So the HEN stuff works with the PSP Go, right? Are there only certain models that will work, or can you just walk into a store and buy any PSP Go and have it work?

There's only one type of Go, so it should work on any one.

With signed homebrew working now, finding a 2000 for full on-CFW might not be worth it any more. If you just looking at emulators and random stuff you should be fine with just a 3000 or Go.

I pretty much ignored the entire homebrew thing since I have a 3000 and generally updated the firmware, so what's these signed homebrews? They don't need custom firmware that I could never install? They don't need the HENs which seemed like a pain in the rear end to get running and also still play games off of UMDs?

Does this mean I can finally emulate NES/SNES while leaving my UMD games intact?

They work for a lot of things, but I don't know if there are any signed SNES/NES emulators. The current HEN is really easy to use, though, since it CAN be signed, so you just run it and away you go into homebrew heaven.

I don't have a psp yet, but I just want to check and make sure seeing as there seems to be some differences with the 1000, 2000, and 3000 models. It's really easy to find a 3000 model, and all I really want it for right now is playing my psx games while the girlfriend is using the tv already for netflix. Is it just a simple step-by-step as shown in the second post for every model?

The only extra step is you have to use the HEN or the new CFW (which is really just a glorified HEN) in the OP to run it.

Are the psn ps1 games optimized for the psp somehow, or are they just a repackaged iso?

They're a repackaged iso, since they need to work on psp and ps3. Any slowdown is probably present in the original game, since the emulator works really well.

Now that I have 6.35 pro-b on my psp:

-Is it possible, if I really want to, to just upgrade my firmware normally? My normal firmware is still there, but something was written to flash
-Is it possible to remove whatever was written to the flash so that it appears to be a normal psp?

It seems like there are some helpful 'how to' threads but there's a lot of 'stfu noob' and jargon-talk on the various forums.

Yes and yes. All that's written to the memory stick is a handful of files in the same folder as the HEN/CFW eboot, it's nothing that really changes anything, you can still use media go or a PS3 or whatever without it thinking something's wrong (other than out of date firmware)

So.. what can I do with my PSP? Nothing? That sucks.

Update to 6.20 or 6.35 and you can run what's essentially a HEN that can act as CFW. It's not as good as full on CFW, but you can play pretty much everything and not even have to worry about messing about to get PSN stuff to work!

Looks like the names of nine ADX files at the end of Odin.CPK. I don't know enough about monolithic files on the PSP to know if it's a manifest for external editors or an actual file table, so I don't know if you'd actually lose sound (potentially an improvement, depending on who lost it ).

It could be worse: In Kenka Bancho the missing data would have been part of the skillset editor.

I have a PSP1000 now that is slowly wearing out (damaged pixels, etc). I was thinking of getting a PSP3000 since it dropped in price. I also want to get it for the lighter weight, better screen, and the extra memory for homebrew. For those who already have one and using HEN, is it more difficult to use than a CFW? Or it's pretty much the same once it's loaded into memory?

I haven't used CFW, but there's really nothing difficult about it. I had more trouble finding plugins and what not that worked than setting them up.

I was just sent a 3000 in the mail today as an early birthday gift. It hasnt arrived yet so I'm unsure of the firmware on it but I know it came from best buy so I assume it's the latest or close too. Are the newest 3000's still limited as far as what can be done to them like the OP says?

Yes, If it's at or below 6.35 you can do quite a bit of homebrew now, but there's still a bit of stuff you can do on the latest firmware, like some emulators and stuff.

I tried to install the 6.35 HEN on my PSP, which I updated to 6.35. First, it just threw me back into the home screen. Then, I tried it with UMD Auto-Chart and UMD Cache off. That just resulted in my PSP shutting off while loading the installer.

What do I do?


Edit: Well, it turns out it was supposed to send me back to the first screen.
OH, HOW SILLY I WAS

Ditch the HEN, use pro-B instead. It's basically the same thing, only you can use CFW plugins.

HOW TO SET UP REMOTE JOY LITE FOR DUMMIES

This really isn't that hard, it's just got a lot of steps.

Step 1: Download this poo poo:
RemoteJoyLite files (right click -> save as)
6.35 PRO-B
6.35 PRO-B3

Unzip RemoteJoyLite.zip somewhere easy to find (you'll need it later), and keep the other files for the next step.

Step 2: Install 6.35 Pro-B2CFW
Make sure your PSP is at OFW (official Firmware) 6.35. You can check this by going into Settings -> System settings -> system information in the XMB. If it's below 6.35, update using one of these, depending on what PSP you have: Not a PSP Go or PSP Go.

[EDIT]I'm a little out of date in this section, but any of the PRO CFWs will work for this, just grab whatever works.

Got all that settled? Good. Now we get to installing CFW.

Plug in your PSP and go to PSP\GAME\

Go into that folder and unzip 6.35 PRO-B
Disconnect your PSP, go into Games -> Memory stick and run 6.35 PRO-B.

After it loads it will pop up a bunch of options, just mash X. Your PSP should appear to start as normal, but press select and you should see this:

If you can see this, everything worked fine. Restart your PSP, and plug it into your computer again.

Open the folder you just unzipped PRO-B to and place the PRO-B3 updater eboot in it. It should ask you if you want to overwrite the old one, click yes. Start it the same way as before, hit X a bunch again.

Step 3: Setting up your PSP
Make a folder on the root of the memory stick called seplugins, and put RemoteJoyLite.prx into this folder, and create a text document called "game" and put "ms0:/seplugins/RemoteJoyLite.prx 1" (without the quotes) in it. It should look something like this:

Copy this text file and rename a copy to VSH.txt, you can also do this again for game150 and pops, but that's optional.

Your folder should now look like this (without AdhocToUSB.PRX, that's another can of worms):


Step 4: Setting up your PC

Unzip the contents of RemoteJoyLite.zip anywhere. You should see 3 folders: Driver32, Driver64 and RMJv.19.
RMJv.19 contains a bunch of files:

The one highlighted in red should be in the seplugins folder in the last step. the other files in this folder are used to run the PC end of Remote Joy Lite. Put them wherever you want, and make a desktop shortcut to RemoteJoyLite_EN if you're into that kind of thing.

This is where things get a little more complex. The process changes depending on what version of windows you have.

Vista/7
Open up the start menu and type "hdwwiz" and hit enter. This will open the Add Hardware Wizard. Turn to step 4a.

XP
Open your start menu, select Control Panel, then choose Add Hardware.

Step 4a: You have died, return to page 46.
Click Next, then select "Search for and install the hardware automatically (Recommended)"


It should ask you if you know what hardware model you want to install, click next. Select "Show All Devices", and click Next again.
You should see this:

Click "Have Disk...", select browse, then find where you unzipped the Driver32 and Driver64 folders. If you are on 32-bit, select the file from Driver32, or do the one in Driver64 if you are on 64-bit. Not sure what you have? If you're on XP, it's almost certainly 32-bit, or you wouldn't be asking this question. On vista/7 open your start menu and right click computer. It should tell you in the system section.

Note for Windows Vista/7 users:
OH NO! A window might pop up saying that the driver is not Digitally signed (Sorry I don't have a screenshot of this, it only shows up when you're installing the first time)
Click the button that lets it install anyway. You may need to enable unsigned drivers to run RemoteJoyLite. To do this, restart your computer and mash F8 like a motherfucker until a screen offering safe mode and other fun poo poo is shown.

Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and you're good to go. Note that this will put a little watermark on your desktop because Microsoft are Jerks.

Step 5: Give it a go
Start RemoteJoyLite_en.exe
Fire up CFW, (or if it's already loaded, press select and choose "reset VSH") and you should be good to go! Keep in mind audio doesn't transmit, so you're stuck with the PSP speakers/headphones.

Why would you want to do this?

If it's on it can cause RemoteJoyLite to not work sometimes. I was having some issues and that's what was suggested to fix it, so I threw it in just in case.

E: I looked back at what it was and it was a different USB charging option in an older version of 6.35 PRO-B, I'll update the guide.

So does 6.37 completely lock out CFW, or is there any way to save a system that has gotten that far? I got the PSP Go before there were any prospects for CFW on it, and I don't remember when it got updated, but apparently it did.

There's a HEN that lets you do some basic stuff, and there's always a bunch of signed homebrew.

It won't let you connect, but you can transfer stuff with Media Go.
