Ó

PSP - Image 1Sony has just released Firmware 3.11 for their PSP handheld. This update fixes the freezing bug found in the downloadable-for-PSP title R-Type.

Apart from the bug fix, we don't have any details yet on what security patches are included in the new firmware (if there are any, that is). You can download it below, or better yet, wait until 3.11 OE rolls around. Word has it in various forums that there aren't any big changes in the core module, so theoretically, it would be easier to crack than 3.10.

Still, it's highly encouraged that you wait for further details before making any updates. Hey, 3.10 was decrypted within 24 hours anyway, so we all shouldn't have to wait that long. Download link's below in case you guys want to tinker with it.

This was easy to decrypt. (THEDEVIL did it fairly easily). there are few security patches in it.

wow. Dark Alex can patch a firmware problem quicker than sony does by a few days. long live homebrew!

   Re: SourLemon06 - 2007-02-08
 » Wrong!!

Dark_AleX already made 3.10 OE-A' Which has the r-type fix in my opinion DAX should change 3.10 OE-A' name to 3.11 OE-A

If you update to this fw YOUR SCREWED 3.03 has a downgrader and thats the highest. Only DAX fw's and 1.5 can run homebrew. Hope that answers your question :)

Why do you even provide a download link if you advise people not to update. The people who update will probably do it via network update anyway.

Because if you want to upgrade to a "nearly coming" 3.11 OE, you will have to use the 3.11 oficial update... isn't it?

I agree. D_A should take a rest for himself, and wait until the next real firmware release (unless this turns out to have some updated POP functionality that wasn't mentioned).

i think sony are panicking because every firmware they release are getting hacked. I bet they have rushed the release of this new firmware and can be hacked within a week!!

well...i dont play much iso or UMD games...so i guess i wont keep on flashing my psp...getting really annoying, also scared that one day the flash would die out somehow. But all these sony updates are pretty pointless.

"But all these sony updates are pretty pointless."

Oh please, before 3.00 you cannot have good emulation of PSX
Before 2.7 - You cannot have flash player on internet
Before 2.5 - You cannot have good movie codecs
Before 2.0 - You cannot have internet browser
Before 1.5 - You cannot do most.

So basically 1.5 people, INSTALL DARK_ALEX's CUSTOM FIRMWARE. you get the features of the 3.02, 3.03, etc. with the homebrew freedom of 1.5. SO, sell your soul to DAX for firmware :)

Without these updates from Sony you would have had nothing from Dark_Alex...think before you speak! Give Dark_Alex the credit he deserves but being a Sony basher just because they care about their product is just stupid!

You should just ignore this update and save your energy for Downgrading future Sony FW updates. BTW THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for your 3.03 downgrader, with your help i was able to hook up all my homies with the best the psp has to offer, thanks again. Will send donations when i can :)

No u wont there is no point DAX should jst change the name of 3.10 OE-A' to 3.11 OE-A

   Re: Swifta (Unregistered) - 2007-02-09
 » .

There is enough of a reason to make a 3.11 OE. One being that its another firmware cracked and customised and two being that it COMES with the fix with that ps1 game.

Also, if its renamed to 3.11 OE-A, then the firmware is 3.11 OE-A. L2forum

 » Think again!

Before you ***** i n g n00bs cry about Sony's updates, THINK AGAIN!!!!

Without there wouldn't be a PSX Emulator, no Internet and even NO PSP!!!! So thank D_A, but c'mon , Sony's Workers are just doing is Job! I think you also wouldn't like it when your Handheld is being hacked......

When Sony would allow PSP games from Mem Stick, nearly everybody would download PSP games and they wouldn't buy them anymore. What's the end of the story?

PSP would die........

So be happy that you can use Hb!!!!


   Re: conzie (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08
 » well said

also without the sony updates there would be no CFWs, because the CFWs are basically the highest decrypted sony firmware of the time it was released, plus 1.5 subsets and some extra stuff thrown into the pot. but to make this is still pretty damn f**king hard

If DAX Will make a 3.11 OE-A I wish he make one with 3.03 hen where u don't need gta lcs... so i can update my 3.03 to the 3.11 oe-a :P

   by Atvaark (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08
 » this update...

i think it's only meant as a bugfix like the poster said, added security measures probably just a feeble attempt that sony must include to make others think they're still trying to block access to homebrew. I'd say skip the 3.11 OE dark_alex, take a rest and wait until an actual game requires such an update.

by the way, is there even a game that needs something higher than 3.0? besides psx games...until a new REAL firmware is out, coders should just concentrate on 3.10, making it better and maybe some new homebrew...

and Dark_Alex, take a break already, you deserve it.
