new to psp little info please

hey,

i have just brought my self a psp and it has 1.5 firm which im told is good,

ive read alot on upgrading to play backups and iso's etc

but all im doing is getting confused

i know that i need upgrade to 3.3

could anyone break the process down for me please like a total idiots guild of how to upgrade and play the games.

thanks to anyone in advance who could help

you should upgrade to 3.40 OE-A witch is here

the download pack comes with a readme.txt file read it over about 4 times because 1 wrong move and it can brick your psp

eekk ok thanks very much

no prob :)
just make sure you read the readme file

The risk of bricking is actually very low if you read the instructions through thoroughly. A couple of times.

Good luck, dude, and welcome to the wonderful world of homebrew!

Also, to play most homebrew, you /must/ make a folder named "GAME150" in the PSP folder of yourn Memory Stick.

I just learned this out of major luck guessing.

In the recovery menu, you can choose which kernel version your homebrew stored in the GAME folder is executed under.

If you chose 3.40, you must make a folder called GAME150 for the homebrew that you want run as 1.5

In this case you will have GAME, and GAME150.


If you chose 1.5, you must make a folder called GAME340 for the homebrew that you want run as 3.40

In this case you will have GAME and GAME340.

Does that make sense?

think so, so when i upgrade to 3.40 i make a folder called game150 and put my iso's in there and then just click play??

Sounds like you havn't read the rules on this site. DCEmu doesnt support piracy but no doubt someone will tell you how to do it

well after you have dumped your umd into an iso you must make a folder called "iso" on the root of your memstick and put it in there

He may be talking about playstation 1 games.

You rip those using your CD ripping tool of choice, convert them using popstation, and then place the folder you get in the PSP/GAME340 folder. Or PSP/GAME, depending on the kernel version you have selected.

i was on about normal psp games,

when back up you get iso image

you have to do what i said for psp iso games
