Alright, just got homebrew running on my Go. Any list of essential homebrew programs that will run on 6.20 TN HEN?

no. that was just for Lando Jones. he has a PSP that can use CFW. PSP-3000, PSP Go and one motherboard revision of the PSP-2000 models do not have the ability to use CFW.Castor Krieg said:

I didn't think there was a working SNES emu for the Go at this point??
The one I have boots up, you get the legal notice, scroll down and accept, then it gives you the message "exit to XMB? X-yes Circle-No" or something and no matter what you press it either closes and reopens the error message or shuts down the system.
Is there a working SNES emu for gos using HEN? could someone point it out?

So sad my PSP had 6.30 on it when I bought it.
I hope they sign a 6.31/6.35 version soon that has the improvements. Everything's working okay but it'd be nice to have the 6.20 features.

I don't know what version it is but the one I have runs perfectly on 6.20 TN HEN. I pulled it off the memory stick of my PSP 2000.

Hey all, sticking my head back in here. So after the PSP keys were alleged to have been found, I set my sights on getting back my Spirited Green PSP 3000, which I had sold in favor of a hackable PSP 2000. I found another one in great shape and bought it today, so now I just wanted to ask what is available on 6.31, the OFW my new PSP currently runs.

What is a latest CFW for PSP 1000 ?
I think I have Prometheus 2 v4 I believe or something like that. Is there anything better around?

I'm running 5.55 GEN-D3 on a fat and I was wondering the same. Is it worth updating to another cfw?

this is a BIG deal if I understand it correctly. essentially means no need to use the patapon exploit on a PSP Go in order to run homebrew, correct? All you'll need to do is extract 6.20 TN-C and run direct. is this accurate? if so, woooooooohoooo.

Have they come out with simpler methods of going from OFW to CFW with the new ability to sign stuff?

PSP Filer is the program you want.
Insert the UMD, hit triangle, and then the R button. It will allow you to name the file and output it to an ISO folder on the root of your memory stick.

would you care to take a look at the version? everything i've seen posted online indicated no SNES emus worked on the go with HEN at this time.
similar question to onken's, but i'm still on 3.99 m33, and i don't know what to upgrade to or how. obviously i'm not exactly keeping up with psp releases, but i guess my priority is just being able to run emulators, and preferably run new psp games without having to patch them. thanks
Why would you do that?

I bought a used PSP Go on 6.35. I'm very disappointed with the system's buttons, but am happy with the homebrew. I just need to find a good SNES emulator...
My favorite thing about signed homebrew is that the PSP's Pause/Resume function works with it, even emulators.
Signing homebrew will let you run homebrew code. However, it won't give you kernel access, which is needed for homebrew such as ISO loaders (to load backups), flash writers (for downgrading and custom firmware), and .prx plugins (custom services that run on top of every game, such as a screenshot app, a cheat app, or an overclocking app).
The function of the HEN is to run some homebrew code that exploits a security hole in the PSP's kernel and allow for kernel access.
Sadly, Sony patched the kernel's security hole in the new 6.37, so there's currently no kernel access on that firmware. However, signed homebrew will still work, as long as the homebrew doesn't need kernel access (and most don't). To regain kernel access, a new HEN will have to be made. However, to make a new HEN, a new kernel exploit will need to be found.
Edit: Beaten. I really need to post faster instead of proofreading 100 times...

I'm pretty sure the way it works is this:onken said:

You probably already know this, but just in case: On a Mac, when you mount something as removable storage (like a USB drive or a PSP) and you delete something from that external volume, you have to empty the trash before you remove it. If not, it leaves invisible Mac-specific files on there that will occupy room. Is it possible that you deleted several ISOs, didn't empty the trash, and now have the "ghost files" still there? An easy way to check is to plug it into a Windows PC and inspect it with the "View Hidden Files and Folders" option in Windows Explorer.Oyashiro said:Hey guys, I'm having a huge problem with my PSP-2000. It's not realted to 6.35 or any of that HEN crap, so I'm giving you a break from all those questions, haha.
So anyway, here's the deal. My PSP had been working just fine up until recently. I played it a lot during winter break and had no problems. Then classes started again and I had no time for it. Yesterday, I tried to add an .iso to my ISO folder and I got some error about there not being enough space. This was very strange considering I have a 16GB memory stick and I'm only using up about 10GB or so. The iso was only like 600MB, so there was definitely enough room for it in there (no, I don't have pictures, videos, or anything like that. Trust me, there was more than enough room for the .iso) I tried using my friend's PC (I have a Mac) and I got the same error. So I copied all my files over to my Mac, formatted the memory stick on the PSP, and moved my stuff back. I didn't have any problems loading my stuff on there, but when I went to Games on the XMB, it says there are no games! It also doesn't see my save filesI'm freaking out right now because I don't wanna lose my stuff. I checked the system info and it says I'm still on Prome-4, so I really dunno...
HBL r113 for 6.37 and below:

Unless you need the PSX emulator update: Yeah, stay at M33. You aren't missing anything from GEN.
Has there been work on getting CWCheat to run in HBL? Honestly, that's the thing I really want if we can't get a full CFW. I want to update my PSX emulator/Sony's emulator from 5.50 for Biohazard/Resident Evil 2 and the like to run without issues, but losing CWCheat/Gameshark ability for PSP/PSX games really is the dealbreaker for me.
deim0s said:
*siiigh* I wish someone would find a way to update the firmware already.
Or give us the updated PSX emulation files/method. Because frankly that's the only annoyance for me on the PSP. Outside of Tactics Ogre/Third Birthday/Last Ranker, I can't care about any of the other new PSP titles past 5.50. :/

Aru said:I read that some ISO Tool features can brick a PSP. So far, I only did rip a game and made an XMB shortcut. I think that only CFW features would brick my PSP (but I have no use for them) so basically I will avoid using them
The ISO to XMB is just a front end to an ISO loader so nothing can go wrong there. Works great btw. Not that annoying to use an ISO loader but I would maybe consider buying a few games in UMD now rather than only PSN (every game I own is from PSN - I only use ISO to play undubs).

Alright this hacked psp project is almost complete just have a few more questions.
My psp is still at 4.01 m33-2
I hear that 5.00 m33-6 is where I need to be and to also have prometheus 4 installed..
Not sure how to do that.
Any help would be appreciated
Also any links to making isos or back ups of current game I own would help too

So I've found a great list of signed homebrew apps, including picodrive, and DaedalusX64 Alpha 630, but no word on a signed and working SNES emulator. if anyone can confirm, I'd appeciate the link.
