Hi guys,

I just had a PSP as a present. I've heard that there are some options when you first start your PSP, basically if you say YES to SUCH then you'll never be able to upgrade/downgrade firmware so you can't play download games anymore?

Is it TRUE? If so what do i need to do?

Please help, i'm not really good at the games thing.

Also which firmware version is everyone using? Anylink to download? Instructions?

These are the THREADS that i've gone through...

Beer Baron thread

Chris thread

John thread

Nghiagero thread

Latin33 thread

Thanks

Forgot to say,

I've downloaded Wangan Midnight from Torrent, can i play it with the 2.0 firmware that came with the package?

Just try it and see really.

What you really want is to downgrade the PSP back to v1.5 as that is the version which allows you to do anything and also allows you to run the latest firmware as a shell. So basically you can have all the latest version firmware goodies (eg PS3 linkage) but also all the homebrew (eg SNES emulation) stuff.

This downgrade can be done through a method call 'Pandora's battery' which you should Google for some more info.

Here is a forum you may find handy:

upgrade it to 3.71 -2 with the 1.50 kernel add on and ur PSP will play anything on the mem stick without the need for any UMD. Works great with homebrew and PSX games. Plus has a whole bunch of options also.

Use the link Wink posted and follow the instructions VERY CAREFULLY!

I know someone, but your looking at about $70.

PM me if your keen.

Is that with the latest Hack version? The pandora whatever it was?

So i can play games off the memory stick and original games? Watch movies off the memory stick and original movies without any issue?

Also somebody at the Carrabean Garden Market does the down-grade thing for $70 as well, i wasn't sure which downgrade it is.

Thanks

yes its the latest, 3.71 -2 with the 1.50 kernel, mate got it done last week, Sony 4gb mem stick; Fifa 08, MGS:PO, Sega Rally, etc all work flawlessly.

Then just d/l yourself 3GP Converter so u can convert your .avi movies into PSP format to play off the mem stick.

You have PM,

Just last question, can play Jap games?

there is no region lock for psp games or movies.

downgrading is a piss...just follow the guides on the forums and u wont go wrong. I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics UMD on PSP with the latest firmware that allows me to play copied games as well.

i successfully loaded pandoras magic stick on my spare 1 gig memstick & can turn my battery (phat psp) into pandoras battery.

I upgraded 2 psp slims so far to 3.71 m33-2 ;) i maybe able to unbrick psp's as well ( havent tried but the site i got the hack from states i could.

if ur in sydney i can do it for you would only take 3 mins of ur time. Wouldnt mind a slab or 2 for cracking ur psp or u can just kiss me lolz

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs
