Stores don’t normally carry unpatched stuff unless you’re lucky. I came across GTA LCS unpatched selling for $40, while the similar copy patched costs $25 new and $18 used. Ebay is your best bet but like I said, be prepared to shell out the money for it. You can always resell the game later so not much loss.

I am still an oldschooler with FW 1.5 using Devhook to emulate FW 3.11. I’d like to update to CF 3.52 M33 but have some questions. Please help me out here…If I upgrade how do I downgrade again back to fw 1.5 if I’d ever want to? I also believe it allows me to still use iso’s? I don’t want to have to start carrying my UMDs around if I don’t have to. Please no smart ass remarks….just some to the point answers.
Thanks
Killer

2007-08-11 17:13:00

killerkellerjr: once you have installed 3.52 by M33 you can then downgrade back to 1.5 firware by using the recovery option. For your second question, yes CF 3.52 M33 does allow iso to be run. hope that helps

I recently upgraded to 3.52 M33-2, and I tried to recover back to 1.5…it didn’t work. There was an error loading a prx? The good thing is my psp 1001 is just fine. The only game I can’t get to work is a homebrew named Laserix!

3.52 M33-2 is great firmware and I don’t really need 1.5 back anyway!!!

csta strikes again with his stupid lame-ass request for a downgrader… Dude, you got OWNED ! Why tha fuck did you buy a PSP running official firmware 3.51 ?? I would get a refund if I were you…

GO BEAT UP THE FUCKER THAT SOLD YOU THE PIECE OF SHIT ! AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP BASHING EVERY SINGLE NEW COMMENT !!! That, or you can go shoot yourself in the head for getting shagged up the buttocks ’cause it’s you own damn fault for buying an upgraded one.

Comment by Ash
2007-08-17 04:42:49

i have not tried it because I’m already on 3.52 m33-2 but i’m sure this upgrader/downgrader thingy is safe . since your’re on 2.8 you don’t need any game to downgrade…..now how lucky is that lol. just make sure you follow the instructions or whatever it has on there to have a safe downgrade to 1.5, then you can upgrade to 3.52 m33-2.

Good Luck!

And what about 3.40 to 2.80 is it safe !!! and what are the Instructions, is there any battery or UMD involved!?!?!?!?

Comment by Ash
2007-08-17 08:05:42

dex: it’s imposible to downgrade you’re 3.40 to 2.80. you would have to use this program thing and upgrade to 3.50. from then if you want to downgrade to a 1.50 you would have to use the Lumines umd to downgrade. battery is involved in upgrading or downgrading, make sure you have 75% battery left or higher to lower your chances of bricking your psp. i personally recommend 100% of battery though, but anyway i never tried it but i do believe it’s safe being that this is the second release so all the bugs should be out if they were any.

Can i upgrade from 3.40 to 3.40 OE?!?!?!?!

Comment by Ash
2007-08-18 07:57:20

Sorry dude, you can’t upgrade from 3.40 to 3.40 oe. the only way for you to have a 3.40 oe is first you need to upgrade your 3.40 to a 3.50. the reason why is because the only firmwares you can downgrade are 1.00 to 3.03. since your on 3.40, luckily there is a downgrader for 3.50 so just update to that, and use the lumines downgrader. once your’re downgraded to 1.50, you can upgrade to 3.40 oe-a. also there is no program you can use to run devhook, games, and fastloader on a 3.50

once you downloaded a game, go into the root of your memory stick on your psp. you will see of course your psp folder and some other stuff. go into the psp folder, once in it you will see a game150 folder and a game folder. all of your hombrew games, emulators, roms, etc will go into the game150 folder for it to work

Last question sorry !!!! this means that i can upgrade from 3.50 to 3.52 M33 without UMD !!?!?!?!?

Comment by Aah
2007-08-19 12:30:58

no, once you are at 3.50 you have to use the lumines UMD to downgrade to 1.50. then you can upgrade to 352 M33 without the umd. so there are no requirements for using a UMD to upgrade from 1.50 to 3.52 M33. Only when downgrading your 3.50 to 1.50 you would need lumines

lol yeah only sony’s UMD games, sorry dude no hombrew for you until you downgrade.

hmmmmmmmm it’s been along time since i opened up my UMD door to play sony’s games it probably has spider webs on it lol. you know, it kinda brings back memories a little. now instead of buying them i usually just download them and guess what…………..FOR FREE MUAHhahahahahahahaha. hope this helps.

Good reading through the comments as a noob particularly Aah’s
I am on 3.40ea and run everything from memory, I also got my son one but this is 3.11 how can I upgrade downgrade (ie do i need Lumines) and what firmware do you suggest

Thanks

Comment by Ash
2007-09-03 18:29:40

It’s Ash by the way , lol typo but anyways, you would have to download the 3.50 eboot file to upgrade his 3.11 psp to that firmware. and yes lumines is required. the firmware i would probably suggest is 3.52 m33-4 because it’s the latest custom firmware and everyone knows new is always better right? lol. actually it really depends on the custom xmb’s, because certain xmb’s only work on certain firmwares so that;s why people would sometimes choose a lower custom firmware.

Hopes this helps

Ash.

Just a quick one here guys, thanks for a great program. And I’m not sure if I’ve missed some instructions - before I accidentally brick my psp… Can I upgrade from 3.10 OE-A to 3.40OE-A on a TA-082? And what’s the easiest method. Any help is appreciated. And no, I can’t find Lumines… I’m in China. :D

Comment by Ash
2007-09-07 04:13:37

yes you can upgrade to 3.40 oe-a with your current custom firmware. TA-082 psp’s can do this, because i have one and successfully upgraded. well there isn’t any other easy methods only one. just download it, and read the readme carefully of couse.

 
 
Comment by Hujuman

Hey there Ash. Thanks for the quick response. However, the only readme I have contains a changelog. Again - is there anywhere I can get the readme from?

Comment by Ash
2007-09-07 19:31:45

i don’t know if you downloaded the 3.40 OE firmware from another site, but if you download from this site, it should have the readme.
