ive found custom firmwares and devhook stuff, which is the easiest just to play ISOS?

Use:
1. Pandora Battery
2. Magic Memory Stick
3. TOTALNewbieasyInstallerPandorasmenu

To:
1. Install Custom Firmware

Then you can play ISO by putting it in the ISO folder in your MS.


Pretty simple, huh? I still remember when my friend showed me modded PSP in scene's early days, with the need of homebrew ISO loader and such.

Hopefully he finds it really simple, I got my psp phat when it first came out and had to wait for the 1.50 downgrade and those iso loader were awesome back in the day, but with DA and his CFW, the psp scene is so much different, it crazy how the scene has changed so much and how easy some stuff is compared to back in the day

 

[Giangsta]

is there any other way to get it up to 3.71 m33-2?

or any other way to play ISOS without the above mentioned tools

 

[myuusmeow]

No. Unless you have a PSP with like 2.50 and have the first version of GTA LCS or have the first version of Lumines.

EDIT: Nevermind. Just do the damn Pandora thing. It's easy.

 

[Giangsta]

unfortunately i dont have a spare battery. I'm gonna just bring it to a store and hav em do it for me

 

[rhyguy]

you can still use the pandora battery as a normal one by using a hack

sleep mode doesnt work well with it though

 

[Giangsta]

to be able to do the pandora thingy i need another PSP with CFW or a harmodded battery right?

 

[nruri]

that is correct,

you will also need a magic memory stick as martin88 pointed out (to flash that is >_

 

[ganons]

if u have the gta lcs with 2.0 update u can use that to downgrade to 1.50 then install cfw. Try renting it if u dont own a copy

IF you obtained an illegal copy of Tekken instead of ripping your own it may have the video files ripped from the iso to make it smaller. But of course you have the proper thing so no worries

 

[Giangsta]

actually, i do own the real copy of DR but i wanted to keep all the games on my MS for convenience, thats why i downloaded it.

Then just create the ISO of it on your own, use one of the UMD dumping tools around the place.

 

[myuusmeow]

No need for a tool. In the XMB press select. Where it says USB Mount (Or whatever) change it to UMD.

 

[Giangsta]

how do i create an ISO of a PSP game i already own?

Fair enough, I haven't been following the advances in the PSP scene. (Pretty obvious!)

this is an ok UMD dumper that I used back when I had a PSP.
If your memory card is too small, it will split the files for you.
If I recall, I had to rename the extensions from .000 .001 .002 etc. to .r00 .r01 .r02 etc. and use winRAR to extract the ISO inside.
