need help upgrading my psp 3.03 OE -C to the most updated version

[mongy26]

Hi,

I might be one of the last people in the world who still have a lower version on their psp. It has been years since i've last played and now that I am interested to play again, it seems like i have to updgrade it to a higher version of firmware so that i can play latest games that came out. I have a 3.03 OE -C and i'm hoping to find some answers on how i should go about it and where i can get files needed.

I have a seen a couple of forums about the same query but it has been dated 2 years back. After reading a lot of guides i still don't have the right steps on how to do it and am confused on on how i should go about it. i hope someone could provide me with the a step by step walkthrough so i can start to upgrade my psp.

would really appreciate ur assistance.

thanks.

Yeaaahhhh you should try using Google I think you need to get to 3.71M33-4 first though, but I'm not entirely sure.

thanks for that quick respnse! now i have 3.52 m33. it seems that i have to 3.52 m33 upgrade 4 but the link he provided is not working. Was wondering is there any sequence that i have to follow or can i just go ahead and download and upgrade my firmware to the latest version?
If i have to do it from one version to another what version must i have to play games tekken 6?

from 3.52 you can just run the regular 5.00m33-6 update, then to get to play tekken 6 I believe you have to upgrade to 5.50GEN D2, but there's a thread on it somewhere so look for that

[mongy26]

ok. so can i just go ahead and upgrade to 5.50 GenD2?

5.00M33-6 -> 5.50 Gen-D -> 5.50 Gen-D2

actually the phats need at least the 3.52m33-3 update to do so...i edited the updater for it, but here's the link i got there now so you don't have to return to that guide unless you need to...sorry about that, 1st time hearing it's not working and i confirmed it myself...edited.

edit...and once you do update to 3.52m33-4, you can use that guide still since it does get you to m33-6 and even to D2.

This is exactly what I thought...

it is correct and the slims i believe have to go up in steps to use the m33-6 update method directly...hellcats is best bet

Yup thanks man

[mongy26]

still can't download PSP Downloads 3.52 M33-4 Update. it's saying that the helper application does not exist. Is it really necessary to go get this update before i proceed to 500 m33-6?

[thesexyone]

yeah but you can flash 5.00 m33 with a pandora / mms if have them

[goku2778]

lately there's been so many problems from people using helper apps to download, why?? try these links, other than that i have no idea why you can't download these...i just click them and it goes.
