Many thanks!

You might try this post HERE Download the attachment and follow directions on the post. This will install 3.80m33-5, from there it is an easy upgrade to 4.01m33-2. This is a real quick and simple way to make a magic memory stick and it works on XP or Vista.

There is another way to make the memory stick to go straight to 4.01m33-2, but there is no guide and I'll have to walk you thru it on IM.

great guide But I have firmware v4.05 on my psp and can not seem to downgrade or get anything to work with this version. I have all these cso's and iso's downloaded and nowhere to put them. HELP! please?!

[Gandalf]

The problem is that you have an official firmware PSP and can not run these programs. They are designed for lower version custom firmware to manually upgrade.

From the start of the guide:

"Requirements for the update:-
A psp (fat or slim) on custom firmware v3.52m33-4 or above. See the below note (1) if your psp is on v3.51m33-7 or below."




The only way you have to put custom firmware on your PSP is to use a Pandora Battery AND a magic memory stick.

Yes i had the same problem a few days back and Gandalf gave me some great advice. If you read some of my queastions over the last few posts you will find what your looking for. Indeed i had a PSP on version 4.01 so i also needed a Pandoras battery, again somebody has even posted a link to a site where you can get one at a very good price including a 4gig stick. Then just take it from there when you need to change the firmware. It's well worth doing as you have iso's and cso's to play. Off to play my PSP hope you sort it m8!

Tried to find answers on this thread (seen those other guys getting helped).

What version of pspcomics are you running??

If it is one for the phat(older version, has 2 folders with one having a % sign on it) then it will not work on the slim and you need to get one that is made for the slim or the 3.xx kernel.

Check your post in the pspcomic thread.

when i run the 401. on the game it said
"Un packing done" 401.bpb doesnt exit do u want to down load from the internet .X=yes R=no. should ilest it down load?? my firmware currently at 3.89M33.3 i already extract the folder update to /psp/game and remane 401eboot to 401.bpb. pls help thx

[oldgit9]

when you go and rename the eboot. it should look like this "401.pbp" (without the quotations). if that doesn't work, then rename the eboot to "401" (without the quotations) and try again.

or you could download the file form the server. but as you already have it, there is no point.
