I hate to keep upgrading, but the features DA keeps bringing us over the last few weeks are impossible to ignore.
It seemed only a few weeks a go that devhook was the favoured system, now its almost a memory.
I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

Devhook is pretty much dead now if you ask me. There is no longer any point to it, only for those still scared to update their virgin 1.5 systems and want to use Devhook instead.
I updated my Virgin 1.5 to D_A firmware, best thing I ever did to my PSP. No more devhook. Though I respect those who kept supporting it and creating updates for it, so kudos to those guys.

I've been using devhook for quite a while now, and I just noticed this custom firmware from alex.
What are the main features of this firmware? Can it run psp games in .cso/.iso format (like devhook did). And how does the psx emulation work, where do I put the game files in order to run them?
thanks in advance

I wonder if Dark Alex can build a house out of bricked PSP's...
He sure has to waste a lot of those while trying out his code...

OMG You have missed alot of fun  ... Forgot 1.5 Firmware, thats a thing of the past now...
Dark Alex's custom firmware allows booting of ISO / CSO games Direct from the Game menu!!! Also allows the booting of all homebrew. The PSX emulation works by using Sonys inbuilt PSX Emu (You will get the PSX to PSP image converter with Dark Alex's custom firmware) and the converted PSX games just go into your GAME folder and you just select them from the game menu.
To sum it up, DA custom Firmware is the official 3.03 firmware but with the ability to run homebrew like 1.5 plus alot more (Its actually a combination of 3.03 and 1.5 firmware files..)
Just upgrade to it, I guarantee (and so will 99.9% of people in the PSP Scene) that you will not be disapointed with it!!! 
Heres a quote from MAxconsole with some comparisons -
| Quote: | LEGEND
+++= 3.0X OE-X Exclusive
++ = Advantage 3.0X OE-X Also possible on 1.50 but you have to start Devhook (Firmware loaded from MS) or X-Flash
+ = Also possible on 1.50 but you have to start Devhook (Firmware loaded from MS)
= Not an Advantage but a Feature like in 1.50
- = Not possible (Contra)
1.50 ADVANTAGES
+ All Homebrew working (UMD-Emulator or PSPSet and PSP-Movie UMD Backups loading)
+ Play new PSP Games that require Firmware up to 3.03 (-Have to use Devhook)
+ New Media Formats playable (-Have to use Devhook)
+ All 3.03 Features and Enhancements over 1.50 (Music, Visualizer, h264, WMA, H264, Flash and More Media TypesPlayback...)
+ Stable official Sony Firmware
+ Emulate every Firmware (-with Devhook) without flashing MCP
3.0X OE-X ADVANTAGES
+++ Hacked PSX Emulator (Play your own PSX-Disk Backups converted and compressed to Eboot)
+++ Memory Sticks over 4GB supported (8GB and bigger)
+++ No Space on the Memory Stick needed (Everything is in Flash while Devhook needs around 20MB MS-Space)
+++ Recovery Mode (Rescue a Semi-Bricked PSP and configure Special features)
+++ Region Free (Changer)
+++ X-O Button changer (for imported JAP PSP's for Example) integrated into Firmware
+++ 3.0X Features and 1.50 Features in one FW without Devhook
++ All 3.0X Features and Enhancements over 1.50 (Music, Visualizer, h264, WMA, H264, Flash and More Media TypesPlayback...)
++ PRX-Plugins from MemoryStick (Overclock to 333MHZ, Brightness Level 4 without AC, Cheat Module...)
++ Load PSP-Backups from XMB (Save Battery and faster Loading Times)
++ Load compressed PSP-Backups (CSO, alot smaller but Games like GTA Lag)
++ NoUMD-Mode (Expand Laser Unit Lifetime with Backups from MS currently not supperted by Devhook)
++ Skip SCE Logo (Integrated changer in Recovery Mode)
++ Activate WMA and Flash Player offline (Registry Hack via Recovery Mode)
+ 1.00 Eboot support (Not Kxploited) Tiny advantage. Most if not all hb is in 1.50 format.
+ Auto Eboot Launch Tiny advantage. Just press a few extra buttons, if you really do use this feature.
+ Play UMD-Games that require Firmware 2.00-3.0X No advantage. Use devhook.
+ WMA,H264,Flash and More Media Types supported No advantage. devhook.
+ UMD-Autostart ON/OFF Feature
Nearly all 1.50 Homebrew works (3.0X OE-X is a modified Hybrid-FW of 1.50 and 3.0X)
Devhook Supported
3.0X OE-A CONTRA
- Some Savegames from 1.50 Devhook don't work (Play it again with 33% more FPS (333MHZ) on 3.0X OE-X
- NoUMD Mode Compatibility Problems for some Games
- Nearly full Flash 0 (Not much Space for big Gameboot.pmf's etc.)
- Location Free Player removed (Not enough Space Left in Flash0 but nearly noone uses it)
- Big Korean Font Files removed from Flash 0 (Relinked to other small Font)
- Completely reflash of onboard MCP needed (Not really risky, nearly anyone of the Bricks didn't read Instructions right)
- PSP-Movie UMD Backups not working yet
3.0X OE-X is definately the "Golden Firmware". It's better than the plain 1.50 and any other official or unofficial Firmware out there. So stop asking. It has all the strenghts and none of the weaknesses of 1.50. And it's getting better with every update. You can downgrade everytime to 1.50 (Really Senseless). If anyone asks wich is the best Firmware, send him to this Thread. Now with the new Popstation cracked to play nearly any PSX-Game compressed and fullspeed i feel like in Heaven. Dark Alex is definately the King of the PSP Homebrew scene. Muchas Gracias.... For now, i can't imagine how to make this beautiful Firmware any better, but i'm shure it will get better... Anyway. Stop asking this Questions and update your PSP with the new Golden Firmware. SONY definately got owned.... |
Brington - I think DA had a PSP With UP chip installed donated to him so he can personally test the firmware and if it bricks the PSP he just re flashes with the UP Chip and keeps trying till he gets a working version
3.03 B Released!!! -

You still have to reencode the movies right? It's not like you can just throw a divx or xvid file at it and it works?

HA HA! I know exactly how you feel. I too just updated one week ago to 3.02OE-A from a virgin 1.5 that I had for so long. It too has treated me well.
But lets face it, the new D_A firmware 3.03OE-B is capable of pretty much everything that 1.5 has to offer. Only thing is PSX games cannot be played in 1.5 and probably wont ever be played even with Devhook.
Going from 1.5 to 3.03OE-B is the best thing any PSP owner can do. Virgin 1.5 PSP is pretty much dead. There is no reason to stay at 1.5 any longer.
