Is it supposed to take long to load? is there anyway to get past this forever loading screen? i am on fw 3.52 M33 - 3.

Moved to mod & firmware forum :)

Update to the latest cfw balkie16 - 3.90 m33-2. It's a newer game so it probably needs higher cfw.

that is the place i found the link. its just that im kinda nervious. it looks like im about to update to official 3.8 and not 3.8m33 because after running the program from psp and presssing x to start the update, it goes to what looks like an official 3.8 update? can anyone confirm itll install 3.8m33 ? is there a downgrader for 3.8 offcial fw? just incase in the end official 3.8 fw gets installed.

Hmmm - I haven't used it but from what 07anto07 you should be good on getting cfw and not ofw.

If by some very slim chance you did get ofw you would need pandora battery & a magic memory stick to get custom firmware back.

Here's another guide & installer - link
Scroll down to the section for 3.52 m33

Cool and you're welcome balkie16!

FYI - now that you are on 3.80 m33 you can use the network update on the psp to update to the latest custom firmware. New feature in 3.80 m33 and it's set by default to that option.

@JinWei
Set umd mode to the Sony NP9660 driver.
I'm running 3.90 m33-2 and no problems w/ this game.

Maybe a bad rip (?)

Thanks Binkie. That worked for me too.

Would you happen to know if thats the best setting to use for all games or do some games require different like maybe M33- no umd

You're welcome nemesees
The Sony NP9660 driver seems to work the best for me - I have yet to have a problem with it.
