just make sure your psp is charged at least 75% and better yet while u run the update program keep the power plugged in. If you somehow lose power during the update process your psp will get bricked.

Oh geez, i never know that tho @_@ when i was trying to upgrade my cfw to 3.80 it says that batt must be more then 75% and lucky it dint brick my psp

Oh ya if my firmwave now is 3.80m33 onlia and i can straight update to m33-5 rite?

QUOTE(sprix @ Jan 18 2008, 10:55 AM)

yup.. if 4gig.. sure u'll face the lag prob.. so just format ur memory stick to FAT16 format.. then, u can play what ever game as smooth as a silk.. huhu..

this is the guide

How to format specifying filesystem

just connect ur psp to ur pc as usual.. then do the step below...

1. Go to Start Menu -> Run...
2. Type 'cmd' without quotes
3. At command prompt, type:
'format x: /q /fs:FAT' (without quotes, this is for FAT16 filesystem)
(change x to your MS drive)

If asks for a Force Dismount, choose yes.
If it warns you about compatibility problems on FAT16, just ignore it.
If it asks for a Volume Label, just type anything or none at all.

gudluck..

back up ur folder and any save game coz memory stick will be formatted fresh like a baby...

Did you download the correct official firmware? maybe your EBOOT.PBP already corrupted. try download again.

and make sure u need 3 files inside the UPDATE folder (mso:PSP/GAME/UPDATE), which consists of
-EBOOT.PBP
-u235.prx
-380.PBP

WilliamG

Jan 25 2008, 09:48 PM

U mean the 380.PBP must be inside the UPDATE folder?Or jus PSP/GAME/....?

Oh...hehe its done,i dint noe that 380.PBP must be inside the UPDATE folder

I have PSP Slim and currently running 3.71 M33. I want to upgrade 3.71-4 M33. Is this tutorial reliable? http://www.stylemo.com/2007/12/27/how-to-u...e-to-371-m33-4/

It says upgrade directly to 3.71-4 without having to install prev. revision.

And also there is no such option in my recovery mode: "Enter the recovery mode and go to Configuration -> Game folder homebrew. It should read Currently 3.71 Kernel"

Thanks a bunch msn83235502. Updated mine and no problem were encountered.

I wonder what popsloader.prx in the update files is. Shall I replaced it with the new one?

And if I want to go to 3.80-5, what I should do is upgrade to 3.80 --> 3.80-2 --> Then network update or update to 3.80-4. Correct?

Thanks again.

Well, remember this: Newer updates contain old updates as well.

It means that revision 5 will contain updates from revision 2, 3, and 4. So it's the same if you go straight to V3.80 M33-5 from V3.80 M33.

And you don't have to go to V3.80 M33-2 to perform the network update. You can do that from V3.80 M33 itself.

Erm, to which folder did you copy the M33CREATOR folder to?

And your PSP is running which kernel: 1.50 or 3.03?

If you're at 3.03 OE now, you should place the M33CREATOR folder inside MSROOT/PSP/GAME150

Hi guys, I am very new to PSP. I won a psp in a lucky draw. Now deciding whether to sell it or not. Have crappy knowledge on PSP so I did a bit of research and noticed that most of the games are racing/soccer etc etc. Didn't notice any nice RPG game in PSP so I am now in a dilemma whether I should keep it or sell it. I notice that there are a lot of other functions in PSP but I have no idea how to use them

No need to rename. Just put it in a folder (u can name the folder) and put the folder inside PSP/GAME/ then try to run it. If u cant start the game..try to change the folder to PSP/GAME150 or PSP/GAME371 (this is according to ur kernel and homebrew u wanna use).

So it will be something like this...PSP/GAME/the game folder/EBOOT.PBP

EDIT: u're using slim PSP so either PSP/GAME/ or PSP/GAME371/.

It can be done.

Two options:
1. Upgrade to V2.71 and use a downgrader to bring the version to V1.50.
2. Use Pandora's.

If it uses 3.5mm jack, then it shouldn't be a problem.
