QJ.net Wrote:Homebrew developer becus25's custom firmware wouldn't be called IE (as in "increasing edition") if it doesn't get updated regularly, right? Right. So with that said, let us all welcome Custom firmware 1.62 IE A Update2. And wee're telling you now, this is way better than the first update.

According to the coder, the bugs and issues present in the past release had already been isolated, and Update 2 should cause no more bricks. He also notes that in the very unlikely event that you do brick your PlayStation Portable (PSP) unit, all you have to do is use the recovery function. However, just be sure that you have either downgraded or have the official update of Sony in "ms0:/psp/game/ierecovery".

Wee've already posted Custom firmware 1.62 IE A's general functions and recovery functions from our last report so don't forget to read that first. The only thing added (which is very important mind you), is the addition of better security and the flasher.

Before you use this application, be sure to check the Readme file as well as the To Install file that comes with the download. It never hurts to be doubly sure, you know?

Hmm I like how greg put it as well

PSP-HACKS.com Wrote:becus25 is back with a new custom firmware for the PSP. Previously 1.62 IE A Update1 was the cause of a few bricks; however, those issues have been isolated and addressed in Update2. Despite the fact, bricking is always an involved risk when flashing the firmware, you can take another step of precaution by carefully reading the included documentation.

General functions:

    * Hide corrupt icons.
    * Skip Sony (SCE) logo.
    * You can start non-kxploited EBOOTs.
    * You can start modules.
    * Contains two recovery menus. If it does not detect one, it loads the other.
    * You can change the CPU clock speed in VSH/XMB by pressing HOME+SELECT.
    * Software system version displays 1.62 IE A.
    * Recovery and the XMB estan now fused. (?)
    * Added security to the flasher to ensure a non-brick.

Recovery functions:

    * You will be able to recover a semi-bricked PSP.
    * Toggle USB.
    * You can personalize XMB.
    * You can activate/deactivate Autoboots (put the autoboot on \psp\game\boot\eboot.pbp ) from recovery without any kept configuration file.
    * Recovery mode is now structured like a menu.

Kudos becus25 — great work.

ehhh

1.5 and its custom fw are dead

3.XX+ oe is the way to go

Yeah, I really don't get the attraction with spending time on 1.5 anymore.

Me too, but there maybe someone out there who has 1.5

^^^ i do  when upgrading to 3.03-oe-c

well there r some 1.5 enthusiasts but if someone wants a custom firmware y not use the oe

i have to agree, :beurk:
I'm back in black :he:
ok so anyways i agree what's the big deal about having a 1.5 custom fw?

well even DarK_AleX started off with a 1.5 custom firmware, so wee don't really know, becus25 might try a 3.30 firmware next, ive actually been using this firmware on a diff psp and it is quite good, its no OE but im sure it'll get better with the updates,
wee can also kno that if DarK_AleX stops writing then there are others there to carry on in his place.

just my two cence
