PSP 5.03 gen-c update problem please help!

[Ian_Dougall]

Hey, so im new at hacking PSP's, and tried to do it with my psp 2001 and im having some problems i need to fix

I had the 3.90 firmware and updated it to the 5.03 gen-c with Chickhen R2, then i installed prometheus 3 and exploit 503 or something like that

I downloaded ISO for KH Birth By Sleep and GOW Ghost of Sparta

I can run them now, but they dont save my progress, sometimes an error pops, or sometimes i can save but when i quit the game, there is nothing in save data utility.

That is one of the problems im having, the other one is that every time i turn off my psp and turn it on again, my system updtae remains in 5.03, not 5.03 gen-c, and to be able to run the games I have to install all the other programs again, maybe there is a way for them to remain the way they were before.

Not sure if i explained myself clearly, but i really need help, maybe I can format my psp and install everything again following steps by some of you? or post some thread explaining how to do it

Please help! thank you

I have only been into this for a few months as well. I'm not sure how to use ChickHen but I can give you a video on how to downgrade from 6.60 OFW straight to 5.00m33-6 without pandora or mms. It is safe and I did it just the other day

I ran into the same problem. The psp I got used had an old 3.40 oe-a cfw on it ... it ran the iso/cso but wouldn't save ... get hellcat's recovery flasher and use that to put 5.00m33-6 on it. The readme is pretty good in it you'll just need to download a couple files and run it ... no need for pandora battery and all that.

ps - or u could probably upgrade to the 5.55 cfw without the hellcat recovery flasher. Or even the 6.60 cfw but then some old homebrew and plugins don't work.
