as most of you know i make an ez install every new firmware what i want to know is how can i make it better?

I haven't yet but I should.I don't even know what your installers are.I need to check them out.

my 3.80M33 has 600+ downloads

You can make it better by uhhh..... I got nothing LOL

By posting your threads on this forum!

You could make it better by...

...making it EZ.......er?

i feel like a noob.....but what does it exactly do?

It's just an EZ-install from one CFW to another.

tbag has been making auto installers that put everything on your MS for you when trying to install a custom firmware. Instead of downloading all the individual files, unpacking them, and getting them in the right folders, tbag's EZ installer has everything and puts it all in the right place. It's an installer application just like what you would use if installing an app on your PC.

No OFW to CFW?and and so it has like all the CFW?

How about an ez installer that lets you choose which custom firmware you want and it installs the correct files. Of course the user would have to already have a custom firmware installed but maybe they want to change firmwares.

ie...

I have 3.71M33 and I want to go to 3.52 or 3.90. I run the installer and it makes all the needed changes and adds all the 1.50 addons for me. As simple as possible. If current firmware version needs to be detected to place the correct files then it should do that also.

Basically it should work like this.

1. Plug PSP into PC
2. Run EZ Installer
3. Installer gets current PSP firmware automatically
4. If no custom firmware is found notify user and exit
5. If custom firmware is found then give user options as to what firmware the EZ installer is capable of installing
6. User selects desired firmware from list and clicks next
7. EZ Installer place files and performs the firmware change
8. Notify user of any other required steps and exit

Note: I think all firmwares that can have 1.50 add-on should get the add-on by default. Also maybe the EZ Installer can detect Fat or Slim PSP and make suggestions based on that as well. One last thing, if the PSP is on Original Firmware notify the user to downgrade with Pandora and link to the tutorial here. This will help traffic here on the site and also you can point the noobs to the EZ install everytime they say "How do I downgrade my PSP?".

These are just my thoughts. They may not be doable but I think that would be an awesome app.

So basically you just plug the psp <to> pc and you intsall the cfw you want...can you downgrade with it?
like lets say your on cfw 3.71 M33-X and you want to get to 3.52 M33-X would it let you?
also would it let you upgrade ofw to cfw?
if you had cfw would it let you downgrade to ofw?

ok i see what your getting for there but right now its kinda hard to get it to work, say you have 3.71m33 and want to go to 3.52m33-4 well that will brick. and now that the installs are done with the sony updater i can see lots of issues.

Couldn't a despertar-style program be made to install 3.52 M33-4?

Oh I see..well is there even in ez installer that lets you do that?I think you could make one right?
