Dark Alex, enigmatic hacker and/or miracle worker is best known for his Open Edition or “OE” firmware hacks for the PSP. His OE firmware allows users to run homebrew applications while retaining all of the benefits of official firmware updates. After Sony’s recent release of the 3.10 patch, the homebrew community was momentarily locked out of the device, but Dark Alex has once again come through for the community and released a new, updated 3.10 OE.

The improvements in this version are fairly minor but they include:

Increased Brightness Level. The brightness now has four levels and real battery sadists can now set their screen to “god mode” which was previously reserved for outlet power only.

Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10

We wish Dark Alex continued success in his total domination of Sony’s sleek black device, and we hope that his elite skillz have helped him score a girlfriend as hot as Angelina Jolie.
