PSP - Image 1Homebrew developer becus25 just came up with a new build for his custom firmware. This project has really come along way and if we may add, there's a high possibility that the future of the homebrew scene lies on it since we all know what happened to DAX.

3.40 IE is an expansion for the 3.40 OE-A custom firmware. You can install it from 3.40 OE-A. Here's the complete changelog for this build as provided by becus25 himself:

  • You have two recoverys
  • On the second recovery (of IE), you can change the speed of CPU, the access by USB for ms0, flash0/1/2.
  • Also you can enable a other autoboot located on "pspgamebooteboot.pbp" and do more things of the recovery of OE
On an additional note, becus25 mentioned that to use the recovery of IE, you have to enable the autoboot option from the recovery of OE. Turn off your PlayStation Portable unit, turn it on then press the start button to execute the recovery of IE.

Finally, the download does not include a readme file, so please be very careful when running this homebrew. You can click on the Via link below for more information of check our PSP Development Forums.

*(i upgraded from 3.03oe-c to 3.40oe-a ...and well lol i couldnt even acces teh WEB borwser it would give me the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH lol so i went to 1.5 then to 3.03 oe-c again :P)*

can i go from 3.03 oe-c
TO
3.40 ie

just like that?

Will i still have PS1 capabilitie's?

Will it be LESS buggy er then 3.40oe-a
and
can i use the plugins i have now in 3.03 oe-c in 3.40ie
like

CAPTURE prx..IN GAME
SCEA

After installing custom firmware, you should reset default setting. It will clear up blue screen of death and other problems.

Go to 3.40 OE-A. It has the same things as 3.03 OE-C now that custom XMB's work, plus a ton of patches and other things. 3.40 OE-A is currently the best firmware for PSP available.

I wanna share with you all news I found from today regarding a ps3 price drop and a 80gb ps3 from Sony, this news were at gamegossip.com so look at them:

Sony Computer Entertainment America(SCEA), Inc. today announced a new 80GB model of its PLAYSTATION3 (PS3TM) computer entertainment system. Beginning in August, the new PS3 model will be available in North America for a suggested retail price of $599/$659 CND and will be sold with the popular online-enabled racing game MotorStormTM. In conjunction with this news, the company also announced that effective immediately, the current 60GB PS3 model will be available in North America for$499/$549 CND, or $100 below the original launch price.
By featuring an expanded hard disk drive (HDD), the new 80GB PS3 is designed to appeal to the online gaming and entertainment enthusiast, providing ample storage space to download more games and other entertainment content from PLAYSTATIONNetwork. There are currently more than 60 playable games and game-related downloads available through PLAYSTATIONStore, with expanded entertainment content coming soon. The new model features the million-selling game MotorStorm in the box, allowing up to 12 players to play online at one time, hitting the dirt in this visually-arresting, fast-paced racing title.

this is the dumbest thing ive ever read today.
3.40 oe is the best custom firmware, it can handle EVERYTHING the 3.03oe_c CAN and MORE.
i have many proofs but let me say just 1 thing, try REMOTE PLAY on PS3 and you will see which works!

   Re: Unregistered_Coward (Unregistered) - 2007-07-10
 » I assume you are joking

IE would not exist without the OE Custom firmware. Becus25 has made comments that suggests he does not have the level of knowledge and expertise to continue where Dax left off. Of course he may have in the future. If Becus25 manages to release a stand-alone Custom firmware that is his own 3.40 then this will prove all doubters wrong but until then.......

 » ...

:sigh: I guess I just don't understand... Why two recovery menus? The OE recovery has ability to change cpu speeds, access usb for ms0, flash0, and flash1, and autoboot... so the only thing this REALLY adds is the ability to toggle flash2 and possibly flash3? Don't get me wrong, glad to see someone trying to pick up where DAX left off, just not sure this is the right way to go about it... thinking developers with skills like becus25 should be working on 3.51 OE or IE.. If the only new CFW developments we get are for "3.40 OE expansions" we will never progress..

look i falshed it, and i turned on the autoboot, nothing happens when i press start, i just get a black screen
maybe its the motherboard

   Re: John Comma Doe (Unregistered) - 2007-07-09
 » Agreed

3.40 OE does pretty much everything it needs to do. What we need now is someone to keep up with the official firmwares/update DevHook so we can continue to enjoy homebrew without sacrificing compatibility with newer games.
   by MaTiAz (Unregistered) - 2007-07-09
 » bleh

This isn't a custom firmware, it's just another recovery which is used as autoboot.

And besides, have you noticed that becus25 has based _ALL_ his CFW's on DAX' firmwares? I'm pretty sure there won't be a 3.51IE unless someone actually makes a *real* 3.51 CFW :P


   Re: jubba (Unregistered) - 2007-07-10
 » agree

I have to agree that although I give credit for doing anything to help the scene, there is a BIG difference between making an extension for an OE DAX creation and writing a new CF (like for 3.50 or 3.51). I very much doubt anything will come from this.
Reminds me of the old days when loads of hex edits of DevHook kept appearing...

 » Hope again

At least this provides hope that CFW will continue. Not sure as to what exactly this would add over what i already have in 3.40 oe (maybe someone could explain clearer than the article does) but when he makes 3.50/3.51 IE i sure will be updating.

Que genial que sigas los pasos de DAX, espero continues con una actualización de 3.51.
Y no hagas los mismos errores de promocionarte con todos como lo hizo él.
esperemos sigas en la escena. :D!

 » nope

This is the end of the CFW past 3.40oe. I don't think we will be seeing a 3.50/01 oe. Everyone will just have to buy the new PSP to play the newer games.


   Re: fj4 (Unregistered) - 2007-07-09
 » Wrong!

You just wait. Devhook could be updated, becus25 and others are obviously still around + working, hell, if enough people work on GoW there could even be an iso patch to avoid firmware checks.
Oh yeah, and the older PSP mobos can still upgrade to official firmware after downgrading, if one truly desires to throw away homebrew for the new crap.
Thanks and good luck becus25!!!

a hack might not be possible for 3.40 to 3.51 IE because all the files are different differnet encryptions n everything... But if there is a clean install maybe...but thats also whats keeping everyone down. the encrytions.

 » Ye all of so little faith...

I mean just because DAX left the scene does not mean it's the end of homebrew, but with this pessimistic attitude, it will be. All you people telling everybody it's the end are just handing the victory over to Sony. I'm sure there will be another DAX, if it's not becus, than someone else will take the lead. Try to do everything you can do to support the PSP Homebrew scene. Remember "If there's a will there is a way". Now let us tell Sony that the homebrew community is still here to piss you off.

i have to disagree with you on that one, sony is winnig because of people giving up, not menting any names, just just gave up and quit, if it was personl reasons , thats fine, but is it illegal to inprove upon an existiing product, well thats what dark_alex and the rest psp modders are doing improving it???

 » Lets be real shall we

Becus25 is not the next Dark Alex. If you read through his threads regarding the OE extensions he creates you will see him say ''if no 3.51 OE is released then there will not be a 3.51 IE''. Currently Becus25 does not seem to have the in depth knowledge to do a 3.51 Custom firmware but he might have in the future. I wish people would stop making comments about him ''filling Dark Alex's boots'' or how he is the ''Next Dark Alex'' without even knowing anything about his knowledge and limits. Lets be real.

 » DAX - Becuz25

All i am going to say is let the dude do his work and wait and see. Its plenty of developers out there and im sure somebody has the know how. Maybe we dont need another DAX even though his work was great and appreciated. We may just need another person to step in and show us a different light in the PSP homebrew world. If we keep using DAX leaving as a crutch then we will never have progress for the future.

Dark_Alex's Recovery Module, loads this Recovery Mode.
So even if you brick your PSP, that extra recovery mode will not load, as it needs Dark_Alex's Boot File (vshmain.prx) to automatically boot it.
