Hello! im new here but il try to explain myself well, some years ago i bought a psp in china, got it cracked(or whatever you call it :P) down there. Now when i try to play my UMD games (just bought star wars battlefront - renegade squadron) i cant start it, and i get error code 80020148 i have heard of people having this problem when trying to play ISO and so on, but not when trying to play an UMD.

I have restored default settings, and i software 3.10 OE-A

anyone got tips?

and yes iknow there are related topics, but i couldnt find none about this specific

best regards from dstb

the problem is your software does not support the game, normally you could update from the umd but not in your case. also if you bought the psp in china, and you are trying to play a game from i suppose the usa, the region code is different. your best bet would be update the system firmware to gen d3 and get the iso for the game you want to play, or i'm not sure but you may be able to spoof from the gen recovery to make the system think its from the usa.

i tried the "Installing 3.52 Custom Firmware on an OE or a M33 PSP:" from the sticky thread at the top, (as i have 3.10 OE-A) wich is some kind of homebrew? if im correct

i do everything as it say, but i start the 352 m33 firmware creator, it says "loading 3.52 firmware... file 352.PBP couldn`t be opened.

i exit the creator (cos your supposed to run the second program/update then) a second file has come up, but it says "corrupted data"

any idea as to what i did wrong?

and thank you again for helping me :)

3.10oe-a > 3.52m33-6 > 5.00m33-4 > 5.50 GEN-D3 this is the posted method.

update to 3.52 M33
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1210 (there is a readme included in the download)
When this is done, update to 5.00 M33
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1570
Then 5.50 GEN-D3
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1873

550.PBP is in the download, you should copy it to the root of your stick. if that does not work, put it in the same folder as your update. but it is supposed to work off of the root.

thanks guys, that worked! :D got 5.50 GEN-D3 now, BUT! as my problem in the first place was that i could not play new UMD games, while having the 352, and 371 and 500 that i upgraded to, the UMD then worked, but now with the 5.50 it does not work anymore... any idea why? as problem was that my firmware was to old, but this is the one most up to date, so why wont it work?

but im getting close to the goal now :P

you have to do a restart, meaning the psp has to be turned off completely, take the battery out and put it back is the easiest way. when you turn it on, hold in the right trigger button. this will bring up the recovery menu.
