FW3.02 OE CustomizerWe've forgotten already how many times Dark_AleX has left the community drunk and reeling because of his genius. Wasn't it just yesterday when he showered all of us mana from heaven, which is better known as Customizer Firmware 3.02 OE-A?

For some time now, such releases have always been followed by a similarly nifty homebrew application: BadBoy's customizer. This time, as you've guessed it, is not any different. As the name implies, the Customizer is a tool that helps users customize firmwares to their liking. The latest version supports the features listed below and the actual steps of applying them:

  • Change your font/gameboot/sound: Simply put the files(ltn0.pgf, gameboot.pmf or opening_plugin.rco) into the root of your Memory Stick and start the Customizer. Choose a point from the menu, wait a short time and tadaaa.
  • Change your background images: Simply put the files(01.bmp, 02.bmp, ...) into the root of your Memory Stick and start the Customizer. Choose the background you want to flash, press X, wait a short time and tadaaa
  • Change the menu text: Create a dump of Sony's Firmware 2.50. Go to flash0/vsh/resource and copy the file topmenu_plugin.rco to your Memory Stick. Just edit the file with a hex-editor. Then start the Customizer and choose the menu point.
  • Disable/Enable Network Update: Once you have started the Customizer pick point 8 or 9.
  • Dump/Flash registry: Start the customizer and choose point 10 to dump the registry. The files are saved to ms0:/system.dreg and ms0:/system.dreg. To flash the registry again put the two files (system.dreg and system.ireg) in the root of your Memory Stick and choose point 11.
  • Dump complete Flash: Choose the last Menupoint and wait a short time. After finish the dump all files are found in ms0:/flash0 and ms0:/flash1
As always, BadBoy reminds everyone that this application has the potential to brick your PSP units. Use it at your own risk and be sure that your battery has been charged at least 50%. Aside from the above mentioned, FW3.02OE Customizer v1.0 also checks first for at least 22MB free space on MS for complete Flash Dump.

BadBoy is good! Rock on!

TA-082 are al over the place and keeps been ignore while the old PSP minority keeps getting all th egoodies. If developers keep making stuff for old hardware while ignoring the rest of us TA-082 the PSP community will soon come to an end since the mayority of people own TA-082 PSP's. I'm sure that making stuff for old PSP model will end when developers see that there is only a handful left to impress.

TA-082 > Old PSP (because they are small group compare to us)

This news isn't moving the community foward, cracking the more popular TA-082 model is.

 » Erude, don't be a niave jackass.

Note: Developers are often doing their programming work for THEMSELVES, people like us are lucky they're nice enough to SHARE their work. And currently, most developers have non-TA-082 boards.

Maybe you should find someone who doesn't care about homebrew to trade your PSP with, otherwise shut up and get back in your seat. Nobody cares what you have to say.

   Re: Tomokatsu (Unregistered) - 2006-12-22
 » eruditejok3r shut up already

*****s like you who only complain about your TA-082's need to chill out. First: the developers don't owe you ANYTHING, they do their contributions to the homebrew scene out of their own generosity. Second: who siad people aren't trying to crack the other motherboard? What do you want, the entire scene to stop and drop what they are doing, just to serve your needs? The work is being done, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the scene should become stagnant, especially because, in the long run, these improvements may become in use for the TA-082 boards, once they are cracked... I've read several articles where all you do is complain, and predict the end of the homebrew scene, just shut up, and go away, if thats all you have to say.

hmmmm, I don't know, I think soon we would see a X flsh, who supports, 1.50, 2.71 sec and 3.02 Oe

   Re: Volsfan91 (Unregistered) - 2006-12-22
 » Probably not...

Probably not... X-Flash reads the index.dat to view the firmware for safety reasons. For example, it will kick you out if you aren't using 1.50 or 2.71SE-X.

How come flashing backgrounds is currently disabled. Can you enable it at this moment.

 » yeah

ive been looking into this aswell, Im not too sure if we can change backgrounds at the mo, because in previous firmwares the themes were individual bmps but in 3.02 all the themes are in one .bmp.

Too bad it's not, dumbass. Try reading into the second line a Readme next time.

It doesn't take a genius from the screenshot to tell the only thing it has in common with x-flash is that it flashes.

What exactly is this? I mean is it kind of like the new version of SE-x? Only for 3.02 instead of 2.71?

   Re: thyvillageidiot - 2006-12-22
 » as far as i know

this is simply a customizer for the new custom fw 3.02 oe-a. NOT 2.71 se-anything.

the actual release of 3.02 oe-a is on the front page, it has like 1020 jumps lol - can't miss it.
yes, this is like the the new se-x.

til its been a little bit more reviewed. like a recovery menu and a plugins screen and possible an x flash. not saying this aint cooljust hoping that 1 its gets better and 2 d_a doesnt stop on se_x For 2.71. plus no matter where i look i cant find 3.02 pbp so i guess im in luck i didnt find it. good job d-a a step in the right direction is still a step more than where we are at.

Sorry to post again but can anyone give me a link to the topmenu_plugin.rco for FW 2.50? I really don't want to figure out how to dump the entire 2.50 FW, especially when I only need the topmenu part, which I could probably download pretty easily...

I sort of have to agree with this guy, the majority of PSP,s now on release do have the TA-082 with 2.81 firmware, particulary the Pink PSP,s.
I bought one for the wife this Christmas, knowing it would be at least 2.80, but then finding out its 2.81 TA-082.
Sony is releasing these mobo,s as it is hard to find away round them.
Am replacing the mobo in the womans Pink PSP.
AS it maybe awhile before somthing comes out.

She wanted my non-TA-082.... not a feckin chance! :P


   Re: PSPZorZ - 2006-12-23
 » f

I'm pretty sure you can't replace TA-082 motherboards, or you'll brick the PSP but I'm not 100%... Yeah it's true that there are a lot of TA-082 users, but right now, a "1.50 bootstrap" is needed to have custom firmware work, and TA-082's don't have the 1.50 bootstrap. DAX said in an interview that he wants to make custom FW not need a 1.50 bootstrap, so he's probably trying his best to figure out how to make a TA-082 compatible FW, just give him some time ;)

What settings do you need because it wont work for me!

   by Wolf (Unregistered) - 2006-12-23

But the features list is wrong

Change your background images: Simply put the files(01.bmp, 02.bmp, ...) into the root of your Memory Stick and start the Customizer. Choose the background you want to flash, press X, wait a short time and tadaaa
BUT IS DISABLED.
Is what it should say!
