Custom Firmware 1.53 - Image 1 


In a time when Dark_AleX and Booster creations are, arguably, the cream of the crop, it is always nice to have other options for all of us in the homebrew community. Remember the year-old Custom Firmware 1.50: Media Edition? Well, eiffel56 informed us (thanks for the tip!) that he has released Custom Firmware 1.53. So what does this do?

This one is made for FW1.5 loyalists. Basically, it's a custom firmware which allows you to do more things on your FW 1.50, like starting nokxploited EBOOTS and so on. Here's what's new for this release:
  • Recovery Menu
  • Boot Menu
  • Integrated uxMB
  • You can start 1.00 style EBOOTS
  • You can hide corrupt data icons
  • You can start ISO/DAX files
  • You can load your own plugins(PRX)
  • Autoboot EBOOTs at startup
  • Never turn off the backlight in XMB
The dev has provided us with an in-depth readme file that comes with the download. So if this creation tickles your fancy, we suggest that you understand and read the file. Anyhow, here's the download link for all of you guys.

I remember only 40 years ago, women couldn't do anything. Its still a fact, most women stay home and housewife.

Gender does have to do with it, if it didn't then there wouldn't be women fitness clubs or women/male change/washrooms. Gender does matter and the males are superior.

Yes, we may be able to bend over the back of a chair easier or run faster and lift heavier things, but in the world of programming you may be wrong. Some studies suggest that we think differently, but it obviously doesn't effect her outdoing all of you guys who have replied in programming here.

There are plenty of male prostitutes. Your really only insulting yourself. What is this widespread notion that girls are dumber? Girls kill men in most academic areas other then math on the average. What is all this bull? 40 years ago? as in 1967? Women gained suffrage (the right to vote) in 1920. They have had all of the same rights since then. You "men" aren't too bright here. Grow up.

Take your planeteers and hit the road.
I can't believe they're airing re-runs of that crap.

Anyways, I think that the majority of people that are still on 1.5, are there because they're afraid to flash, so even though this is a great development, I don't see a whole lot of people using it.

and sorry to say the developer of this should of just quit cuz this is nothing compared to 3.03OE-C

   Re: jayo83 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-19
 » what the *****!

im on 303oeb but i think 1.50 is still the original golden firmware,this is where it all started even though the first firmware to get hacked was 1.00.....1.50 is where everything began and developed for over a year,the only thing that made me go custom was the ability to launch all my media from the psp xmb,worth the risk of flashing my psp.
..............psp rules...............

 » Hey...

What do you think the changelog means when it says "NEVER TURN OFF BACKLIGHT IN XMB" what do you think could go wrong,?


   Re: manaox2 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-19
 » I would think that means that the backlight never goes off then if you set that option

As for what could go wrong, try to imagine the worst image burnin you've ever seen of the psp loading pmf. Now try to imagine the possible uses. Movies? not quite as nice without the better avc format support and 480 x 272 in the xmb is it? What about visualizations? dude, you don't have those. Lets just pretend that half those isos you have will work without the newer kernels and that you have the gall to actually convert ciso format to dax for use with this instead of devhook (which is what your sure to be using a lot with this).

Nah, its like seeing a work of art made to recognize the days of yore. 1.50 is a beautiful thing. I truly believe that has been effectively replaced though without a doubt in my mind. I think Snarg nails it when he says that anyone who hasn't changed is more afraid to flash then they are loyal to the pure 1.50. I do think that it is a cool accomplishment though and that it may lead to an interesting development in other areas for the future.

 » Good news

Great to see 1.5 homebrew with some life in it still. While I prefer 3.xxOE cfw, may I remind the doubters that 1.53 has the following advantages over the OE cfw:

- A lot more customizable: the 1.50 has been completely hacked.

- More room left in flash still: a hell of a lot more homebrew features/plugins can still be added to it.

So, it's up to you to choose what matters to you the most: a more feature-rich cfw, or one that is dedicated to homebrew and more easily customizable.

Thank you for sharing your work with us, eiffel56. :)
