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

 » No Visible ISOs

I just upgraded from SE-B'' and now i can't see my (legally backed up) ISOs in the XMB. Also, are the GAME150 and GAME271 Folders of any use any more, the items in GAME271 aren't showing up anymore, i'm not sure about the GAME150 Folder, i don't have any Hombrew in that folder, i had SE-B'' set so the GAME folder is 1.50 kernel. I think i will go back to SE-B''. Good Work Anyway Dark_Alex

i dont think is supposed to say GAME271...it should have Game folder and GAME150....

   Re: Dinesy - 2006-11-25
 » There is

If u have the folder "GAME" set up for 1.50 kernel, the folder "GAME271" will work as your 2.71 kernel game folder. Anyways, i got it working now

how do u use the seplugins? i did exactly what the read me said and its not working


   Re: JOshISPoser - 2006-11-25
 » it's a bit wierd

you make a folder called seplugins on the root of you memory stick. then you place the prx in there. then create either a game.txt for ingame prx's like cwcheat or make a vsh.txt for xmb prx's. Inside the game/vsh.txt you ms0:/seplugins/xxx.prx. I can't quite get it to work, but it can recognize it.

 » I Fixed It

Hey helper, formatting my mem stick didn't work, so i went throught all of the steps again to reinstall SE-C, and i was a little hasty before and just used that DATA.DXAR that i had backed up from installing SE-A, and on top of that, i didn't check the MD5. I now just made a DATA.DXAR using the new update maker, and it worked.

Word from the wise, make a new DATA.DXAR

I can't get DevHook to work. When I click start, the screens goes black and shuts off.

It was working fine on SE-B.

PS: I did put the devhook flash fix that SE-C comes with.

 » 2.71 SE-C

I currently have 2.71 SE-B installed and before upgrading, I want to know wuts so new about this??? I don't get the part about "loading modules from memory stick." Why is that really important since I can run all 1.5 homebrew on SE-B like DJEN, SNES and PSPRADIO. It'll be great if someone can explain wuts so great about this firmware?
