Dark_AleX Returns! 3.30 Open Edition Rev A

Posted by x3sphere at April 15, 2007, 2:40 am

Homebrew developer extraordinaire Dark_AleX is back with a new version of his Open Edition series firmware: 3.30 OE-A. All major functionalities from Sony’s 3.30 firmware have been left intact, along with added features from previous releases making a return — complete PS1 game library support, region spoofing, and homebrew support under either the 3.30 or 1.50 kernel.

Question for anyone with an OE PSP and a PS3, with the PSP FW update, perhaps is Remote Play now usable?

TimTiger says:

Oh hell yeah, chargin my bat now and then updating!

roe-ur-boat says:

Just hold l+triangle when you start the update. goldline9x taught me this

GoldLine9x says:

and do custom topmenus work or not

fenival says:

3.11 cannot be downgraded yet to 1.5.

roe-ur-boat says:

Sorry but you have to wait for a downgrader. sorry exophase we must have posted at the same time

janchix says:

OK, thanks guys.

XTM_Rage says:

Unfortunately, I do not believe that custom XMBs will work. Sorry. I could be wrong though.

DJNTQ says:

Did someone test already PS1 Games - are they working better with this FW??
Any Feedbacks so far? Is it better to wait for OE-B or OE-C?

Darkchild says:

Hurray for dark alex!! :D:D:D:D

pspnewb says:

Okay I am sure there have been 1 million ppl that has asked this question.

I searched btu could not find the answer.

I have PSP firmware 3.02 from sony website. How can I get 3.30 of DarkAlex? Can I just downloade his? Or do I need to find a way to downgrade to 1.50 and then download the 3.30OE by DarkAlex?

Anyone have links to the downgraders for 3.02? MUCH help will be appreicated.

x3sphere says:

you'll need to upgrade to 3.03 and use the 3.03 downgrader

This rocks, thanks D_A! I'll have to donate whenever it is my poor self gets some money, I love this <3

Memeow says:

I tested Suikoden 2, It still freezes at the mist boss :crying:

And I tested Chrono cross, and I dont know if this was a prob for anyone eles but it would freeze when NeoFio joined my party
Made me rather sad becasue hes so cute =(
But thats all better now :biggrin:

GoldLine9x says:

i was hopeing suikoden 2 would work

RomTheStampede says:

It still freezes at the R.P.D Station :closedeyes:

GoldLine9x says:

no! i want to play re2 ah well thanks for testing the game out you saved me a 5min psp update

iceman 47 says:

dark_alex is fogeting about us 3.11 i think theres never gona be a 3.10/3.11 downgraders

TimTiger says:

He's not forgetting about you, just be patient and there will be a downgrader eventually.

xhax says:

ya this sucks :( I'm stuck with the 3.11 firmware :( please make a downgrader quickly dark alex! :P

RomTheStampede says:

No it dosent work, It WILL!! Semi Brick/ Full Brick Your PSP if you use the XMB Themes...

In my opinion, I really like the 3.03 OE Better than 3.10 & 3.30 OE Custom Firmwares... I was expecting RE2 to work :bored:

GoldLine9x says:

what is the point of a new oe firmwear if topmenus dont work
dark alex we need a talk....

XsavioR says:

All in due time guys & girls :P. Customization will only get easier and easier as time goes on. Be patient and look foward to when it does happen.

Memeow says:

one small prob with Chrono Cross
When I fight the dwarfs whenever someone uses an element the game crashes and restarts.
I don't know if its 3.30's fault of not but ill just put 3.10 on my new psp and see if the same thing happens :mellow:

Dkilla says:

will it work if you all ready have a 3.30 firmware installed on your psp

x3sphere says:

no, you need to be either running 1.5 or any of the previous OE editions.

all you can do is wait for a downgrader or get that new mod-chip which is supposed to be released tomorrow.

jestersi says:

I've had my psp like two months, i upgraded fireware right after I got the wifi working. I wasn't thinking cuz I spent 3hrs attempting wifi access when I just had to add the MAC to my the access list... I'm stuck in 3.11 I've setup my dev environment for some home brew, (totaly making a pong game where you turn you psp side ways and two ppl can play pong one using up/down keys the other the triangle and X keys) it will probably take me a week to make it look pretty (got ideas for using xscreensaver pong video filter just for kix to get that old monitor feel) sony please please please please leme use my psp.
26k for a real UMD psp dev box.... I just want to port pong....

Hi' Just curious and wanted to be sure. can we use the RECOVERY folder to go back to 1.50 from 3.30 OE A? i just wanna be certain.

Logan says:

Anyone had any problems with some games? Fight Night Round 3, Street Fighter Alpha Max 3 and Harvest Moon: Innocent Life all crap out on me under 3.30 OE-A :(

yeh recovery is still here.

XTM_Rage says:

Custom topmenus so far don't work with 3.10 OE-A', so I'm guessing that they won't work with 3.30 OE-A either. However, while I'm waiting for somebody I know to compile a "Winstaller" allowing me to upgrade to OE FW without the benifits of a genuine memory stick bigger than 32MB, you might want to consider trying modding other things such as the background, the wave, batter and loading icons, those are things I've modded in 3.10 OE-A', and it looks surprisingly like a PS3.

alx_amvs says:

I haven't got this on my PSP yet, but before i do i have a question. To play PS1 games, does the file have to be in any format other than ISO or do i have to do some kind of converting before hand? Would it work to just rip my games and put the iso on the memory card?

Gwapingn8 says:

but..... i have a 3.03oc-c.

can i upgrade to 3.30oc dirrectly, well of course following the instructions.
i don't need to downgrade to 1.5 right?

my PSP was originally fomr 1.5 then upgraded to 3.03oc-c.

so i assume there wouldn't be a problem with 3.30oc upgrade? :w00t:

roe-ur-boat says:

Yes you can upgrade directly just put the folders in game150 instead of game

onewaytohell says:

Thanks DarkAlex!!!:w00t:

I have upgraded my PSP to 3.30 OE with no problems. But I am wondering about a little thing. 3.30 is supposed to have some features that are not present in the OE version, such as connecting to a wireless hot spot, or dropping videos with the THM recognized in the VIDEO folder. at the moment none of those feature are working. Am I missing something here? lol Any help would be appreciated.

x3sphere says:

I don't know about the THM files, but in order to get the T-mobile wireless feature to show up you need to make sure your region is set to America in recovery mode then restore default settings.

roe-ur-boat says:

What is the t-mobile wireless feature

GoldLine9x says:

i think you can connect to the internet using the t-mobile hot spots

onewaytohell says:

Oh ok that would explain alot! lol Thanks X3sphere! But I am still puzzled about the THM files lol oh well Ill keep on looking.

ROE UR BOAT:
TMobile Wireless feature is that Sony has made it easier to connect to hot spots through the network settings.

eagletalk says:

You can the tmobile hotspot free for six months, then they charge you for further use......you have to register your psp with them.
