Lol, possibly. Problem though: Isn't updating LBP done from the XMB and part of the firmware? Something that the current CFW doesn't support?
Click to expand...

It is. I updated to 6.20 OFW, downloaded the patch and then reverted back to 5.50 GEN.
I don't know if the UMD rip uses it as it may be only aware of the patch with 6 series FWs.

I can upload it if somebody wants it.

Edit:
Make a folder in PSP/GAME called UCES01264 (PAL UMD) and drop the file in it.

Hey wait, would that mean its possible to get the new 6.10 popsloader prx stuff that newer PSN PS1 stuff like FF8 require? Have all my christmas CFW desires come true? If so could some try and grab those 6.xx prx's and let me know before I bite the bullet on FF8 PSN?

Uh... no, sadly. POPSLoader itself needs to be updated to take advantage of the new prxes (emulator files). Any versions of POPS that's currently unsupported by POPSLoader remain unsupported by POPSLoader.

Edit - I'm actually kind of surprised that Team Gen haven't updated POPSLoader. They released their own version of the plugin for 5.50 Gen-A (and above), but it didn't exactly add any new functionality when compared to Dark-Alex's last release. Now would be a great time to update their version to utilize 6.0+ POPS files!

That's awesome, I wish someone would do this with the NA UMD, but yeah I just need the update.

... But a quesiton for you though, when you updated to 6.20 and then went back to 5.50 GEN, how exactly did you do this? Did you do it with just one memory stick and battery?

So far Gen D3 has corrupted my saves for the following UMDs:

Blah same here, tried to load up my Jeanne D'Arc UMD save that I haven't touched in about 5 months, and it said it was corrupted. I don't have the slightest clue what CFW I was using five months ago on UMD.

Did anyone figure out a way to "fix" it working? Not a big deal, but it's a bummer since I'm on vacation and wanted to finish this game since I'm on the final chapter.

Can we use SenseMe app with CFW or is it PSPgo/FW6.xx exclusive??
Click to expand...

It's not in CFW right now. You'll have to wait for Gen to put it in. They did say they were working on putting it in 5.50 last time. Most likely you won't see this feature since Gen can't even get a CFW 6.xx out.

However, here's something new.
A new homebrew that might possibly make extracting your own POPSLoader prx files much, much easier.

Again, not tested by me, since for the moment, I don't need it (I manually extracted the prxes myself ages ago).

PSNabler v5 doesn't work for me. I'm on 5.50 GEN-D2. Every time I try anything using the network connection (web browser, RSS anything) it hard locks and reboots the machine.

Is this a known issue with D2? Is it definitely working on D3?

They can, but they feel it's pointless since the jump from the 5.x kernel to the 6.x kernel is so dramatic that it basically breaks all homebrew. That's why they're working on backporting the 6.x features into 5.50 Gen... eventually.

I have confirmed personally that at least in the case of LittleBigPlanet, PSNabler does not work if you are using a WPA network. It will work on WEP or unencrypted. Lame.

This thread is huge. Does remote play work with the latest cfw?
Click to expand...

Remote play only works for directly connecting to a PS3. Doing it over PSN won't work because you cannot connect to PSN with any CFW.

Datel has made its name hacking consoles and games. The PSP homebrew community has grown wary of the company, what with the Lite Blue Tool debacle and everything, but it looks like they've gone and done something that homebrew devs so far haven't been able to: crack the PSP's encryption process. Their new Action Replay software seems to point to it.



Homebrew developer Wololo explains what this means to the community better than I can, so here's an excerpt from his recent blog post on the subject:



Action Replay gets installed in the “UPDATE” subfolder of GAME, which is usually reserved for official Sony updates. It therefore means that Datel has figured out how to encrypt/sign EBOOTS, but needs their product to be in the UPDATE folder for some reason (easier to encrypt? Use of some specific access granted to this folder?)



Now, this is not very useful for hackers (and even less for pirates, ha). Yet another encrypted EBOOT to analyze will not bring anything. However, Action Replay allows users to patch memory with codes, so maybe something can be crafted in order to inject unsigned code in the PSP through Action Replay, which could unlock (at least) user mode (and therefore homebrews).

Looks promising & could open way at some point to CFW on PSP-2000v3 & upwards with greater than 5.03FW.

Just got back to the psp playing, last firmware was running Dark Alex's.

Ive upgraded to his last version, then to 5.50 Gen-A, Then Gen B- Then Gen-B2.

I cannot upgrade to Gen-D3, the screen keeps going black when selecting from the XMB. Ive downgraded back to 5.00m33-6 and tried a straight up upgrade, same, now im back to Gen-B2.

What am i doing wrong? Got an original first released phat psp.

Strange, it's not a quick update/hotfix so it should work. Of course, you have 550.pbp in the root of your stick?

Bummer, I just remembered CFW does not yet work on PSP3001. Just got a new, beautiful one for Xmas. At least I have my fat for the time being. I'll have to wait it out! The Dpad is significantly better on the 3001, wow.

Can someone help me out real quick? I'm on GEN-B, what is the exact upgrade path to D3? I'm assuming I can't just go straight to D3 without some steps in between.

EDIT: n/m, think I have it sussed.

Sorted the issue with the black screen when upgrading.

Tried another memory stick, worked like a charm.

Same here.

I went from GEN-B -> GEN-B2 -> GEN-D3.

On the D3 step, I had to switch from my 4GB stick to my 2GB stick for the updater to load. I was getting the black screen when the updater ran.

Is there an issue with the PSN store downloadable version of half minute hero when you have cfw? The demo had zero slowdown, but on the full version there's slowdown everytime I re-enter the game from a town or a battle.

Is it still solitare/play-with-yourself mode? I know they added some (bad, last I checked) AI in later releases (I did the initial beta just to check it out) but it can't really hold a candle to Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers so far.
Click to expand...
Yep, there actually used to be a 2-player hotseat mode but they took it out for some reason, so for now it's single player only (although I remember the developers mentioning on their forums that they plan on adding wireless MP eventually). Obviously the AI cant compare to an official release like DotP but it's functional enough to make Wagic an excellent tool for building and testing out decks.

I was going to ask you if you reverted to original theme and disabled all plugins first. Always do that. Changing the stick would in effect disable plugins if you had none saved on that stick.

D3 ran fine for me on my CR5400 adapter with two 8GB microsds. After of course disabling all plugins and custom theme.

I haven't kept up, but I think you can go to 5.00 M33 and then go to 5.50 GEN-D3?
Or maybe you can even just go to 5.50 GEN-D3 directly now?

When I screwed up last time, I went from 3.71 to 5 to 5.50.

If the fat PSP is on 4.05 like you said just update it to 5.03 and use Chickhen to run the xgenupdater and go straight to Gen firmware. This will ONLY work on your fat.

I think you can go directly.

I'm not sure though, so it would be wiser to go to 5.00 M33-X first and then upgrade to 5.50 GEN-D4.
