Psp Questions

I dont see why people are still downgrading / using 1.5 ... You want Dark Alex's 2.71 SE C Custom firmware!!!

For more PSP Info you might want ot try asking here -

http://forums.maxconsole.net/forumdisplay.php?f=80


Plus it isnt all crap for TA-082 owners you can still do this -

Your best bet is updating to 2.71 and using HEN-D and Devhook. You're on your own for finding the 2.71 update, but make absolutely sure that you do not update any further than 2.71 as there is no downgrader for anything newer.

both of the other files you need are available at http://www.dark-alex.org

you will want:

Devhook launcher port to 2.71 (now with support of 2.71 flash)

and

Homebrew enabler for 2.71 (Revision D)

Once you have HEN-D installed check out the devhook guide here for more information:

With that above method you should be able to boot devhook up and emulate 1.5 firmware

Regarding SE, my memstick is probably fake (I got it on ebay) but it works fine. Will it bugger up SE?

Should be fine I just used this installer -

Use that as long as your PSP isnt a TA-082 thing and make sure your running 1.5 and have a full battery...

Gives all the featuers of 2.71 plus the Homebrew capabilities of 1.5 and the ability to boot ISO's / CSO;s from game menu and the ability to load PRX Plugins from the memory card and the ability to play 2.81 UMDs etc etc

Plus if anything fooks up just hold R while booting to get in the recovery menu to repair your bricked PSP!!! (When I say bricked I mean bricked within reason... Not if you have completely wiped out the Flash and deleted the recovery tool from flash sort of bricking )

So I just let the installer put the stuff on memstick then click 2.71 firmware install?

Thats what I did... Then get this -

http://dax.lan.st/sec.rar

and put the contents of the "devhook271 flash fix" on your PSP and the Contents of "flasher for recovery" on your PSP.. (I put the recovery Folder in Both Game and the Root of the memory stick...)

What does that do, and do I need it? I've updated and it rules.

I just ordered one of those 1.52 PSPs from superufo, hopefully I get it soon. I'm always really worried about ordering stuff from Hong Kong. It always seems so sketchy. Hopefully it's exactly as advertised. I don't want to get a PSP I can't use for the good shit.

Devhook is for loading ISO's / CSO's that dont boot from the XMB (PSP Main Menu page) Eg Mortal Kombat requires Devhook to start it...

And the Recovery folder is to recover your PSP is you brick it..

Best to put them on anyway as they only take about 500kb of space


oh yea, Glad you like it Check out the Maxconsole forum for some Plugins for it

Make sure you get Dark Alex custom firmwares ONLY from the correct site Dark Alex's Official Site and check the files against known MD5 checksums. There are a lot of 'bricker' sites that imitate Dark Alex's webpage but the fakes all have software which will 100% brick your PSP.

EDIT: In fact some of the other sites mentioned on this thread seem to be fake bricker sites - so be extra careful.

I already upgraded and it's fine.

Good luck Ravnos, I hope it all goes smoothly for you ! Keep us up to date on your PSP quest.
