What is your firmware and what emu are you trying to use? And are you using a fat or slim?
It’s 3.xx for slim, 1.50 for fat.
I’ve been searching for the last 10 mins and I’m still confused. I’ll try to be blunt. I have firmware 3.80. What steps do I take to getting a firmware that allows genesis/SNES/MAME emulators?
Thanks in advance.
Cool. And I hear it’s out in Japan already? I’ll look out for it next time I go shopping.
Honestly, pick-up-and-play games like this, Lumines and Every Extend Extra are my favorite types of PSP games (and not just for the MDMA-inspired aesthetics)… I’d love to play stuff like Tetris Grand Master and Pac-Man CE on a handheld… anyway thx for the heads-up.
Well, I got my order with dealxtreme.com in the mail today. I ordered a psp 2400mAh battery (fat I assumed due to the high mAh), and a fat cover for a slim psp. The cover’s okay but this battery is the same size as a slim battery, only with 2400mAh on the front. It doesn’t look really bootleg, just like a battery made by a different manufacturer. Gold paint across the front in the same font as the old fat batteries. Eh. The package looked REALLy cheap: same type of package you’d find on a cell phone accessory in a mexican or indian convenience store. The charge it had when it got here was 54%, and the time my psp gave me on that charge was an estimated 3 hours. My fully charged 1200mAh had an estimated time of 5 h 31 min. I expect to see a longer time once this battery’s charged fully. If I don’t, this bitch better at least have a slower energy output rate that lengthens the battery’s charge, otherwise I’m just gonna say fuck it and plunk down 40 bucks for a fat battery at Wal-Mart.
edit: it made a poping sound a couple seconds ago while charging. I checked it out. No heat, no damage, psp still powers on and charges normally. Still…I think I’m gonna buy an official fat battery from Wal-Mart today…for the moment, still charging. Current charge: 70% playtime on charge: 4 hours
final edit: Okay, fully charged. Time: 6 hours, 57 seconds. How much life can I get on a fat battery? Is it in the double digits in terms of hours?
TRUE final edit: this charge is dissapating fast. I’ve had the psp on the battery info screen for 25 minutes or so, and it’s now at 90% power, and I haven’t even been doing anything with it. I’m buying a fat 2200mAh this weekend.

DR: You need to have access to a Memory Stick (of at least 128 MB), a modded PSP (be it Fat or Slim) and a Fat PSP Battery to create a Pandora’s Set, which will allow you to install Custom Firmware (CFW, non-official Firmware) to your PSP, enabling the capacity to play emulators, homebrews and backups of your PSP/PSX games.
If you don’t have access to a modded PSP, you can also order the special battery (this is the only site I know of that sells the battery), and as a last resort, you can physically mod a Fat battery. I have instructions on soft- or hard-modding batteries here.
QUESTION: What is the most stable D_A custom firmware? I wanna say it’s 3.71 M33-4, anyone disagree and why?
my firmware is m33-2. I tried all the emu and it’s for a slim. I see icons but none will work.
That’s only the version of the CFW, but we need the numbers that go before M33-X. Also, maybe you’re using the wrong emulators (designed for 1.50 kernel instead of 3.XX kernel), or placing them in the wrong folders. Let us know that data and we’ll be able to help you.
Taito: Most people go for 3.71 M33 and others for 3.52 M33; there are even some that live and would die for their unmodified 1.50. Personally, I’m at 3.80 M33 and besides the small reduction of speed on some MS readings, I haven’t had any problems with it yet.
I just updated to 3.71M33-4. I have a slim psp. I used the easy emu installer found here:
When it didn’t work, I rebooted psp holding R and went into configure and changed it to 1.50. Re-installed all the emus and still wouldn’t work. Then I tried installing them manually one at a time. I have a real MS and I can see the icons. I can get iso’s working but not the emus.
fuck! I just accidently deleted ALL of my tekken DR data :sad:
is wipeout pulse gonna have online play? sorry for double post
Okay so if I get a big memory card AND that battery Taito posted, will I still be able to play old PSP games? I was kinda looking forward to God of War: Chains of Olympus.
Yes it does but man does it suck -_-;
Please elaborate.
Been trying to get the PSP running on my laptop screen through the USB connection with RemoteJoySDL.
It goes, but REALLY SLOWLY. And it slows down the PSP too. How do I speed it up? Do have to Speed up my USB connection somehow. Hows it done?
I’m on the latest custom firmware and my comp specs are:
Acer
mobile AMD Sempron
792MHz
640 RAM
(what it says in my system properties tab
*edited to make clearer hopefully
wtf that’s a computer?
I never knew you could have 792 mhz and 640 ram…
Yes, custom firmwares give you all the functionality of official firmwares. They act 100% exactly like standard firmwares, until you take advantage of its extra features (like overclocking, snapshots, themes and of course homebrew). There’s no loss with CFs, only gains.
Nice. I’ll definitely be looking into this real soon.
Just as I thought, those are emulators designed for the Fat PSP, so they run on 1.50 kernel, which you can’t use, because you have a Slim. This has an easy solution, though. First, change the setting you previously changed to 1.50 back to 3.71. Then go to http://dl.qj.net/Emulators-PSP-/catid/111, and start looking for the emulators that you want (search for the ones that say 3.xx, those are specifically made for the Slim) and try those instead.
Hope that it works!
CptMunta: You can change the PSP speed in the boot menu (holding R while you turn on your PSP) or in the VSH menu (while in XMB, press Home).
DeathReaper: As Taito said, there are no losses when changing to Custom Firmware, only gains. Besides, as soon as a new official version is released, usually less than a week passes before it gets decrypted and its CFW version is released.
Oh, and I really liked Wipeout Pulse infrastructure mode.
