After I NEED SCISORS posted the guide I'm seriously debating getting a PSP Go. I never power off my PSP completely, and I love the form factor of the Go. Hell, my red PSP-2000 can probably fund entirely my PSP Go purchase.

Just keep in mind you will need a umd drive PSP to rip your owned UMD discs to the PSP go, and it is not 100% compatible with every game yet, and there isn't a perfectly working SNES emu for the go yet either.
I'm keeping my Dark Green MGSPW 3000 around for that reason and because they're not worth more than $75 to anyone.

Nice. Guess i'll get on that downgrade train.
Hope the newer games don't require new firmware anytime soon. I've ripped all my current UMD games to my computer so i could always update the old 3000 until a hack becomes available.
Has anyone got Ratchet and Clank Size Matters working on the go yet? It just crashes with prometheus and with iso tool.
so 6.35PRO-A was released. It has it's own iso/cso loader and vsh menu built in. It does lots of other things that I don't fully understand if someone wants to explain it, feel free 
It seems like if you shut down your system you need to start HEN and than the updater everytime. But its pretty simple. Drop into game folder, load up 6.35HEN, run updater, success.

I should probably mention that I did this on a PSP-2000

Hey Go-ers, why not give this new SNES emu build a shot?
SNES9x Euphoria R5 Beta 3

Wait, so this isn't a perma CFW for 1000/2000's?
DAMN IT. :|

I just want to use RemoteJoy but I cannot get it working. Don't understand how to install the "PSP B drivers".

I wonder whether this new CFW, albeit temporary, does support those games that currently appear incompatible with the other ISO loaders.MoogPaul said:so 6.35PRO-A was released.

If anyone can try it out and confirm if this boots Capcom Classics Reloaded and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, it would be greatly appreciated.

So dumb question. If I just walk across the street to Best Buy at lunch and pick up a PSPGo, I don't need to worry about what FW version is on it?
MiniBossman said:
Unless they produce new PSPgo's, no. I bought one here in the UK off the countries largest games retailer and it had 5.57. Used the links in these posts to upgrade to 6.20 official, and then 6.20 HEN.
A quick question to those useing Remotejoy. Follow the install instructions - and everything seemed to work fine (got my PSPgo's screen to show the XMB on my PC no problem), but as soon as I loaded the iso loader (and any game from it), it would just give me a black screen with a waiting text in the top right. Searched high and low for a solution, no dice.
I also get a sound of the USB disconnecting during the switch to the iso loader....

Last question: how responsive are the buttons and how "fragile" is the system? I plan on playing hardcore DJ Max on that thing. So far my PSP-2000 survived 4 years with not a single problem.

Thanks for this, I updated the guide and removed the Open Idea link since this seems like the very best solution.
Castor Krieg said:
The system doesn't feel fragile - thin maybe, but to be expected for a device with a slide mechanism. It's not like it will break in your hand or anything.
As for the buttons, the ones on the PSP 3000 ar definitely better. The Go's are still responsive, but they are tiny and a bit more clicky than you might expect.

There is a massive post on the last page detailing it.
Edit: When trying to load a game i'm getting this error message:
ms0:/iso/xxxx.iso
NP9660 Mode
ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/PIL_v2/
Any suggestions?

original message:
Problem is it had no mention to OFW 6.30 (maybe a note can be added) so i was kinda lost when i posted the previous post. I figured out i had to update to 6.31 and now i'm trying to do the others steps on the guide you mentioned. Thanks for the help.

does anyone know if SNES9x Euphoria R5 Beta 3 works on 6.31 without slowdowns?

Hi guys. I've been stuck with 5.50 CFW forever on my 3000. The post on the last page only talks about this temporary CFW, but is there a good new permanent CFW? I've been out of the PSP loop...

I'm assuming you either meant you have a 2000 or that you're on 5.03 CFW. Honestly, for what IS installed, I would stay where you are until a more viable solution is around. Right now we, those of us still on 5.03/5.50 still have pops support, better ISO compatibility and better plugin support.

You're right it's a 2000, my bad! Guess I will leave it as it is then. What do I need to run some of the newer games? I would like to pick up Tactics Ogre soon, but there probably is no way.

schennmu said:
So long as you used the prometheus updater for your CFW you should be fine. the only other thing might be to rip the UMD and patch the game in some way, should it not work as it is. I kind of doubt it'll be an issue though, as even really recent PSP games have been working fine.

Haven't heard of Prometheus yet, but I will check it out! I'm currently on GEN-D3, so it should be ok. Thanks for the help!

The Go uses a different firmware update than the regular models. You need to get the one specific to the Go.

You can usually find the firmwares you need on PSPslimhacks. that's where I generally go for that stuff just because I don't have to wade through a billion links on qj.net or rely on upload sites.

In it's really weird but it's probably nothing moment. I went back to best buy today with my gift card to pickup a PSPGo. Yesterday they had about 10 white ones and 2 black ones. Today they only had one black one (in with the regular psps) which I bought. I guess it's possible they all got sold but seems highly unlikely. Dunno if it means anything.

use the UMD Dump prx plugin form Takka. Basically set it up like any other plugin, put the menu on the game and hit home. It's done dumping once the memory stick access light stays off.

snk2 said:
Yep. The thing I really like about it is that the file name is <game ID>.iso, so for offbeat archival/lookup purposes it's more useful than UMD Dumper was. Of course, the game will still show up on the XMB with the proper information, but if you're using prometheus ISO loader you may want to rename the ISOs to the proper game name. This is one of the reasons I liked using the openidea plugin instead (before I brought my 3000 back to 5.03 again).
Hm, Prometheus Iso Loader v2 isn't working for me. I'm on 6.20 TN-C. Put the Prometheus folder in my GAME folder, it shows up under games and boots up just fine. When I go select an iso, it just kicks me back out to the XMB.
EDIT: Finally got it working, woooo! My only issue is that the list doesn't scroll, so some of my games go beyond what I can see... Is there any way to fix that? Also, is it normal that the loader shows a copy of all my isos? For example, if I have Daxter, the list will show "Daxter" and ".Daxter" right under it.
