Ok well thanks for all the help but Metal Gear Solid does not work i changed it to m33 and other as well in the configuration menu with no avail.. sad.. this is weird it was working fine when i was using 3.40 oe-a the day before doing this. So i am going to redownload and insert the game , I am hopping the game got corrupted or something.

I thought of creating a section for custom firmwares in my PSP for Beginners' thread, but I thought that maybe that's not really a beginners' stuff. Oh well, I might just do it in the coming days.

Guys,
- I have custom firmware, 3.52 M33
- lets say I have original game (UMD) which supports online play
- can I play it online or will Sony block my machine since I have a customized firmware?

U can play it online even using game in mspd or custom firmware. For now la...dont know la later...

Actually the custom firmware is the orignal firmware with some tweaks so we can play homebrew. So i should be ok. Actually do you guys have any problem playing any games that need a umd in the drive the 3.52 m33 firmware. Just asking. Maybe i did something wrong?

Why..? Ur 3.52 M33 have problem to play game that need UMD in drive? I'm still on 3.51 M33-7 and i can put away my UMD. np9660 rock.. \m/

Its weird bro i can play other games without the umd but i cant play metal gear solid

it's not the first time this has happened..
during Dark Alex's era, there was once where the psp will hang up if you put it on standby during the briefing menu in mgs po

hhhmmmm
i am using 3.40OE
if want to upgrade to 3.52 M33
what should i do????
hehe...

Just download the 3.52 M33 firmware, read the instructions and you're good to go.

go to Page 108 and you are good to go.. God i hate work atleast i can play with my PSP and raid with my guild in World of Warcraft today lol.

1 - If you are under official 1.50 PSP firmware, copy kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders from "1.50only/" of this download to your "ms0:/PSP/GAME/" and use it.
2 - Once done it, or if you are under any Special/Open Edition/M33, copy M33CREATOR folder to your "ms0:/PSP/GAME" (1.50fw) or "ms0:/PSP/GAME150" (SE/OE)
3 - Download official 3.52 eboot, rename it to 352.PBP and place it on "ms0:/PSP/GAME/M33CREATOR/" or "ms0:/PSP/GAME150/M33CREATOR/"
4 - Download official 1.50 eboot, rename it to 150.PBP and place it on "ms0:/PSP/GAME/M33CREATOR/" or "ms0:/PSP/GAME150/M33CREATOR/"
5 - Go to Games/Memory Stick on your PSP, and execute "3.52 M33 CREATOR". Once finished, it will go back to the XMB.
6 - Go again to Games/Memory Stick on your PSP, and execute "3.52 M33UPDATE". You'll have to press X to agree to the installation.
7 - When finished, press X to shut down and reboot manually.
8 - Enjoy your 3.52 M33

this is the read me file from 3.52 M33
i got few questions:
1. My one is 3.40OE....so i should follow step 1 or step 2??
2. THe step 3 and 4, we need to download the Official ourselves??or use the eboot inside the M33CREATOR folder?

if u are in 3.40oe or any of oe series,just skip the step 1.because step 1 is for those who are in 1.50.

A more precise explanation would be:

A custom firmware is a combination of two official firmwares:
- V1.50 (homebrew-able), and
- the latest decryptable firmware (latest features).



Your answers:
1. You can completely ignore Step 1 and proceed straight to Step 2.
2. Yes, you'll need to download official firmware updates by yourself. Then, put the two renamed firmware updates into the M33CREATOR folder.

Good luck.

DFlo, thanks so much
hehe...sure many psp noob very like you oh
u are so helpful
thkx....

but i got 1 question is those Non-original 2GB MSPD high speed one....RM80 5 years warrantys as well, do you think to worth to buy??and does it stable??

Haha, you're welcome. I was a beginner (n00b) so I understand the feeling of not-knowing-something-but-still-wanna-do-it thing.

Well, for fake MSPDs, there are a major problem: damn slow transfer rates.

yeah and trust me you'll cry when you wanna transfer stuff above 1gb

When you say slow rates... how slow is it? Are there any benchmarks for it?
I wanna know if mine is fake or real...

so far base on my observation
500mb liddat is about 7-8minutes for fake mspd

You guys said the transfer speed will slow
then when play game will lag too????
hhmm...bcs i got some friends using nonorginal 2GB high speed MSPD
they said no problem with it oh~~~
so want to ask u guys opinion~~
hehe
