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

[psp726]

I have 3.03 oe-c on my psp and everything works great except croc the ps1 game. I want to upgrade to 3.40 oe-a but i want to make sure some things are right. First, I heard that metal slug 6 or 7 from metal slug anthology doesnt work on it is that true(i have the umd)? Second, I heard that the gta cheatdevice for both gta lcs and gta vcs don't work on it, is that true? Third, does 3.40 oe-a have that problem when you have a custom background that was put on using sony's official way and a custom gameboot the sound of the gameboot goes on but the background is shown and not the gameboot when you start a game?

About Metal SLug, i remember Dark_AleX fixed it in 3.10OE-A', but maybe another problem ?

Can anyone help?

Make sure your battery is atleast 75 % charged or higher...

Also make sure you have populated X:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY with the correct files. View This

[slicktan]

Nope, not how to charge battery up to 75%. My battery is okay. Its when I run the program

/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP

from the recovery menu, it also show a message at the top of the screen

Battery has to be at least 75%

And when I press X, the whole PSP screen goes blank.

I had remove the battery and connected to the mains, it still show the same message.

How do I recover back to 1.5 after a failed 3.4 upgrade?

[Maxi_Jac']

IF you are sure to have >=75% and cable plugged in, you can bypass the battery check pressing L+Triangle if i remember right

When do you press the L+Triangle? The L is the Left Trigger or the Left Directional button?

[Maxi_Jac']

L= Left trigger, you press it when you load the recovery flasher. IT will bypass the battery check, but do it at your own risk.

Can someone,please,help?I downloaded and upgraded today 3.40 system software from European PSP site(yourpsp).Then I downloaded 3.40 custom software and tried to install it on my PSP following the installation guide but couldn't install it(it said "couldn't start the game").What is the problem?

[Maxi_Jac']

If you really have followed the guide, you would have understand it only works with 1.5 PSPs or Custom firmware, with your 3.40 you can do nothing...
and nothing is NOTHING, no homebrew no downgrade ...



++ B.

[Adiuvo]

Not true, you can run flash games which is sort of like homebrew. A guide is in my sig.

[Maxi_Jac']

Wow internet browser is an homebrew loader, I didn't know that ...
I don't consider flash games as homebrew...

What do they fall under then?

Homebrew= Homemade games and apps. I'm pretty sure flash games fit under that.

finally managed to load my PSP correctly with the custom 3.40 OE-A, however whenever after I change my settings not to bypass the UMD disc from the recovery menu configuration settings and rebooting, it will seem to brick up and all my settings will be gone, the whole PSP came up blue screen with load of wordings in multiple languages, need to press O to reset back to default setting.

I can't load my backup games also, after selecting it goes into a blank screen. All other function are working properly.

What could be wrong or corrupted?

[vinvo]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but whenever I try to download the 3.40 part to upgrade it keeps saying that I can't open the file. Any Ideas?

Boot into recovery mode and scroll down to advanced and enable flash1 access. Make sure you have your USB cable connected then delete all the files and folders.

That should correct it.

As for ISO's we can't help you with that, please review the Piracy Policy

You don't have Winrar then. Install This

i have a 3.03 oe-c
so i can upgrad eto 3.4 oe now right
i just follow the guide like it says?

[KINGOFNOOBS]

Hey, sorry if this has been answers before but.

I have a 32MB Memory stick at the moment (4GB is coming as we speak), so obviously I can't install any custom firmware right now. But, I wonder, is it possible if someone made a .DXAR (Or whatever) file and sent it to me and I ran the installation of the custom firmware using theres. Would it work? Or does the .DXAR file only for that PSP?

You can use someone else's DATA.DXAR for install. 3.30 OE-A(2) + has a new addition to the flasher so it wont flash unless its the correct DATA.DXAR pertaining to the flasher.

So if you can find one on the internet your good if your flashing 3.30 OE-A (2) or higher. Just don't ask for one here as we are not allowed to distribute them. Another alternative is using USB Host,

[KINGOFNOOBS]

Thanks. Since I recently flashed my other PSP with 3.40OE. And still have the Data.DXAR so i'll just use that then.

Yes you can install 3.40 OE directly from 3.03 OE-C ;)

[beastosterone]

hey - i'm running 3.03 oe`a and trying to update to 3.40 latest

I've done this a few times before so I don't think it's user error unless i'm missing an option

I run the update maker, and it says game cannot be found - i then tried using the GAME150 folder, and it ran. But then it hangs at "verifiying dax.data" - memstick not being accessed and it sits there for 30+minutes.

any ideas?
-= Double Post =-
nevermind got it, thanks

[Maxi_Jac']

When it verifies DATA.DXAR it make a SHA-1 verification , it can take time. but 30 minutes :s
Do everything again.

++ B.

[iwantanimac]

Yeah. Both times i've installed an OE, it's taken less than a minute to verify the DATA.DXAR file. And i check the MD5 on the PC beforehand just to be sure.

[Snicks]

ok, so....im on 2.81. i get to 1.5, then go up to 3.4 OE-B


and then?

Thats pretty much it. Downgrade to 1.5 (Guide) then update to 3.40 OE-A with this guide.

[Snicks]

and then for the customization/ playstation 1 games?


ive become a n00b...initiate me once more haha
