PSPJust a few short minutes after releasing HEN D, Dark_AleX has just released 2.71 SE-C Custom Firmware, the update to the new golden firmware.

And while the changelog is small to say the least, the great thing is that the newly released SDK along with it will make sure that all the new updates will actually be rolled out in the form of modules.

Changes:

  • The ability to load modules from the memory stick
The installation this time isn't a simple upgrade. You will have to install the firmware from scratch, though the install method is pretty simple and all those who've installed 2.71 SE before will feel right at home. Here's the instructions to get 2.71 SE-C on your PSP.
  • Extract seupdmaker, seupdmaker%, 271seflasher and 271seflasher% from the NEWINSTALL folder into your GAME150 Folder (GAME folder on 1.50 or if you've changed it from the Recovery menu in 2.71 SE)
  • Download the 1.50 and 2.71 Firmware updates.
  • Rename the update PBP files to 150.PBP and 271.PBP
  • Move them to the seupdmaker folder.
  • After that, run the Update Maker application from the GAME menu. Once it's done making the DXAR file, move the newly generated DXAR file to the 271seflasher folder.
  • Run 271 SE Flasher from the GAME menu to install 2.71 SE-C.
  • Once installed, you can delete all the four folders.
You can check out our previous 2.71 SE release coverage for more detailed instructions.

Note: Before installation, you should probably check if the generated DXAR file is the correct size and clean. You can do that by downloading any app which generates a MD5 checksum and comparing it with the one given below.
SHA1 of DXAR: A283CFC4EFA274A1A41C7A11E7EFF8FE1A59473A
MD5 of DXAR: E51EFACDAAF088F0308857FFDA6C18FA

I am working on an auto-install for this. That way noobs can just run the update on their PSP's without all the complicated steps. It makes the DXAR file from the eboots, and then puts it all in the right place on the PSP. I'll post it when it is done, and out of testing which is predicted to be about 8:30 tonight.

Hey, I needa someone to send me a copy of the DXAR file that is used to install SE-C i need it to base the code of the Auto-Install Program on. I'll give you partial credit for the program. Send it to: Brendan09@gmail.com

I'm pretty sure you can't distribute those files legally. That is why you need to make your own from the 1.5/2.71 update. Just FYI.

how do u upgrade from 2.71 SE-B to 2.71 SE-C


   Re: Helper (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » U cant

Yea you have to flash-back to 1.5 using the recovery. THen use the Flasher to 2.71 SE-c!

   Re: B-R8 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » Uh no. (To Helper)

I created the Data.dxar file, and updated from SE-B" to SE-C. There is no need to downgrade to 1.5 to get to SE-C. If you had read the Readme.txt, you would have known this.

you renamed it "150.PBP" its supposed to be "150"

   Re: eggwonder (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » uh...

duh... its supposed to be "150.PBP" if it can't open it then make sure you put it in the seupdatemaker folder(make sure it dont have the "%" at the end)

   Re: . (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » .

no! you're all *****ing idiots. if it's already a PBP file and you rename it 150.PBP it will essentially become 150.PBP.PBP

   Re: that depends (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25

if you're gay and have default windows setup, yeah it would be .pbp.pbp. but if you disable the hide extentions for known file types in the folder options menu, it will show the extention. way to fail script kiddies.

 » yo not much help..

cheers for the update alex but there is one small thing i'd like to say that this will probably only be useful for developer,as you can already install modules which are packaged as eboots.... i.e. the mp3 module which is great,but nonetheless alex will soon be challenging sony for update speed lol...and i bet he has better consumer service!

 » SE-B* to SE-C

From The Readme:

If you are in a previous version of SE, simply copy the seupdmake, seupdmaker%, 271seflasher and 271seflasher% folders to
/PSP/GAME150 and follow the same instructions than when installing from 1.50.

Do you think that if i upgrade the frogram called 2.71 SE customizer will work on se-c? cuz i want to upgrade but if i do i will have to flash my psp gameboot and background again. SO im just wondering if this program is safe using se-c...Thanks

There is no different between 2.71SE-B'' and SE-C. :( I'm very disappoint.

   Re: clintarjones (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » so far

Hello gay person who tried to post as me.. don't know what else to do. i didn't have a previous SE installed, just followed these instructions here to install. Looks like everything went fine. I don't see anything in the README about if I have to create folders for 1.5 homebrew or something. Is that something you have to do? I didn't see anything about that anywhere. The PSP logo comes up, and then the light flashes as if it's reading the memory stick, and just stops there.

   Re: clintarjones (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » so far so good

ok, thanks to all you helpful people, i figured it out. just had to put my 1.5 homebrew in to a GAME150 directory in PSP. Working fine now. This is nice. Thank you alex.

   Re: debug (Unregistered) - 2006-11-25
 » game folder homebrew kernel

in the recovery menu configuration there's a game folder homebrew: (currently: 2.71 kernel) option, change that to 1.50 kernel and it will load them from the game folder. you can also hide corrupt icons here, since there's no reason not to.

during the installaiton from 1.5 to se-c, the program will format the flash0 (to make a clean installation) b4 dumping the files into it.

I think I'll pass on this one as I don't use any supplementary modules. I was hoping for the built in speed selector but I guess we will have to wait for SED :)
