ive done a lot of research

skaroger867 · 09-27-2007, 09:27 PM

so ive read a lot of threads and guids to doing all thing hacking and man is my brain crammed!!

so i was wondering with 1.5 if i use devhook (?) that i can run emulators and play games from a memory card, but can i play ps1 games??

also i read some of upgrading 1.5 to 3.25 m33 and i downloaded some eboot file (i believe and a video with babies flashing psp, dont ask) and what is the main benfit of upgrading to the 3.25 m33? and could i downgrade if i wanted? and do i need a pandora battery if i have 1.5 and upgrade?

lets say i do upgrade, would i just copy the emulator files like it says in the read me or is their more to it? and for the ps1 games how do i run thoes?? i have the image file (i believe its an image?)

thought you said you had done a lot of research?

Firmware 1.50 can run emulators and homebrew without the use of devhook. Devhook is a homebrew application which basically works as a firmware loader/emulator for the PSP. You need it if you want to play a game (e.g. Tekken: Dark Resurrection) which needs higher firmware to run. You get to use features in the firmware you're emulating. Unfortunately, the built-in PSX emulator will not work with devhook.

The main benefit of installing custom firmware is that you get to use features in new firmware but retain the capability of running homebrew. That includes PSX emu.

You don't need a Pandora battery. But it will come in handy if you accidentally brick your PSP or something.

There are several programs that will convert PSX disc images to PSP compatible format. Just do a google search for popstation.

i did do research stan but their is a lot of info out there.

so if i upgrade to the 3.25 i can play the ps1 games once the image is converted?

3.52 M33-4 not 3.25

ilovejedd · 09-27-2007, 10:35 PM

It's 3.52 M33-4. At least that's the latest with full homebrew. I believe 3.02 OE-B onwards will let you play converted PSX games.

I agree, there is so much information out there that usually, verification is needed to check if you're assimilating it correctly.

hmm i dont know if i downloaded m33-4 or not it just said m33.

ilovejedd · 09-27-2007, 11:24 PM

M33-4 is just an update to M33 to fix some bugs. You need to have 3.52 M33 installed before you run the M33-4 update eboot.

skaroger867 · 09-27-2007, 11:57 PM

oh ok so i install the m33 first. lol i didnt even notice ive been typing it wrong, ive been staring at the screen all day. where can i get the m33-4 update and do i just put it on the memory card and run it ?

read this

honestly that should be stickied but its not

spleblem · 09-28-2007, 01:02 AM

yeah firmware tuts don't get stickied
because a new firmware will come out soon and then it would have to be un-stickied and the new one would need to be stickied
usually the firmware upgrade tutorial stay pretty high up in there
board anyway.

soonk · 09-28-2007, 01:23 AM

is it that hard to sticky and unsticky accordingly? idk w/e i guess would just make it easier for new ppl looking for the most current thing.

spleblem · 09-28-2007, 01:33 AM

yeah i would might make it easier
but most new people don't even look at stickies
loads of noobs are all ways asking how to downgrade.
and there is a stickied downgrade thread.

skaroger867 · 09-28-2007, 02:26 AM

im still not sure if im going to upgrade to 3.52 m33 or not. i should get the psp tomorrow or saturday, at the latest monday. then i think ill know by then. lol. im gonna discuss it with my friend tomorrow. he knows a little about modding. tho it seems the 3.52 m33 would just be the best, lol. if i can make a pandora battery ill probably go for it so i can play the newer games and psx games. i cant get autopostation to convert my iso, what should i do???
