thanks for the answering guys

I have another question.
im using CFW 500m33-3
i downloaded some demos from PSN
but it cant play and given error 80010013
Anyone can help on this?

go to the recovery menu (boot up hold R button) > configuration
and check if your game loading driver is set to m33. if it's original or OE etc you will need a umd in the drive to play.
usually it resets to default (UMD needed) when u update.

Well I have no comments for the unit replacement part, but there's something I would like to clarify:

If the 'dot' is indeed white, it should be a STUCK pixel. If it's black, then it's a DEAD pixel.

Judging by the conversation that you had with the seller, I think chances are slim that he would repair it for you, let alone giving you a 1-to-1 exchange. I couldn't give any comments about it because I wasn't involved in this before. Maybe someone who has experience can share what can be done.

Anyone here to help out?

sad to say there will be nothing u can do about except change the screen by your own cost. the shop will not do a THING, you can try all you want, but that's just a waste of time.

they wont help u change for just 1 stuck pixel, and keep on saying u dint check properly when u bought it. in a way, that makes sense.. don't care if you don't know or a complete newbie, your loss.

seems like alot of ppl getting a psp & dunno what to check, here goes :

the basic things to check when getting a new psp is :

1. screen (dead/stuck pixel)
2. buttons (functioning, nothing stuck or watever)
3. exterior, case condition
4. umd slot
5. Memory stick slot
6. Wifi
7. USB port
8. speaker sound
9. firmware
10. battery

i think that's it, take note & remember ppl.

the most common problems would be 1,2, & 3. but just to make sure, check EVERYTHING.

next time, if you really don't know anything, BRING a friend a long who knows.

HealthBar

Nov 21 2008, 12:37 PM

question ..

what is number 3 .. MS ?

and what firmware or firmware version is the standard everyone using right now ?

benwong88

Nov 21 2008, 01:41 PM

MS : Memory stick

post edited.

currently the few that everyone favors is 3.90 m33-2 & 4.01 m33-2

for me i'm using 5.00 m33-2 for the psx games. testing & trying to run some.

QUOTE(hagon81 @ Nov 21 2008, 08:48 AM)

is yours phat or slim? for the phats, the 1.50 kernel is needed.

if it's a slim, or even if it's the phat with the 1.5kernel it still doesnt work. take a look at this.
it happened to me once after i flashed the thing to 4.01.. then i remembered i haven't installed the 1.5 kernel on my phat yet

http://my.afterdawn.com/larrylje_redwings/..._entry.cfm/2318

in short, here are my notes :

1. make sure game is in ms0:/ISO
2. shorten the file name
3. (on pc) disable read only & hidden in file properties
4. (recovery menu) configuration > umd > no umd m33 driver
5. (recovery menu) advanced > advanced configuration >
Plain modules in UMD/ISO [disable]
Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO [disable]
XMB plugins [enable]
GAME plugins [enable]
POPS plugins [enable]
6. exit, restart & try again. good luck

Wow, that's new to me. Tried pressing the brightness button? Tried removing the memory stick and booting (Seeing that the MSPD LED keeps flashing)? If you're still unable to boot your unit, try accessing recovery mode, and format flash 1 (Under Advanced).

That's right. HealthBar I would personally suggest you to browse through the first post first before you start asking, though. There will be no flaming, in any manner, around in this thread.

YES to umd games that are in ISO/CSO format.
NO to home brews. (home made games) or atleast a certain few.

ISO is the uncompressed file of the game. CSO is the compressed one, so by theory ISO games should load faster, but CSO saves space as it shaves off about 20%+ of capacity of the game.

CSO still works, although faster or not we really don't know. an extra second or 2 to wait won't kill.

most wouldn't mind. overall it would be CSO ftw.

ISO file is image file for optical disc and the disc we are refering to is UMD.

CSO is the compressed version of ISO aka Compressed ISO, it doesnt really compress by 20%. It depends, some ISO can be compressed more than 50% while some less than 10%. It depends on what type of game and what is the content of the ISO.

Of course CSO still works, however if the game involves too much of 3D graphics and high framerate like NFS Carbon, Ridge Racer, the gaming experience will be different, loading slower wont kill, jerking will kill the FUN of the game. Starting from FW 3.80 and above, there is a change of MS reading in Firmware causing some slow down in loading and slow down in CSO reading where it jerks like Ridge Racer, Prince of Persia etc. Thats why DA released 3.71 fatmsmod.

But the best is still umcompress it to ISO.

now the mod-able PSP 2000 prices has been jacked up like hell, they are now selling from RM900 till RM10xx also got. PSP3000 is a tad cheaper but it's unmoddable at the moment,

if you are the usual malaysian gamers which is "budget oriented" type, I suggest go get a used PSP 2000 which is moddable, u can get one at around rm6xx

i have a problem with loading the games onto the the memory stick even though the games are is cso. & iso format. The funny thing is that the games that were loaded into the memory stick by my dealer, when i copy into my laptop and try to load in into the same memory, it just can't play. I'm confident i save in at the correct ISO folder in the memory stick but still it doesn't work. i've even reformat the memory card and try to load, still same problem but when taken it to the shop to load, its working fine. What's missing here?

btw, my software version is 3.71 M33-2. i don't think it the card reader that the cause of the problem. Pls help or adv????????

Make sure the version of ur Clazziquai is hacked.

The culprit is ur save file.

Remove Thrillville Savefile if u have it, remove hotpixel extended pack if u have it.

Try booting the game again. Make sure u updated to latest version, although you can play it in 3.90M33
