sorry if this is in the wrong area, i have a new psp from hong kong and unfortunately it wont play my movies because of the region code. is there any way i can get around this as i dont wont to have to buy alll new movies again. in urgent need of help i have a 13 hour flight in two days and this was my Saviour.
u r going to have to get ur hands on an UNPATCHED UMD of either: a) Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (unpatched has 2.00 update on it) b) Lumines (unpatched has any update besides 3.51) if u get GTA LCS, then upgrade to 3.03 and use the 3.03 downgrader. if u get Lumines, then upgrade to 3.50 and use the 3.50 downgrader. check blockbuster or a similar rental shop, they may have some. walmart, and other retail stores may also have them.
thanks iv upgraded to 3.03 so just have to do the rest. will this allow me to play the other region Movie UMD?
when you downgrade to 1.50, then upgrade to a custom firmware, which is region free. heres the fastest way to do so. http://www.pspmod.com/forums/custom...llation-tutorial-easy-installer-included.html
ok iv downloaded the 1.5,extracted the files and installed them on to me MS using my laptop, however the psp wont load the HEND file, it says that this is corrupted. any ideas, have i missed somthing?
ok i didnt use GTA to update to 3.03, i ha metal gear solid portable ops in at the time and that offered me this update. im kinda thinking that this was a bad decision now. any way iv checked my system info and its not running HEN. im looking at trying to downgrade now to 1.5 but it all refers to GTA. think iv mad a right mess here!!! also im downloadin using my laptop and transfering to my MS, is this right? sounds like a stupid question i know. thanks for your patience and help.
do you have Grand theft auto liberty city stories to begin with? this game is needed because of an exploit on the disc. it is the only one that will work so if u r on 3.03, then get one, and just follow the instructions and u should be fine... heres the guide i used to downgrade. http://www.pspmod.com/forums/firmware/11320-3-03-downgrade-tutorial.html
thanks so much for that iv downgraded to the 1.5, thought it wasnt going to work then. im just starting to upgrade to the custom firmware. just one question what software do i need to open rar files??
thanks for all you help mate, iv done that loaded the custom firmware. it works ok but still wont play any region discs. do you know of any other way?
turn the psp completely off (so that u would see the sony logo when u turn it back on). to do this, hold the power switch up for 5 seconds. now, turn it on holding R trigger button. recovery mode will boot. now, go down to Configuration. press X. from here, scroll down to where it says region free UMD or whatever it says. enable that, and u can watch it.
enable fake umd region. thats all u can do. try a combo of both also. (fake umd region, and free umd region) also, 13 hours? u may want some emulators. heres a good site for them. read the included readmes and google search the rom u want (the game u want for the console u r emulation) for example, the daedalus R12 is the best N64 emulator on the market. download that and put it in GAME150 folder that u should put in /PSP/GAME/. theres a Roms folder already there for u, so u just need to put the roms there. google search, for example, Super Mario 64 ROM and ull get a download for that game. lather, rinse, repeat. same idea for all emulators. anyway, heres the link: http://dl.qj.net/Emulators-PSP-/catid/111
not a problem. i feel better now knowing theres one more region free and homebrew enabled psp out there
no. theres snes9tyl snes emulator. there are many versions of that, and i have no clue which is best. i gave up on it, i dont need it personally.
