3.40 OE-A Install Guide

Big time help needed
Hello,
I have managed to screw up this install. Long story short, I was running 1.50 and the install seemed to go well. However, when I went to run a game it wouldn't work.
So I (stupidly) reformated the card and started the install over. HUGE mistake ... the PSP is now running 3.30 OE-A instead of 1.50 so it won't install correctly.
Please somebody rescue me with a little help. I greatly greatly appreciate it.
PS... I'm rather noob so I REALLY appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ron

I'm going to be updating my original release-day 1.5 PSP. It still has the 32MB memory stick. Obviously, the update files won't fit on this card, so I'll have to buy another. I was wanting to buy a large 4GB memory stick so I could hold lots of media & homebrew. However, I've read that a 1.5 PSP can't read 4GB memory sticks. Is this true, or rumor? If it's true, will I need to purchase two sticks? A small stick (maybe 128MB) to run the upgrade from, and the 4GB for actual daily use?
A 1.5 PSP can read 4GB sticks fine, its 8GB sticks that are the problem.

Excellent news, thanks for the help. Just found a 4GB Sandisk at Fry's today for $75 (inc. tax) - same price as Amazon. Looks like it's my lucky day! Should have a hacked PSP tonight. Thanks again.

Be carefull and check that it is a real memory stick. If it isnt real then you will most likely brick your PSP. To tell if your memorystick is a fake then if it does go into your psp scroll over to vidio and scroll down to the memory card. press the triangle and select properties. If you see magic gate unknown then it's a fake. DONT USE IT TO UPGRADE!!

i dunno if this is the right place for a question
I HAVE UPGRADED MY PSP to 3.30oe!!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
now i'm encountering some problems..
i tested my emulators and ps1 games
so far my ps1 games are great and might i add,
i like that new SETTINGS addition on this 3.30oe firmware :biggrin: :biggrin:
my snes works okay... and so does my nes, but when i put my new on sleep mode, and went back to play it... the games just started trippin' and went super fast in both audio and video aspect.
then my genesis emulator won't work at all.
is there a problem with my stuff?
they are in the same folders as they were when i had 3.03oe.
and i even reformated my MS when i upgraded to 3.30
so i dunno what to do now really.:crying: :crying:

Its not supported. Sony added more security in 3.11 which prevents homebrew applications from being ran.

Triple thumbs up on this installation guide, thanks guys! I followed the instructions & everything worked like a charm. Thanks for helping new guys to the scene and answering questions. I'm looking forward to seeing everything a custom firmware can let me do with the PSP. I knew on launch day that the hardware was capable of doing much, much more than Sony would let its users do. Glad to see that is a reality!

The location free player was removed to save space on the small flash memory that the PSP has. Maybe there is a homebrew file out there to get that funcion back but I dont know where you can find one.

Firmware
Hi to all who can help with this!
Upgraded to 3.10 oe is there a chance that my 1.50 firmware is still there or is there a way to downgrade my PSP back to 1.50? Is this 3.10 oe permanent upgrade or it only hide my 1.50 firmware like some emulator?
Cheers

Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.30 OE-A. Please note that you must be running 1.50, 2.71 SE, 3.02 OE, 3.03 OE, or 3.10 OE to begin this installation.
First grab the 3.30 OE-A files.
1. Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running 2.71 SE, 3.02 OE, 3.03 OE, or 3.10 OE.
2. Now download the 1.50 and 3.30 updates which you can grab below:
1.50 Update
3.30 Update
3. Place these 2 updates in the oeupdmaker folder and ensure they are named exactly like this 150.PBP and 330.PBP. Now navigate to the game menu on your PSP and execute the update maker. It will take a few minutes to create the file, once finished a DATA.DXAR will be found in the oeupdmaker folder.
Please note: If you get an error message that says "Invalid SHA-1" when creating the DXAR do not proceed further. This means you have a faulty memory stick and a corrupt DATA.DXAR was created. Start over using a different memory stick.
4. Copy 330oeflasher and 330oeflasher% to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running 2.71 SE, 3.02 OE, 3.03 OE, or 3.10 OE.
5. Copy the DATA.DXAR created in step 3 to the 330oeflasher folder.
6. Navigate to the game menu on your PSP, run the 3.30 OE-A flasher and follow the on screen instructions. Once done your PSP will now be running 3.30 OE-A
no, its a permanent upgrade. but you can downgrade back to 1.5
you dump the games from your original PS1 discs..
