Can someone tell me if Vagrant story from psn works with CFW GEN D-3 ?
Thx a lot
Thx a lot
Maybe someone can help me, because google has failed me.
Running 5.50 GEN-D3 currently, though I had the same issue with M33- occasionally when taking a screenshot (using cwcheat) it freezes my PSP. This didn't happen, I used to be able to rapidfire screenshot (well- almost, it does pause the screen while taking a shot) but now even just taking a screenshot is a huge risk, because if it freezes the only way to get my PSP to turn off is to pop out the battery. It really just completely locks up.
Is this an issue with cwcheat? With something else perhaps? I tried using screenshotbmp.prx but it gives me the same problem. The weird part is that I can't figure out when it'll do it- since it can take shots from UMD games and homebrew equally well, and is just as equally likely to freeze up.
My best guess is that it tries accessing the memory at the same time as the game/homebrew? But I wonder why this wasn't an issue from the beginning.

Just started using my PSP again. I've always used custom firmwares since 1.5 and up. I'm not at 5.50 Gen-D3, however I got some problems!
When I try to launch the demo of Soul Calibur Broken Destiny I get this error: 80020148. I've done a few searches on google but I haven't been able to fix the problem When I try FF; Dissadia demo or Holy Invasion of Privacy, Batman! I get 80010087.

I can't really give a solution, but I've had the same problem with taking screenshots, and it appears to happen when the memory card is either being accessed. When it freezes, the access light just keeps blinking, although it will shut off if I hold down the power switch long enough. I used to use IRShell for screens but that was (last time I checked) incompatible with GEN, so I switched to something else.

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I thought it was the most active PSP thread. Anyway, I am thinking about buying another PSP. I already have a 2000 think its great. I won't be putting any CFW on this second PSP. I know a place that may still have the 2000 series. Should I get another 2000 series or get the 3000?

Thanks for the response. I ended up reinstalling screenshotbmp.prx and trying it again, but disabling cwcheat entirely from the recovery plugins options- and it seems to work. I haven't gotten a freeze yet, though screenshots take nearly 5x as long as they did with just cwcheat, I can actually give in to my need to take caps constantly as I play. In retrospect it may be because I had cwcheat's screenshot key as the same one screenshotbmp.prx is set to- I'm not sure why this didn't occur to me before.

How bad are the scanlines? I know the original reviews on the 3000 complained about that.
This has probably been answered before but I have never really been in the position to have paid attention to the answer (and I can't find the post). I have a PSP-2000 on one of the more recent firmwares (D2 pretty sure) and I recently bought a PS3. Now the DJ Max Fever game is on PSN for PSP today and I'd like to buy it.
So... can I do this? Does it work just like buying a PS1 game to the PS3 and copying it to my PS3? Will the game still play on my PSP once I copy it over? Thanks.

Pretty sure you can just buy it with a PS3 or PC (Media Go app) and copy it over to your PSP without issue. Both methods of transferring to a PSP are "official" and copy over the necessary license information to get around the DRM.
Of course, once that's done, you can always use NPDecryptor to use the license information to STRIP the game of its DRM.

NPDecryptor doesn't work on PSOne Classics. It's only good for PSP games and demos downloaded from PSN. Possibly the Minis as well, not sure on that count, as I've yet to buy one.
The saddest fact of NPDecryptor is that it strips the DRM from the game, allowing anyone to upload and pirate it.
The happiest fact of NPDecryptor is that it turns the DRM-filled PSP eboots into clean ISOs, which means you aren't limited to the silly names/folders that the clean downloads are normally locked to. I like to custom-categorize my PSP games, and keeping the DRM versions cramps my style.

Well I bought this DJ Max and put it on the PSP and when I try to load it it boots to the warning screen then kicks back out to the XMB and says "The game could not be started (80020148)." I've tried it with all three -NO UMD- modes in the recovery menu as a few Google hits seem to suggest. Any ideas?

I just hope there's something new soon, I'd love to use emulators on my PSP Go if nothing else!
I had to whip up this GIF really quick because it's exactly what popped into my head when you said "Watch this" and you didn't post a link, heh Funny thing is, I opened up my rip of this movie and clicked on the seek bar at the EXACT right spot for this scene. I've watched Empire too many times

I heard the best version to use is 3.71. I'm currently testing it right now because on 4.01 I had random freezes.B.K. said:
I haven't had a homebrew PSP since I sold my launch 1000 on craigslist. I have since replaced it with the Japanese Crisis Core PSP and the Dissidia PSP. I believe the Crisis Core one is a 2000 while the Dissidia one is a 3000. Does anyone know if either is moddable? I tried reading the homebrew websites but I'm pretty lost... The process to mod the system does not seem as simple as it used to be with the 1000.

BBS seems to be the only game with this problem. Everything else runs on Gen-D3.

Interesting, so you have to have BOTH a rip of the game and a UMD to run. While I want to run everything on the memory stick, at least there's a workaround!

I have a question from a friend of mine. Can the God of War PSP be hacked to run Custom Firmware?
Edit: Nevermind I googled the answer. Sorry for the laziness GAF.

Hey guys where's the best (and cheapest) place to buy the photofast adaptor? I was planning to grab one from dealextreme.com but some customers claimed that it's not genuine. I'm from Australia BTW so no Amazon for me...
EDIT: I meant import.

Btw, I see that Valkyria 2 already has a cracked release, so yeah CFW "lives on" for now as long as you're not a Kingdom Hearts fan. It'll be interesting to see if BbS gets cracked eventually, or if the security it uses will expand to all games in the future. One interesting thing to note is that games with PSN releases seem to get cracked and released pretty fast, possibly because if you have the activation DRM license on a downloaded purchase you can decrypt it pretty easily?

Even recent demos like Lunar and Sony's own Minna No Tennis run fine on CFW. It's Kingdom Hearts and only Kingdom Hearts that will not work right now.
Next week I'm going to get Tenchu Kurenai. Watch that not work either.
Hey, it's time for my third annual "dust off my PSP, update its firmware" session. I'm on 5.00-M33, and trying to run Network Update, but it's giving me the error "Connection to the server failed. A DNS error has occurred (80410414)" Looks like dark-alex.org is currently down, is this the URL that hosts the updates?

Is there a patented Square-Enix anti-piracy method that everyone else doesn't know about?
IIRC, a Final Fantasy spin-off on either DS or GBA let you play up to a point before saying "hey, pirate, buy the game!" or something like that. They seem to do this sort of thing every so often.
I just find it interesting that if other companies were so serious about piracy, why don't they use similar techniques to SE?
Square is pretty good at coming up with piracy protection. Most of their DS games (FFIV, DQIV, DQV, CC, CT come to mind) have a form of protection where they disable important triggers so you can't progress in the game if it detects you're playing on a flash cart. It's not surprising that they'd come up with a similar method for the PSP - just surprising that it's taken this long to get through. Most of the DS stuff had patches within days.

because if square shared it one of these companies will do it wrong and we'll have an exploit (just guessing)I NEED SCISSORS said:
decon said:Can I hack the PSP-300x? My friend wants a PSP and he's seen my emulators, wants them too, but I'm not sure weather or not the PSP-300x can be hacked. I'm getting mixed messages when I search the internet
I think the firmware for 3000 needs to be 5.03 or else you can't use CFW. The CFW for psp 3000 isn't permanent either. Once you turn it off, you have to reload it or something.
It'd still require updating the firmware away from CFW, wouldn't it? Or is there a way you can bypass the version check on OFW?DiGi-C said:
Since I'm stuck with the 88v3 board and the temporary firmwares associated with that, I'm considering picking up a second-hand fully-CFWable PSP and just keeping this one on OFW.
