As expected, Dark_AleX has released a new custom firmware version taking advantage of the recent release of firmware 3.10, and unsurprisingly its called 3.10OE-A. DCEmu have got the main info on this story, including the files to download for this custom firmware.

Changes in 3.10 OE-A:

- Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10

- 4th level of brightness (aka battery eater) can now be selected also without ac adaptor.

- Changes in hen core:

* Static user elf’s can now be executed in the 3.10 kernel. (this includes snes user version between other programs)

* Tyranid’s patch (added in 3.03 OE-C) consequences was not explained very well in the changelog of 3.03 OE-C:

- For programmers: it allows kernel modules to have user imports, making kernel programming in 3.03/3.10 less strict.

- For users: plugins and applications that worked in 2.71 SE, but not in OE, *may* now work in 3.03OE-C and 3.10 OE-A.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I’ll probably hang on a few days before installing this new custom firmware to ensure there are no problems with it (not that I expect any). Its rumoured Sony will be releasing a new firmware update in the next couple of days anyway, so I may wait and see what Dark_AleX makes of that before updating.

As always, installing a custom firmware may lead to a bricked PSP (although so far the 3.00+ OE custom firmware updates seem to have been very safe) so be careful.
