im new at this. i read some of the information on this forum, but all the information confused me. There is only a few things i understood, but not even that well either. and i wasn't sure how to search this forum for the information i want to know, so i'm posting a thread instead.

- My firmware is 3.40, bought from Best Buy.

- It is IC1003 (don't know what that number is suppose to be for, just knew where to find it).

- I have a 2 gb magic gate scan disk that I got from Walmart.

- I don't know how to check the motherboard.

- I have no UMD disk.

- I formatted the memory stick already and have the original folders in place.

- I already made a ISO folder. (Just to be sure) It's when I added a new folder in the psp that accompanys the root and psp folders, and is not in either of one of them.

I want to play psp games off the memory stick. So, I want to know my options on how to do so. And what the type of file the game should be. Is psp games the only thing I can play on there.

If you bought it new/retail recently, then the only games you will be able to play are the ones you buy at the store =/

Try ebay next time.

If you have a copy of the Lumines game you can play games from your memory stick, otherwise you're stuck for now.

I'd explain the process, but if you don't have Lumines, then there's no reason for me to go further,

@hinshu-In order for you to play games from your memory stick you need to do the following:
1)Dont ever mention the word PSPBlender again, not even as a joke..Try scrapetorrent.com ( I just saved you the $37 they would have scammed you out of and its the same exact thing "they" use)
2)Get yourself a copy of the game Lumines-(Beg, steal, or borrow it.)
3)Use this to upgrade your psp to official 3.50 firmware
4)Once you have Lumines and have upgraded your fw to 3.50-use this in conjuction with Lumines to downgrade your psp to the magical version 1.50
5)Upon successfully downgrading to 1.50-you may then upgrade to a custom firmware such as this one to then play your pirated games...

If it sounds like a lot of work, thats because it is...But once you get there, you'll understand..

Good Luck-

wow. so the only way i can ever play pirated games is to downgrade it.

but how come the emulators and games are unassigned code? can't u just tamper with teh games instead, assigning it a code that psp understand. instead of dangerously messing with the psp that may brick it?

Thats right...Thats why you need the 1.50 firmware in order for your psp to understand the unassigned code..

yeah do what i did
i had a 3.11 and upgraded to 3.50 then bought limines and downgraded to 1.5> then to 3.40oe (my opinion the best cfw out there).
so to play iso games you either have to have the iso or the cso file. if your not familiar with both just pm me.
further more, with any cfw you can play homebrew, iso, mod it, ect.
if need help with downgrading just pm i'll help.

psp 1: 3.11>>3.50>>1.50>>3.40oe
psp 2: 2.71>>1.50>>3.40oe(semi-brick)>1.50>>3.40oe
psp 3: original 1.50 with cracked screen =[
