Hacking How To Softmod (Hack) Your PSP

[Jiehfeng]

If you format it from the PSP itself (while it's in the hacked mode), it'll make the folders for you automatically.

It's not in hacked mode
Anyway, I googled it and made the folders. And I put the update eboot. But it doesn't appear in the games.
Do I need Chickhen to update my PSP? Cause I'm having problems using chickhen

ms0:/psp/game/update/"pbp file goes here"

Like that. Updating to a higher OFW doesn't rely on any hacks.

But when I put the update file in the game folder, it doesn't appear in the psp

Is it in it's Update Folder?

 

[Jiehfeng]

Is it in it's Update Folder?

Yes, it is.
PSP says there are no games

 

[Jiehfeng]

Just tried adding cfw enabler in the update file too and that too doesn't appear. There must be some problem.
I'm using a usb connector.

The only way to determine that this is truly a problem is if you give us a screencap of your file hierarchy. (this stick is the one you've just formatted? What sort is it?)

I connected my psp in and formatted it. The memory stick in the psp was Sony Memory Stick 4GB (the original memory stick which came with the psp)

Spoiler: Files

And nothing shows up? That's totally bizarre....

What if you just throw some random crap in the PSP/GAME folder to check if you can even get corrupted data to show up on the xmb?

Random Crap thrown.
Still nothing. This is something serious

You could always try restoring to the default settings in the Settings menu which effectively formats flash1. That may make a difference...

Nope. Tried that too. I'm so frustrated

If you drop an ISO into the ISO Folder does it show as corrupted?

Nope. It just doesn't appear then.
What did I do wrong?!

 

[Jiehfeng]

Hahahahah!
Found the problem. My PSP was named removable disk, until I changed it to PSP. Then I changed it to Jiehfeng.
I guess the PSP is mixing it's name and the file

EDIT: Starting... It says connect the charger, when charged enough the update will start. Oh god

Does PSN work with the latest 6.60 cfw? My apologies if the answer is somewhere obvious and I missed it.

 

[Rydian]

PSN works with the latest PRO, both 6.20 and 6.60 last I checked.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Thankyou so much guys! Hack successful.
And I have a question, my friend has a system software of 6.35. Will it work on that?

 

[Rydian]

He should upgrade to 6.60 (PSP 1000 or earlier 2000) or downgrade to 6.20 (later 2000 or any 3000/Go).

There are hacks for 6.35 and 6.39, but anything past 6.20 can't use it's temp hack, so if you can't use that you might as well go 6.60.

 

[Jiehfeng]

BTW, will CXMB work on this hack?
