Patience, PSP... - Image 1


PSP-Generation claims Dark_Alex's planning to push 3.30 OE custom firmware out the receiving door within "48-72 hours". Given the timings between the news on April 1 (it's just a calendar date, after all), and the 3.30 decrypter, this claim is quite credible on the best analysis.

The devil is in the details, though. PSP-Gen explains that Dark_Alex found 3.30 using up quite a lot of the PSP's flash memory, which is complicating efforts to add bonus functions. Hence, the 48-72 hour thing: he's trying to make up his mind between releasing 3.30 OE as is, and add bonus functions through patches later, or release it later with the bonus functions built in.

Well, so far as current PSP games aren't demanding 3.30, maybe it can wait, but with the improvements to movie playback...

this does NOT mean there will be a downgrader for 3.30. This simply means that Dark_Alex is modifying the 3.30 firmware so that it can run homebrew

 » Cool

I think I'd rather just wait for the better version. DA does awesome stuff when he does it for a set time. It'd be great to see what it'd be like if he put everything he wanted to into one firmware.

Still don't see why he hasn't used the memory stick to store parts of the firmware yet, but I suppose as it woud be a quick easy way to solve the space problems, so he must have some reason for not resorting to it yet.

That said, I also can't wait for it to come out >_

He made it give a custom error for the network update, I'm sure he could make the paths to non critical parts changeable. I mean stuff like the location free player and the internet browser, not the boot or XMB files.

the most important virtue here is patience. Custom firmwares don't just pop out of the ground, there is a lot of work that goes into them...

Hopefully it DOESN'T support custom themes. That way developers might actually start making USEFUL things instead of useless crap that makes your PSP shiny.

Actually, the themes are already made anyway. Stupid *****. It will just stop people from upgrading to it just like people didn't go to 3.10 OE. If it doesn't I'm staying at 3.03OE C... unless my games requisite it.

"Well, so far as current PSP games aren't demanding 3.30, maybe it can wait, but with the improvements to movie playback..."

What improvements to movie playback have been made in 3.30 that aren't in DAX's OE firmware already? You can already play back movies at the PSP's native resolution.

Quite frankly, the ability to play anything higher than 480x272 is utterly useless - the video will simply be downscaled to the PSP's resolution, the file size will be significantly larger, and the picture quality won't be improved any at all.

Anyways, keep up the work DAX! You rock.

The one good thing I can think of is if you already have an AVC, mpeg or other 3.30-readable file, you don't have to waste the time re-converting it for PSP viewing if you have the extra space to waste and don't mind wasting it.

   Re: ME (Unregistered) - 2007-04-03
 » Well....

The update would include any of sony's features that may be slightly more polished then the features produced by the homebrew community. The post hints at better movie playback, and yeah there are homebrew apps for improved playback, but they seem to have limits and crash a lot. so maybe this update includes a change that crashes less and is more consistent on that front.
