Any clue to this???

[goku2778]

it was playing fine 2 hours ago...trying to play Resistance Retribution online (infrastructure) but every time it tries to connect (after it shows my playstation network id) it says "a system software update for the psp system is required"...wtf!?!? i have a phat, 5.00 m33-6 installed and then i tried Socom and it worked fine...
any ideas or anyone having this problem with R.R.??

update to my problem...Socom works fine, but i get the same message when trying to go to playstation network account management

Simply update to 5.50 GEN-A if all you play is pirated games.

thanks for the quick reply too and if there's a better version to download, much appreciated if you give the link thanks!

Just use that file you found. You also need the 5.50 eboot......

[Released] Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A - eXophase.com Forums Read it before you update.

[goku2778]

dude, now i can't even get into the playstation network, keep getting "A connection error has occurred (80550f17)" wth!?!

[Mitochondria]

Did you read [Released] Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A - eXophase.com Forums ? You messed up somehow. Anyways just reflash your firmware back to 5.00 M33 then upgrade back to 5.50 Gen-A

it's flashing now...i turned off all my plugins, put my custom theme back to normal, went to game folder and ran it. it loaded it up, restart itself and said it was 5.5...went to playstation network and kept getting that error. psp is done now, back to 5.00 m33-3
on that page you posted, i clicked on this link:
Download Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A build 4-A (Full)

Well only thing i can honestly think of is that your psp is deactivated again. You'll need to activate it again through a ps3 or playstation store via PC. You could try the "Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A build 4-A (Full)" Also the 5.50 eboot you download could be corrupted. Try downloading a new one.

[goku2778]

it's doing it to me now with 5.0 connection error...never had a problem, don't have a ps3 either, never even played one

do i need to rename anything???
i got EBOOT.PBP
and SCE.PBP

downloaded from your spot and another and got the same things

[goku2778]

tried to go to playstation network on my pc but the sign up page is under maintenance, so MAYBE that's the problem with that...??? idk, i'm going to be pissed if i can't get this going again
5.50 genA (full) is installed...didn't do the FIX download cause it says that's only for slims anyway. so i'll try again later on, maybe that's the connection error's cause to register on the psp...*shrugs shoulders*

[Mitochondria]

You know what...the 5.50 Gen-A Build 4 isn't what you need. This is it.

lmao!! bro i just got it all working again with what you originally hooked me up with lol...what should i do now?? cause it's all logged on again too to psn, should i downgrade again and reinstall what you just linked me to??? thanks for all the time and help so far

but it's working, loading R.R. right now to test it out...
edit: i'm online and in the lobby of resistance retribution right now!!!

[goku2778]

oh man! get one thing going and another goes wrong! now i can't play my ps1 games that i have and none of my emulators are working now!

what now must i do to get these, i'm googling but not finding my answers

[Mitochondria]

Make sure you renamed your folders and have the most to update emulators. As for PSX Games....you'll need the 5.50 gen-a popsloader. File Details-Popsloader-5.50GEN-PSP-Homebrew-Applications -

If that doesn't work, try a regular popsloader using the diff firmwares....

This is probably the reasons i never updated past 4.01 M33-2 w/ 1.5 kernel

[goku2778]

got the psx games working but the emulators need a 1.5 kernel to run them...that's the thing i'm stuck on now..
dude you're a huge help so far too!! thanks!
