The last time I upgraded my firmware on my fat PSP was to 3.4OE. I just tried running the .iso for Gran Turismo and obviously from a little searching it doesnt work.
I tried clicking a few threads on the subject and I nearly evacuated my bowels at the amount of conflicting information on the subject.
Question... Are there any "Easy Installers" for the firmware that we need to play GT? If so, Link?
One thread with instructions/links would be EPIC.
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

OK troll...Pop quiz time.
1) Where might the OP find an actual thread that you claim is "al over this forum" pertaining to his/her question? Did you direct them to anywhere in particular, or is this just another one of your 'helpful' replies?
2) DO you even know how one would manually update their psp from 3.40OE-A to a firmware version capable of the game in question?
I am willing to bet not.
We will anxiously await your return so as the knowledge dropping can commence...

To play all the games, you will need at least 5.00m33-6 (and the correct patched game), the latest firmware is 5.50genB2
So - from 3.40 you will need to upgrade to 3.52 (search for 3.52m33 eboot)
Then 5.00m33 Eboot
Once on 5.00m33 you have 2 choices, go up to 5.00m33-6 ( look for the upgrade eboot) and look for specifically patched games
or
Go to 5.50genb2 and all patched games will work, I am now on this and since they have sorted out the homebrew I notice very little difference to M33 firmware.
To go to 5.50gen google XGen installer V.2
After upgrading you will need to set the recovery settings as it will not play .iso files till you do
Forgot to mention - all your save files will not work (major changes at 3.52) I believe there is a converter to get them working but I have not needed it.

If you have nothing of value don't post. Plus you need to ditch the lazy and annoying text speak. Plus you need to sort out the signature - allowed signature sizes are with the other Forum Rules in my signature.
edit- i've since found that ALL your 'posts' are garbage, even more incoherent and a downright waste of screen space.

^^ That won't work if the OP is still running 3.40OE-A, we will need to get them up to that point first.
OK snoodge-Here we go....
I think you will find *THIS* most helpful...Scroll down to where it says "How to Reflash/update Firmware (Semi-Bricked/1.50 PSP Users See Here)"
From there you may use the program found *HERE* to jump to 5.50GEN-B2)
Done.
P.S. Should you choose to go the 5.50GEN-B2 route, then go ahead and follow the link that Mickoz74 provided for the decrypter....

I reckon you should just get to 5.0 m33-6 and then stop, theres no point going any further untill a new m33 comes out. Anyway its much more stable than gen and just generally better as you dont have to convert saved games etc. so yer just get to 5.0 m33-6 then if the games doesnt work you should just decrypt it, it will be easy to find a guide on how to do this but here is the one i used: http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/f133/videotutorial-how-to-play-games-that-require-5-t247791/
just scroll down abit to where it says:
Quote:
Decrypting 5.55+ games to work on 5.00 M33 or 5.03 MHU using Yoshihiro decrypter V4
then youll be laughing, but follow the post's above ^^ to get to 5.0 m33-6, then its alll downhill form there, good luck on this epic journey lol i just finished it and im playing all these new games witthout changing my firmware to gen a/b2
