The Go uses its own firmware.
??? i havent bought it yet but i remember people saying it only required 6.35. that's weird. would some copies really require two different firmwares?Shiv47 said:

Is the Firmware they list to download not the correct one? If so, where can I find the right firmware?

I just tried my UMD again, and when I select the game to play, it specifically says that I am running firmware 6.35, and in order to play must upgrade to 6.37. The UMD upgrade to 6.37 is immediately after the game in my selections in the Game section on the PSP. So I'm not sure where people are getting that they only need 6.35, unless there is some workaround I am unaware of...

There's at least one more version of PRO-B coming. Then they've stated they're going to release it as open source after the genesis competition.jling84 said:

Trying to figure out what the deal is with SNES9X on my Go. Ever since playing it on my HDTV via PS3 controller, Euphoria R5 Beta 3 is very prone to crashing and freezing when moving around the menu.

So I was noticing that the PSP Go is getting pretty cheap, lately so I was a little interested in picking one up. However, I don't really have much interest in playing PSP games on it. I'd primarily be looking at it as a portable PSOne/SNES.
What's the likelihood of getting a PSP at retail these days with a firmware version old enough to bypass?
Also, from reading around, I gather that the PSP Go still can't do a native firmware flash to allow for that. All of these "custom firmwares" aren't actually firmware at all, just a software layer that runs in RAM, correct? Isn't that kind of slow? And a pain in the ass to deal with?

Haven't touched my PSP in ages. But I'm tempted again by Patapon 3. Possible to play this with CFW still? I have a Phat PSP.

Nope, it's not slow. And no, it's not a pain in the ass. My Go is almost never turned off. Pretty much only when a new version of TN comes out. The PSP sleep mode is excellent.MacGurcules said:

Forgot the mention I'm currently on 5.00 M33-6 (PSP 1000).
[edit] Did some more reading, so ... I assume I would want 6.35 HEN? That will allow me to play Patapon 3. What's the upgrade process from my current firmware?

Truespeed said:Has anyone here bought a plastic hand grip holder for their PSP Go? Something like this. It's only $5 shipped, sort of shaped like a 360 controller and probably alleviates any cramps you might get if you have large hands and play for extended periods.
this is late, but yes, this thing rules. Does exactly what it advertises and makes the whole thing way more comfortable. I'd recommend it to anyone with normal adult sized hands. Even if your hands don't go numb/cramp, it just makes holding the thing easier.

--Go to gamestop and ask to look at the used Go systems. At $100, it's the best deal around for a Go. You can check the firmware. It's very likely they'll have 6.35 or lower.
--The "custom firmware" are actually HENs (homebrew enabler.) I use 6.2 TN-E, which is just a program you download, put in the GAME folder, and run once. Simple as can be. If your system completely shuts down (like after a hard freeze/crash), you have to run it again, but it takes literally 10 seconds. Not a pain at all. It seems to do everything CFW does. There are other methods, but I haven't looked into them.
Then you install prometheus to GAME, your ISOs, and you run it, pick a game from the list and you're done.
--The only downside is that you can't use the PSP Go's freeze state option under Prometheus iso loader. The games run inside the Prometheus program, so it creates an unusable save out of that program.

you should use the aLoader plugin. It will allow you to launch your ISOs from the XMB and lets you use the freeze states.Smision said:

Yup. It's what I'm using with TN-E.Smision said:
Oh my god. I've stopped using my PSP for a while (a cousin of mine has been using it). Now that the PSN storm is over, I decided to pick it up again, so I could do the PSN password reset thing and, perhaps, update it's custom firmware to something newer.
I'm still using 5.50 Prometheus-2. I never bothered updating to Prometheus 3 back then because of the Save Incompatibility thing. I knew there were plugins and applications designed to fix save incompatibility, but I just didn't bother.
Now, there's a million different Custom Firmware available. Somebody said, earlier in this thread, that Prometheus 3 v4 is the best bet so far (as Prometheus 4 breaks compatibility with some games), but I look around and there's about a billion different firmwares running up-to-date firmware, mostly for the PSP Go and ports to the 1000 and 2000 models.
Is 5.50 Prometheus-3 v4 still the best bet? I'd like to keep playing my UMD discs from the memory card, PS games with updated emulators would be a plus (as some games don't work with the Prometheus 2 one) and PSN and PS Store access. I can still do it on Prometheus-2 with PSN Lover, so I'm guessing that's not an issue? I'd like to download some new free games when the PS Store gets back..
Edit: I know all about Prometheus 4 being fucked up and not officially released, I'm just asking if any of the newer installable firmwares on a PSP2000 (for instance, 6.38 ME-3) bring any benefit not present in Prometheus 3.

If i get this with the adapter will it work on a PSP 2000?

Okay I have a question, I am trying to put OFW back on my 1000 to give to my son for a present. I have prometheus 5.50, i can't remember what version but i think its the first one, on the psp and i am trying to use hellcats' recovery 1.62 but its having issues. What is the best route to get OFW on my old psp?
Any help would be appreciated.

You should have checked it before you bought it. Can you switch it out for another?dock said:Just bought a PSP Go used, hoping it would come with older firmware. It came with 6.38... curses.

I don't know anything about it, but I know people are making use of signed code. Not sure what that does. but i highly doubt that's legal to talk about here.
If you bought it at gamestop, they'll take it back. they'll also let you check firmware on PSPs before buying...they don't care what you do with a Go, as the store is cut out of it either way.

*shrug* I wouldn't know. But I may have to use it since my PS3 is down and I'm not updating past 6.20 for now, unless there is some HEN enabled PSNfucker plugin.
It's also Windows only, which kinda sucks.

I haven't touched me PSP in some time and it looks like I'm on 5.50 GEN-D Full. How would I go about upgrading to the latest CFW? Is there a new preferred way of ripping PSX - PSP?

Ah well, hopefully it'll be opened up eventually. o_o
I haven't been following the scene since PRO-C (or D or something), but it's a sure thing that eventually your firmware will be cracked.
