3.00 IE-A Update1 (Hybrid Firmware)

Homebrew developer becus25 has really come a long way. We have to say that a handful of PSP users didn’t have much faith in him when he first came up with his own custom firmwares. But becus25 kept on coding and kept on improving and this next release is the fruit of all those hardships.

Known as 3.00 IE-A Update 1, this custom firmware is hybrid firmware in more ways than one because it incorporates features of FWs 3.00 (VSH/XMB) and 2.71 (kernel). Aside from that, it is also a marriage of IE and SE as it allows users to have two different recoveries. For the IE part, this version only includes the recovery for OE firmwares.

Anyway, there’s quite an interesting possibility with this firmware that hasn’t been exploited even by becus25 himself yet. Like we said, 3.00 IE-A comes with the kernel of 2.71. While the program doesn’t come with the IRShell application, it can support it fully theoretically speaking.

We would definitely keep a close eye on this one because we believe that this custom firmware will just keep getting better and better. Nice work becus25! On a last note, please refer first to the file’s Readme file before installing this on your PlayStation Portable unit.
