Hacking Homebrew Okay, so I got the 2.6 FW PSP.

[War]

Okay, I think Im gonna go 3.52M33, then 3.52M33-4, then 3.80M33, and last, 3.80M33-5. Sound good?

Also, how do I install 3.52M33? It doesn't come with directions.

Pretty good to me

Yes, it comes

But the file is called README.EN

Here's how to install it:
QUOTE(3.52M33's Readme)PSP 3.52 M33 Installation

1 - If you are under official 1.50 PSP firmware, copy kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders from "1.50only/" of this download to your "ms0:/PSP/GAME/" and use it.
2 - Once done it, or if you are under any Special/Open Edition/M33, copy M33CREATOR folder to your "ms0:/PSP/GAME" (1.50fw) or "ms0:/PSP/GAME150" (SE/OE)
3 - Download official 3.52 eboot, rename it to 352.PBP and place it on "ms0:/PSP/GAME/M33CREATOR/" or "ms0:/PSP/GAME150/M33CREATOR/"

Hmm... I can't seem to get the kxploit things working. I tkeeps saying corrupted data. I just placed both folders into my GAMES section... so I dunno. Ill keep trying though. I can't upgrade unless I use those kxploit things, right?

Yeah, exactly. You would have to upgrade to another CFW that doesn't require that (like 2.71SE) and then go ahead upgrading.

Try to name them respectively:
kxploitpatcher% to %__SCE__Kxploitpatcher
kxploitpatcher to __SCE__Kxploitpatcher

Let's see if that works

 

[War]

Nope, it didn't. :\ I wonder why it's not working...

 

[rdurbin]

I remember i had this problem too when i was upgrading from 1.50. I had to mess with the file names (I think i just made both of them sorter, no spaces stuff like that). I remember one is suspose to have the % and one is not. Once you get to a high enough firmware you dont need 2 folders anymore for homebrew. At least your halfway-done

The upgrading of firmware to 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 is alot easier, they even use the official sony updater, but dont worry it actually installs CFW

 

[War]

Okay, I got the xploits fgrom somewhere else, and apparently installed 3.52M33... It said succesful and everything, but when I checked my system stats, it still says 1.5... is that supposed to be like that?

 

[Twiffles]

No it's not, also CFW+1.50 kernal add-on belongs in X:\PSP\GAME150\

 

[rdurbin]

no, it should say something like 3.52 m33-3 in the firmware screen. maybe there a second step to follow?

 

[War]

Hmm... I guess I could try again... Man this is hard.

 

[VVoltz]

With a custom firmware, everything is easy, check the official PSP thread for upgrading to the latest one. (3.90)

 

[War]

Okay... I got the xploit working again, but when I ran it, it said it wasn't the right firmware... perhaps it's already installed, and I need to reinstall 3.52M33...

 

[rdurbin]

yeah I spent like 5 hours, to go from 1.50 to 3.40, reseaching, downloading, installing. A major pain in the butt. You could just stick with 1.50 if all you need psp for is homebrew software. Most of the newer UMDs (games) wont run.

 

[VVoltz]

Set the "Working folder" to the highest on the Recovery Menu, then update.

you cant go straight to 3.90 from 1.50 unless using pandora....

Even then, you still have to update from 3.71M33 to 3.90M33.

Edit: Just watch this.

 

[rdurbin]

yeah, but on my mega memory stick it has both, its some ultimate package, that has alot of junk on it, most I havent even touched, but techicially your still right.

 

[War]

Woot, got it to 3.52M33!~ Now I think I just need to update it to -4, and then get the latest version. Yay!

So how do I update this? >__>

 

[Twiffles]

To what? 3.52M33-4 or something higher up?

 

[War]

-4, but I figured it out thanks to your vid, Twi
