I'm deployed to Iraq right now... and my Phat Psp finally bit the dust... (to many trips to the desert).....

I replaced it with a Silver 2001 PSP..... I bought it used from a guy that had already upgraded the OFW to 5.02... I used the chickHEN mod and then used the CFW enabler... I downloaded UMDumper to back up the few UMD's I have with me...

Out of the 10 or so that I've copied.... 3 or 4 of them are dumped with some sort of Japanese symbol in the title!... and what I've noticed... is that these games won't work! They're also the newer games.. Like Need for Speed Carbon.... is that some sort of hack proof programming? Anyone else experience this?

Also... none of my older games that I backed up on my Phat PSP will work on my newer PSP... like when I load my Grand Theft Auto VCS ISO onto my memory card it won't play... Which sucks because I left the UMD back home... Why won't it play? Is it because I backed it up on a different PSP and it won't play on the newer model?

Thank you for your help!

Did you change the UMD ISO mode to either M33 Driver or Sony NPP90? Hit select in the XMB to do that.

Yes I changed it to Sony NPP90... and most games that I have dumped with this current PSP works (except the japanese symbol ones)

But none of the dumps from the older PSP will work.

My memory stick is a 8GB SanDisk memory stick....

Also... PSPident tells me it's a TA-88 V2 motherboard... I looked it up on one of the compatibility charts... and it says "yes" it's moddable... but "no" it won't work with a pandora battery.... can I ever mod this permenately.... or since it's been upgraded to OFW 5.03 am I restricted to just the chickHEN stuff like I've been doing?

have you tried using the hellcat's recovery flasher v1.6 ?

cant post a link yet but google is your friend.

I'm pretty sure that it will work for you as long as you can get chikHEN to run.
I've never used it but heard it talk about a lot on here and theres alot of info if you search for the recovery flasher
Search this site for ("hellcat's recovery flasher" hen guide) and look for thread " Modding your Psp " great guide
hope it helps

The 'no' to pandora means in cannot MAKE a pandora, 88v2's are fully hackable.

Have you tried renaming some of the backups? Sometimes helps me...
