Hacking How To Softmod (Hack) Your PSP

[Rydian]

It looks like they weren't using the latest PRO, judging on the time stamps.

Well, the issue is still around in PRO B9, it happened to my friend on a 1G PSP 1000 .
Should he try the 6.60 ME-1.4 ?

Does it occur on every single game he plays, or just one/few of them? If it's just a few I suspect that it's a bad dump. If it's all of them, it's probably a plugin.

This is a clean install with no plugins activated . I'll make him try more games .

Hi there not sure if my problem has already been stated but I've gone through the first three pages and haven't seen anything yet so I'm going to go ahead and shoot. I just installed PRO 6.60 B9 on this PSP 2000 and I'm not able to play the ISO's. I place it into the PSP/GAMES/ISO folder but when I go to run it I get an error saying that the data is corrupt. I've tried this with a couple ISO's now so I know it's not the ISO that's messed up.

So I've tried downgrading to a previous version of PRO but when I run the downgrader I get a message saying that the firmware is not supported. I'm at a complete loss, could somone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Put them in PSP/ISO & they will work.

 

[mojack]

Hmm, well by doing that the games don't even show up in the Games menu on the PSP. Am I missing something?

 

[The_Dragons_Mast]

Sorry for that I meant put them inside a folder called ISO in the root of the memory card .

 

[mojack]

That did the trick. Thanks, that was a really simple mistake and I'm sorry for not knowing.

 

[chaosdarkneo]

It's no problem. Everyone makes a simple mistake once or twice. Hell, I almost accidentally formatted my computer's hard drive once.

...Oh wait, that's not a simple mistake...

Hmm, OH! I deleted the firmware for my DS flashcard to install a new one. Forgot to put the new one on and spammed the forums begging for help.

What is the CIPL_Flasher folder for?

 

[xist]

CIPL = Custom IPL

It's for making the firmware permanent on fully flashable PSP's (all 1000's and some 2000's)

Ok, thanks.

I have a PSP 09g model on OFW 6.39. I install 6.39 LME 9.7 and all is good. Upon a power down and restart, the cfw is gone and it is back to OFW.Yet I can't seem to find anything about a permanent fix for this. What would you guys suggest I do? Is there a better and permanent cfw for my psp?

Been out of the scene since the 2000 model was released and the pandora battery came out, so I am out of the loop. lol.

 

[xist]

There's a permanent fix for you but it's not better due to permanent negative consequences on future updates. Also use PRO CFW's....

So 6.39Pro-B9 would be a better option? Will it work on the 09g I have?

 

[xist]

In all honestly there's not a massive amount of difference between the two, so if your only issue is the temporary nature of the firmware you may as well stick with what you have until it gives you problems.

The perm patch for these firmwares on non Custom IPL PSP's only works on 6.20 OFW. Since this will brick a 09G you have to trick it into downgrading which will cause IDStorage issues...unless you REALLY dislike waiting a few seconds to boot into CFW then don't force the downgrade and stay on your 6.39 LCFW.

 

[shango46]

I will stay with the temp version until something is figured out. Is there a recovery menu option for the temp version? How does one enable and disable .prx files (like popsloader)? I am a n00b all over again. Missing my old TA-082 2.71. lol

 

[zygie]

Until a real safe way without tricks is discovered staying on "temp" is recommended, there's nothing bad about it. Press select when you're in CFW and you can go to a Recovery Menu.

As for enabling/disabling plugins, one way is to edit the VSH/GAME/POPS.txt files in the SEPLUGINS folder of your PSP, putting a "0" for disabled or a "1" for enabled, at the end of the file location.

Example:
X:\SEPLUGINS\foldername\plugin.prx 1
or:
X:\SEPLUGINS\plugin.prx 0
EDIT: X being "ms0" for a 1/2/3000 or "ef0" for a Go.

I think you can also enable/disable plugins via the Recovery Menu's "plugin" option. It will display whatever plugins are in the respective .txt files.

 

[shango46]

Awesome. It all is making sense again. Question: If the CFW is temp, would that make using custom .rco files (custom icons, custom battery, custom coldboot, etc...) impossible? I want to get in to this thing and change things up and really make it mine, but not if I am going to brick as I don't have a pandora battery (if that even works with 09g's).
