Look it has to work!

be sure that you made first 4 steps correctly and specialy the third and the fourth.

Quote:
1. Turn off the PSP fully ( holding the power button) and turn it on again whiling holding R.
2. Click on the USB connection
3. Copy the Recovery folder into the PSP/GAME folder. It should look like this : X:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP
4. After rename the 3.71 Eboot into 371.PBP. Put that in the Recovery folder you just copied.
be sure that you have enabled 1.50 kernal in recovery mode and not 4.01 kernal

I contact Hellcat about this problem. He says he is going to make an update and try to fix it. Hellcat also say that the update file could be corrupt. Try downloading it from here

i tried this and when i go to run the program through the recovery menu, it doesn't work. i press X then it blinks and then doesn't do anything. i tried redownloading the stuff, changing from the 1.50 kernel and the 3.90 kernel and it still doesn't work. i also have it in the right place.
