i hate to be a nay-sayer but it seems there is more problems caused by the custom firmware then there is benefits. what is your reason behind wanting the custom firmware if i can ask? Just curious.

dont be sorry :). there is other ways to get the corrupted icons off the screen. its up to you whether or not you wanna keep it or ditch it. In my case I havent found a reason good enough to want to put the custom firmware on yet. I think you found an outdated version to. Harley g's custom firmware got past the P.O.C. Stage.

oh ic, Can u send me the link to the new harlyg's custom firmware? I thought that the risk was only if u used xflash, So their's still the risk of bricking with custom firmware?

Also what are the benefits of custom firmware?

thanks again!

not necessarily a risk of bricking but if you install certain things the wrong way it can mess up your psp and cause a lot of trouble and pain. rather then linking to just the custom firmware ill link you to a couple of them.

thanks for the link. Should i take off the proof of concept thing? and if so, how?

k i see the unflasher for the proof of concept. I extracted it and it didn't come with a readme file. So where do i put these two files?

thanks!

I don't know what you're talking about hex... "More harm caused w/ the Custom FW than good?"

LOL

Never. I have had it all along and it kicks a$$!!!! In fact, I have never seen a corrupt icon removed completely like this in all the apps I've tried and I've been doing the homebrew thing pretty much since it began... Needless to say, I've tried every app I could get my hands on. POC rocks!

@panesingh: if you need any help, just ask, but you don't need to remove it.

peace

Oh, btw, if you are using Harley's Dual boot POC mod (which he ripped this off from McZonk, author of PSPset, Doom port, etc), I can't help

Just use the desintalar (uninstall) thing that came w/ the app you downloaded.

I would recommend using ONLY Dark_AleX's POC. Nothing else. That's the one I'm familiar with.

Lemme know when this is done. (Sorry I didn't mention this before; I've had a few beers... LOL)

Lemme rephrase this then. I have seen more problems caused by the firmware then what has been considered benefits. Seems everyone that has used it has had nothing but problems. for instance in this thread this guy has been having lots of problems with his copy of the custom firmware.

Just look for Dark_AleX's POC. Go look at like Maxconsole or something.

Dark_AleX was the orignal author of the POC. His is the original and best. Anything less... would be uncivilized. LOL

If you have MSN messenger, hit me up:

*removed*

I'll walk you thru it.

EDIT: check your PM. I didn't wanna post my email addy. ddp wouldn't like me very much.

@ hex: negative results are more often posted than positive results. Bad news spreads faster than good news. I have never had any problems. If this kid has a problem, he can just remove it.

Btw, how you doing, man? How's (half) life going for you? lol

I already beat half life 2, so I started over. That game kicks serious buttocks!
