OK. I know this sounds REAAAAAAAAALLLY redundant when you hear this "Please help me with CFW".. :'( But I'm honestly really new to PSP scene and quite scared to just jump into something without double checking with people who know what they're doing. I did a lot of reading, but I'm still confused.. :/

So here is what I have:
  • PSP: PSP 3001 at OFW 6.35
What I want to do with it:
  • Play backup PSP ISO and PSX ISO. (PSX made from my own backups, not d/led from the PSN).
  • Still be able to play UMDs. I only have Dissidia and Crisis Core, but those are pre-6.xx firmware, so not too worried about forced FW updating.
  • Don't really have an interest in homebrew; except youtube plugin? but I can live without it.

So from what I'm reading, my 3001 is semi-hackable. And I'm reading about new CFWs that were just released, namely 6.35 PRO-B that can play PSX ISOs.. How would I go about doing this? Would I still follow this thread for the 300X? Download the signed-HEN and Prometheus ISO loader? Or should I instead download 6.35 PRO-B instead of the signed-HEN and go from there? Also, I've seen some threads stating that I need a POPSloader to play my PSX ISOs? Is that different from the Prometheus ISO loader?

Also, I'm not sure if I should run PSPident etc to find out my motherboard and module? Since apparently some module can determine how far I can go with my 3001.. :x

Also, I'm aware that this will all be temporary. The whole if-you-turn-it-off-you-must-do-it-again thing. :3

The current sticky is slightly outdated because we're waiting for the 6.20 HEN to update (it's a little behind) so things aren't as confusing.

You should download the latest 6.35 CFW (PRO-B, is it?) and the Promethus ISO loader.

You don't need to worry about your motherboard since you're not downgrading or installing firmware permanently.

POPSloader is a plugin to let you change the POPS version used to launch PSX games. You do not need it to run PSX games in the first place.

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me, Rydian!

I got my PSX games running and PRO-B seems to be great. No qualms about it so far. I don't mind re-doing it every time I turn off the PSP since it only takes like 10 seconds max to do. ^^ Going to be trying my ISO backups soon, hope it goes smoothly as well.

If I get more questions, I'll be sure to ask again. m(.__.)m!!

Thanks again!

    So true

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Sorry didnt read that part
