WARNING: Too good to be true report coming right up. Now, as much as we ourselves are almost jumping for joy, we also can't help but remain a tiny, little bit skeptical about it all. After all, it's April Fool's and we all know that the internet gets flooded with jokes, gags and hoaxes at this time of the year. Anyway, we may all want to just take this with a grain of salt for now, until DAX himself lets everyone know that he is indeed working his magic again on FW 3.30, or until 3.30 O-E actually shows up. However, we ARE crossing our fingers... on with the report!

PSP icon - Image 1When we string together Dark_Alex, 3.30, and O-Es, we can only only imagine the smiles this will be putting on the reader's faces as they add these words up. Yup - PSPgen has just reported that DA has supposedly announced that 3.30 OE is coming soon.

It will be noted that this news comes in shortly after Team C D's release of a firmware decrypter for v3.30. DA is reportedly using their decrypter to get working on on this new release, although he's only begun. The good news is that DA has commented it won't take too long to complete the work - expect a new custom firmware to be up and about soon.

There are no other details at the moment, except that this new firmware is expected to be larger than 3.10 - so have the proper amount of space ready, and hope for the best. Stay posted in case we pick up further details on this breaking news

Thanks to whoelse for the heads up!

pspEMPIRE is a tool. Hey i have a idea, how about you make your own custom firmware and we can see how that turns out. What a tool.

pspEMPIRE is also probably a *****.

 » Hmm...

Wonder when someone will crack the key encryption one day, would be extremely convenient to be able to update to a custom firmware without all the hacks/downgrading crap involved.

Would love to use the custom firmwares out now, I just can't really be bothered though to be honest.

 » this is just out right BS.. bloody NEWBZ

listen guys, come now, if it wasnt for DAX and all the others that started this psp scene, we wouldnt even have what we have today, i 'member when i got my first psp, i was like, damn man, i cant wait for a modchip... and then i found out bout 1.50 firmware stuff, homebrew and all the jazz, and i screwed up my psp long before the OE's came out, ive now been thru 4 psp's thanks to homebrew scewups and not listening and doing things like the newbz here are doing, not being patient and not reading before modding, now i have a perfectly modded 3.03oe-c with totally modded xmb and all, and im happy with it, now if this 3.30 oe is real and being worked on, then all in due time, just have patience and wait, im happy with 3.10 oe and 3.03 oe, but i will stay with 3.03 untill fully working new versions come out, april fools or not, dax, good job man, ur recovery option in the oe's saved my psp yesterday when i screwed with my xmb files

good luck to all who actually can code and give us homebrew goodies, much respect guys

 » Video UMD iso SUPPORT

Hope DAX incorporates Video UMD iso support. As it is impossible to play video UMD isos on any custom firmware release to date.

Fake. If it's not posted on dark alexes website, I would supose its a bricker. Wate untill an english site such as QJ reports it, untill then just sit back and wate. btw, quick question:
