How can i make my psp 2.71 play higher version games?

Well before you go about upgrading to 3.52 M33 are you more interested in playing your iso's? Or more about homebrew and customizing your PSP's menu? Also for a easier upgrading/downgrading process check this app out. It's quite handy, and if you have a broadband connection I recommend going with the "full" version.

 

Im more intrested in playing homebrew

 

OOPS NO I MEANT ISO!!! lmao sorry i dident mean homebrew i meant iso.

 

Alright, then if playing iso's is the most important thing then there is no better than team M-33's firmware as they have integrated Sonys own ISO loader into there firmware and it works 100%. No UMD's needed for any game. I personally would rather lose a $50 memory stick w/ five of my iso rips on it than lose 5 UMD'S. At lets say $30 dollars a piece thats US $150!!

So yeah use that program I linked you to and use it to go up to 3.52 M-33

 

i have psp v3.71...and no umd disk....i recently downloaded 300(game..)what sud be done to play the game in my new psp????

 

I take it you mean a 3.51 PSP? If so then nothing. If you meant 2.71 then you have some possibilities.

 

Aiight im at 1.5 now Thank GOD! and now what do i do with the files on the psp that i used to downgrade?? can i just reformat since im upgrading to m33 3.51?? or must i leave it on? coz im scared of downgrading it from 1.5 to 1.5 lol

 

Yes you can format your memorystick. And again for a easy upgrade to a custom firmware use this program.

 

Well i don't think u can play it because u have a firmware that's not custom...but if it's an iso or cso file u should try making a folder named "ISO" in the root of your memory stick *Note: Do not put the "ISO" folder in the "MP_ROOT" folder of your memory stick*

 

please help me peainapod!!! what do i do!!! the installer you told me to get tells me that 1.5 > 3.52 will make it homebrew-less and its not reccomended proceeding??? should i still do it? coz i need another one of your great step by step guides please bro.

 

STOP!! You want to upgrade to 3.52 M33, NOT 3.52. lol, i think some screenshots are in order?




Do that and you should be at a 3.52 M33 firmware in no time.

 

HAHA yeh lmao i noticed thanks so much i finally did it! im scraed of brikcing becuase i bricked my first psp while tryin to downrade but i used the wrong motherboard downgrader lmao.

anyways now that i have 3.52 m33 how do i start playing all the iso's i got??

 

Alright to make all ISO's play without needing a UMD in teh drive you must enable "Sony ISO 9600" as the No-UMD option from the Recovery Menu. To get to the recovery menu turn the PSP completely off. Now hold the "R" trigger while turning the PSP on. You should be presented with a menu, and from this menu you will want to choose "Configuration". Under this menu one of the options near the bottom should be labeled something like "No-UMD Mode" hit X/O until it says it is using "Sony ISO 9600" as the No-UMD mode. Once this option is enabled you can exit the recovery menu. Now with your PSP on first format your memorystick, and then initiate a USB connection. There should be a folder in the beggining of your memory stick named ISO. Place your ISO's/CSO's in that folder. All your games should now be accessible via the Game menu.
