urm..that was to identify 4gb m.stick.. i want 8gb m.stick

and.is there an easy way to upgrade to 4.01??

i see ur guide but.it looks easy but im just afraid of bricking

last time i upgrade to 3.90..i using a software then just paste the file to psp.is really that easy,i hope there will be something like that to upgrade to 4.01

Alright.A good friend of mine named dumbfounded made this 4.01m33 easy-installer.It does everything for you.All you need to do is to run it on your PC.

Download it here!

Once it has placed all the required files to the right directory,all you need to do is to set your kernel to 3.XX (Depending on your firmware),and run the installer on your psp.

Yo Playboy..i tried the way that you suggested but still wont work. I download the themes already but still cant use the themes.I have no idea why..The CXMB plugins that i use is dl from the guides that u make in other forums,so is it plugins got prob or i just need more time to explore my psp..lol..or should i reformat my mspd and install everything all over again? or is the anything particular that i missed out?
ihawk98
sorry if this was asked before but i am running 4.01 m33-2. can this version support a Sandisk or Sony 8gb MSPD? i recalled that last time the psp could not support MS larger than 4gb because of the fat32 formating?

Yes,3.90 kernel for 3.90 firmwares.

I don't understand why it isn't working for you..sorry.You can try formatting your memory stick as you said,and then try the CXMB 3.2.1 again.If it doesn't work,then try the other CXMB's below which are compatible with your firmware.

Hmm,what firmware are you on? *Can't remember lol*

Since the CXMB 3.2.1 isn't working for you,you might want to try the CXMB plugin which is really meant for your psp.

1) CXMB for 3.90m33 ONLY

2) CXMB for 3.71m33 ONLY

there is no question whether a tv is compatible or not as even an old 14 inch tv can be connected to the psp
you just need the right cable for the tv. for an lcd tv like yours, you need a component cable. while the crt tvs need a simple av cable.

before you buy a cable, make sure its like this

this is for the normal crt tvs.

so do i need to buy original cable? or i can buy 3rd party ones? does 3rd party ones suck as in term of quality? cause original cable are sure expensive.

And can CRT Tv play psp games? i read last time that LCD only can support psp game, but i heard a homebrew software enables the psp to play game on CRT

the 3rd party cables are okay. some cheaper ones got noise issues and grainy visuals. but i guess you can try getting some slightly expensive ones.

and to play on crt tvs, you need to do the following steps.

and you can download the following Fu Sa plugin here. smile.gif

sorry man, cant help u with that. the only way is to go to the store you bought it from and ask them to ship your psp to the manufacturer to check the firmware version.
after that they'll so some tests to see whether that is the firmware. after some 30-40days they'll ship it back to you in a box with the firmware written on a gold plated card.

Overclock your psp. maybe the clock speed is default so it takes longer time to load and stuff like that.

in your xmb press select/home depending on firmware. then set the 1st and 2nd option to 333/166 then try the game and see.

=edit=

i not a pro, but just a guess.

if setting higher clock dont work, then maybe its a file error.

Guys, help? My PSP (firmware m33) got crashed by virus... The picture and PSP folder is basically gone-case, both folder are replaced by tons of rubbish files with special characters as name (i.e. one file is named as ^%*&^$@). I can't delete it, can't move it, and to make things worse - it wiped my PSP folder clean till I can't detect any of my 'ahem' games at all.

If I reformat the memory stick, any idea how to get it working again? I don't have any recent backup, and my PSP folder is now rubbish. Really having a wonderful time here - first, my bro crash his car and now my PSP crash as well. Argh...

Right,virus? No way.The worst thing that can happen to a psp is a brick,no virus attacks as far as i know.It COULD be a USB error.It once happened on my Mac when i removed the USB cable without ejecting it first.But all it did was to remove the GAME folder,that's all.

In your case,i don't think your firmware crashed.If it crashed,you will not be able to boot your psp up.Seriously.I'd say,go ahead and format your memory stick.
