3.10 OE-A' Released

Hello, I'm having trouble running ISO's on my psp. Here's some info on my psp:

I got it from Hong Kong. FW history - 1.50 -> 3.10 oe-a -> 3.10 oe-a'
I tried playing some iso's without a UMD but that didn't work, I just get a message containing
error 80010002. I have 4 iso's that I tried, those are: GTA:LCS, Tekken DR, Burnout and
Socom Fireteam Bravo 2.

I tried running them in No-UMD mode but only Tekken and Socom worked others just got a
black screen. So I found out you needed a UMD in the disk tray to play iso's without being in
the No-UMD mode, absolutely any UMD.

Today I went and bought a Fantastic 4 UMD movie popped it in and tried the games. But they
didn't work, I kept getting the 80010002 error. Now one thing to note is when I insert the UMD
it says that the Region code isn't correct (UMD-movie from Sweden) and it does not show
a UMD icon in the Video section of the XMB. Could that be the issue , or is it the FW and should I try it on 3.03 oe-c ? Please help me out with playing the iso's :(

Edit: Also I read here that transfering files via USB 1.1 is an issue ? Is that for real because I don't have any other options to transfer files other
than USB 1.1
 
Yep

You are running 3.10oe2?

also Armored Core isn't working. Gradius IS working, and I haven't tried Tekken yet.
I'm running in No-UMD mode as it doesn't even try to load the games without it.

I tried both ISO and CSO and same thing.

If it matters, this is a TA-082 US psp.
fw: 2.6 -> 2.71 -> 1.5 -> 3.03OE -> 3.03OE-B -> 3.10OEa -> 3.10OEa`
 
Why NO-UMD in 3.10oe?

I see a lot of posts about turning off No-UMD. That's my favorite feature, why is it not working properly in 3.10oe?

Frankly, I don't remember where I dumped my umd's. Now I'll need to dig them out... what a pointless effort. I will be rolling back to 3.03C.. there's way too many issues at this point.. maybe 3.10B will have this resolved?

no-umd has pretty much stayed the same since 2.71 SE, compatibility is no different in 3.10 or 3.03 OE. most games work with it on, some don't.

this could be fixed in a future release just not much attention has been put towards it..
 
Spanks!

ISO -> yes only iso files or compressed cso files

MUSIC -> supports a few formats such as at3, wav, mp3. Sony changed the folder structure since 2.8 for whatever reason :/ If you have the folder in PSP it should still work.

PICTURE -> supports most image formats such as gif, jpg, bmp

COMMON -> internet browser downloads files with an unknown file type here (e.g. zip, rar, etc)

VIDEO -> same as MP_ROOT setup, just added in 2.8. probably because the MP_ROOT name made no sense at all, lol.

and you are correct for the rest :)

Thanks mate! Couple of other things...

How do you convert an ISO to CSO format?

In the VIDEO folder, do you still need the MNV0001 folder, and the traditional file names? Or can you just put anything in it?
 
I tried GTA:LCS iso today with some UMD RPG game (can't remember the name) and it worked. One issue though was that when cruising
around the city the streaming was very slow which is ultra annoying. Overclocking to 333Mhz didn't help , when standing in one place it works
fluidly but if you turn around or start cruising there is a big slowdown. I'm sure it's some kind of issue with the game being read off the memory
stick but I have no idea how to resolve it. Any ideas?
 
Metal Gear Ops online not working, 3.10 oe-a

Ok, so whenever I go to play the online mode "Free VS" on FW 3.10 oe-a I get a message
saying...

"could not find host"

All other games I am able to play online such as mohh, socom and others. Is this a problem with 3.10oe-a or something else... Anybody PLEASEEE help me to get this game to work...

Besides that, everything else works fine on the game.

Thanks...:)

is the iso compressed? it's either that or a slow memory stick.. Sandisk are much faster than the Sony's.

Mingle: Devhook 0.46 package, http://exophase.com/files/psp/dh046.lzh

Just go into the tools folder through command prompt and type "ciso 9 filename.iso target.iso"

Not sure about the video folder, I believe you still need to make the MNV0001 folder etc because last time I tried putting a video in the folder it didn't show up.
 
I've also tried every fix listed to get ISO/CSO to run reliably (disable no-umd,simple,233Mhz+,etc). Thus far I have a 25% success rate. I'm very new to the scene and 3.10-OE' is the only firmware I've tried my backups against.

The games show up in my games menu with all the usual icons, animations, etc. Some of them launch and don't make it past black screen (Lumines). Others will launch and eventually get stuck while loading... data (LuminesII, I can run through the create profile screens but when I try to actually play, it tries to load data and never completes). Other games run perfectly (MG Acid). If it helps, my US PSP is TA-082 mobo and again, running 3.10-OE A2.

If I choose to revert to an older firmware while this is being fixed, do I have to go all the way to 1.50 or can I build and run the 3.03 DXAR from 3.10?
 
Strange because Lumines II runs perfect here, can you try with a different memory stick? The way games are crashing midway in seems to me like it may be a fake one.

but to go back to 3.03 OE, just use 3.03 OE files and 3.03 upgrade eboot to compile the dxar. rest of the instructions are the same.
 
Nope.. It's legit. Came with a Sony "Entertainment Pack".

I plan on ordering 4GB SanDisk UII this week. Though I doubt this is the problem. It really seems like more of a software glitch than a hardware issue. It's like the firmware is failing to intercept certain forms of media access. I find it odd that Lumines II manages to get the UMD to spin up during its loading... phase (the one after the usual player/game select screens).

try with devhook, if not its definitely a bad ISO dump.

n1k: yeah, thats because the PSP is not region free when it comes to UMD movies. changing region via recovery won't help either, atm the only way around this is to load the disc with UMD Emulator 0.8c which doesn't always work.

impius: you could always try booting the game with devhook and see if it works there.
 
That's the whole point of OE.. not needing devhook. Judging from my experiences as well as others who had a full set of working backups (working in 3.03 OE) which are now broken in 3.10 OE, I suspect something is wrong with the firmware. I just don't know enough about psp hacking to know how to troubleshoot further.

yes, I was suggesting that to rule out a corrupt ISO.

Just want to make sure, here is my recovery menu config that works with Lumines II:

Plain modules: Disabled
Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO: Disabled
Use isofs driver: Disabled
Use NO-UMD: Disabled

do you have the exact same settings as me? I kinda doubt its the boot.bin or isofs option, but DA may have changed the default values for these.
 
Well..

I doubt I'm the only one who considers no-umd a major feature. Besides playing homebrew, no-umd is the second most important feature (to me). If that doesn't work then why even bother with a custom firmware? Just stay on 1.5 for the homebrew.

I think 3.10 is pretty borked based on so many people having problems. I don't remember seeing this many problems on the 3.03 posts. I'll probably roll back to 3.03-b this weekend.
 
Probelm with 3.10-OE A'

I'm not sure when my problems started, but I think when I it may have to do with something from when I went from 3.10-OE A to 3.10-OE A'.

My PSX game won't run anymore, I get this error: The game could not be started. (CA000005)
It was working fine before, in fact I'm halfway through the game.

Also my GBC emulator now causes the PSP to freeze up, and there's no way to turn off the psp without ripping the battery out when it does freeze.
(I'm using RIN GBC emulator for the PSP btw)

It's not just me my friend is having the same exact problems that I had, and he just upgraded to 3.10-OE A'(from 1.5) when he got back from vacation. I thought it was just me...

Also I have a supported 4GB memory card. (It's a sony one)

Why did all this stop working for me, and what can I do to fix this?
This is driving me nuts, I want to finish star ocean 2! :(

the 3.0x series has been mostly about the PS1 games though, you can't play those on 1.5.. but anyway, no-umd is something that will be fixed eventually. I just know it isn't a top priority.

ArmageddonPotato: that does sound odd, nothing has changed in regards to the 1.5 kernel so RIN should run exactly the same.. it happens on all games you play?

for PSX game.. it sounds like you are missing keys.bin in the directory with the eboot

Fisayo26: you must place the update folder in the PSP/GAME150
 
Hey JKing

I just got my PSP on monday. but my net was down for a while..

Heere's what i got.... PSP Metallic Blue Japan Version. Firmware 1.5

now i tried to install the 3.03oe-c according to the instructions,

but when i have the oemaker & oemaker% (the first step i think),

one of them refelected as CORRUPTED DATA, i still proceeded with

initializing the update. so the PSP started to create a DRAX file, but to

no avail. it's initiates the file but, comes up short... it states CANNOT OPEN FILE.

then no CHECK values appear. i tried it twice, same thing. so i stop trying bcoz

i'm scared of bricking my PSP. let me know what to do. thanks bro.!

- nate
 
My psp directory is PSP/GAME not GAME 150. Should I change it to GAME150. I currently have the justice.cso in a folder i named ISO. does that matter. the error message is 0x80020148 the game could not be started. But I will try again
