[OFFICIAL] 3.40 OE-A and 3.03 OE-C Installation Guide, FAQ, and Support Thread

[John_Edward]

I updated to 3.02 OE-B, and everything runs nice, thank you for this :3
Only thing that is not working for me is those demo's you can download from the PSPstore.
Every time I try to load them they just freeze after the gameboot video.
Tried putting them to the game270 folder but then they don't even show up in the game menu.
The only PRX I have is irsmp3.
Anyone know how to get then to work ?

[Jaythecat]

ok but what is hend methed and am i wasting my time cuz i like dev its a faster way to play my games and i get emu as well @3.03 i have a psx and never play it so if the only reason to do this is to have psx games than i will not do the flash and wait for something better

[Ryd1zzel]

i wanna upgrade but im not sure anymore
i dont want to brick

[Sethis]

The upgrade process is very safe. Dark Alex created the flasher, a similar way the sceUpdaters update the psp. But again. the sceUpdaters to sometimes brick the psp. just becareful have fun

It's pretty much just as safe as an official sony update.

Somehow I get the Red screen of death when I boot normally.
I can boot to recovery mode holding right trigger.
How do I recover to the normal psp boot screen using recovery? what file do I put in the recovery folder to work?

any help would be great.

Thanks.

[affinity]

easy. I havnt touched a psp in 6 months. Got mine back and did it with no problems at all. If I can do it....anyone can. Thanks DarkAlex for all your hard work.

[cyslim5]

I upgraded mine and it went fine because i followed all instructions and warnings.
Its a bit neave wracking at first but its actualy harmless to upgrade.

I completely agree: it's all the n00bs who do not read the READMEs.

[kiryu]

im srry but in the guide you say GAME320
but in the readme it says GAME302
srry if this has been already asked

[cyslim5]

I think it should be GAME302 like how it was GAME271 in SE.

[Ge64]

Is there any way to get the nethostfs in irshell working with 3.02OE-B????

[Liquid_Turbo]

I've done everything exact to the tee...

However, after the "Manual Reboot" statement, my PSP doesn't load up 3.02... acts semi-bricked..

Only solution is to run recovery back to 1.50.

Any help/ideas?

[Sethis]

it should lag for about 5 - 10 seconds.

I reflashed my OE-A firmware(works perfectly. and i flashed my cousins SE-B'' to OEB). i only did it becuase i thought the usb host didnt work . but it doesnt seem to be the flash. i think its the hardware now. im gonna make a new thread. or rename my old one .

[RandomPerson]

Took 16 minutes to unpack the 1.50 and 3.02 files creating the DATA.DXAR
Took about 5 minutes to flash to 3.02 OE-A.
Took about 5 seconds to update to 3.02 OE-B :P

Works beautifully, Dark_AleX and all who contributed are geniuses

After about 5-10s it shuts off.. and any subsequent power-ons power down after about 10 seconds.

I've recovered back to 1.50 and tried the 3.02 update a few times now.

Any idea whats going on?

[Ryd1zzel]

ok i think im ready to upgrade
but first, should i unistall devhook..or jus format my whole memory stick and im good 2 go?

[Oyez]

I'd format your 'stick.

[cyslim5]

If you want Devhook, keep a backup of the "dh" folder in the root of your mem stick - you can always download the Devhook loader from Internet.

[JubeiUK]

Thanks so much for this guide. I followed your steps and installed 3.02OE with no problems whatsoever. Magic.

[pete44904]

Hi just wanted to to say it looks like a really good guide does anyone know if this will work on a Sony PSP with 1.5 Firmware that has the dreaded IC1003 board.

Hope its a yes and i'll give it a go - thanks:Jump:

Can anyone help me? I have installed oe-b and i have 2 ps1 games in GAME, and i have kernel at 3.02 but when i go to play a ps1 game, it just freezes before gameboot, with no xmb or anything...

Certain customizations can cause the PSX emulator to freeze.

Try going to recovery, toggle usb.
Make two new folders
X:/PSP/GAME302
X:/PSP/GAME150

Try putting the psx games in GAME302.

Also, do you have keys.bin?

[AndyMosh]

I have keys.bin and i have custom everything

[|-Anubis-|]

I have keys.bin and i have custom everything

That might be the problem....

Try changing back to default font or something and see if it loads.

[AndyMosh]

Still freezes even when default font is on.

You're probably going to have to reinstall 3.02 OE-B to use the PSX emulator.

[AndyMosh]

Noooooooo! Omg, so i can't have a modded psp?

[Pspbricker]

The file MUST be in the GAME folder, not GAME302 or GAME150, either it is 1.50 kernel or 3.02 kernel. If it its not in the game folder it just doesnt boot giving an error.

[AndyMosh]

But it didn't give an error, i just saw my theme the wavey lines and the time lol, reinstalling oe...
