Hi
Please be gentle with me, as i am new to the psp world.
we bought our daughter one from a well known site (it's pink :0)
system software 3.40 OE-A
We bought her a game petz. tried it and it needs updating and from reading everywhere, it sounds like this is a well known error. our problem is how do we update the psp so she can play her game she's only 7 so she is limited to her choice of games
update needed 5.3 for the game to work
plz can you help us
The firmware you have at the moment is one of the earlier firmwares created by a very intelligent Spanish teenager called Dark_AleX, he's the one that's created nearly every custom firmware for the PSP.
Custom firmwares are firmwares that are altered versions of ones Sony has released, but with added features and the ability to run all sorts of things Sony doesn't want you to (homebrew, emulators, ISOs and CSOs etc), and so for this reason, official Sony firmwares are seen as inferior - Dark_AleX created the DADADADA error to stop people from accidentally updating to an official firmware.
You need to upgrade to another custom firmware - I'm on my iPod Touch at the moment so I'll find you links to newer firmwares later when I'm on a PC.
