Team Wildcard have unveiled the initial release of their brand-new custom firmware series. The 3.40 Wildcard firmware supports all features from 3.40 OE-A, as well as an SCEP-style recovery menu, in-XMB configuration menu, and auto detection of kernel homebrew (this means you'll only have to deal with a central GAME folder - no more GAME150 or GAME340 folders).

<strong>Update:</strong> Team Wildcard have released an update to the initial release, fixing a few minor bugs. Please note you must be running 3.40* LE to apply this update. Head on over to the <a href="http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=3035">official release thread</a> for the full changelog.

Installation is just as simple as M33:

------------------
Installation Guide
------------------

0. Look inside the ZIP file for the folder that corresponds to your current firmware - either Custom Firmware or Firmware 1.50. To install 3.40*, you have to be on one of these. If you're not already on one of them, what are you waiting for? Downgrade!

1. Copy the *CONTENTS* of the MS_ROOT folder onto the *ROOT* of your memory stick. This means the place where the 'PSP' folder is. It'll probably tell you that it has to overwrite the PSP folder. This is OK; just click Yes.

2. Download the 1.50 and 3.40 firmare EBOOTs (search dl.qj.net for them).

3. Rename the 1.50 EBOOT to 150.PBP.

4. Rename the 3.40 EBOOT to 340.PBP.

5. Put both of them *in* the folder "X:\PSP\GAME\Wildcard All-in-one Flasher", alongside the EBOOT.PBP file. (X: is your PSP's Windows drive letter.)

6. Go into the PSP's Game menu, under Memory Stick, and run "3.40* All-In-One Updater". The installer will build the 3.40* DATA.DXAR file, then launch the flasher to install it. Follow the instructions on the screen TO THE LETTER and you'll be safe.

The question is, what firmware are you using x3sphere? And if youre using this wildcard firmware, why did you switch??

In the screenshot it says CFW 3.51 wildc*rd???

They were forced to release early since some lame website leaked the project sources yesterday (see here)

It was originally planned to be running the latest firmware but thanks to the leak they had to release what was done so far.

It's not better than 3.52 M33 in terms of features, but its better than 3.40 OE-A, because of the new recovery menu and GAME folder detection.
 
Does the theme works on 3.03 OE-C works on that?

What? The above screenshot is what the new recovery menu looks like.

Themes compatible with 3.40 OE will also work with this.
 
Cause I'm using the XP theme on my 3.03 OE-C,if it doesn't work on 3.40 ***(This),I'll downgrade back to 3.03 OE-C.

Oh, yeah I doubt it will work.
 
I put in game150 but in the game menu it showed up as corrupted data.What's wrong?
Others is perfect(303 oe,330 oe,340 oe,351 m33,352 m33),with no corruption.

3.40 :) It was originally planned to be 3.51, but as I said, due to the events that occurred yesterday the team had to release it early.

will you make a guide for it, x3
or do you think it's unnecessary?

The install guide in the first post is already well written, so no.
 
looks snazzy...
If I Wanted To Go Onto That F/w Would Have To Downgrade It Back To 1.50 And Then Upgrade It To This?
I'm Guessing Yes Cos Its A Lower F/w...

Or Should I Wait Until This Is Realeased On 3.52?
 
You can install it straight from 3.52 M33, no need to downgrade.

Myself I am waiting until they release 3.52*, since I use some of the 3.5 only features. Plus some UMD games are starting to require 3.5.
 
looks really nice.....i think i shall be upgrading to the 3.52 version.it does look better IMO and it has the auto kernal detect which would be useful :)
 
Why would you install this crap, when you know its a rush release. This maybe in its alpha stages, not even beta. And with all the time they have (with Dark_Alex's help?), you can tell they're not committed like M33.

thats why i said i would wait til a 3.52 release.even x3 said he would rather wait.

as for M33,yea they're commited but with the updates for their firmware, that makes it look like their firmware was rushed to me.
