Newbie to PSP Firmware

Hi all

Any help appreciated.
I have no idea what about what firmware to use on my PSP as there is so many of them about.
All I really want to do is download some games of the internet and play them on my PSP.
I have succesfully downgraded to 1.50 with the help of Lumines and youtube but I dont know what to do now.
Any help, advice or anything extra is muchly appreciated guys.

Cheers
Kev

 

ok i currently have 3.80 m33-5 it wonderful
you can play games like you said u wanted to do
you can also have internet radio
and custom themes

i can help u out if u want

 

You just need to to install custom firmware to your PSP...HERE/url] is a great guide to help you.

 

Here.

Go there and read every inch of it. It will show you how to install 3.52M33-4 and then install either 3.71M33-4, 3.80M33-5, or 3.90M33-2. It will also show you how to install the 1.50 kernel with them.

So if you read it all and don't skip anything, you will have a fully functioning CFW PSP ready to go. =]

If you have questions or need advice or anything, just post back.

Hope that helps,

Thanks. =]

 

Yes, that most certainley did help Mate thanks.

 

I'm also a newbie. Why do I want to install the 1.50 kernel - what does that give me?

Thanks. Imo.

 

1.50 kernel add on is good for other homebrew software

however since u are new, u probably dont need it

 

I have 4.01 m33 and i can still use homebrew all thanks to the 1.50 kernel

 

would someone mind helping me?

I have a 1.50 psp (got it years ago,but memory sticks were too expensive back then)

anyways, followed the guide written by Frankie

so basically my psp setup in this order

X-Flash
Dark Alex's cfw 1.50
Devhook 0.46
DevHook Launcher/VSHEX Mod
Harleyg's DualBoot fw

and i placed my iso's in the correct ISO folder, yet i can't run any of my iso games...and i have no idea why it isn't working =/

 

You firmware is kinda old. Get custom firmware and reformat the memory stick. All ISO/CSO goes into the ISO folder.

ok, thanks

just wondering, with the newer cfw, you still retain all the emulator functions and stuff?

 

yes. Once you got 4.01 M33, the newest firmware. Install the 1.50 addon

 

yes it worked with me in the past. then i had downgraded my psp to 3.71 m33-2 because of the universal unbricker. thanks again mrgooey

 

k, everything's working great, ty

and sorry to bother u, but had another question

so, installed:
3.52 + m33-3
4.01 + m33-2
1.50 kernel addon

on my 1g stick...but now i'd like to use my 8g stick for all my game isos and stuff, and was wondering if there were any files or anything that i would have to transfer to the 8g in order to run the csos.

 

@Dark_PSP, welcome. Did I helped you before?

@CrazyChao, after installing the 4.01 M33 and the 1.50 addon. Reformat both memory card via PSP. Place any ISO/CSO into the ISO folder. You're done

Try this

1. Turn off your PSP fully (by holding the power button)
2. Turn it on again while holding the R button
3. This should bring you to the Recovery Mode
4. Go to Config
5. Click the UMD mode until you reach to NP9660
6. Exit the Recovery Mode

Do not mess with the Recovery mode unless you know what you are doing.
