PSPIt's been a while since we've seen teasers of Team FWi's 3.01SE, which is basically a 2.71 SE-C with 3.01 bits thrown in for the extra VSH functions. And while this might not seem much after looking at the latest Devhook, you have to remember that this has been in the works since quite a long time. Plus, when you run this, it flashes the 3.01 bits to your PSP so that the result is a seamless mix of 2.71 SE-C and 3.01.

Here's the list of features in this version:

  • 1.00/1.50 eboots
  • 2.xx/2.71 eboots (Remember theres no such thing as 3.xx eboots YET!)
  • ISO/CSO loading from XMB (no-umd as well)
  • MP3 Visualizer
  • Video Player
  • Photo Viewer
  • System Settings (Power Save menu cannot be accessed, also causes first time run problems.)
  • UMD Auto-Start Setting
  • USB Connection (Mass Storage)
  • WiFi (Ingame, as there is nowhere else to use it.)
  • Anything that has yet to be mentioned.
Since this is more of a hack job, a few things are non-working for now. We hope they can fix it in their upcoming releases. Here's a list of not-working things:


You have to make sure that you install it on a freshly installed 2.71 SE-C. This is the only install method.


For the full instructions and notes, make sure to check out the readme.

so, what's working exactly!!!!


   Re: rubbish (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » hum bug

MP3 Visualizer is the only thing but we lose RSS, web browser, and game sharing so it usless really

don't see how they can call it 3.01

til this is more stable, devhook 3.01 rules. but i never thought it could be done so quickly (3.00 SE) well done fwi

   Re: some white dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » agreed

while this is kinda cool and looks like it took a lot of effort it just can't compare to having FULL 3.01 emulation through devhook. why would u bother to install this instead? 2.71se-c + devhook 3.01 firmware emulation + chronic. it don't get better than that.

 » so we get 1.5 back again

I like 2.71 SE cuz it is like 2.71 with browser, flash and all that stuff AND homebrew support

3.01 without PS1 and without browser, it's like having 1.5 again

Could have remove the Location Free TV instead of Web Browser. Keep it jump Team FWi. Good Job. Hope Dark Alex won't quit n join in the fun !

 » 3.01 SE

YEAH BABY EFF THE EFFING STUPID WEB BROWSER AND RSS CHANELS WE DONT EVEN USE THOSE , BUT THE MP3 AND HOME BREW LOVERS WILL LOVE THIS BABY LIKE ME, IF YOU WANNA USE WEB BROWSER JUST WAIT FOR A UPDATE OF 3.01 SE - B OR USE DEV HOOK.

I think they removed the webbrowser because of issues and they just didnt want to admit as many had problems with the webbrowser in 2.82 but maybe im wrong they've done a good job to get this working and shame it isnt fully working id install but would rather not risk bricking my second psp ;[ and doesnt seem worth it without the browser and so on ;[ big steps tho in the psp scence thanks :)

   by blackmobb - 2006-12-05
 » Interesting

This is interesting. The only really thing I want from this is the mp3 visualizers and I for one am not really interested in the ps1 emulator (have it full speed on my xbox, pc, and psx) This sounds nice but I will wait for one that includes a web browser. Nice Job on it though.

It would be nice to have ps1 emulation on my psp to show off but I dont really want to play ps1 games with 1 joystick.

UMD games that need FW higher then 2.71 don't work for me, so how can they call this 3.01 it's NOT is it, this is more like a step backwards from 2.71 SE-C LOL

 » why would i want to update to this

why would i want to update to this aparrent 3.01 se when you lose features plus having not been made by a coder ive heard of before i.e. dark alex i dont really trsut this upgrade why would i want to upgrade to this 3.01 se when the features of it dont work when i can just use devhook to emulate it and have it work fine i really dont see the point of this just yet


   Re: Tyrael (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » My Opinion

Exactly!! the only thing they did is throwing some 3.x prx files into the 2.71se-c
They shouldn't call it 3.01SE cos' it would be a name for a Dark Alex GOOD Custom Firmware

should i "upgrade" to this or not. i could care less about the browser and rss and dont use them any way. from what i hear its hell buggy and it seems like alot of work to get homebrew working.

 » ¬¬

Isn't this those from the "dr download" version?
If yes, this has bothing to do with the Team FWi, and eve its can't use the name "SE", 'cause when (if) Dark_AleX release the REAL 3.01SE it will cause confusion.

And thin is incomplete, with a lot of thing non-working...

Shame on the guy who put that name only to have more popularity... ¬¬

SE is from Dark_AleX and no one else.

c'ya.


   Re: oCanaDa (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » !!

this has nothing to do with dr downloads installer (actually his was based on JamesBDX mod) If Dark_AleX has left the scene be greatful some ones trying to keep custom firmware alive.

   Re: Koyuki (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » "SE" name

But, imho using the name SE is nothing good.

Because of things like this that Dark_AleX leave the scene, first a lame site impersonate Dark_AleX as a forum member, then a looser create a .com site with DA name to release brickers and now, some people release a hexedited 2.71SE/3.01 hybrid as "3.01 SE".

Sorry, but if they named their work other way, that's fine, but using SE's name is so much lame.


SE is a Dark_AleX work, and the name should be used only by him.
If he leaves de scene, fine, so no more SE.
But if some other guy wats to release a new REAL cf as SE, just ask Dark_AleX aproval or simply use another name.

Use the 3.01SE name only for a mixed prx is wrong, extremelly wrong.


   Re: some white dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » agreed

it seems like a lot of posers are riding dark_alex's coat tails by doing ***** like this. this is a incomplete p.o.s. and i agree that this 'FWi' hex edit crew should not use the SE name. that is a dark_alex creation and this 'hack team' is not even remotely on the same level as the king and it's a disrespect to use his SE title for this p.o.s. FWi rethink your actions and change the name to custom firmware p.o.c. cause that's what it is. it's missing a lot of features. do not disrespect d_a.

It cant read isos , so I´ll flash back to se-c again

   by jamesbdx (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » of course isos work

of course it reads isos, try enabling plain modules in the recovery menu. people can't brick their psp with this as long as they try it from a fresh se-c. why? because at worst it can only cause a semi brick. this is real, this works fine, there are no browser functions for now but we may release a second version soon. that's it...
