Custom firmware for PSP - 3.02 OE-A

Posted by multippt

A custom (unofficial) firmware have been developed by Dark_Alex, known as 3.02 OE-A. This custom firmware is similar to his other special custom firmware for the PSP, 2.71 SE (special edition), in that it has homebrew support, plus the latest goodies Sony have to offer.

Here’s the changelog (difference from 2.71 SE-C):
-3.02 firmware features* (duh…)
-Homebrew can be run using the 3.02 kernal (though with some limitations)
-Ability to play video UMDs from any region** (eg. Region 1 movie UMDs work on a Region 3 PSP)
-O/X button swapping option**
-WMA enabling option** (without needing to go through EULA…)
-Flash player enabling option** (without connecting online)

*The custom firmware has all features, except for the new languages (korean, Chinese traditional, Chinese simplified), WPA internet encryption, and Locationfree player (removed due to space contraints)
**Accessable from recovery menu (holding R button on the PSP while booting up the PSP)

Note that you won’t be able to normally update your PSP normally (via official updates from Sony) when you update to this custom firmware. You can however downgrade (or in other words, remove the custom firmware modification) to firmware 1.50 to 2.71 via recovery menu on the PSP (accessable by holding the R button while the PSP is starting up). The only way to install this custom firmware is via clean install.

This is not an official firmware update from Sony, so install this at your own risk.
