    psp MMSX: The Latest MMS for CFW Installation

    Please post a negative or positive if you use the MMSX to install CFW. There is a very small percentage of users that report problems. I would like to know exactly what this percentage is. The MMSX Root files have been downloaded 1736 times as of this edit and only a handfull of people have reported problems. I need you to post if it worked or not, if you cant atleast post a simple 'it worked' or 'it didnt work' then I would prefer if you looked elsewhere for a Magic Memory Stick. This mainly goes for all you 'guests' that dont even make an account...




    The MMSX is a universal "unbricker" class MMS (Magic Memory
    Stick) that (when combined with a Pandora Class Battery), will install
    CFW (Custom Firmware) 4.01 M33-2 onto any PSP, phat or slim.
    When using the MMSX it does not matter what firmware, custom or
    official, your PSP is currently running. There is no need to
    downgrade. If you have firmware 3.52 or higher, you must have a
    Pandora’s Class Battery. If your PSP's firmware is lower than 3.52
    there are other ways to install CFW, but that will not be discussed in
    this guide and the use of a MMSX is still highly recommended. The
    MMSX uses DC7, which allows one to regenerate the ID Storage on
    your PSP. This means that if the ID Storage on your PSP is
    completely wiped out or is corrupted that you will be able to fully
    restore it. The MMSX does not just install CFW 4.01 M33-2; it comes
    loaded with additional features

    Note: This guide does not apply to the new PSP's that use a TA-088 v3 motherboard.
    They can not be hacked, yet...

    To install CFW 4.01 M33-2 using a MMSX you will need a few things.
    1. A Pandora Class Battery
    2. A real Memory Stick
    3. A computer
    4. A USB cable or a card reader/writer
    5. And, the files in the links below...



    Download here:
    The MMSX Guide.pdf (228.35KB)
    PC Applications for the MMSX (25.6MB)
    Root Files for a Phat PSP (135.2MB)
    Root Files for a Slim PSP (110MB)

    Heres 8 smokin' hot wallpapers of Misa Campo. Their also included in the MMSX.
    Misa Campo Wallpapers



    Karathacker's Theme Pack wont be pre-loaded in the MMSX, if so the
    MMSX itself would be a HUGE download, sorry. But you can get it here:
    [Release] Theme Pack v2 For 4.01M33 By Karothacker


    If you have any question please read The MMSX Guide or post them here. Also, if anyone finds any errors please let me know so I can fix them pronto...

    Thank you.. To everybody who helped me get this far... And, to those who played a part in the making of the MMSX.....

    If your having the "green light/black screen" problem try switching memory stick brands. A member here said that two Sony memory sticks gave him probs, but a SanDisk worked perfect the first time...

    :thumb: Please post something if you use the MMSX...

    Though I did find a strange happening. I didn't see the 1.50 Kernel add-on when I opened the options on the mmsx. But it seems to work fine so far (I skipped that step without any problems). Thanks for the guide.
    The reason he didnt see the 1.50 kernel addon is because he is using a SLIM, the addon is only for PHATS...

    edit: Sorry for troubling you, i figured it out. In case anyone else has this problem here what i did. In windows Vista its ********, i had to right click it and go into properties, and change the computability to run in windows XP service pack, save it. then run in administrator mode and click inject IPL then it worked.

    The MMSX comes LOADED with extras. Lots of plugins and applications are available directly after installation of CFW...

    All the Additional software/apps/plugins are listed in The MMSX Guide...

    Ok, what kind of PSP do you have?
    What firmware was on it when you bought it?
    Is you memory stick real or fake?
    What size is you memory stick?
    Did you inject the IPL Loader?
    Did you use the correct files: slim/phat?
    With no memory stick inserted what happens when you insert the Tool battery, does the PSP turn on automatically?
    Did you have the charger hooked up when you tried the installation?


    Sorry there are so many questions but unfortunately the most common problem during CFW installation is user error...

    ok...

    One cat in another forum said for his pandora battery to work he had to put the p-bat in, plug in the charger, and flip the switch while holding X (you should hold X for several seconds, atleast 5).

    The only other two things I can think of is if you didnt copy the files right or you have one of the anomalies. Some peeps say they had to try like 20 times before the MMS kicked in, idk why but thats what they said.

    btw, how many folders and files are in the root of your MMSX.

    must the battery be fully charged or is that a safety precaution so it doesnt turn off during the process
