Enjoy =)

Note: Seeing as its a new developer and not Dark Alex, I have not upgraded yet. That being said, I take NO responsibility for what happens to your psp. All of the reports that I have heard about it though have been that it works flawlessly.

Please don't call it OE - that's the name for a different custom firmware by a different author; you'll get people in trouble. It's called M33. Second, there's a link to an easy installer, which is against the TOS of PSP3D and is illegal.
Please correct.

Oh, and it does work, incase you don't trust the team. They're trustworthy and I've installed it no problem .

I've uninstalled it though, I already have a 3.51 custom firmware.

Just remember, don't mess with VSH.PRX, system_plugin_fg.rco, paf.prx, or common_gui.prx in M33. They cause problems.

Ah, sorry, havn't really kept up with the scene lately, just got an email and saw that Psp3d didnt talk about it yet, so I figured id share.

Ill remove the easy installer as well.

Still gonna stick with 3.40 OE-A

Yeah I am gonna stick with 3.40 for now. I don't really trust the Russians. It's kinda a personal thing, don't ask.

Yea, I'm not ready to trust any other team with my PSP firmware needs just yet.
Maybe when I start hearing more positive reviews...but even then, it'll take some convincing.

jcoolkatzerg · #7 (**permalink**) 07-15-2007, 02:18 AM

haha, I've checked comments on a lot of the other sites, and I trusted it enough to make the plung and try it out!

Guys, this really does work. Just like a DAX OE. Even the recovery menu looks the same except for a few changes in the color scheme. All homebrew that I have runs, and all of my PS1 games still boot. Music and everything else runs just the same, and for some reason the web browser seems to be a little faster....hummm. I haven't check all my UMD's (some are out on loan) but so far everything I have on hand works, from GTA to Ridge Racer. A small handfull of people have reported problems with the savegame menu randomly crashing, but I haven't gotten that at all.

Oh, and if it helps, good ol' PJ1115 is testing it too and working on a CFW too (I think it's an extention of this Russian one). LostProphet links to PJ's artical on the upcoming release.

Hopefully this'll help remove some doubts out there. If there is anything you want me to test, post back/send me a PM and I'll see what I can do. No ISO's, please.

Yep, the firmware is more-or-less what you'd expect from OE - stable, safe, jam-packed with features.

jcoolkatzerg: It's not an extension to M33 - it's a completely new firmware (of course its base is still on OE).

Gamer420 · #9 (**permalink**) 07-15-2007, 11:20 AM

Yep it definately works great. Except only a few items have probs which were already posted. At least, currently right w/ customizing. But the topmenu.rco thing works well still in customizing and most of the other things.
