Is a new popsloader coming out for this CFW? because I want to continue playing Gran turismo. The game locks up after the SCEA logo.

# tested popsloaderSephiroth86 2008-06-29 05:22
It works on 4.01m33-2.

If u mean you want to use 4.00 or 4.01 pops, just ''use original from flash'' for 4.01 and maybe try the files in the existing popslader for 4.00.

As for Gran Turismo, why not play the second one?

# usb errormajorbb100 2008-06-29 07:26
i had 4.01 M33 and my usb worked just like normal, i update to 4.01 M33-2, and i get some wierd usb error. When i plug a cord in i push usb mode and it just says usb mode forever. Then i push o and push usb mode again and it works but a message comes up saying an internal error has occured, then i push o and i can access the xmb while in usb mode. But if i want to exit usb i have to reboot. wierd. Does anyone else have this bug?

# No errorsurherenow 2008-06-29 16:07
Both Phat and slim work with no usb errors. If your USB cable is a cheap $9 usb/power combination it could very well be a meesed up cable. Intermittent shorts are a b**** to track down and take care of.



Also... you didn't have a custom theme on your PSP when you installed this did you? I always had problems installing custom firmware before I started returning my PSP to default settings before upgrading. Just food for thought...

# A little bugunknown_knight 2008-06-29 17:15
How do you fix the error with the savedata icon so that it shows the actual picture of the psx game and not the dracula icon (This is very annoying)?



Anyone know how to fix this?

# About the bugunknown_knight 2008-06-29 17:19
This was also on 3.80m33-x and 3.90m33-x, I ended up downgrading to 3.71m33-4 due to the minor bugs . I hope that this bug will be fix in the future.



Thanks Dark_AleX!!!!!! !!!

yeah it is a really cheap usb cable, i dont know, but its funny though because it worked fine until i updated to 4.01, but i did remove my custom theme to normal, and put back the original flash0.

# need helpAMMKILLER 2008-06-30 10:07
i just got a magic gate 2GB memory stick.

i know that you download sony offical firmware update 1.50, 3.52, and 3.90 firmware updates then extract them and renaming them PBP. The problem is i dont how to extract files. Also what PSP file do i put the custom firmware files in MP_ROOT , SAVEDATA , SYSTEM , or GAME? I almost forgot what psp file do i put the RAR file.



Pandor battery and homebrew were do i get downloads for that and were do i put them in my psp.

I think that is it add ULR if possible. and when i gt the memory card i updated to 4.10 update and cant find any down grader programs for the psp.

# bugPSPegasus 2008-07-01 02:13
I'm having issues with this update. Since I installed it my PSP keeps telling me that "There are no games" on my memory stick. If I go to USB mode, with or without a cable connected, or eject and reinsert the memory stick and then go back to games they suddenly reappear. If I run something from the list and then quit, the games are gone again. I've never had this problem before on any previous firmware, custom or otherwise.

I see no point in updating to this. The only difference is a in-xmb google search. You can just go to the internet browser and google search. Im not gonna lose by badass theme for this. Good job though DaX. Its not your fauly sony makes gay-ass updates.

# replymaciejl08 2008-07-04 04:30
pandora battery is a hardmod, you dont need to download anything for that.

For the MMS (magic memory stick) you will need "14749_TOTALNewbi easyInstallerPa ndorasmenu". you do not simply drag and drop the zipped files onto your PSP, you must run the program on your computer, follow the simple steps, then then program formats your memory card and instals itself. after you have the MMS and the pandora battery, just put them into your psp, press O or X (forgot witch one) your done.

it doesnt matter what firmware version you currently have (i modded my frieds psp when he was running 4.01 OFW)

im sure you can find some tutorials on this web site.

# ProblemsCrow_FoReVeR 2008-07-06 11:24
I can't install this or 3.95 M33.

I am still using the original firmware Sony put out.

I have v 3.95.

Every time I try to install this 1 or 3.95 M33 I get the message "The game could not be started. (80020148)"

Is there any1 that knows Y I am getting this message.

O and I did copy the original update to the root of the memory stick as 395.PBP for 3.95 M33 and as 401.PBP for this 1.

I would appreciate any help, thanks.

# Forgot to mention.Crow_FoReVeR 2008-07-06 11:31
I forgot to mention that I would rather have 3.95 M33 installed if possible. But I don't think I can sense I already have the original 3.95 installed.

# CFWdeceiver 2008-07-07 07:39
If you "can't install" why are you getting the 80020148 error? Have you actually installed the custom firmware, if so you might need to turn on the m33 driver

# OFW??degenrise 2008-07-08 05:25
So you say you are on sony' s Official firmware? Then you need a pandora battery and a magic memory stick. It should not be too hard to find. However if you dont have a friend with a CFW psp then you will either have to hard mod the battery or buy one somewhere.

# magic memory stick?Crow_FoReVeR 2008-07-08 17:28

# Not that kind of Magic Memory Stick.sabel4 2008-07-09 06:39
Those updates won't run on official firmware - they're not designed to. You use those to update a custom firmware to a newer custom firmware.



A magic memory stick isn't one with MagicGate. It's specially formatted by the computer while you have the PSP on USB connection, and has special files loaded on it that are run when you insert a pandora's battery. I'd reccomend the totalNewbie Pandora installer. It installs 3.71 M33 when it's done, but that can be easily upgraded to any newer version, and this installer is by far the easiest one to use, IMHO (install DC4 to the memory stick.) However, this only works on Windows XP, and I haven't looked into doing it on Vista.



You still need the pandora's battery. Either get one from somebody who's already got Custom Firmware, or you may have to buy a tool battery from Datel for $20. Be forewarned - they take forever to ship, my friend who got one says.
