Get it right here: Dark_AleX's Open Edition Update Downloader Beta 1 from Xandu. Now, this one right here is a pretty cool alternative for Sony's Network Update. Really, if it's from Dark_AleX, you'd be crazy not to trust his masterpieces. Sometimes this writer can't even help but trust him more than Sony itself. LOL.

Anyhows, take a good note that this piece right here does NOT install Dark_AleX's Open Edition Network; it only downloads. The instructions are:

* Flash update_plugin.prx using the flash update.
* Make sure your first connection is active and working..
* Use Network Update
* UPDATE.rar should be in the MS root after the download is complete.

Also, this can use flash using Flash0 USB mode in Open Edition. (vsh/nodule). But remember (and believe us, you would want to remember this well): This could brick your PSP when using flash. So, apply all proper precautions, and make sure you check out the Readme.

Yeah, so we always tell you to do that. But we won't get tired of drilling that in your hands, if only to ensure that you and your PSP will get out of this unscathed and alive.
