PSPGuess what? ChaosZero just made some "noob-friendly" app for the latest 2.71 custom firmware. And just how noob-friendly is it? Let's just say that if your 7 year old brother knows what a USB port and a PSP is, he can probably do this himself. Of course, provided that your brother isn't a brat whose main purpose in life is to brick your PSP but that's not the point...

Anyway, to install, just download the package you want to have on your PSP, hook your beloved handheld to your PCs USB port (using the USB cable, of course) and run the executable file. See? We told you it's that simple. But before you go and do that, here are some notes that you have to read first:

  • Game menu freezing error: you must have a GAME folder and a GAME150 folder…
    Then you can boot Recovery Mode, enter Configuration, Change "Game folder homebrew" to 1.50 kernel and exit. Only after that you can make a GAME and a GAME271 folder.
  • Game menu responding slow at times:Whenever you do an update to the ISO folder (add, delete, change files, first SE-B execution), a little delay will occur when entering in memory stick games. While the ISO folder is not changed, this won’t happen.
And here are the features of the SE-B FULL Build, SE-B New User Build, and the SE-B LITE Build:

SE-B FULL Build
  • Upgrade from SE-A to SE-B
  • Install 2.71 SE-B with DevHook (2.71)
  • Install 2.71 SE-B with DevHook (1.50) GUI Mod and 2.71 Firmware (In SE-A, this played games 2.71’s DevHook wouldn’t)
  • Just SE-B, no DevHook
  • Just DevHook (2.71), no SE-B
  • Install RECOVERY Folder for downgrading to 1.50.
SE-B LITE Build
  • Upgrade from SE-A to SE-B
  • Install 2.71 SE-B with DevHook (2.71)
  • Install RECOVERY Folder for downgrading to 1.50.
SE-B New User Build
  • Straight install 2.71 SE-B with DevHook (2.71).

the pack includes decrypted firmwares and as such is illegal in many countries.

the installer is just the decrypted files in a self extracting archive

Yes you have to use the correct downgrader to go to fw1.5 then run the full installer from there. If you try to run it from 2.6 it might brick (the last one did.)

can someone clarify for me whats the point of devhook on 2.71 SE-B except for running the few games 2.80 and up?

   Re: Gryff33 - 2006-10-26
 » Devhook

Yes, that's what devhook does, although it doesn't emulate higher than 2.71. I don't understand either why the installer includes devhook. Is it required to use SE-B, or can I delete it?

What IS the point in having Devhook on a firmware that's already 2.71 (unless you're playing 2.8+ required games).

Is it fine to run ISO's without Devhook??
I've tried and it doesnt work if I just put .iso files into the ISO folder in psp root, but then some ppl say it works. Someone please clarify!!

Thanks!!

It has IC1003 on both the left and right of the inside of the UMD door? Crazy. That's TA-082 times 2. Omg it's the apocalypse.

P.S. Don't do it. I don't suggest it at all, also because your friend's PSP is most likely not firmware 1.50 anyway. XD

1. How do I know if my PSP is a dreaded TA-082 or not?
2. I have 1.5 right now. After I install this, will I have to reinstall everything I have (like all my homebrew), or will it still be there? Will I have to move anything around? What I'm asking is, can I just plug in my PSP and install this thing and be done with it, or will it mess with everything on my memory stick?
3. What is all this jibberish about a GAME folder and a GAME 150 folder in the description of this installer? Do I need to do anything to my GAME folder before or after I use the installer?
4. I know this writes to flash. If I install this now, will the update to 2.71 SE-C (when it comes out) require writing to flash again? I'd rather not keep messing with the flash memory, so I'm thinking of just waiting for 2.71 SE-C (I have a feeling it will be out pretty soon).

Please answer.


   Re: axelixc - 2006-10-26
 » hm

1)turn yr psp back with umd dorr facing u. peep inside top right corner. if u see IC1003 u r dead.

2)b4 installing 2.71 se-b better backup all yr files.

3) 1st scenario - GAME(by default it's for 2.71 kernel) and manually create GAME150(put all 1.50 compatible homebrew in dis folder). 2nd scenario - GAME(in recovery mode - change dis 2.71 kernel folder to 1.50 kernel - den put all 1.50 compatible homebrew in it) and manually create GAME271(put all 2.71 compatible homebrew in dis folder). u need to choose which scenario to follow but only after installation.

4)yes 2.71 se-c will write flash again. i suppose dark_alex will again create a quick update directly from se-b to se-c. other den tat it's yr choice but read the readme.text few times until u know wat u r doing b4 upgrading from original 1.50 to 2.71 se-c.

hope dis will help.
