Corrupted Files

[Safari Al]

I have a question about the corrupted files on my 1.50 psp. Is there anyway to hide them or something? Fo example, I have 2 NesterJ files one with % and one without it. The one without % is corrupted but needed to run the program. Is there anyway to hide it so that it doesn't show up on the psp but still works? Thnx (srry, i'm new to 1.50 FW):thumbup:

probably should update to 3.40 OE-A and go to the recovery and hide corrupted icons and 3.40 OE-A is so much better than 1.5

__SCE__[name of file] and %__SCE__[name of file] (for the %)

[parkermauney]

Does that really work?^^^

[Cloudhunter]

Indeed, it does. I used to use that naming convention before I upgraded to custom firmware :)

yea... I use it:thumbup:

Also about the custom firmwares. Is there anyway to go back to 1.50 once you are on one. I'm a liitle confused about them. Also, how does recovery mode work?

-Yes, just download 1.50 EBOOT.PBP (re-name it to UPDATE.PBP), create a RECOVERY dir in game, and put UPDATE.PBP in the RECOVERY dir. Access to the recovery menu and run the application.

-Work great for me, all you have to do is hold [R] when you turn it on...

Also thnx for the __SCE__ thing it worked:thumbup:

What are the chances of a brick on OE compared to 1.50

[Cloudhunter]

The chances are drastically reduced, as by using recovery mode you can recover from things that would kill your 1.50 PSP.

[steve520]

what do you mean by updating to the custom firmware because its very slim if you have everything in the right place

[parkermauney]

With a recovery, that makes it almost 100 times less likely to brick. I highly recomend it.


EDIT: Gah, two posts before mine even showed up. :D

[Safari Al]

Thnx i think i might try it!:thumbup:

[Safari Al]

I jus watched a video and the recovery mode looked alot like the downgrader i used for 3.03. Could it brick my psp like they said the downgrader could? I'm just a little scared that my psp will brick.

[steve520]

its really alright you really wont even want 1.5 back after you get 3.40 OE-A its has all the same features as 1.5 plus a bunch bunch more stuff but downgrading probably will be really safe but once u get to a custom firmware ur not going to want to go back trust me

[Safari Al]

I know this is a dumb question but, do all of the custom firmwares support all the homebrew that the 1.50 does? Also does anyone have a link to an installer for the 3.03 OE-A? Thnx I really just don't want to upgrade to it and have it brick or not run homebrew which took me a very long wait to get.
If you recomend 3.40 OE firmware over 3.03 OE then tell me. Also is it possible to brick the psp while upgrading to the custom firmware if you follow all the instructions exatly as they say?

Thnx for all your help

-Yes, since custom firmwares have 1.50 kernal + the original kernal

-Try this: 3.40 OE-A (http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:es-AR:official) or 3.40 OE-A (psp-news.dcemu.co.uk)

-You wont...

-I will tell you that 3.40 OE is much better than 3.03 OE

-there is a 0.02% of bricking if you follow the instruction (if you battery dead, if there is a fire in your house, atomic bomb...) and 25% of briking if you have a fake memory stick....

-You welcome

[Safari Al]

Thank you all very much factor remix steve520 and parkermauney. I'm going to go and try it now!!!

[Safari Al]

YAY!!! I did it and it worked!!!!! You all rock:thumbup:. Could you post some links to stuff that the custom firmware can do that 1.50 couldn't

[jason215]

Congratulations, like what do you want ?

[Safari Al]

I tried creating a GAME150 folder next to the regular GAME folder and put irshell150 and irshell150% in it and it still doesn't work. I think its because i'm placing the irshell folder in the wrong place. It says to put it in the mem stick, so i put it in MP_ROOT. Am i doing something wrong? I'm using IRshell 3.00

[parkermauney]

The root of the memstick is the begining of it. Where the PSP MP_ROOT PICTURE VIDEO MUSIC folders are. And don't double post.

[steve520]

im glad to here you have a custom firmware i hope you enjoy one of dark alex's finest piece of work

[Safari Al]

srry for the double post. I saw this matrix theme for irshell. does anyone have a link to it. Yeah i got it working!

[parkermauney]

Sry, I don't use IRShell that much. Next, you should try playing psx games! You're sure to find a tutorial somewhere.

Try here!

you can play ps1 games that you properly convert. If you already didn't know that.

[Safari Al]

Awesome thnx for the info! Also do you know of any other popular homebrew applications that i should install? thnx alot you all are awesome:thumbup:! Also does psx mean PS2 and PS1 or just PS1?

[parkermauney]

No, just ps1. The ps2 is a little more advanced than the psp.

[factor remix]

No, just ps1. The ps2 is a little more advanced than the psp.

yea..:rofl: the ps2 is a little more advanced than the ps3...:rofl:

[Safari Al]

ok thanx

[Safari Al]

what kinds of homebrew do you all use the most? Also do you have any links to xmb themes for 3.40 oe? Is it possible to go back to the default after installation of a new theme? Also can you convert 3.03 oe themes to work with 3.40 oe? thnx

[potatoman]

go to dl.qj.net, they should have tonnes. use the navbar on the side to find them, if u cant find them pm me and ill upload some 4 u.

[Safari Al]

are you able to go back to the default after the installation of the theme? Also is it safe to use the Easy Flasher 1.3 for 3.40 OE-A?

Maybe in a special program, but BACKUP YOUR FLASH0 AND FLASH1 BEFORE INSTALLING ANY THEME OR SOMETHING, ITS ILLEGAL TO ASK FOR FLASH0 OR FLASH1 FILES...

I dont know

[potatoman]

yes it is, look for psp set 0.9, that will do it for you.
i dunno about easy flasher tho, but psp set also does that kinda stuff, check it out.

[Safari Al]

hey i customized my xmb:thumbup:. Does anyone know where i can get a tutorial for making my own battery icon?
thnx
