3.10 OE-A custom firmware out and about

Quick results well appreciated. Dark_Alex has released (oh yes, you’ve got to love a jump in the tenths) 3.10 Open Edition Rev. A (OE-A), which means that our PSP users will have a very busy time with the download site after reading this. And as a first release, installation will have to be done the long way around, as a full installation using OEUPDMAKER and 310oeflasher.

Instructions are at the Readme, as well as the all-important checksum values that tell you whether the entire process came out right or… gulp, not. We encourage you to read the Readme. As always, the installation process has a small chance of bricking your PSPs, which is yet another good reason to read the Readme.

Finally, the changelog he provides, also known among us as “Reasons to be Grateful”:

• Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10
• 4th level of brightness (aka battery eater) can now be selected also without ac adaptor.
• Changes in hen core:
• Static user elf’s can now be executed in the 3.10 kernel. (this includes snes user version between other programs)
• Tyranid‘s patch (added in 3.03 OE-C) consequences was not explained very well in the changelog of 3.03 OE-C:
• For programmers: it allows kernel modules to have user imports, making kernel programming in 3.03/3.10 less strict.
• For users: plugins and applications that worked in 2.71 SE, but not in OE, *may* now work in 3.03OE-C and 3.10 OE-A.

POPS-related important note:

The plugin to load 3.02 pops won’t work anymore in 3.10 OE, due to some changes in pops modules structure (meaudio fused with popsman, idcanager/idmanager behaviour slightly changed). A new plugin for 3.10 could be written next week.

We’ll hang around for that one. Why aren’t you clicking on the Download link yet?
