Hi, I'm another newbie with psp here. First of all, I got my psp from a friend, who is now out of reach, so I'll just drop down evething I know about this PSP of mine.

System Software / Firmare = 303OEC R+ (she got it from China)
Model Number = PSP 1006
Homebrewed before? = I'm not sure but it does have the Recovery funtion which you hold R and switch it on, so my guess is yes?

Ok. Today, I just got myself a game, FF 7 Crisis Core english version. Lets just say that I somehow get it "not that legally" if you get what I mean, especially those torrents users. I start the game, and it gives me this :

"The game cannot be started" along with the error code of "80020148"

After hours of googling here and there, I'm feeling a bit unsafe to whether or not to upgrade my psp with the firmware stated at page 1 of PSP for Beginner topic. And I also feel that the reason of the error above is because I need to upgrade the firmware to a more recent one.

Do be reminded that this is a China version of psp. I googled the firmware and all I got is all chinese website which I cant read.

Here's is what I wanna ask :

Is it ok for me to upgrade my current firmware to the firmware stated in PSP for Beginner Post or do I have to search for the China version which I absolutely have no idea of.

wow... now thats new for me lol.
i need to use pandora to convert to m33. so you mean that its convertible right? so, i'll need a homebrew-enabled psp to make a pandora battery [sources].
and it was also mentioned there that you can't then use that battery normally - so you should use a spare one. True?

And about the homebrew-enabled psp, mine have the Recovery funtion which you hold R and switch it on, so is it a homebrewed psp?

Gosh, I might be able to do it if it only involve software but when it comes to physical... I'm totally lost...

I wont mind touching the magic stick but the battery is the one that I'm afraid of.

For those who live in Kuching or coming to kuching soon and know how to do all this stuffs... read below

lol...okok...
my last question..
do I have to take out the game from the MS if I shall ever need to format the MS? scare later that the games will be gone..

lol, so in both cases, i still need to get an extra battery huh?

i'm from kuching here. wonder if anyone willing to do it for free lol. I'll treat the person to a starbucks coffee tho lol~
