3.90m33-2 is out d.

Hi, Ive searched for this question but it did not come out, sorry if its asked before. Anyway on with the question, how do i check the region code for my PSP? the fat psp. What is the 3.90M33? i know 3.90 is the firmware but what is M33?
Thx in advance

M33 is the team that developed the custom firmware

hi, currently plan to buy psp slim. plan to bought from sony style central (sony dealers). what the diffrent if bought from other game shop
i'm noob in PSP. Any 1 can help me on that . thkQs

The main different thing is the warranty.

Other stuff you'll need to consider is whether the set offered by other game shops consists of original accessories.

Dont forget that if you buy frm sony shop you will only be able to play original games.

no la.. no matter where u buy ur psp.. the main reason can play original game or not is just firmware... if u install OFW, then u only can play umd.. and 'besides' ..

I know. My point is that person may want to install custom firmware . If so the warranty will be void should he need to claim any warranty from Sony.

flash to ori back and it should not be a problem since his psp already registered under sony malaysia.

agree.. just reinstall OFW to claim warranty..

thanks.

my other question is yet to be answered. How do i check the region code of my PSP?

See below your PSP. There's a sticker which states PSP-X0YY.

X = 1 (for fat); 2 (for slim)
YY = Region code

Codes (taken from Wikipedia):
YY = 00 --> Japan
YY = 01 --> North America
YY = 02 --> Australia/New Zealand
YY = 03 --> UK
YY = 04 --> Europe, Middle East, and Africa
YY = 05 --> Korea
YY = 06 --> Hong Kong/Singapore
YY = 07 --> Taiwan
YY = 08 --> Russia
YY = 09 --> China
YY = 10 --> Mexico

So that means better buy from SOny?

if u really want the warranty from sony.then go ahead.but if dun really care for warranty and pay cheaper..then u can go to normal shop.

oh thanks... mine is psp1002, australia. so...in which case mine would be? NTSC/J, NTSC/UC and NTSC/J Asia?

huh?...as said above; YY refer to region code... yours is 02 so
YY = 02 --> Australia/New Zealand

I think NTSC/J and NTSC/UC is applicable to PS2 but not PSP. PSP games are not region coded.
PSP1002 is a Region 4 PSP intended for sale in Australia. It will only play Region 4 UMD movies if you are using OFW. You may be able to play most/some of other region UMD movies if you are using CFW.

On 3.80 has internet radio and on 3.90 u'll get skype. So if u upgrade to 3.90m33 u'll get both internet radio and skype. U choose....

I dont think ur 2nd question can be answer here. Try PM...

ok...thanks


oh...but according to this click here...it has those NTSC/J and NTSC/UC

U sure about this? How to do it? Have u try to play other region UMD movie with ur cfw PSP? No...i'm not talking about ripping it to ISO.

hi, i'm new here... I just bought a new mspd from my fren and thinking to use wif my psp...My i know what i need to do to the mspd 1st b4 i 'use' it? Need to format it 1st?

Just plug it in. Your PSP can do the formatting for you.

hmm im abit confuse..if u got custom firmware..u cant play ori UMD? are there even fake UMD?i tot ppl only download games to mem sticks..

the other thing is..are there diff region PSP sold in kl?if so..y?

Thanks. Btw, we can use the usb cable to charge our psp, rite? may i know how to do it? i plug in it and sellect usb connection, but it is not charging...

There's nothing to do. Even setting the Region Free option in recovery menu usually makes no difference.
It depends on the UMD. From my collection of UMD movies, Region 2 UMDs from Japan seem to work only on Region 2 PSPs. I have one Region 2 UMD from Europe which works on PSP of any region. All of my Region 4 UMDs from Australia works fine on PSP of any region except for one which only works on my PSP1002 (Region 4).

Of course u still can play ori UMD. There are no fake UMD.


That mean cfw fake region still cant play any other region UMD movies. Maybe ur region 4 UMD movie is like....region free? Lol...dont know. I only got region 2 (japan) UMD and it cant be play on region 1 PSP. Region 2 PSP can play both region 2 UMD from japan or europe.

I think it means that CFW can play some UMD movies from other regions.
My Region 2 UMD from Japan plays only on Region 2 PSP.
My Region 2 UMD from Europe plays on Region 2, Region 3, Region 4 PSPs.
11 of the Region 4 UMDs from Australia plays on Region 2, Region 3, Region 4 PSPs.
1 of my Region 4 UMD from Australia plays only on my Region 4 PSP.

Sorry if this had been asked many times...

Anyone here tried using Skype on PSP before? It seems that there is a firmware update on the PSP that have Skype installed here :

http://www.gamespot.com/features/6185924/i...topslot;title;1

Which version of firmware is that and does this only works on the Slim? Anyone tried this on the Fat before?

ooh. WOW

hahaha..it's 3.90 lah bro.

Wow..3.90 huh. Time to get the M33 version then. Paying bernard a visit soon.LOL.. (Still no guts to flash firmware myself)

I really wish its usable on the Fat as well though..

u're using fat? skype are only for slim.eventhough u are at same firmware,skype will not appear.

eh, just a quick question: Is there language difference between EU and US version of PSP game?

I have both actually. Which is why i wanted the skype to work on the Fat as well. Damn, too bad then it wont work..

I'm interested in a PSP but completed know nothing about it. I've gone tru the FAQ at post #1 and would like to ask few questions.

#1
What is the difference purchasing from console shops instead of purchasing from Sony Style Malaysia?

#2
What is a modded PSP that console shops sells? Why are they not warrantied? What is the purpose of a modded PSP?

#3
What does region do/mean?

#4
PSP got wifi. How do i type alphabets when i surf the net?

#5
When i build my PC i have basic knowledge about PC and how to troubleshoot. Do i need some basic knowledge how to handle a PSP to own one? Like is there command or scripts that i need to mess with if my only intention with the PSP is to play games and maybe surf the net?

#6
Where do most LYN surfer buy their UMD games from? The games selection seems limited.

#7
Is there instant messenger(IM) for PSP?

#8
Will there be a new PSP soon? Do YOU GUYS recommend me to purchase the PSP without having a game desired? Till now I only play computer fps games so no favourites

Thanks.

Been reading alot.. so i try to answer for you.

#1

difference in warranty, local console shops are selling parallel imported PSPs and Sony-MY won't help you service it.

#2
What is a modded PSP that console shops sells? Why are they not warrantied? What is the purpose of a modded PSP?
The same reason as a modded PS2. In other words it is to run homebrew and some "other" games. They are not warrantied as long as they found the modded firmware inside

#3
What does region do/mean?
PSP don't have games region, but do have UMD movie region which follows DVD region

#4
PSP got wifi. How do i type alphabets when i surf the net?
Onscreen keyboard, much like how you type SMS

#5
When i build my PC i have basic knowledge about PC and how to troubleshoot. Do i need some basic knowledge how to handle a PSP to own one? Like is there command or scripts that i need to mess with if my only intention with the PSP is to play games and maybe surf the net?
To play PSP games is as easy as ABC. You 'll need some knowledge in installing modded firmware and homebrew apps

#6
Where do most LYN surfer buy their UMD games from? The games selection seems limited.
playasia, or local website like TSB.com.my, or local game shops

#7
Is there instant messenger(IM) for PSP?
Skype as the official IM client for PSP now

#8
Will there be a new PSP soon? Do YOU GUYS recommend me to purchase the PSP without having a game desired? Till now I only play computer fps games so no favourites
There will not be any variation in PSP hardware for the time being.
Recommend or not it really depends on you. But to play FPS on a PSP is a no-no to me.
What PSP great is able to serve as portable entertainment, able to deliver near PS2 graphics. Upcoming game like God of War will expose hidden potentials in PSP hardware.

read this and think

UMD Regions

DVD region coding has been applied to most UMD movies, although a large majority of UMD games are "Region 0" ("All Zone") which makes them playable in all PSP systems.

* Region 0: Worldwide (in-flight-movies, cinemas, ferries, etc.)
* Region 1: United States, Canada, U.S. territories, Latin America
* Region 2: European Union, Japan, Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland, French territories
* Region 3: Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore
* Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands
* Region 5: Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, India, the majority of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia
* Region 6: Mainland China

Model numbers

On the base of the PSP is the model number of the unit. This number indicates the intended region the unit was designed for. These model numbers are as follows:

* PSP1000 - Japan
* PSP1001 - USA
* PSP1002 - Australia
* PSP1003 - United Kingdom
* PSP1004 - Europe, Middle East, and Africa
* PSP1005 - Korea
* PSP1006 - Hong Kong, Singapore
* PSP1007 - Taiwan
* PSP1008 - Russia
* PSP1009 - China
* PSP1010 - Mexico

Hope this helps..

hi guys, good morning!

may i know can i flash the same firmware over it self? coz i flashed my PSP to custom XMB theme, now i wan to revert it back to the ori one but i din backup my flash0, im using 3.90 M33-2 btw.


Thanks!

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "read this an think". Please elaborate. Thanks.

Finally my knowledge in PSP is more adi.. i finally draw up balls(not that i have any) to update firmware. i want to change faceplate and the buttons.

My buttons abit "khek sui" already.. Because people keep banging on the buttons non stop.

I have looked around tutorials and never seem to "understand" them. Soo i was wondering if any one here can enlighten me about changing of the buttons?. Face plate should be "sap sap water" cause its just like sticking a cover on.

I see people having troubles with the analog stick after changing the face plate so im abit scared of screwing up my psp. Any pointers on changing the buttons properly??

edit: Screen cloths, can use those wipe specs cloth ah? Same material isnt it??

simple answer cfw does not make your psp can play other region for umd movies.

hi.. i jus got my psp..wanna ask expert here..
if i change my MSPD card, will be firmware gone?
and how to determine the speed of the MSPD card...
coz my one i think is a fake MSPD...
thx

But my Region 2 (Europe) and most of my Region 4 UMD movies play on PSP1000 (Region 2), PSP1002 (Region 4) and PSP1006 (Region 3). There's a Free UMD Region option in recovery menu, so I guess CFW does play UMD movies of other regions but for some unknown reason, it does not work with some UMDs.

You use this. Copy the HTML and google.gif to your /PSP folder. Then set your web browser's homepage to this HTML by entering in file:/psp/index.html using the phone-style input. Do this just once, and from then on every time you load the web browser you are presented with a keyboard entry. The downside to this is it doesn't work for normal text input, only URLs.

I thought CFW allows you to play non-region free UMD as well?

am i missing something here?
im using a fake 4gb card,and using my inbuilt hp card reader it takes something like 30 minutes to transfer a 700 meg file.even on an external card reader it takes the same time.

but on my dell,it takes just 2 minutes!

am i missing something??

we talk about umd movies , not game , yes there is option free umd region but it's not working

@bill3 like Lakum said i think you got free region umd movies .A lot people over the net/forum find it's not working

hahaha..i dont know why but yes, i did noticed dell's USB are running at lightning speed.very much faster than other pc.hahaha..

and 700mb should not be 30mins..i think ur usb or card reader is running on slow usb.i'm using fake 4gb non high speed too.but didnt took that long.
