sorry to ask here maybe again and again..
how to check whether the psp is fake or not?
i'm a lil bit of confused here..pls help me.
tq

i tot fully cannot modified already

You mean you want to checl wether your memory stick is a fake one or not?
If so,scroll to any tabs in your main menu(Like video or music etc),then hit triangle.
If it says "Memory Stick : Unknown",then it's a fake memory stick.If it says MagicGate Supported,then it's genuine.

WELL... if you've been reading why the new ta-088v3 cant modified..
TA-088v3: is shipped with official firmware 4.01, it is assumed (and highly likley) battery EEPROM flashing will be disabled. Although a Pandora battery will still attempt to boot the Initial Program Load from memory stick, the preipl microcode exploit Despertar Del Cementario was using has been patched meaning only IPL's Digitally signed by Sony will boot from memory stick. Currently, installing custom firmware on the TA-088v3 motherboard is not possible.

it cant be pandorize..
almost impossible i think...
AND THAT WAS FOR PSP2000
with the new mobo for psp300.. i geuss sony have made it a lot tougher then the previous mobo..

@playboy21
got other link? i just now download all the .ctf theme from that side..
currently i only use the theme that win competition.. haha..
looking for other awsome theme.. other2..

psp can do what?i can surf lyn if got wireless conection ? its pes2008 is similar like the pes2008 pc version ?
currently in dilemma what to buy or not

Hi, I've looked at the 1st page and see that there's a guide on how to differentiate between fake and genuine Sony MSPD. Is there any guide on how to do the same for Sandisk MSPD?

Just saw this, this way is the best to determine right?

erm i had my previous post deleted,so im using same firmware as paipai which is official firmware 3.95,how do i install 3.95GEN-2 using the softmod way?btw im clueless about making magic memory stick and pandora baterry using the softmod way...so any guide to help me?

Dude,come on' man...
I've told you a couple of times already.To create a Pandora's Battery the softmod way,you'll need access to an already hacked psp.This means you need access to a HOMEBREW CAPABLE psp.Only then you can run the Pandora's Battery creator tool.

For the hardmod way,you'll need to crack open the battery.

Please read my previous replies to your questions.

I'll give you a short explaination.

A psp can view photos (Various different formats),listen to music (wma,mp3's),watch videos(mp4),play games (3d ones),browse the net(yes,you can browse LYN).

If you've got a hacked unit,then you can play homebrew games,use homebrew applications,apply custom CTF themes and do many MORE.

As for PES2008,it won't be as good looking as the PC version,but to me..it's good.
Go read up the reviews on it,and see the game graphics for yourself.

guess ill send to shop to let them do it lah so hard to understand

http://www.lengoldenstein.com/2008/07/05/h...sp-slim-step-1/

does this guide still work?can tell me pls

Yes,that is a good guide on how to hardmod your battery.You do NOT need to worry about the memory stick yet,just get the Pandora's Battery part done first.As i've told you before,doing this isn't easy and you might end up wasting a few batteries.You can also injure youself if you are not careful.

Send it to shop...it's up to you.If you feel that it's wise to pay a shopkeeper a large sum of money just to create a Pandora's Battery which is meant to be a FREE SERVICE...then do so.Nobody will stop you
Do what's best for you.

i dont know how much it cost for my sister to do it for her PSP-1000 at shop but i think quite cheap....if not mistaken,i just dont wanna end up screwing my batteries and end up wasting more money....no ways to make pandora using softmod?

Woi!,read my earlier posts lah..
I explained clearly...
You can only softmod the battery if you have access to a psp which already has custom firmware installed on it.

haha,paham tak sekarang?

ok faham,i malas la,my mum said go shop....

please behave kid... dont help people if u cant control ur emotions. Using caps lock is totally rude.

if he dont help, you help?

uh..
Didn't you see the "haha" word at the end of my post?
If you don't like the way i help,go ahead and help.
Also,i don't think i need to be told to behave.I've got a good set of brains in me.I know my limits
Not being an idiot or what,but i'm just expressing myself.

Thanks for backing me up mate

waa.. cool Playboy.. i understand your current state now to face PMR..
hehe.. but just out of topic.. no need to study SO HARD on your PMR..
even if your destiny to go abroad.. just be yourself and you will get what you want.. more you presure more hard to face PMR.. trust me..
discussion on forum more effective.. hehe.. i think..

by the way.. just cool yourself..

haha,alright,i'll take your advise
Thanks man

i gotta tell you one thing. im going to be the Ahole to do this, PMR is not important. trust me.

it is important trust me ... psp you can always play but pmr you can only exam one time ...trust me ..it help to place you in good class in form 4 ...

Ya man,i'm kinda scared of my BM. lol

just make sure you can go into science enough ler. SPM is very4 important. it determines where can you further your studies.

wow damn cocky for 15 years old boy

no one asked u to help people here n yet now u think u the "master" in this thread..lol..

but i dont care how cocky u are... caps lock is rude.. dont be noob..

lolz.. be cool man.. no need to arguing here..
be matured since u older than 15 years old.. just being adult lolz..
to playboy21 too.. no need to CapLocking ur word..
i guess u should edit ur post.. thx if u do so..

well.. its going out of control about PMR issues.. ignore it..
diff ppl come with diff opinion.. PMR is important or not base on ur goal..
even if u got SBP after this.. surely u cant play PSP anymore..
coz no SBP allow bring those kind thing.. u can think urself..
no more PSP after PMR.. k.. i think off this out topic can?

pass it if u dont care about it,get A1 for it if u wanna see flying colours in ur result slip

Alright,i don't want to be an idiot and start arguing with you for no valid reason.I've NEVER said that i'm the "master" in here.I just helped the needy,but meh...whatever.

playboy21 music have playlist,
do u know video can create playlist ?

As far as i know,you can't create one.Not too sure though,sorry

i got CFW d,now that problem of adding themes...got 2 ways rite?flash0 and CTF,apa maksud 2 benda ni?

btw i download 1 theme d,i think need to do flash0....anyone got better way to add themes?

What firmware is your psp?
If it's either 3.71m33,3.80m33,3.90m33 or 4.01m33,then you can follow this guide of mine to help you install CXMB 3.2.1 on your psp.Once done doing so,you can apply CTF themes to your psp.I don't recommend flash 0 themes because you'll need to access and alter several files in your flash 0 in order to get a theme installed.This means,your psp will brick if you do something wrong.Another disadvantage of using flash 0 themes is that you can't switch themes on the go.

CXMB 3.2.1 Guide

hey..

i dunno wheter this is m.stick prob or psp prob

my psp can't detect my m.stick 2gb and 4gb

i must take it out and insert it again and again..

until it detect..

and the 4gb card always automatically deleted my saved game

You most probably have a fake stick.You might want to try formatting your memory stick on your PSP.If the same problem still occurs,then it's beyond my knowledge field.

*Make sure you back up all your important files before you format your stick*

tq playboy21

holla~ i was told to post this here...

I completed FF Crisis Core in my friend's phat PSP (call it PSP A) before i purchased my own PSP (call it PSP B) until last week. So, i transfered the saved game from PSP A to PSP B to enjoy the special features on my replay. Funny that when i load the game, it shows;

"Load failed. The data is corrupted"

any way to solve this? well, it'll be good to understand the causes even if i cant save it though, since i myself am PSP owner now.


ps: i'm not too sure of this but some say FF has several versions, so the saved game files may not be compatible. FYI i transferred the entire FF game file from PSP A to PSP B, assuming it should work since the sources are the same, but sadly, it didnt...

any idea?

thank you in advance~

ya my m.stick is a fake stick.gonna try format it

hurm..do u know what the difference between m.card and m.stick??

@5zal06
better u google it... but for general knowledge..
mem stick and mem card is the same thing..
sony company didnt use mem card word..
so they use mem stick to express their mem card to public..
once u said mem stick, ppl will think it will compatible with sony product..
but for more accurate just google it..

No problem

that because PSP A n PSP B have a diffrent firmware. Some save games can only be use/read on the same firmware.

So far nothing u can do. U need to play the game again.

I encountered the same problem on my PSP

Even though the same game, but different ISO rip or different version (e.g US/EU version), the save game may not work

I would suggest get your friend's iso and try

That is if you are using ISO games la

yes, the save game not gonna work if the game in on diffrent region since the code is diffrent. But u not gonna get an error if u put diffrent region save game on ur memory card,because they use diffrent folder.

hey,how do u format m.stick??

do u connect the usb cable and
copy all the folders from the root(outside) that contains - ISO,MUSIC,VIDEO??

or u cut it??and format the m.stick from your psp?

i cut and paste at my pc and paste it back on my psp..it says something

i check the result tommorow

tq 4 the info kamikraze
i already thought it was a same thing just curious why they name it as a m.stick...i hate that name,i prefer m.card..coz many ppl can understand,if m.stick..they thought what stick.and ask again and again(for people who wanna buy psp la,like my friend),

it doesnt matter u use cut/paste or copy/paste ... works the same..

to format your memory stick:

1)go to SETTINGS in your XMB

2)Click on system and scroll down to Format Memory Stick

simple as 123.


==EDIT==
please backup the files you want so that you don't lose your files inside that you want.
such as music, photos, movie, savefile from game.

5zal06 use fake m.card so its not a good idea to format trough psp since psp will format with fat32. Its better to format with fat16 for fake memory card.

The best way is to use this software to format fake m.card...

http://www.mediafire.com/?bxhoivmehvb

@5zal06
np.. but there some diff with mem card n mem stick.. the file format..
by the way.. just ignore it.. just same also.. diff mem card come with diff file format and the way they encrypt the data..

@blackamikaze
well what is the diff between fat32 and fat16?
look like fat32 more faster than fat16?
if so why not just format with fat32? im blurr.. ^.^

the diffrent is FAT16 have bigger cluster size than FAT32. For the speed, FAT32 is not faster than FAT16. FAT32 just uses space more efficiently compare to FAT16.

But for some reason psp read faster with FAT16 compare FAT32, maybe the big cluster size help psp read data more easier.

Anyway this only true for psp n maybe certain devices but not for pc..

but i thought you can just format your mem stick with your pc without a 3rd party program?. but havent tried it though.
and, fat32 is faster to read in psp than fat16. read it somewhere. by formatting with your pc, you'll format it as fat16.

so if format it to FAT16, will it have better read write speed?

thanks blackkamikaze and auhckw...

hmm, i guess its the firmware then...cos i did copy the entire game from PSP A to PSP B...

sigh...gotta replay from scratch...

by the way, how do u determine which version the game is? for instance, EU, US etc?

well i thought i might try downloading some saved games from gamefaq.com...but dunno which and what...hmm
