This is xmb:



Go to GAMES - Memory stick - start the update for 5.00M33-6

[jondi]

does the EBOOT.PBP FILE NEED TO BE CHANGED TO 500.PBP ? I put update into psp/game but when i go to memory stick it just reads corrupt. does it go into game as 500.pbp or update folder then 500.pbp ?

Hello,

I upgraded to 6.00 from the Sony site before I found out about firmware, and I'm wondering how I can rectify this. My PSP is a UK slim.

Your only choice is Pandora+MMS, and even then it still might not be hackable if the PSP has the unhackable motherboard.

hi ppl. i have a psp-2000 with cfw 3.90 m33-3.

can i get some advice on which cfw to upgrade to to be able to play new games such as gran turismo etc and still be able to play old games such as dissidia?

the cfw was loaded when i got my psp so i'm really clueless about these stuff. i wouldn't mind trying it myself if there weren't any chances of bricking.

so do i need a pandora battery? or can i just load it like that...?

first update to 5.00m33-6 using my tutorial

5.00m33-6
run these installers from with 3.xx kernal mode set.(hold R trigger when starting psp to enter recovery menu, enter config, set game homebrew kernal to 3.xx)

-first download this file

-after extracting it, u will get a 5.00 official firmware eboot.

-rename it as 500.PBP
