3.30 OE Custom FW update: PSOne emulation! *UPDATE*
A couple of days ago, Dark_AleX mentioned that he had problems (UP failure) with his PlayStation Portable (PSP) and is still waiting for a new one. This means no 3.30 OE custom firmware yet. There’s really no big deal in that, when you really think about it. What we say ’round here is you got to brick some in order to crack some.
Anyway, there’s a new update regarding DAX’s development on the new custom firmware. In our last post, we mentioned that should it ever come out, there will be “no new big innovations.” However, we found out today that could not be entirely the whole case.
The beans were spilled by coder Mathieulh in a conversation with PSPGen‘s MaGiXieN, and according to him, while the firmware will not have any new big innovations, users might be delighted to know that a PlayStation 1 (PSOne) emulator has been integrated. The coder added that this was accidentally discovered when they learned that it is possible to regulate the loading time of PSOne ISOs. (The following is quoted from PSPGen, translated via weblator.)
Previously, in the old versions, the speed of the loading was done with identical compared to the PS1. Today, it will be possible, via an option, to choose between the original mode and an accelerated loading! We benefit from the occasion to say to you that the 3.30OE is in good way and that, DarK_Alex not having still a PSP, it still does not have there a precise date envisaged.
So there. Let’s just wait and hope that the new custom firmware will finally be made without any more bricked PSP units from our well-loved homebrew developers.
UPDATE: Thanks to QJ blogger Pranav, we’ve been able to shed more light on just what kind of surprises 3.30 OE Custom Firmware will bring. The surprise would be in the emulator and not the emulator itself. Apparently, the surprise is a faster PS1 game loading using the new disc loading option. With that feature, you could expect to have faster loading speeds in PS1 games.
The disc loading option is actually included by Sony in their latest firmware and since Dark_AleX is currently hard at work with 3.30 OE, this feature would likely be included in his latest custom firmware. Keep checking us out for updates.
