Help getting started with 3.71m33-2 with 1.50 and psp-290

Hi i've been reading through the forums and i think my head is going to explode!!:eek: lol... anyway... my current cfw is 3.71m33-2 w/1.50.. I now have the psp-290 gps receiver and need some advice on how to install it!

1. should i downgrade back to 3.52m33-4 because it seems people are struggling with 3.71m33-2.
2. if 3.71m33-2 is ok then can someone link me to a good detailed install and files needed.
3. if 3.52m33-4 is recomended can someone link that install info with files needed for me.

thanks for any help that can be provided, i want to get my facts straight before i attempt to install!!

ok i had no problem installing mapthis 0.5 into my GAME371 folder ... then i got the usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx from 3.52update (because they are the latest i could find and when i tried extracting them from my 3.71 on my psp these files were not there) i placed the 2 .prx files in the MAPVIEWER fold and now when i load up mapthis it comes up with an error saying "could not load usbacc.prx gps will be disabled" do i need different .prx files or did i do something wrong? please help!

did you extract them unencrypted?
well if nothing else helps - get prx-less version that Nieko compiled in the dev thread.

Mapthis! v0.5

I've tried on the mapviewer v03, MapThis 0499 beta and 3.30 oe-a prx on my psp slim 3.60 M33 and PSP-290 and i've got the problem as mentioned "-Loading USB Accessory Module... error". After reading this post i decide to delete everything and try out with MapThis v0.5 and follow the wiki book and i noticed that mapthis v0.5 only have "mapviewer" instead of "mapviewer and mapviewer%". I'm getting confused. Can anyone give links to a complete noob guide? Do i need to set the kernel to 1.5? If needed, how do i set it? I cant see it when i get into the recovery menu... Been 2 days since i've been trying to get it up X_X
Sorry for being one of those who keep repeating the same question =X

mapviewer and mapviewer%
de mapviewer with the % is a 1.50 exploit
you only use the mapviewer without the % when u on a higer fw then 1.50

and al youre questions are in older topics also
put the kernel on 3.60 and mapviewer in de GAME360 map

I tried the method putting it to Game360 and all and i encountered "Loading USB accessory module...." It just hangs for like 10 secs after which it auto switches off. As for kernel, where do i set it? I dont see a setting where i can set it... I also noticed something strange when i tried to extract my own .prx files. It seems that i dont have the "kn" folder. Theres only "dic,font,pump_usb and vsh" folders. Is there anything wrong with my firmware?

You could try not cross-posting.

Other than that, take a look at PDG's signature, first question.

i've tried all the solutions i've found but to no avail. The updating of firmware to 3.71 M33-2 solved my problem.
i suppose its due to the missing of kernel in 3.60 m33. Thanks for helping =)
