3.02 OE-B - EDIT: RELEASED

EDIT3: for ripping the games you need cygwin1.dll.  It is available at http://brentp.net/cygwin1.dll

EDIT: Link to the file: http://brentp.net/oeb.rar

As far as i know it is authentic, as it was posted by a significant member of the homebrew scene.  Enjoy

NOTE: Reading the readme and that shows that there is a program there for generating eboot.pbp files so you can play your ps1 games on your psp.  You do however need a game (preferably) hotshot golf or something for the keys.bin.

First of all, it hasn’t been released yet.  There has been a few significant developments in regards to the ps1 emulator.  Apparently the ps one games from the sony store are pretty much an iso file encrypted into an eboot.pbp file.  This essentially means that almost any ps1 game will be playable on the 3.x ps1 emulator.  This was in an informal announcement today from people close to the development of the 3.02 OE-* firmware.  By my understanding, free space left on flash0 in OE-A isn’t very hefty, so custom firmware versions might not be coming out with full features, unless the developers manage to figure out how to stop flash1 logical formatting itself.  That would give another 5mb of space, however, if flash1 were corrupted, the firmware files would be erased.  The logical way to go would to put non-essential tools like the rss feed on flash1 so if it were formatted, there would be no substantial loss.  Some freelance developers have come up with various solutions to free space on flash0. One of these solutions is kando’s gameboot location modifier.

There is also a tool to calculate the free space on your flash0, here.

Be warned that GBMOD DOES flash to your psp, so there is a minute chance of bricking.  I have not used GBMOD personally, so be careful.  You do need X-Flash or psardumper to obtain a decrypted, sigchecked 3.02 dump.

I’ll update this post when any new info pertaining to OE-B is obtained.

BTW:

Merry Christmas.
