The first 3.xx custom firmware for the PSP has been released by Dark_Alex a few hours ago, and I have upgraded my psp without no problems. The only issues so far are:
- Some people are having problems retaining their wallpapers.
- You WILL get a BSOD when you go to “System Settings”, just press circle and it’ll reformat flash1 (the good flash)
- Some ISOs will not work, although that is not an issue if you have legitimately bought umds (me).
- CPU Speed has not been implemented.
- EDIT: Some people have had problems with corrupted savegames. Although, mine work fine.
I have not encountered any of the issues above, except number 2 which EVERYONE WILL get.
There have been no known bricks so far, although some people have had ’semi-bricks’. This was caused by some 2.71 SE-C modules that were not compatible with 3.02. Other people have fixed this problem by disabling the modules, and disabling the “AutoRun program at /PSP/GAME/AUTORUN………” option.
Oh, did I mention the PS1 emulator (term used loosely) has been cracked. ISOS of your favorite PS1 games will probably start showing up on the web soon.
AS USUAL: THIS PROGRAM MODIFIES YOUR FLASH. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT A DISCLAIMER BEFORE IT WRITES TO YOUR FLASH. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR PSP’S BATTERY, TURN OFF YOUR PSP, OR UNPLUG IT FROM AC POWER WHILE YOU ARE WRITING TO THE FLASH OR YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICK.
Otherwise, Enjoy.
