2.71 Custom FirmwareDark_AleX has yet again updated his awesome 2.71 SE-B custom firmware. Now at v2, or B", the firmware has matured very well, and offers a truckload of features. Here's what's new in the latest update:

  • Added SFO version bypass to real umd's. (this should enable gta vcs umd to be played.)
  • Fixed the problem of error 0x8002012D in certain games when plain modules is enabled. Because the problem is gone, the updater will reset the option of plain modules to enabled. If for some reason you still have that error, report it and disable the option, but it should be fixed now.
  • Found and corrected 3 bugs regarding no umd.
    •  - One of them affected Virtual Tennis and potentially a lot of other games.
    •  - The other two affected GTA LCS and GTA VCS.
    •  - Some games like Burnout Legend still don't run in no-umd because of what seems a kernel stack problem.
Since this is just an update to the already released SE-B, the best way to get your PSP up to this firmware is by either installing SE-A first, and doing all the incremental updates (SE-B, SE-B', and this one SE-B"), or by installing the full version of SE-B and then going on to do the incremental updates (SE-B' and SE-B"). Our recommendation would be to first install SE-A and then do incremental updates, since that method has proven to be quite fool-proof. Click on the respective custom firmware links to be taken to its release article.

Finally, for everyone here who has been updating regularly and for those who've now reached SE-B', all you have to do is put the extracted folder in your memory stick and run the update. Remember to change the folder name to GAME if you've changed the related setting in the Recovery Menu, but those will be quite rare. Enjoy the download below!

 » does 1.5 homebrew work on 2.71 SE(what ever you call it). will upgrade(want2use browser) but I want to make sure its possible.

I'm running 1.5 firmware, and what i want is:
a firmware that runs all homebrew from firmware:(1.0>1.5>2.0)
MUST have web browser. I have a 2Gb memstick(Sandisk) with the following apps:
gpSP v0.8 1.0
iR Shell v2.1
NGEPSP 0.2.2
Snes9xTYL 0.4.2
Triple TraidPSP
PSPersonalize
Xflash v14
---------------------
I want all apps above to work on the firmware. So, I'm asking if all of this is possible on 2.71 SE(or any version).
If anyone would give me advice I would appreciate it. :)

 » Valkyrie Profile a no go

I installed Dark Alex's 2.71 SE-B and the first time i could not load anything off my memory stick, BUT, i could have gotten past the first battle in Valkyrie Profile (VP) (the one with Angrim).
Then i put the REV3 eboot into a boot folder in PSP/GAME and ran that file from the Recovery boot up in SE-B. This solved my memory card reading problem, HOWEVER, now every time i get into a battle in VP, the battle music starts, then the screen stays black and eventually my psp shuts off..... Can someone please help me fix this if there is indeed a way.

 » Valkyrie Profile does NOT WORK!!!

I just recently updated myself to 2.71 SE-B with REV 3 and for some reason, VP frezzes when i get into a battle. I really like Dark Alex's custom Firmware so a big thanks to you, BUT PLEASE find a way to resolve this issue with VP as the game is like one of the best on the market right now, and it would be greatly appreciated if i could play it once more... P.S. my friend also did the same thing and his VP does not work either.

 » 2.71 SE-B version

Question for all of you. Is it actually somehow possible to run the 2.71 SE-B firmware emulated through devhook? In other words, if I put all the 2.71 SE-B files into the 2.71 directory of devhook, could devhook emulate the firmware? I would like to run my GTA VCS without patching my real PSP.

If not, can one successfully remove the 2.71 SE-B firmware from the PSP at any given time?

Am am waiting for the firmware 3.0 from Sony which most likely will include features such as cam and GPS functions and I don't want to run into the problem of not being able to update to any real FW. I was thinking about Sony and securing all their FW's. What would happen if Sony checks the memory and finds out that the current running firmware is not matching with the checksum and therefore will refuse to update due to unknown modifikations. I really would prefer to run the great firmware emulated rather than patching my real PSP. Is there any way and if so, how???

Please email me under FalconNic@Hotmail.com if you should have any solutions or answers for me. Thanks alot and with best regards,

Falcon Nic

I'm using harleyg's custom fw 0.2, and I want to change to 2.71 SE-B, can I directly flash the 2.71 SE-B fw, or do I need to flash back to original official fw 1.5?

 » The Help you Need

Ok for the person who said they installed SE-B and cannot load off memory stick here's what you do: 1) get the Rev3 file off this site (it is the 3rd revision of SE-B) and unzip it. 2) make a folder in the PSP/GAME directory called BOOT so..... PSP/GAME/BOOT, stick the eboot file you got from REV3 into the newly created BOOT folder. 3) hard poweroff your psp and turn it back on WHILE HOLDING THE "R" BUTTON, in that screen go to configuration and look for the option autoload Eboot from PSP/GAME/BOOT or something like that and ENABLE it.... exit, and before your psp goes to desktop it will autoload the BOOT folder and upgrade the 2.71 SE-B version on your psp and now you will be able to access your memory stick
the second question... if you wanna go back to 1.5 FW without 2.71 SE-B just stick the recovery folder packed in the 2.71 SE-B zip file you downloaded and stick in the 1.50 original Firmware (you probably also downloaded) except before putting it in the recovery folder with the other eboot RENAME the 1.50 FW file to UPDATE.PBP. Once both files are in the recovery folder stick it in the PSP/GAME.... so PSP/GAME/RECOVERY (with 2 eboots 1 being the FW1.5/UPDATE.PBP and the other being the Eboot in the recovery folder) now hard poweroff the psp, turn it back on HOLDING THE "R" BUTTON and select the option that says something like load PSP RECOVERY to 1.50 or something like that and let it do it's thing... before you know it you'll be back to 1.50

Thanks for the explain, but tried this and still can't see games off the mem stick. PIcs and music is OK. System info shows me at B" so your suggestion worked in that regard. Anyone else have a suggestion?

 » What are these for?

Why does "B-3" have a dh (devhook) folder at the root but not the Devhook folders in the game dir like the old 1.5 fashion?

Is Devhook even really needed? If so for what?

Also can someone explain to me the point of the GAME folder and the GAME150 folder? I know that's where you're supposed to put the HB apps and such ... but why the two different folders??

Thanks for any useful input.

 » yehehahahehea

this happens to me and I already fix it ! before, when I play NFS Carbon in few second the game freeze and we need to start again and again. Actually we need to change something in the devhook setting ! I forgot what was that; but, I think you need to change the firmwire version (in the devhook not on the psp!) to 1.5 or 2.71 (flash) [I don't remember but when I check my psp firmwire in system info the firmwire show me 2.71 SE-A (this should be 2.71 SE-B2 or 2.71 SE-B2) ehehehe] and make the devhook start without restart the psp, I think.

sorry, my bad english ! I still waiting for Firmwire 3.00 SE-B cameout because I saw my friend psp, the sony psp add many new stuff like we can use camera and take video !
