Alpha Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 My PSP is still using the 1.5 firmware when I bought it. I still haven't got the guts to use a custom firmware. Are there really any advantages besides playing PSX games and the newest PSP backup games?
L.S.D Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 It let you use most of the features and updates that Sony official updates have. meaning, you can enable WMA, Flash, Internet, choosing fonts and so on

Are there really any advantages besides playing PSX games and the newest PSP backup games? Not really. But it streamlines the whole process, saves you having to jump around to different firmwares and lets you load everything you can think of from the Game cross bar. Oh and you can encode videos at 480x272 at 768kbps+ with CFWs- you can't with Sony's. You can't even playback AVC on 1.50 actually.

Reaper man Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 It let you use most of the features and updates that Sony official updates have. meaning, you can enable WMA, Flash, Internet, choosing fonts and so on what about game compatibility? (ie, games that require/force a certain firmware)
BlackKnight Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 what about game compatibility? (ie, games that require/force a certain firmware) What about it? A CFW lets you play any game that requires the version the CFW is based on. But then try showing me a game that requires 3.60 or higher~

But then try showing me a game that requires 3.60 or higher~ so does CFW ver. number == firmware number it's based on then, or is that different?
L.S.D Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 most games work on 3.51M33. ALL GAMES WORK ON 3.52 m33 version 4(?) and above. Meaning, if you have CFW3.71, you can play any games (except WWESVR2K7 which is still buggy )
BlackKnight Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 so does CFW ver. number == firmware number it's based on then, or is that different? No, that's exactly what it means. 3.51 M33-6 == 3.51 Sony Firmware / System Software
ksonic1055 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 now that dark_alex is gone, will future CFW's be released? Lets say sony makes a firmware 4.1. Is it probable that CFW will be developed with it?

Is it probable that CFW will be developed with it?I wouldn't be surprised if DAX wasn't really "gone" (it has happened before) but even if he is, I'm sure someone will pick up where he left off.
ksonic1055 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) so is there any way to use XMB themes without bricking? does the released patch in the first post of this thread work? Edited October 22, 2007 by ksonic1055
L.S.D Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Hmmm, the wireless on my PSP Slim suddenly refuse to work. Might it have to do with a bug on the CFW 3.71?
Kloplop321 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 so is there any way to use XMB themes without bricking? does the released patch in the first post of this thread work?well now you can add PTF themes, which is also in the Official Firmware, so yeah. But the actual XMB form itself, I am not sure, but the PTF's just replace the background, and all the icons. Nothing more, and nothing less. It isn't like some others.. But there are some good themes out there. I found a torrent with like 26 of them, so there is a bit of a variety..
