First of all to be able to flash your PSP with Dark Alex's new custom firmware you need one of the following:
- a PSP with firmware 1.5
- a PSP with Dark Alex's custom firmware 2.71 SE
if you have none of these read no further and use our guide to downgrade your PSP to 1.50
Key Features of the 3.02 OE-B firmware:
- Play Playsation (PSX) Games on your PSP!
- Play ISOs straight from your memorystick, no need for Devhook nor any other software
- includes 3.02 kernel as well as 1.50 kernel which means Homebrew for both firmware versions is supported
- Recovery Menu for easy fallback to 1.50 as well as a lot of tweaking possiblities
How to flash your PSP to 3.02 OE-B:
First of all let's gather evrything you need for this
- Dark Alex's firmware upgrade 3.02 OE-A (http://dl.qj.net/3.02-OE-A-by-Dark_AleX-Hacks-Exploits-PSP/pg/12/fid/11867/catid/114)
- Dark Alex's firmware upgrade 3.02 OE-B (http://dl.qj.net/3.02-OE-B-by-Dark_AleX-Hacks-Exploits-PSP/pg/12/fid/11922/catid/114)
- Eboot of the original firmware version 1.50 (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/4)
- Eboot of the original firmware version 3.02 (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/937)
(these are the files i used and it worked just fine :thumbs: )
Now here is what you do:
- connect your PSP to your USB
- unpack the package with the files of Dark Alex's 3.02 OE-A firmware
- unpack both original update EBOOTs (1.50 and 3.02) and rename them like this:
the 1.50 "EBOOT.PBP" -> "150.PBP"
the 3.02 "EBOOT.PBP" -> "302.PBP"
- copy the folders "oeupmaker" and "oeupmaker%" to your GAME folder on your PSP.
(Note: if you are using a PSP with firmware 2.71 SE copy both folders to your GAME150 folder instead!)
- copy both files (150.PBP and 302.PBP) to the "oeupmaker" folder on your PSP.
- disconnect PSP from USB
- start OEUPMAKER ON your PSP from the Game Menu
(Note: this program does nothing to your flash, it only creates a DATA.DXAR file which is needed for the update and includes both firmware's kernels)
OEUPMAKER will run a test when it has finished creating the DATA.DXAR file. If the check is ok you are clear to proceed to the next step
- reconnect your PSP to the USB
- copy the "302oeflasher" and "302oeflasher%" folders to your GAME folder on your PSP.
(Note: again, if you use a 2.71 SE firmware PSP copy those to your GAME150 folder)
- move the DATA.DXAR file from the "OEUPMAKER" folder on the PSP to the "302OEFLASHER" folder on your PSP.
- disconnect PSP from USB
- launch 302OEFLASHER from your game menu
(this will launch the flash-update!!! note that this procedure could brick your PSP!!! we don't take responsibility for any problems that could occur during this procedure. Proceed on your own risk!)
- wait for the upgrade to finish. it will tell you to reboot your PSP manually. reboot manually now :smartass:
Your PSP should now have firmware version 3.02 OE-A
Now, we wanted to flash to 3.02 OE-B didn't we?
Here is what you you do:
- unzip the 3.02 OE-B archive
- create a "GAME150" folder in the "PSP" folder on your PSP. (not needed for those of you who had 2.71 SE)
- copy the "OEB_UPDATE" folder from the archive to your GAME150 folder
- disconnect your PSP from USB
- launch OEB-UPDATE from your Game Menu
(this update will only take seconds and will reboot your PSP automatically)
Done! You should now have a PSP with Firmware 3.02 OE-B.
