I was wondering was there ever a solution to play vids on GEN firmware that actually works?
Mainly I was trying to play AVI, MP4 and MKV. I found a couple of programs but they failed. Hopefully someone can get me in the right direction seeing as I'll be doing some traveling and having some stuff to watch would be great.
Also is there a list of compatible Memory Sticks and other storage devices for the PSP so I know what to look for when I buy some later.
Thanks.

I just bought FFIX from the PS store. It seems to have problems running on the latest cfw though, No sound in the intro etc. I have pops laoder installed, And I assumed that as with other psone games I could hold in the R button on loading it and I would be able to change the pops version the game runs under. This doesn't seem to be the case with this game though, It loads straight into a warning screen and then the game loads. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to change the pops version with an official eboot?

Hate to leave the party but just a heads up, my Star Wars CFW is up on ebay.
Weird. Just tried to install 5.50 GEN-D3 on my PSP-1000, System settings claims 5.50 GEN D(full) is installed instead. Huh? Tried the Peace Walker demo, it loaded up the Warning Screen, and then gave a "This game could not be started" error. No plug-ins or anything else installed. No clue what the problem is.
Edit: Well turns out I didn't download the final version of D3 initially. Installed that now and it says 5.50 GEN-D3 in the System Settings. However, Peace Walker demo still doesn't work (same error). Again, no plug-ins or anything installed. Meh. Maybe I'll just try a downgrade to 5.00 M33-6 and see what my options are from there.

Does anyone know if MGS: Peace Walker runs with the 5.00 M33-6 firmware?
Today I changed the version.txt in flash to 6.20 and now GTA CW also runs on UMD.
You need the following plugin for this:

Otherwise I think I have to create an ISO and then decrypt it.

Downloaded a patched version of the Peace Walker demo and got it to work. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link but here are comments on how it was done:
"Well download the demo from the forum and use the np decrypter to convert it to iso then use the game decryptor 4 or eboot exchange 2.6 to patch it."

Well I read around and found the fix.
Rip eboot.bin with UMDGEN, decrypt it with prxdecrypter, patch it with EBOOT Patcher and then place it back with UMDGEN.
After that it worked. Apparently this works for all games that require up to 6.10 FW.

The JPN version of P3P works fine on any 5.xx CFW, it's already been tested out by people on the various CFW sites.
To pre-empt the next question, Valkyria Chronicles 2 (JPN) also works fine without need of any patching or hacking.
We can expect both to work fine with CFW when they are released worldwide. I for one intend to rip my UMDs of those games and put them on the Memory Stick because I know for certain P3P will be an 80+ hour playthrough and I am *NOT* going to accept playing with *grind* *grind* LOADING *grind* *grind* BATTERY LOW for those 80+ hours.

Subete no aware
I'm going to buy copy of MGS Peace Walker and of course I haven't been following this thread for about half a year. Will it work with CFW or is it borked with new games?
I'm almost considering buying a new PSP just to play new titles. :lol
Edit: Ah, it looks like there's some thing that someone came up with for the Kingdom Hearts game?

has anyone had a problem with savegames corrupting between CFW updates? My 10 hours of FFT have been lost since I went to the GEN firmware.. 
I've read that this is part of the sony attempts at discouraging custom firmware use? Anyone know any ways to fix it?
I saw something about some plugins that can fix the corruption but I can NEVER get plugins to work. I add the 3 files to seplugins, add the text strings, and they never show up. I don't understand what I do wrong. I've tried some plugins in the past but it's always been a frustrating experience that goes nowhere.
Maybe I should just get another newer PSP for official stuff and keep the 1001 for CFW.

I had the same issue, but the fix involved me doing a simple flash update. I backed up the original file stored on the flash in case I wanted to revert the change (peagasus.prx)
Anyway I think it's more to do with the bugs in the GEN firmware. FFT worked fine on 5.50 GEN-D2, it all went bad on 5.50-D3 :/

Why not just play Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, the enhanced PSP remake version?
I bought Harvest Moon Hero fo Leaf valley on umd for my wife. The load times are almost making her stop playing. She has a psp 1000. How much can I reduce the load times if I go through the trouble of ripping the game and adding cfw?
Long a go I had cfw for emulator games and such, but as I understand the newer OFW doesn't let you add cfw as easely as before.

Hey guys, maybe someone could answer as I just want to double check.
I have a PSP-2000, an early one that could be hacked before, I did it once with the chicken picture thing, but I've upgraded my firmware, and apparently I can hack it with a pandora battery, but I don't want to buy one, is there something like the chicken thing I can use at the moment?

M33_620 PRX Plugin by Torky (BETA)
Dunno if I can post the link to it, but a new Plug in that allows most new games to be run
Code:
The coder Torky has today released a plugin which enables it to you, the games to date, only one original firmware as of 6:20 were run, to play on a custom firmware. The plugin is yet in its infancy and therefore must be tested.
But according to various posts here prove Forum, it was confirmed that this plugin works with many new games. According to the developer, plugin also works well on the still ever-popular Firmware 5.00 M33-6, Custom Firmware Dark_Alex CreatorDunno if I can post the link to it, but a new Plug in that allows most new games to be run

I'm guessing 6.XX POPS is still a no go?
I've heard conflicting stories about how decrypted iso crashes after the coconut part in the tutorial (?) while some say it works fine. Downgrading to D2 seem to solve that problem but I dunno manTheSeks said:

man I don't even plan on buying MGS Peace Walker on the first week, I'll wait for someone to figure out how to make it work before I even bother.
I don't want to be one of those sweating to play the game on release and debating whether or not I should update or just wait it out.

I got my Peace Walker yesterday evening. I ripped it and tried to play it, after the first 2 cutscenes it'll freeze if you have data installed from the UMD. If playing from the UMD it freezes a bit later on in the game after a certain mission. The ISO on the memory card with no install data doesn't seem to freeze thus far but I don't get any voice overs when codecs are playing eg: Miller during the tutorial

Run into a bit of an issue today with my PSP...
So I flashed my PSP with GEN-D3 a few weeks ago and its been great. However, today I was an idiot and dropped by PSP on some concrete. Since then when I turn it on I get the Sony logo, but the XMB won't fully load. It just gives me the background and the buttons don't do anything
I loaded up the recovery menu and tried to load up the PSP/Game/Recovery/EBoot which seemed to work somewhat. I was able to get to the XMB and my buttons worked again. When I try to load a game (from memory stick), it hangs and never loads up.
So I decided to re-flash this thing using Hellcats Recovery flasher. I sucessfully re-flashed GEN-D3 but I still have the same exact problem.
Am I screwed?
I really hope not. I've gotten more use out of this thing in the past 3 weeks than in the past 3 years. CFW is awesome.

What good is the loader if he is... unable to load the XMB?
Sounds like you're screwed dude. If you're under warranty, call Sony. They replaced my CFW 1001 with another 1001 (which was a bitch to CFW again, thank god for Pandora Battery coming out at the time) with no issue after the UMD drive died on it (and I was worried they wouldn't). If they give you a hassle, no big deal. Don't pay for it, at least you know it's totally broke then and have to go search for a new PSP to CFW. :/

Nope.
Yeah I tried that too. No luck
This sucks. First time I ever dropped it too.
Given that most of the tech-savvy PSP users are in this thread, I need some assistance with my PSP.
A month or so ago, I turned on my PSP to dump even more hours in my 90+ hour Dissidia save file and I noted a kind of grayish, 3 centimeter band/line coming from the top and bottom of the screen with some minor discoloration. I was quite perplexed when considering I didn't drop it and it was working fine only days prior. I just chalked it up as a freak accident that might fix itself, and didn't use it for an entire month. Naturally, I tried it out yesterday to play the Peace Walker demo.
And lo and behold, what was once a small gray line is now a massive, fuzzy gray line on the right-hand side of the screen that pretty much blocks anything on that end. The problem got progressively worse yesterday alone, as now there is just a solid gray bar taking up about 1/5th of the entire PSP screen on the right-hand side. Given how I don't have a very good camera to work with, I tried to take some cell-phone pictures of my psp in this stage.
I tried using RemoteJoyLite as a temporary substitute until I can get more info on what is wrong exactly and it works to a certain extent: RemoteJoyLite with my GEN-D3 works well enough for games on the Mem Stick only. For anything on the UMD, RemoteJoy crashes immediately even after trying out all of the UMD settings and mhz settings in the recovery menu. For the moment, I'm... totally out of options and online searches have oddly come up rather short. Is any one a bad enough dude to diagnose my PSP?

is the peace walker demo not compatible with 6.20 prx? dissidia works now(wasnt able to run it in m33 before).
So...after updating from 5.00 M33-6 to 5.50 GEN-D3, all of sudden some of my games are reporting their save data is "corrupted."
Same thing happened for another game when I updated from some 3.X M33 to 5.00 M33-6 last year.
...why?
EDIT: found a fix

This happened to me a few months ago. Screen's dying. I ordered a replacement from eBay for about $60 (supposedly a Sharp original screen, or some shit), followed an online tutorial, and after a bit of technical surgery, had the PSP up and running again without TOO many issues. Make sure you get a replacement screen for exactly your generation of PSP. For me, it was a PSP 2000.
I've been away from the scene for awhile, I have a question.
I'm running 5.00 m33-6 I think, can I play any of the recently released games on this? ripped or UMD? I've done some browsing, but can't seem to find the answer. It's probably somewhere I've missed, sorry for the trouble, but if oyu guys could help me out, I'd be grateful!
