So, my partner bought a second hand PSP today but when he brought it home it wouldn't play any of our games, we got this error code when it tried to update the firmware (DRNFFFFFFCD). I checked the firmware and saw that it was on version 2.71, and that it was probably downgraded/hacked to be such. Seeing that it was such an early firmware I figured all might not be lost and looked up ways to install homebrew and play ISO's on it, however all attempts have been thwarted as I get this error code every time I try and start up a program such as Hellcat's Recovery Flasher: "The Game Could Not Be Started (80020148)".
So, TL;DR: Can't play games, can't install new firmware - what the hell did the last owner do to this thing, and is it salvageable?
