I've read somewhere that OE firmware is capable of allowing the PSP to attain it's 4th brightness level without the use of the AC adapter. How would I achieve this?

Well, I notice that a lot of people either use 3.03 OE-C or 3.40 OE-A. Why are so many people still using 3.03 OE-C? I'm thinking about upgrading my firmware, but I would like to know the disadvantages, first.

There really isn't much. Most people who are sticking with 3.03oe because they have custom xmb that will be lost once upgrade to 3.40oe. Also many people are under the believe that "if it's not broken why fix it", despite numerous advantages of 3.40oe. There had are some rumors saying 3.40oe is buggy, but it's never really been confirmed. Personally, I've been using 3.40oe since it came out, and haven't had any problems. (Emu, Psx, custom xmb, etc)

#1: 2.81 -> 3.03 -> 3.11 DoH (no more :D)
#2: 1.00 -> 1.5 -> 3.03oe-c
#3: Ceramic white 1.5 -> 3.03oe-c -> 3.40oe
Whatever happens, happens...

All right, so now I'm trying to update my PSP to 3.40 OE, so I go to Game/Memory Stick/3.40 OE-A Update Maker. However, I get this message:

Opening and checking 150.PBP
Cannot open file.


How do I get around this?

Probably bad 1.5 updater or wrong name.

Use this winstaller. Much easier.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that I used GBMOD to change my gameboot path to the root directory?

I don't think so.
Anyway just use the winstaller. It produce the updater for you. Then you just run it under game.

I already updated to 3.40 OE-A, but thanks anyway scott2k7. I like this version better because it runs my ps1 games with fewer glitches :)

I messed up again though. I ran gameboot MOD and set the directory for my gameboot to the root of my PSP. The bad thing is...I forgot I didn't have a gameboot there! >_< Now my psp won't start up. I'm guessing my problem will be fixed if I just go to recovery mode, connect through USB, and click and drag a gameboot to the root folder.

As far as my Genesis emulator goes (DGEN), it just won't start up. And why can't I go to fourth brightness when I use homebrew or my SNES emulator?

When you mess with flash0, you might get semi-bricked. Always keep a back up, so you don't have to keep reflashing firmware.

About, DGEN. Make sure it's in GAME150. I don't have it, so I can't confirm if it works with 3.40oe, though I can't see why not. And I've never heard anyone complaining so.

It is in GAME150. It very well might be that it is not compatible with 3.40oe.

I just found out that, in fact, I DID have a gameboot in my root directory after connecting my PSP to my computer via recovery mode. I think I am semi-bricked because I can only access recovery mode, I can't get to the XMB. What do I do now?

Okay I found out that the reason my gameboot didn't load is because I was using the opening_plugin.prx for 3.03 OEs on my 3.40 OE PSP. So first thing's first...how do I get out of this semi-brick?

Replace your flash0 with backup.

If you didn't make a makeup, then you have to recover to 1.5.

I found an easier way than yours, but thanks anyway blackvamp :)

All I did was make a RECOVERY folder in my GAME folder and put the eboot and data file that I got from winstall 3.40oe in there. I basically just re-installed 3.40 OE-A. Oh, and I wasn't semi-bricked I found out...I WAS BRICKED. It's fixed now.

I'm beginning to think that oe firmware is brick-proof because of that recovery mode...do official firmwares have recovery mode?
