yup in the settings menu of the XMB.

BTW.. I noticed that when connecting the USB Cable in "USB Connect" in xmb the light turns amber which signifies charging...but...

does the USB charging work during a game play? like the 2 in 1 cables used to do?

to everyone who has contributed in all forms of tips/links/suggestions/recommendations/warnings I thank you all

dont get discouraged  who knows if any new information is "really new" but legit aswell. I certainly dont have time to scour the net looking for new tips and trick for the PSP Slim so again I thank the contributors of this thread again.

May i know the location of Flash0 or Flash1?
so i can prevent anything to do with it?
It's in some IC chip in PSP, no in your mspd.

example scenario:
1. When i use USB to transfer songs or movie into my psp, i get to access a lots of folder which is i think is from MSPD. is Flash0/1 in there?
Nope.

2. Izzit safe to use theme at the moment?

3. I have another new copy of MSPD, do i need to copy all folders from the first MSPD in order to use in my psp with CFW or it will auto re-create the folder inside?
Format the new mspd with ur psp, it will auto re-create the folders.

thx

that why my mspd extreamtly slow 

thanks to ur great information.. i think i will format the mspd 

i think access the flash0 directory is not save.. this is how i bricked my psp after access it..

please dont use caps when typing because its kinda rude.
typing with caps is just like you are shouting.
well, would like to tell you, but it cant be discuss here.
you can try uncle google for good ol' answer too
gl!
heyyas,
just like to tell you, avoid charging your psp
using the usb cable. some people experiencing
short-circuit using it to charge.

my fellow friend, ichigo. charged his psp using
a usb cable. and it happened to him too!.
while he was playing MHF2. the psp went
off like a leaking battery or some sort..
it happened to him 2-3 times ady.
so, i advice you all dont charge
your psp regularly with a usb cable.

yeah right and those shops might not even know how to use a hex editor and which address to extract the idstorage of the slim.

thanks.. 

it works.. but juz wondering.. why the right click didnt show but we can use command prompt to format it into FAT instead of FAT32?

However when using FAT i try transfer a file.. the speed look same..

lol speed of reading and writing is depends on the mspd, partition type only affect very little on the speed.

if we got a nand dump.. do we still need use the hex editor?
No, if u got the nand backup, u can just restore the backup without editing anything using hex editor.

For the theme.. in ver 3.71m33-2 isnt that the is .prx? They said using this it will not brick ur psp except u try to access flash root using USB

So the bottom line is that as long as you don't touch the Flash0 & 1, you are practically safe from bricking your handheld is that right?

Benard doesn't know what a hex editor is lar...

why you wanna do that?
just format the card by using psp lor
why? what? im not flamming you or anything
im just giving you a friendly advice.
well said
this reminds me when during the FAT era, everyone is scared to mod their psp

i got experience in hex editing.
went back during GTA3 games.
i hex edit car files to change the size
of the wheel rims

its quite confusing and difficult if
you got no idea what you're doing

dont know if its the same apply to psp though.

who? crystal?

yeah right like the users did nothing....things don't go haywire for nothing u know...

but..but..~ 

I know it is hard for u guys to accept it, i do really saw sumthing that could not explain.

New psp slims, tested ok (can turn on, change theme, but did not try to play iso) then done, off the psp. Then put on the screen protector and later went back to packaging.

after return home, both of us shock to see the psp cant turned on? the power led is there so we guessed it is ok. But after waiting, the screen does not appear and few sec later, the power led go off automatically.

We are sure we dun mess with the firmware or anything before. It is just a 2 hour journey back to home.

Well i don't know it happen to my friend and i take his word for it. Well he is not that smart to go to the recovery screen anyway but he is not that dumb to burn Rm 79x ++ .Stingy poker ask him to pay for yam cha also hard. Oh well...

Anyway the problem happen like 1 month ++ after he bought his psp and then he never use much of his Wifi until we got him into xxx game
and next poof the wireless started to show problems after using it

went back to the shop the shop giving lots of excuse and then blame him to flashing his psp's OS although he didn't The shop even told him, sorry but we cannot repair your PSP

*nagging mode ON*

I would like to disagree with both of you on this issue. I'm not saying that all problems are caused by the users instead of the console. But I am one of the 10% who care about their PSP more than their life. I bought my PSP from Bernard after seeing lots of good opinions on him. But ever since I bought the PSP from him, I've not been a happy customer.

Their service was nice when I went to purchase the PSP. Gave lots of promises to help should any problem occur. But on the first week itself, I found out that the PSP could not play certain racing games. It hangs occasionally when playing these games. My friends didn't have such problem with the same game, neither did some LYN members. I say 'first week' because it doesn't hang all the time and I didn't start playing that particular game on the first day. After all...they did give me 2 full DVD of games. Anyway I didn't bother about the problem as the games were not important to me, but I did inform Bernard about it. As usual, he promised to take a look at it if I send the PSP back. I simply didn't play the game anymore.

Shortly after 1 month, I played MHF2 with some friends. Things were fine at first, but then another problem appeared. While playing multiplayer, the wifi would turn itself off in the middle of the game. I checked the switch and it was still there. I didn't accidentally shut it off. This problem continued to appear everyday, once a day. A week later, I sent it back to Bernard coz it was really disturbing my friends. Very funny things happened during this time:-

- Day 1: Promised to check some kind of noise he found in the PSP. And would send it back to my house later the evening. Didn't even receive a call that day.
- Day 2: Called the shop and Crystal, the assistant said they had not check the PSP yet. Will call later the evening. No calls received.
- Day 3: Called Bernard directly. He said he tried to solve the problem by updating the firmware. Not successful. Then he said & I quote "I promise to open the PSP by today and check the problem. Will call you at 6pm.". No calls received till 6.30pm. Called Bernard again. Guess what he said? Had not check the PSP again. Asked for a few more days, after Raya. I got fedup and asked to return the PSP.
- Day 3 (evening): Arrived at the shop with a friend. Immediately after taking the PSP, Bernard blames me for using Firmware. I asked him to check the PSP for traces and he said that the firmware traces could be removed manually. More accusations started to flood the conversation. I did not 'return fire', but my friend threw some rather easy questions at him and he could not answer them properly. We didn't bother about the guy and left with the PSP hoping for the best.

I understand if he's busy since Hari Raya was around the corner. But all those promises...truly unnecessary. Now if you wanna blame me for using Firmware - I PURPOSELY avoided those softwares ever since I heard about "brick". If you wanna blame me for dropping the PSP - never in my 9 lives I dropped the PSP. I never take care of it? Ask my friends how often I use my spectacles cloth to clean the dust after every game.

Either way, the wifi problem didn't happen anymore since I got the PSP back from Bernard. Guess he fixed it but didn't realize it. However....another problem appeared. On the 2nd day after getting back the PSP...it would occasionally turn off on its own. Doesn't happen in the game (luckily), just when I flip the switch to turn it on...it would turn off again. So...basically I traded 1 problem for another

*nagging mode OFF*
I suggest you read what I just posted before deciding to buy from him. But I can't recommend anyone out there who knows so much technical stuff about the PSP either

I don't consider myself THAT lucky. My friend bought from Sg Wang, dropped it and still no problems till now. Since you're comparing...who's to say Bernard won't do the same as those fellas in Sg Wang? You worked for him? I thought I could trust Bernard well, so I left the PSP, mem card and batt with him. Next time I may do otherwise. Heck, I don't give a damn if they take parts from NDSL to fix my PSP...as long as its fixed!

about the "easy" questions...I can't remember them already. I was busy testing my PSP so I didn't pay attention to their conversation.

is it common to have services charged when they mention & I quote "this console got no warranty, but we give 1 year free service". Basically parts warranty is traded for free labor service...which if you saw my story, didn't really go that well either. He should have told me that he would need X days to repair. Not day 1 "tonight will call you", day 2 "will repair and call you back", Day 3 "haven't open yet" etc. Then I would have planned my schedule properly. I took it back from him because Raya holidays was around and I want to play during that time.

Look, what I'm trying to explain here is that even the best guy around will have faults. And when problems occur, you can't immediately say its users fault. You wanna explain to me how "I" could have cause the PSP to hang only when playing racing games?

dun need...I can list them out here.
1) Moto GP
2) Sega Rally Revo

Like I said, small list so I didn't bother. The only racing game I can play without problems...Initial D. No idea why this can work but others cannot. Didn't really try any other racing games. I'm playing MHF2 mostly

oh wow! My god, you found out! I'm bustedddd~~...oh wait a minute. Didn't you say the exact same thing before my post?
good work sherlock taking masters in psychology?
I'm not gonna talk to people who are in complete state of denial.

btw, I was using V3.52 M33-2 then he upgraded it to V3.71 M33. Dun really see any difference...

We should forget all this thing~ 
and lets continue to enjoy the fun in psp~

pip_x, do u mean if we cannot play certain games, we need to change no_umd to m33?? how do i do tat??
  thx~ i really need that for FFT english version~
