Alright, I gave it a try, since I own DQ7 (Maybe I'll get around to beating it this time).

You want to grab Popsdeco's poploader, just replace your old popscore.prx and popsloader.prx with the ones in the dist folder. And if you haven't already extracted the popsloader modules from the various OFW, Popsdeco has also made a tool for that.

I got DQ7 working on 6.60 Pro-B9, with 3.52 pops. Working text windows and all.

How did you create your EBOOT? Because that's the only thing I can think that's causing the problem here. The windows work, like you say, but I have no sound.

ImpalerPSX. If you have no sound, try ripping the game again. Did you originally do .iso? Try a .cue & .bin instead.

Right, thanks for that.

I am still a little wary, though, because the PSP is so new. Don't I need to downgrade at all? I had to format the memory card, but there's no PSP/Game/UPDATE folder. There's just game/ on its own. Should I do the 6.39 update to get an UPDATE folder?

No need to downgrade the PSP, as it's already where you need it. I bought a brand new PSP 3000 about a week ago and everything went like a charm.

In the OP skip down to 'Actual installation of Pro-B whatever.'

If you want a permanent install, you'll want to downgrade to 6.20. But first, throw this on your PSP, and make sure it doesn't report a 07g or 09g. If it does, you can't use 6.20.

Not really a big deal, if you can't though. All you'd miss out on is the perma patch, which saves about a few seconds of work a week (If you use sleep mode a lot).

Great, thanks for that. It appears putting it in UPDATE causes it to report Corrupted Data.

So the module is 09g.

This means I cannot downgrade.

So what I'm gonna do is put the 6.39 CFW into the GAME folder, yes?

When I tried with just the plain 6.39 CFW folders, it gave 4 options in the game psp menu:

Corrupted data
CIPL flasher
Fast recovery
Update

When I tried the update option, it just went to a black screen that said "Sorry, this program is not compatible with your FW."


edit--Got it to work after doing the first update again.

Now it said that the CFW was installed successfully.

...Though it's back to the main psp menu screen again. Did I miss something?

I think I got it to work now.

I ran the 6.39 update again.

Then placed all the 6.39 PRO-B9 files into the GAMES folder.

Accessed it in the PSP menu.

The black screen menu came up.

I pushed L, lots of installation text came through. It said "push X to launch CFW"

Pushing X gives me a message that says "now restarting in PRO-B."

Then puts me back to the PSP menu.

It says system software 6.60 PRO-B9 in the settings.

If I restart the psp, it just goes back to Version 6.60 in the settings.

edit--Ah, finally got it to work, had to use the recovery menu. Now the menu comes up with select.

Thanks to SnakesRevenge and vkeios for their advice. Got it all now.

I'm going to destroy the NES emulatorsssssssss aghhh, can't get them to work.

Loaded FCEU and it either freezes whenever I choose a ROM or it throws the cursor to the top of the menu. As for NesterJ? It's a mess of folders and there are dozens of instructions online that seem to contradict each other as to where to put the ROMs, or to delete a specific file, etc.

Anybody have a simple, easy to follow guide they can post? For background, I'm running 5.50 Promethius and have no problem getting the SNES emulator to work.


edit: Nevermind, I got it. Followed some guy's youtube video and adjusted the config file and it's working now.

You should link the youtube just in case someone stumbles across this thread and has the exact same problem! It happens to me all the time and for all sorts of things. I usually Google a problem that I'm having and I'll find an old thread like this where someone posts the exact same symptoms and then a "nvm fixed it" follow-up.

I've probably missed it in here somewhere and it's totally dumb and obvious but I just can't get ISO's working. Do I have to...package them in a different way or something? I put them in the PSP -> GAME folder but they don't even seem to show up at all.

TollTheHounds posted:

So if I don't have an ISO folder already ( straight up in the root, not under /PSP right? ) I just create it? It sounds like it's supposed to be there already after re-reading the OP's...I created it manually anyway just to do it but still don't know where to access them via the XMB, or is it supposed to have an "ISO" icon along with Game/Video/etc?

Anyone have any ideas? Any ISO I throw into any folder just shows up as "corrupted data". I've got the UMD ISO Mode set to "Inferno" as is suggested but I'm not sure that that is even relevant if I can't even view the ISO itself.

Exactly. Run the Fast Recovery which boots you into PRO firmware since you probably don't have it installed (Can you even install it on a Go?). You shouldn't have a problem running the ISOs once you do this.

The Fast Recovery should be under the Games menu right by where you ran the PRO installer.

Some good news for PSP-3000 09g owners. Thanks to Davee, you can downgrade to OFW 6.20. Which means they can be permanently patched now.

One small caveat though, Davee bricked a psp when working on it. So you might wanna wait a day or two to make sure there's nothing wrong with his downgrader.

Just to clarify, CloneCD is the one you used? And when you did the Pops extraction with Popsdeco's tool, did you have to extract each Pops or will extracting just 3.52 work?

I have a pre-US release PSP running 5.00 M33, can I just download the 6.20 PRO B9 and flash it as is without having to do any special prep-work?

I think I'm in a similiar situation. I have a PSP 3000 which says it's on 5.03 on the system settings panel.
I can flash it to 5.00 M33, but the flash isn't permanent, I have to redo the scrolling through images thing everytime I switch it off completely and that kind of bothers me.

So, if I update to 6.20 OFW, can I then go to 6.20 PRO B9 and have it flashed permanently?
I just want to play some NES from time to time and it's aggravating to do the ChickHEN thing over and over again.

Download the 6.20 firmware installer, put it on your PSP, install it, put Pro-B9 and the fast recovery on your PSP, run Pro-B9, and then remove everything but the fast recovery.

Signed homebrew is brilliant—I've just been playing FCE Ultra on OFW 6.37 and had no idea until yesterday that such a thing was even possible.

Signed homebrew doesn't work that well with emulators. You really need to go on a CFW. I think the reason is that signed homebrew doesn't have the ability to run from the kernal or something or another. Essentially it can't use the hardware to its full potential like it can if it was running on CFW.

FYI, signed NesterJ seems to work flawlessly on OFW. I have no idea if this applies to any other emulators (haven't tried them yet), but NesterJ at least seems to work as well as any NES emulator I've used.
