Has anyone had a 100% success rate with ISOs working correctly?

Can 3.02OE-B change the XMB icons? (Icon flasher thingy by kgsws)

If you mean does it work with 3.02OE-B...

Then yes it does. All of my screenshots are of 3.02 with the modded XMB Icons.

I've seen it before. It like one of the first screenshots of the XMB hack in the original development/discussion thread

I think it was by niobe or something...

2nd Question: Does this custom firmware let u do the things that 3.02is suposed to be able to do? ( Like Camera, PS3 Connectivity etc) Or do u have to wait for some devers to release prxs for them?

Well, yes this does everything 3.02 can do excluding Location Free Player (*hint hint* use Devhook to use it *hint hint*): no need for custom prxs.

Can someone tell me if i bricked ? . I follwed the readme perfectly and after the pink text finished i manually restarted and its not coming on . Even if i hold down the R trigger it doesn't come on . The green power light goes on and then goes away. Have i bricked ?

[dommel]

Wooooot! I'm in PSX heaven! It works like a charm!!!!

[Mitsudigi]

Afraid you have. Try disconnecting the battery and replugging it in. If not, you're hooped. It probably happened because you upgraded with TA-82 or something. On the contrary, if you followed the readme perfectly then it wouldn't have bricked.

[Aliboy]

Yeah i tried all that . Damn . The only thing i think i did wrong was that it said 3.02 installer not flasher . Was i supposed to delte the EBOOTs that were already in the oeupdater folders ?
EDIT: And It was a launch PSP so it had the right motherboard and i was 1.5

Just put the 1.5 kxploited eboots in the GAME folder if your using the 1.5 kernel or in the GAME150 folder if your using the 3.02 kernel. Check what kernel you're using in the recovery menu (by holding R at startup, then going into configuration.)

I'm assuming you have a Sony memory stick? They take forever to make the DATA.DXAR. So theirs nothing to worry about, mine took about 1.5-2 hours to make too.

[AaronC]

o ok thanks a lot i'm so gonna get a sandisk 2 gb because i'm want more space

thanks

What is the reason they take so long to make that DATA.DXAR file ? I have a 2GB sandisk duo pro and it took 2 minutes to do the whole flash - just faster memory ?

[FLai]

Thank you so much for this guide! I now have a 3.02 OE-B PSP!

[Strings]

I'm not a noob, just been out of the scene for a while. So naturally the news and of this firmware hit me pretty bad heh.

I have a 1.5 firmware PSP as default. Installed 3.02OE... but some things are throwing me.

When I install the firmware I DONT have a GAME150 OR a GAME320 folder. I just have a PSP/GAME folder. Should I create these or what?

I've checked the FAQ and from what I can tell, I need to put all my homebrew in the GAME folder still. So whats the point in having a 150/320 folder?

Another thing that has me confused is just WHERE to put my backed up PSX games?

[FLai]

Right, you don't need a Game150 or Game320 folder when you install, but you'll need them later. You put ps1 games in the game folder. Game150 is for un-kxploited EBOOTS, game320 is for homebrew using the 3.02 kernel (non yet). Game is just for normal EBOOTs you would use in 1.5. Flash carefully and enjoy!

no, game150 is where you put 1.5 kernel homebrew when you have 3.02 as the default kernel. You can have almost all user mode homebrew it the "game" folder regardless of what kernel you use.

my sandisk 2gb took about a minute and 30 seconds.

i read some people were taking a long time. so i was prepared (and shaky) but it was done quick then i close my eyes(....) and downgraded... lols. brand new psp not even a day old and i was ascared.

[mattjm1230]

My official Sony 1 gig (came w/ the 'Giga Pack' last Christmas) took about twenty minutes to do 3.02 OE, and about twenty five to make 2.71 SE-C. I turned it off the first time, lol, I though it froze.

[antonyfl]

Just a question about the psx emulator (In 3.02OEB) My psp occaisionally beeps(The volume is mute) Is that supposd to happen? (Only happens wen i am playing isos 'Legallly bought of course")

[Sethis]

How safe is uninstalling 3.02 OE-B?

I think im having problems with IRShell, im trying to use USBHOST. but it does work on my psp. BUT it does work on my cousins. so i am thinking of reinstalling 3.02 OE-B.

Is there another way of uninstalling? and is the recovery mode files similar to the generic downgrader?

[mstrhelix]

to uninstall first read the README that comes with OE-B it tells u exactly how to uninstal back to 1.5 through recovery mode

[Pharonyk]

I want to reset my flash settings... so I plan on downgrading to 1.5 and reinstalling the 3.02 oea-b

Although.. I'm on a TA-082 mobo.. is the uninstallation method still the same?

[cyslim5]

Have you already downdated from 2.71 via TA-082 downdater? If so then you will not need to worry as your PSP will act as if it were not a TA-082 (due to the program you run before the generic downdater); i.e. your PSP should be able to run generic downdate without a brick.

[Pharonyk]

Thank you so much..

ok i did everthing and when i started 3.02 oe-a update maker it starts then my psp reboots with in seconds and give me (80010002) i have dev and a 1.5 psp please help. this mite have been on here already but got to page 15 and can read anymore so if anyone can help this would be good . can u use dev on oe-a or oe-b if so what ver of dev

[cyslim5]

Try up-downgrading via HEND method then try 3.02 OE update maker again.

(HINT: It's best to keep the installation files of 3.02 OE on a 32MB stick - if you have one from the Value Pack and do not use it - if you intend to reflash in future or in case DAX does the same as he did with SE-C where you had to do a clean install)

BTW have you downloaded the right updates and the right packages?
