Do I have to worry about this if I'm not using any DLC?

 

[Rydian]

I've followed the softmod guide to install 6.20 PRO-B6 Perm up to the point where I've just updated my OFW to 6.20 and placed the 6.20 PRO-B update folder and the Perm folder into my memory stick. For some reason, when I try to run the update file, my PSP goes to a black screen and nothing happens. Anyway to fix this?

I previously had 5.50 Prometheus installed. I used Hellcat's to downgrade to 5.00 just like in this guide, then updated to 6.20.

I did that myself and talked somebody else through it and it worked for both of us. Try emptying your /seplugins/ folder.

I have 6.20 PRO-B5 installed. What do I need to do to bring it to B6?

I have 6.20 PRO-B5 installed. What do I need to do to bring it to B6?

1. Disable all plugins (new advice being given now, just to be safe)

2. Rerun the b5 perm patch to uninstall b5

3. Run the 'update' folder of pro b6 to get to lcfw

4. Run the b6 perma patch
a. press x then x to test.(it's successful if you're returned to the xmb)
b. run it again
c. press x then o to install

Thanks Rydian. That seemed to work. On another note, has anyone tried using CheatMaster Fusion on 6.20 PRO? I've enabled the plugin and as far as I know configured it correctly, but the cheat menu won't load in-game.

PSN Has returned! Ill be checking soon if the store works on 6.20 PRO b5 perm.

Do note that it needs the CheatMaster or whatever folder in the root, not the seplugins folder. Some plugins are like that, static directories and all that jazz.

I can log in and download a free comic on 6.20 PRO-B6, but can't seem to actually download those two free PSP games.

i thought that

you have to find a game actually called Welcome back

select it then you get the choice of the 4 games, download 2 you like
if you try for 3 it will throw a error

 

[Rydian]

I did that, but when it comes to actually download the games it won't. The games I picked show up in my list and I can attempt to redownload them, but I error when it does.

Just tried a PSP demo and am getting the error as well (but free comics work).

 

[KevFan]

just wanted to post this, even though its old news, and more than likely already known..........
for those who want to test out PRO online mode, you can, though it only works with Gods Eater Burst atm
http://www.coldbird.uk.to/?e=7

And those who want to be up to date with the lastest changes with PRO source+ added features can test out the nightly builds that are automatically compiled everynight at 23:00
http://code.google.com/p/procfw/wiki/NightlyBuilds

Note that these are not official releases and may contain bugs/unstable and also Nightly builds doesn't contain the Online features if you want to test it out.......

Yeah, I have the main CheatMaster folder in the root of my memory stick. My game.txt also has the line ms0:/CheatMaster/CheatMaster.prx 1, so it should be pointing to the prx file correctly. Still not able to open up the cheat menu in-game. I've tried different buttons including holding select, note button, brightness button, start, etc. Nothing works. Could anyone possibly link me the exact file setup they have in their MS so I can copy it to mine and try it that way? It's possible I'm missing something. If you could include the CheatMaster folder as well as your seplugins folder, I'd really appreciate it.

 

[Rydian]

Make sure plugins are enabled from the recovery menu.

And I don't mean individual plugins. In the "advanced" or whatever there's global plugin settings.

 

[iceedge]

Yeah, my recovery menu already has the individual plugins as well as general plugins enabled.

As I never used CheatMaster Fusion, I'm not really sure if I'm correct, but I'll try my best. I downloaded CMF R21c and I see that you also need the following code in your vsh.txt as well. Have you tried doing this?
CODE

ms0:/CheatMaster/CheatMaster.prx 1
