How do I know if the firmware worked? I loaded the Minna demo with the save and m PSP Go just crashes. Is it installed or did I do something wrong? I have FW 6.31

Yes. You should be able to boot anything you've bought from PSN directly from the system while you're not in HEN. Not sure if you can do it from HEN, but I would assume you could.jling84 said:

I am positive I downloaded the 6.31. I also renamed the EBOOT.PBP file to 6.31.

Doesn't Oath require 6.20 or is that moot with this method?Quixzlizx said:

It said that on the instructions to rename it with the FW number. Like I said before I am awful with this :lol

This has everything, 6.31 HEN included. Assuming you still have the demo installed, copy the contents of that zip archive to the base of the memory stick and run it again. You should get a "WARNING! MEMORY LEAK!" error or some such, then sent back to the XMB running 6.31 pro.

I'm thinking of packaging up every single file you need for HEN to work in one RAR/ZIP. It would include stuff like the demo, the HEN files, the save, the ISO loader etc, along with some detailed instructions - would this be against the TOS?

I checked again and you're right, it doesn't even let me enter my info. To be honest, I wasn't sure why I got the voucher and assumed it was because I attempted to sign in with my go, but now that I double check, it doesn't let you enter the info...ok, now I'm a bit weirded out. The only other way it could have happened is when I connected it to my PS3.
I got my PSP Go a week ago, hooked it up to my PS3 to download the few downloadable games I own (Thexder Neo, Badman, Patchwork heroes; download only stuff), then just last night I got an email with a voucher. According to the website:

I technically didn't do that. The package I got my PSP Go didn't advertise the three free games either (as shown in the one from the website).
I'm not complaining since I own two games I didn't before (already had Ratchet) but I'm curious as to how it happened now.

I love screen protectors and have them on pretty much everything. It's definitely not impossible as mine has now bust/air bubbles but it's definitely an acquired finesse with practice.
Mine looked like shit when I first did them but take your time and don't lean over it so dust can't fall down and it should go pretty well. If you get dust on the glue of the protector DO NOT try to get it off since it never works and looks 100x worse due to scratches from getting it off. Just live with the 1 piece of dust.Linkzg said:
The box doesn't matter, it's just a promotion for every new unit. It's just a shitty slip cover that slides over the box showing the 3 games, my actual box is a regular box. It's weird that that worked since I was told only logging into PSN as per sony's website and activating would get you the vouchers. Wish I would have known before I updated my PSP GO. :/ Too late now I suppose.
Heh. I'm planning on futzing around with all this tonight through this weekend and updating the OP accordingly. It's long overdue anyway.I NEED SCISSORS said:
I won't know until I get started on this, but redistributing some of the materials involved might just be against the ToS. I'll have a better idea shortly.
While I'm at it, I think I'll update the 'classic' section of my OP to help folks get up to the newest true CFW.

There's a youtube video that has this. But I'm not going to link it until I know if that's ok or not. I'd think it would be okay considering we're dealing with free demos in all cases.
Oyashiro said:
It's against ToS on CAG, but not sure about GAF. There are other obvious places for this sort of thing. Also I should note that I don't think it is their policy to accept printed coupons, but in reality it's more of a YMMV kind of thing. I actually had a decent conversation with the guy working Electronics at my Target about the Go and recent developments.

I'm a noob when it comes to knowledge about CFW. I have a PSP I purchased that had CFW already on it, 5.50 D3. It works for everything I've tossed at it so far.
So question, do I need to upgrade to this 6.2/6.3 Hen or whatever for new titles coming out (Third Birthday, Prinny 2) ? How hard is it to update, is it just software transfer over, etc?
I fear bricking

It really depends on if you want PSN access or not since HEN runs via OFW.
CFW has an advantage over HEN since its a permanant install.
My PSP is running GEN with Promethius installed.
So I'm trying to get HEN 6.35 to work on my psp 2000 daxter series. Every time I load up the save file, I get a message that says "WARNING MEMORY LEAK" and then I get dumped back into the psp xmb. I've formatted a couple times with no change in results. Suggestions would be wonderful.

That's what is supposed to happen. You can now run Prometheus, etc. Your system info should say something different than it did before.
Edit: You aren't putting on CFW or anything like that. It's sort of psuedo-CFW to allow your ISOs to run and homebrew, etc.

There's also a caveat that any new firmware needs to be exploited in some sense for HEN to work. It's not guaranteed HEN will work with a new firmware.

Damn I got a used psp go a week ago for 100. Check email today to see I get the 3free psp games as well lol. I love this device.

The PSPgo uses M2 only, so you don't need an adapter there (and with 16GB onboard it may take you awhile to use it anyway). But as you say, a memorystick adapter would make it easier to use with a card reader or an original PSP.

Indeed.
I don't remember who made this, but this sums up Mejilan's collection. Literally.

Wow, my handheld collection was way smaller back then!
Yeah, I know I don't need the M2 adapter for the Go itself.
And my current PSP 2000 is sporting 32GBs, so all I'm doing with this is bringing the Go up to parity with what I've been enjoying for mucho months.

I'd also like to know how to get my UMDs from my 3000 running 6.31 PRO onto my go?
It doesn't seem there's a built in UMD to PC utility.

Question: on the Go on 6.31 PRO, can I load ISOs from a memory stick through the Prometheus loader? I was thinking of getting an 8GB M2 to expand the capacity. Also, what's this I hear about problems with Sony sticks versus no problems with non-Sony? (would probably go Sandisk anyway)

Well it depends on how much you actually want pre-loaded at any one time. I mean, there are some games that just aren't worth the time to convert to ISO...

What memory stick do you have for each psp? Do brands still matter a lot?
I found a bit of an interesting, but useful, glitch with 6.20 HEN and the Prometheus Loader on the Go. If you use the Pause Game feature, you can completely shut down the PSP and go out of the HEN. Then, when you restart, you can resume the game and it'll still load up using the Prometheus Loader even if you haven't used HEN yet. After you load the game, you can exit it and HEN will be running.
