PSP Custom Firmware Thread

I have 5.00m33-3 right now, but is it possible to run 6.20 TN-B on top of that to test out the apps/performance? Software is not compatible between the two at all, right?

I've been agonizing over white or black for a week now. I bought a white but I might still exchange it. Fingerprints vs dirt accumulation. Bah I'll probably exchange it.

I bought a white one because the black one on PSP Slim 2000 was horrible. Fingerprint magnet. I actually like the white one with the sparkles.

Took me a little over an hour but damn I got this crap on and it was under $10 including shipping. I suggest ya'll get one. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/sony-psp-go-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

BTW does anyone's fry's have the PSP Cradle? Tried to look for one at mine since their website says its only $9.99 but i didn't see any.

No idea if its real sony brand, so no idea how well it works. Still in mail with some other pspgo accessories.

Okay, so I installed that HBL thingie on my 3000 and Go. What do I need to do next to rip games from my 3000 to my Go? If Konami don't want to give me Yu-Gi-Oh! on PSN, I'll do it myself, and shit, if Sony don't want to bring over the PSPgo steering wheel thingie, I'll import one from Japan and play Invizimals on my steering wheel.

Now when I'm in class, instead of listening to the teacher, I'll be playing children's trading card games. :D

Until the next PSP firmware update that is, cause I wanna play Pac-Man CE.

If this signed packages stuff comes to fruition then they'll be no need for CFW, the dev will sign their homebrew app using the official keys and you'll be able to run it off USB even on official firmware.

Yeah, I seriously doubt it's existence or fruition until I can actually see it myself.

Shrug, as a big of a dick Matthieul is, he's not really known for making shit up. If he says he has the keys, he probably does, and if he was so quick to find them then hopefully someone else will too within a reasonable timeframe.

Well it sounds way too good to be true, I won't waste my breath until I can install my PS3 and PSP games.

A lot of PS3 games already use the HD for caching, in which case installing them will most likely hurt the game's performance.

Damn you guys and your pictures. I have a PSP2000 running custom firmware, but god help me, I want a PSP Go.

I can buy one for $AU199 that comes with 10 free games.....arrgh. I don't need it.

I own a PSP 1000, 2000, and 3000. I do not need a PSPGo. I've coveted one but have held off as there was no way I was re-buying the 40+ games I have for the PSP (thank you Amazon Warehouse Deals and your ridiculously cheap "used" PSP games!).

And then I read this thread :).

I am now the proud owner of a shiny black PSPGo. I got it from Radio Shack as part of their $150 sale. Just as an FYI for anyone interested, it came with the 6.20 firmware.

I installed HEN 6.20, Prometheus ISO loader, and BOOM, playing my UMDs ripped to ISO on the GO. Very sweet.

I was thinking of get in on the Radio Shack deal. How does the 100 free music downloads work and where are they from? I'm hoping I'll be able to actually download 100 DRM-free songs.

Also, how long did it take you to get CFW on the Go?

So now that my 6.31 PSPgo can run ISOs, I can finally play KHBBS and a few other UMD only games. Problem is, I don't have a PSP that can currently rip UMD games. Can you rip UMDs using HBL/HEN on a 6.2 (or greater) UMD equipped PSP? Basically, what are my options? Or is it best to just sit back and see what happens now that the keys have been found?

Yeah if you need two PSPs: a 1000-3000 to rip a UMD and then a PSPgo to play the iso on...I don't see myself jumping back in.

But if you can somehow take your purchased UMD, a PC and a PSPgo and make the magic happen then I'll start hunting craigslist or whatever.

Man I wish this would have happened early last year!!

Uhhh, to be honest no one mentioned anything about free music downloads when I bought the PSP, so I don't know anything about that. I'll have to look into it.

It was easy as pie - I used the Easy 6.20 TN-B Installer, which installed in maybe 30 seconds. I then copied over the Prometheus ISO loader to the PSP/GAMES directory and I was done. All told, like 5 minutes of futzing around to get myself setup. Crazy easy!

Use Hellcat's recovery flasher to go to 5.00m33 and then you can upgrade to 5.50GEN or just use prometheus.

Ah easy, just install the newest Prometheus (4 I think?) and most of them will work.

Thanks for the response. The free music downloads deal is shown by the PSP Go on page 3 of this week's ad.

So wait? I just thought this was doing away with CFW, but it makes the Go able to run CFW (loading your UMD, PS1 games)?
Click to expand...

This is different - these are *just* temporary hacks to get ISO loaders and some homebrew running on the Go/3000. They are built around exploits of existing software.

Now that the PSP keys have been found, soon we may be able to sign our own homebrew and ISOs directly, eliminating any need for loaders or CFW.

Not necessarily. So far, the only person we know that has them is Mathieulh. We don't know if anyone else has found them yet. He won't release anything that he does with the keys.

Click to expand...

I think there's no exploit for 6.30, so you'd need to upgrade to 6.31 (or 6.35, but the lower the better if you're interested in future hacks).

I upgraded to 6.35 today as I don't care much for homebrew. It's nice to have a "backup plan" to run UMD's on my PSPgo should I ever buy one again, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

So for folks like myself who are currently running CFW on the PSP1001, was there anything released today that would allow me to be on the newest firmware and keep my homebrew apps?

so is anything going to be done with the psp private key? i read elsewhere that the guy who found it doesn't share his shit with the community, so has anyone else claimed to have found it? is anything interesting gonna be done with it besides allowing the psp-3000/go to run isos?
