hey guys, im really new to this psp stuff, but a guy from sony modded my psp, I am not sure which CFW he put on it(or how to find out for that matter) but ever since I told my psp to enable flash player and it connected to the internet I can not boot PSP ISO's this really sucks since I was in the middle of god of war :-(, anyways I was wondering if you guys could tell me how to find out which custom firmware I had, so maybe I could reload it onto my psp and fix the problem, or if there is another way to fix the problem that would be awesome to,

thanks in advance

For a start, go to the XMB (The menu when you switch on the PSP) and go across to Settings, scroll down to System Settings, then second from bottom i think it is it says System Information. Click on that and could you tell us what it says the 'System Software' is, cause this is the firmware

And a guy from SONY DID IT!?

is it a slim or phat?

to find out you cfw version go to setting ----> system settings ----> system information and it will tell you there

if its god of war you where playing then it will be 3.71m33, 3.80m33 or 3.90m33

if it does say something like 3.71m33 without a -2,3,4 then you can install a patch that might fix the problem

all so did you enable flash through the recovery mode if so you might have change the iso drivers

if you have 3.71m33 + just press select and a small screen will pop up go to no-UMD and change that to m33 see if that fixes it 0_<

hope that all helps

it is phat and the firmware is 3.90 M33-2

and I just changed it to M33 and it fixed it :-) thanks for the speedy reply guys everyone here at afterdawn are so helpful, just for future reference, is it ok if sony releases an update for me to update my firmware, or will that erase the CFW and make it OFW, and if a new CFW is released is it easy to update and how would a go about doing that?

cfw is simple to update and you wont need to update yours for a long time because it is the most up to date

dark alexs is the cfw maker keep posted on psp web sites for his name any thing with his name in means that something new is coming out 0_<

4.00 will be then next likely update from sony but wait about a month and dark alex will have decrypted it and fix it to work with homebrew and all the stuff that makes the psp so good 0_<

hope that helps 0_<

Thankfully, Dark_Alex (the main guy behind M33/ Custom Firmware) Added the option from 3.80M33 onwards to update to CFW instead of OFW when clicking on the UPDATE on the Menu. To make sure this is turned on (to avoiding updating to OFW) Go to the recovery menu, Go to configuration, and check that 'Use M33 Network Update' is on.

Once its on, you can just use the network update in the XMB to keep updating to CFW =)

Your not bugging, its what we're here for :D

3.90 M33 POPS won't work with Final Fantasy 7, so you need to use 3.71 M33 POPS for it

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/628073 This is a great guide, i used it to play FF7 and had no problems after that :D
