Dark_AleX releases 3.30 Open Edition Revision A

PSP - Image 1It’s out, folks! Dark_AleX has finally released the latest in his series of Open Edition firmware – the much-awaited 3.30 Open Edition Rev A! This is serious cause for celebration especially after days of waiting for DaX to finally give word on what’s up with his work (and what’s up with his PSP).

3.30 OE-A retains all of the original Sony 3.30 FW functions – PSOne game library support, Internet navigator, etc. – but because Dark_AleX is THE man, he’s added a lot of features and changes to his latest custom FW (some taken from PSPGen‘s release notes).

  • Homebrew support under either 1.50 or 3.30 kernel
  • Region spoofing
  • Patched a protection that prevents the FW to load higher firmware modules
  • Fixed a bug that could have caused instability in 3.10 OE after recovering from sleep mode
  • Recovery Mode
  • Direct launching of PSOne games (converted with PSP format)
  • Direct launching of demos and homebrews
  • Possibility of regulating hte speed of the PSP’s processor
  • Direct launching of ISOs/CSOs

DAX says this doesn’t support popsloader at the moment due to “Sony rearranging again the module list of pspbtcnf_pops”, but rest assured that the great dev will be making a new version that will support all current pops in 3.10 OE, 3.30 OE and maybe 3.03 OE-C. The dev also tried testing the customization of icons, but that didn’t work out.

For the full installation guide, please go over the Readme. It’s there for a reason. We know you’re all excited about the 3.30 OE-A but be mindful of what you’re doing. Take caution. This can only be installed to PSPs with firmwares 1.50, 2.71 SE, 3.02 OE, 3.03 OE, or 3.10 OE. Downgrade first if your PSP has a different FW. 3.30 OE-A cannot be installed to PSPs with FW 3.10, 3.11, or 3.30.

And enjoy!

Thanks to Eranmane and blackrave for the tip!
