I hope I am not alone, but since updrading to 3.90m33-2 FROM 3.71m33-3 I have had problems with my 8gb memory stick only when playing umd and backups and trying to save games... I can load save games okay and play but as soon as Im playing for like even a minute and go to save I get the black screen. and the psp shuts off..

All of my homebrew runs okay on my psp phat with the 1.5 kernal installed so I need some help.

Specifically does anyone have GTA, vice city stories and liberty city stories running okay when you save ... also the simpsons game which I have on umd does not save but freezes...


Thanks,

any help at all ... ive already tried to install the memory stick patch and it dosnt help ... now its almost every game ive played so far except for "shrek the third" which worked normally and saved and stuff ...

its unbelievable to fix it i already tryed to uncheck my psp 's folders in "my computer" and turn off "read only" but it turns itself back on .. like its not that,
and then i reformatted my memory stick and defaulted my psp totally - and only installed one game to try which was vice city stories - and played okay, using the m33 driver as my mode.

and then i went into the barracks and tryed to save with no go .
black screen and then no power so i needed to recopy everything i had back on to the memory stick and it didnt solve nothing but waste time.

im using a psp phat with 3.90 m33-2 installed with pop station enabled and some other plugins like mac spoofer,

and using a official sony 8gb memory stick. I tried to buy another new 8gb stick from futureshop already to try to see if my memory stick is a fake and it is not so im stumped.

I must of installed 3.90 wrong. I used the easy installer right here called "390M33_Universal_Installer_koutsou_v3.exe"

and everything else works perfectly like music, snes, nes, other emulators, pictures, internet browser..etc psp tube ... but I cannot save in any games even the one I own on umd .. gta liberty city stories and twisted metal.


Thanks for any help;

Hello Guys,
I just bought a new slim PSP with an original 3.9 firmware (actually they updated the firmware at the shop), but i want to install this new custom firmware by Dark_Alex, so i downloaded the file and followed the instructions, but still i get an error "the game could not be started. (80020148)", so pleaase can someone show me how to install this new custom firmware step by step, or just point me to a good article that explains this.
Thanks a lot.

You will need Pandoras Battery to downgrade your PSP to 1.5. That battery and a special memory stick will put your PSP into service mode, thus allowing files to be written to the flash from a memory stick which was impossible before. Try going to Craigs List in your area. There are always people in there who mod consoles, but beware their site moderators are pricks, hope this helps.

My PSP(fat) 3.90 M33 will not play MP3's or browse pictures. Homebrew is all good but a message saying you have no content keeps popping up. I used the fatsmod prx, re formatted the flash 0 and formatted the mem stick and still nothing. I mean I can still listen to stuff w/ IR Shell but you know. Anyone else having this problem?

I might be wrong, but you cannot downgrade slims to 1.50? (isnt that why Time machine is coming out?)
