[trebor8273]

Just got myself a white psp, i wanting to play ps1 games and was woundering what i need too do?

The firmware version is 3.03- i heard about downgrading- but dont know how to do this and also worried abot bricking my psp.

[weirdelf]

You need an unpatched version of GTA:LCS to be able to downgrade. Do you have one? If it has the 2.00 update on it then it is unpatched. If it has the 2.60 update on it then it won't work.

[splodger15]

Do not update any furthor stay at 3.03. And check to see if you have a unpatched version of GTA:LCS

[trebor8273]

Thanks for the help will have to look out for a unpatched version of GTA LCS, what are the chance that my psp will be bricked and if it is there any way to fix it?

I've have never known a Brick when its done properly.

If you do make a idiotic mistake and you brick, you will need to fit a new mobo or modchip.

yeah i was a lil nervous at first too but it'll be fine as long as you read and follow the readme anyways you should look for a used version of GTA if anything or if you are lucky blockbuster has a copy of it (my old one did)

i have a the stuff i need but when i get to the point where it loads the game- screen should change colour and reset itself- put it keeps going to the game- what have i done wrong or do i just need to keep loading GTA LCS till it works?

Your PSP Shouldn't brick as long as you don't mess around with it. You could also buy a preowned Game from various stores such as GAME but by the sounds of it you now have the game

got it work, how do i play ps1 games now?

[h4s30]

you gotta upgrade to Dark Alex's custom firmware 3.03 oe it should come with the instructions and the things you need when you get it but you need winrar lol

[trebor8273]

got it working and running psx games but if i try to run any emulators i get this error game could not be started (800200d9)? anyone know what it means?

[pspfreefiles]

Yes you have got to upgrade to dark alexs firmware
but I have a question what is the difference between oe-a, oe-b and oe-c

[Prasoc]

when turning on the psp, hold R shoulder button. When in "recovery mode" scroll down to configuration and press "Game folder Homebrew (Currently: 3.03 Kernel)" it will then change to "(Currently 1.50 Kernel)" this will allow you to play homebrew.

OE-A/OE-B/OE-C are different versions of Dark_Alex's custom firmware. Currently, 3.10 OE-A is the newest firmware, followed by 3.03 OE-C, 3.03 OE-B, etc. I would recommend upgrading to 3.10 OE-A because it's better than 3.03 OE-C, although 3.03 OE-C is better for customization. 3.10 OE-A pack made by ExcruciationX: http://files.filefront.com//;6691639;;/
