I have a PSP-2000 with 6.31 OFW, what can I install on it?

So I want to increase the memory stick for my psp. Is there anything I should look for? I remember the sony ones used to be a lot slower, is that still the case? I also heard of using an M2 card with an adapter. Is that a better route? Thanks.

Downgrade to 6.20, install 6.20 PRO B8 Perma patch.fna84 said:
I've never tried an adapter myself but they do work.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
I remember Pro Duo being slow ass when I had a PSP 2000 but I'm thinking that was partly because it was a fake.
M2 cards are fairly cheaper than Pro Duo so I would suggest that (and you might have less chance of picking up a fake)
Edit: I would be willing to make a new OT since this one is fairly outdated and it doesn't look like the OP is going to update but junior member.

The easiest way is probably to upgrade to 6.39 official firmware, then install 6.39 PRO-B8. It's just a case of drag and dropping files from your computer onto the PSP. And if you really need to downgrade in future, you can use the new 6.39 downgrader.
Since this is 'temporary' custom firmware (it uninstalls if you turn off the PSP, but sleep mode still works so it's a non-issue), there is virtually 0% chance of bricking it. It also takes literally 30 seconds to re-install it if the PSP does turn off.

Haven't been to this thread in a while. Is there any reason to upgrade 6.35PRO on my PSPGo to 6.39 PRO-B8?
As I stand now, I can play my ISOs fine. But I would love to have an SNES emulator that didn't run like crap. It would also be nice to rip some of my PSONE games and play them on my PSP as I cannot bear to view some of them on a 60" HDTV via PS3.

Yeah, I too would like an answer to this. I'm currently running 6.35 PRO-B3 with zero problems. Does the new CFW have any nice tweaks for emulators over 6.35 PRO-BX?

damn you cannot transfer content from your PS3 unless your PSP has the latest FW.

There's no perma patch for 6.39PRO B8 yet, right? Is going down to 6.20 the only way...

Anyone know how good this is? I see the dude play RE4 without problems on his PSP but I wanna know if I can do the whole PC thing via this method. I'm interested in playing some PC games on PSP and this would be amazing if it worked perfect.

Just tried it out. It's pretty good, although for video games I wouldn't expect too much as it seems to run at like 12 fps. Video and web browsing on the other hand is great, although you'd best leave the sound coming from your speakers and not the PSP.

Good enough to screw around with a few times, you can also manually emulate button/mouse command via the PSP buttons/analog.
Yes, you can! Sometimes the game would crash during Draw moments and Battle with Diablos (the solution back then was to turn the PSP screen off during those segments) although maybe they fixed it all by now, been more than a year or two since I tried it outrhfb said:
Anybody having problems with sound skipping while running CFW? I'm running prometheus 5.50 on my PSP.(I guess that's kind of old.) So I was just trying out Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles on my PSP and there was quite a bit of audio skipping in the intro videos for both 1 & 2. (I tried both direct from a memory stick and from the UMD and heard the skipping on both.) Has anybody had that problem? I'm guessing maybe I should do new CFW but was curious if this is an issue with a lot of them. (Guess I could try my brother's PSP first since he isn't running CFW just to make sure the disc is ok.)

Just picked up a psp go, was wondering where to begin with putting custom firmware on it?

Ditto here. I've got a PSP 1000 with 6.39 PRO-B9 Beta on it and it's corrupted all my save data and I can't get a single game to run on Popsloader. I wanna CFW my new Go, but I want to make sure it has the most compatible CFW and that I can transfer my stuff over with no problems. Thoughts?

Please help! I've been trying for a week now to get any PSX games running on both of my PSPs and am failing miserably. I haven't played PSX games on my PSP in probably two or three years, but I've still never had this problem before.
I've got a PSP-1000 and PSP Go, both with CFW (currently 6.39 Pro-B9 Beta). I've been ripping my discs with both ImgBurn (.bin) and/or IsoBuster (.iso) and converting them to EBOOT with PSX2PSP v.1.4.2. Every single game I've tried just crashes the system at a black screen, not even loading the Playstation logo. This includes games that played just fine a few years ago.
I know that Popsloader is working correctly because the only game I can run is a PSX EBOOT that I made a few years ago, and it still works perfectly. And I know it's not the CFW, because I was on 5.50 Prometheus a few days ago and having the same problem.
Is it the software? Are there better programs I should use? What am I doing wrong?

I used search and I tried googling before asking, but I didn't even see anyone asking the question- but is there anyway to spoof 6.39 PRO B8 into letting me move my PSN downloaded copy of FFVIII from my 3.70 PS3 onto my PSP?

6.20 PRO is the best way to go. If you're on higher firmware just downgrade.Outtrigger888 said:
Did you update from 5.50 CFW by any chance?Randam_Hajile said:
It has a asshole bug which corrupts saves, your saves will most likely work again if you downgrade.
I'd suggest using something other than PSX2PSP, I have no idea why it's not working.Randam_Hajile said:
Nope not yet. MediaGo still works though.Aru said:

I totally did. I fixed the save for the game I'm currently playing, but will have to go back and do something about my older saves.prowler_ said:
I've also tried using Simple Popstation GUI 3.00 Beta, and had the same results. I honestly have no idea what to do at this point. Over the past week, I've tried everything I can imagine (short of another CFW) and have had zero success. I can't get a single PSX game to work at all, other than my EBOOT of Policenauts that I created years ago.prowler_ said:

Are you filling in all those boxes?
http://gamerspress.com/mediawiki/?title=PSX_on_PSP_Compatibility_List
This list will tell you what game ID to use and also some notes too (but it's mostly for older firmwares but might work on new ones too)
Save ID is the same as the game ID and make sure you're using the correct image sizes (if you're using images at all)

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Unfortunately, still not working. All the forms are filled in correctly when I load the .bin/.cue/.iso etc.
When I don't use Popsloader, I can play my old Policenauts EBOOT with no problems. Every other EBOOT I create goes straight to a black screen (before even getting to the Playstation boot screen) and crashes the system. If I use New Popsloader v2 that I got from the official PRO-CFW page (and with all modules correctly placed), and hold R to go to the version select screen, no matter which version I choose, I get kicked back to the XMB with an error of "The game could not be started. (80010002)". If I don't hold R, I just get a black screen and system crash.
Ahhh, I've been pushing it off all year, but I finally decided to make the jump from 5.50 Gen-D3 + Prome-4 to a perma-patched 6.20 Pro-B8. I started off with my trusty PSP 2000, since I'm most familiar with that, and proceeded to update my favorite plugins to 6.xx compatible versions. CWCheat (no update needed), Game Categories, POPSLoader, and a few others seem to be working perfectly, I'm happy to report.
With that successfully done, I finally busted out the long-neglected PSPGo (5g / 6.20 stock) and duplicated my success. I'm now copying content over to the Go and will probably use that as my primary device; relegated the much-loved 2000 as a UMD disc ripper.

Guys, I need help. I've been out of the loop for a minute now and have a psp-go on 6.29 tn-a through the patapon exploit. I want to play the final fantasy zero demo so I need to upgrade? How should I go about this? Should I upgrade the official firmware or is there some way around this restriction?

I was wondering if it was possible to convert a .mcr I have on ePSXe (specifically one file from it) into a .psv or whatever format that can be read by a PSP and/or PS3? I heard that there was a homebrew application that can do it, but my PSP is fully updated which makes homebrew not an option for me.

Yup. Though I have no idea if it still works on recent firmwares.Momo said:
