If ur using Pandora then yeah it will be 5.50 Prome.......6.60 Pro CFW is by another modder who updated for the latest features

Either way u R good to upgrade to 6.60 Pro :yaypsp:

Do I just grab the 6.60 Pro update and go ahead and up date from Prome -4 or do I have to update to system 6.00 and then run the 6.60 pro update? I'm not sure as I have always done the updates the Pandora way never needed to update to system update and then too a CFW update :yaypsp:

Seems I have to update to system 6.00 and then run the 6.60 CFW and Im not sure if I want to do that I think I will stick with 5.50 Prome -4 I don't think there is any difference really between the two Googling it up.

ok All the trouble I have been having wit my psp I think its better just to start from scratch. while I can still play it I'm going to wait till I fin ff2 to do any of this incase something happens to my save file. So after I beat it I was told to try and format the memory stick reinstall 6.60 me. If that doesn't work I happen to have both an spare battery and mem stick. So I thought if I followed this guys guide I can make my own pandora battery and stick.


if I do this once it is done can I just go ahead and update straight back to 5.50 prom or 6.60 me or is there another step I have to complete?
please and thanks.

I've had 6.60 pro c for about a year and no problems till I suddenly nothing works. I'm on 6.60 me I tried to make it permanent but it doesn't seem to take. So everytime I start I have to run the update. Then the isos show and load. but all ps1 games go straight to exit/restart game menu. The snes and sega and gba load straight to a exit option. The home button is now the brightness button. Holding r on start up doesn't bring up the recovery menu. In order to bring up recovery menu I have to run the 6.60me update twice I can't bring up the vsh menu. When I load a physical copy of a umd game no button on the entire thing work. the plugins popsloader and hide the ver 3.73 update

i just fin ff2 but not the extra content. I copied the save data and formatted restored to default reinstalled 6.60. didn't work but the save file does.
I'm going to have to follow that video. The weird thing about the battery that came with the PSP I intend to make into a Pandora no longer fits my PSP. I had to tape it to charge it. The battery I normally use is a Skinner 3rd party battery.

There probably isn't one, as the controller appears to have a built-in eeprom (if it even has one at all, instead of just returning fake fixed data)... what's written on the largest chip?

At the time I didn't know I was on 6.60, which is moddable without much hassle. I'm gonna try to flash it and see what happens. The large chip has "9202 745P1" on it. That's it.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
