I reflashed correctly and went back to 3.40oe and all works, but no more PSP TV.
Any comment? More than likely few have forgotten to set the kernal to 1.5 and wouldn’t have had the chance to see the PSP TV.

You can use the 32 mb memory stick and it will work fine with the Easy Install 3.40oe which you can get from this site. Just set your psp to the 1.5 kernal before flashing, if your already in an OE CF.

To Rain And DRE and anyone else facing the issue I described above.

If you PSP after the update is set to Japan,has the buttons inverted and crashes when you try to enter recovery->configuration then you have a corrupted registry.Dont panic and dont try to reflash to older versions since the crash will follow you…

The same issue may cause topmenu plugins not work in 3.4

The ONLY sollution is

http://dl.qj.net/Flash1-Formatter-v1-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/12317/catid/151
Flash1 Formatter v1

That will reset the configurations with a clean format.Carefull when doing so please RTFM…

Holy Shit dude D_A u are the man!! i just got 3.30oe-a and the next 3 days you come out wit 3.40oe thats awesome.
Yo guys i got the same problem with the psx games freezing, I really wanted to play Digimon World 3 but when i go to diff. areas it froze so im unhappy, Oh and i also fiddled around with the flash icon thing and it screwed everything around, I had the gears of war thing stuck and the fonts kept getting screwed when i restarted saying config settings error and then I just copied from my frendz untouched psp and i was saved. Im going to update to 3.40 after CWcheat comes out for it.
So putting wallpaper messes up with the ISO thing huh? no wonder when i tried to play jewel summoner iso it turned black but its wierd my bleach game worked just fine. Other than a wider variety of psx games available i might just wait for the next update of 3.50oea…
Keep up the good work Dark_Alex WOOT!! You are king of firmware hackers!! I would like to donate too but im poor im savin for a ps3 for ninja gaiden. O and are you spanish or french? GRACIAS+MERCI~ Arigatou from me tho..

Holy shit! I have a dreaded TA-082 and I was soo affraid to try this. I stayed up all night as usual messing around with Devhook and all of those wonderful things and realized my stupidity in loading ISOs. Imagine the excitement! So then I have my brother over and I want to show him some of the ISOs loaded from the memory stick itself and how great that was, but it kept locking up and all kinds of bullshit. Tonight, I finally decided to take the risk on my precious motherboard, and for anyone who is wondering, this firmware is TA-082 approved! Thank you soo much for this! It’s soo awesome not to have to go through loaders and hassle just to play a damn game, and you don’t even have to have a disc in to load and ISO!!! You fucken rock man!!

 
Comment by Plutey
2007-04-22 03:47:58

Well, I would like to correct myself here, the icons will come up and it will try to load an ISO without the disc, but you need a disc for it to fully function, accident! Still pretty kick ass though!

There is no UMD mode Plutey.Just boot the PSP with holding the R button trigget and you are inside recovery.DONT mess with things you dont know but you can mess with Configuration.DONT switch UMD region since there seems to be a bug.Anyway in Configuration you can set NO UMD mode on and off.In newer games it needs a disc though so its better to have it off.On older it works fine..

if ya googled it you would know already well ya know when it askes u 2 save da game before the disk change SAVE IT and then go on ur computer and make the next cd giving it the SAME ID CODE ie. disk 1 SCES12345 and disk 2 SCES12345 this will fix ur problem

*ah people theses day don’t google don’t you feel my pain*

Comment by Gatts
2007-04-23 02:26:56

If you googled you would know that Metal Gear Solid does NOT ask to save before the disk change, like some other games around. So far, the only solution is to convert your save game, play further on a PC emulator save and re-convert.

I have the same problem. (no configuration in RM, switched buttons)So this formater thing will work if I’ve downgraded firmware to 1.50 and upgraded to 3.03 oe-c? I just need to use clean format option?

Comment by Minoas
2007-04-23 07:51:36

DONT go to 1.50 with corrupt PSP registry.Official Sony updates DO NOT TOUCH the registry and you shall loose recovery menu which may result in a brick.If you notice the configuration crashing first and only thing to do is run the flash1 formatter OR mount flash1 to USB and delete config.se(back it up in case).Both methods should fix your issue.

i guess its suppose to be on the memory stick. i guess i brick mine by installing it on the psp memory and i cant recover it back to 1.50. Well anyway, there’s quite a few problems with 3.40 oe-a. most games have problems with it. most of my iso games just went blank screen when i started it. sigh.. hope a fix will soon :(

I also have the wallpaper bug where the settings reset, the settings that make your games go black at boot is in advanced configuration - Use isfos driver also in UMD-inserted mode, just so if your settings get screwed u can easily get your games working again =)

Got a quick question, i upgraded 2 psps, one workes fine bar the wallapper problem, but the other one cant access the configuration menu when inside config/recovery mode. The screen goes blue wo any text and the psp then switches off. (psp works fine otherwise, bar the wallpaper bug, but because i cant get in the config menu i cant disable the settings that stop my games from running!)

Any suggestions?

I have NO PROBLEM after upgrading from 3.30 OE-A’

What did I do:
1. I’m using a 2Gb Memory Card Duo.

2. I reset my psp to default and format the Memory Card.

3. I copy the oeupdmaker folders to ?/PSP/Game150 and copy 150.pbp (download from this site) and 340.pbp (from official sony firmware upadate)

4. Disconnect usb and take out the UMD disk and run the program.

5. Check the crc or md5 of the Data.Dxar using Fatsum software.

6. Copy the 340flash folder to ?/PSP/GAME150 and cut and paste data.dxar to that folder.

7. Disconnect usb cable and no UMD in psp.

8. Run the program to flash the psp with over 75% batt and with power cable connected.

9. After done the flash I push R when switching on the PSP and enter recovery mode, I set the configuration > Use No-UMD (Disabled)

10. Play the game with Umd disc inserted.

>> I don’t use custom xmd icon
>> I don’t use any plugin
>> I changed my wallpaper

My PSP run smoothly.

Some Notes to people who DONT READ the Manuals

1)You CAN GO to every Custom Firmware You want easily.Just put the files in the 150 folder and Run them as you normally do for CF(updatemaker+flasher)

2)DONT run Official firmwares from XMB or you are having a new brick.

3)You can go to 1.50 from any CF.NOT recommended if you have currupted registry.

4)For those who still wanna go to 150 here is a link for a OE remover to 1.50DAX created it but you I guess you dont know that is why you are asking about it
.
Oeremover
http://www.sendspace.com/file/e8cbzk

I have personally tested it on ALL OE firmwares on EUROPE PsPs.IT NEEDS TO BE RUN FROM RECOVERY (Its capital for a reason)

5)If iso’s don’t Load There are 3 Ways.

5a)First DONT DONWLOAD ROMS you dont own.50% of those are patched or corrupted that is why they dont run

5b)Use USB SSS for ripping a dvd you already own for testing purposes

5c)If the above pass the check then start testing with No UMD etc.Some games also need special CPU speed or insane tweaks like No saved games of X game in MC.Google is your Friend

6)The Black Screen when changing From OE version is expected.Even if it does not appear you SHOULD go and reset factory defaults.If things get out of hand clean the registry.

flash1:/vsh/resource/gameboot.pmf cannot be changed anymore…
