Guys,

You have to have a game UMD - a movie UMD will not work - I have tried this and thought I would share this info - avoids any of you having to buy and return a UMD movie - just get a game UMD and then will be ok.

Guys, i solved all of our problems, just make your PSP 2.71 SE-B. It makes sure that ISO games requiring firmware 2.81 and under can be run without a UMD in the drive. I never relized it but i have a 2.71 SE-B and that is why i can play Pirates of the Carribean w/o a UMD.

GUIDE #1..... HOW TO INSTALL HEN AND DEVHOOK ON A TA-082 FW2.71 PSP

GUIDE #2..... HOW TO PLAY ISO/CSO

PART #3...... Other reminders, Credits, How-To-Use and links

PART #4...... FUTURE UPDATES/IMPROVEMENTS (1)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUIDE #1:

HENC is homebrew enabler. This handy app lets you use the devhook launcher for your TA-082 motherboard fw 2.71 PSP. It will let you emulate/boot fw 1.5 on your PSP. Instead of a fw1.5 PSP emulating/booting the fw 2.71, you are able to do the opposite. It will not matter if you have a ta-082 motherboard or not.As long as it's fw 2.71


REMINDER:THIS WILL NOT BRICK YOUR PSP OR YOUR TA-082 PSP.. THERE IS NOT EVEN A LITTLE CHANCE..THOUGH YOUR PSP HAS TO BE A 2.71 FOR THIS GUIDE TO WORK. PLEASE REMEMBER TO REPLY IF THIS GUIDE HAS HELP U ALOT.

PLEASE DON't ASK QUESTIONS RELATED TO SOMTHING LIKE THIS>>>>

1.Are u shure my psp going to be ok?
YES, it will be ok.
2.Will it brick my 2.71 ta-082?
NO, it will not brick your 2.71 motherboard/ta-082
3.Will it work with a ta-082?
Yes it will work perfectly as long as it is a 2.71 fw psp


IF U DO NOT HAVE A FIRMWARE/VERSION 2.71 PSP FOLLOW STEPS FROM 1. TO 43. TO CHECK WHAT FW U HAVE PLEASE READ #47.

IF YOUR PSP IS ALREADY ON FW/VERSION 2.71..START FROM 11.TO 43.


In this tutorial you'll find words/phrases that some of you might not know.here is wat i call 'kinda dictionary'

1.Hard reset
To hold the power switch up for 4-8 seconds.
2.ROOT menu
The ROOT menu of your psp memory stick is where your folder PSP and MP-ROOT is located.
3.MS
MS means memory stick.
4.FW
This means firmware which is another word for version.
5.thx
this means Thanks or Thank you.
6.Keavalro
This is not a 'thing',Kealvalro is a member of this site like me.
7.Link(s)
A link is something you can simply click on with your cursor and it will bring you to the site that you clicked on
8.Homebrew
Homebrew is like what you are trying to do right now. Downloading games for psp,apps, or 'hacks'.


GUIDE STARTS HERE

1. Download the fw 2.71 update here http://dl.qj.net/Firmware-2.71-PSP/pg/12/fid/8046/catid/163

4.Make a new folder called UPDATE

5.Now drag the firmware update into UPDATE

8.Now you should have a 2.71 psp, to make shure go to SETTINGS>>>SYSTEM SETTINGS>>>SYSTEM INFORMATION

9.Connect the usb

10.You can now delete the 2.71 firmware update

11.NOw download HENC with devhook in this all in one download here http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/879 . REMINDER:[/bold] Henc works ALOT better when you have a background installed on your 2.71fw psp instead of the normal background with the moving lines.

13.Extract the folder u just downloaded with this
http://www.filepedia.com/desktop_softwar...ools/winrar.cfm

14.Now open it

15.REMINDER[i]: NOW DO EXACTLY AS THIS GUIDE SAYS

16.In that folder double click on HENC-DEVLAUNCHER271

17.your should see a folder named MS_ROOT

18.open it

19.Save all your saved games and important stuff that u dont want to delete on your desktop.

20.now overwrite all the things on your psp ms with all the things that are in MS_ROOT folder

30.Disconnect your usb cable

31.Hard reset your psp

32.Now go view your pictures and you should see a picture called HENC

33. Click on it and your psp screen should turn blue then green but if not try again. if it only turns blue then thats ok also. just as long as it restarts your psp after.

34.Now go to your games (where u go to update your psp) and choose devhook launcher for fw2.71

35.There should now be a black screen with a purple box in the middle

36. This is devhook

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUIDE #2

Ahhh, ISO.. One of the best things you can hope to do with your PSP... ISO is a type of format that lets you play on your PSP..Or in other words, download PSP games to your PSP. There is a simple few steps to do this after you have installed your HENC and devhook.


GUIDE STARTS HERE

1.Download The ISO/CSO you want from anywhere. I suggest you download a Torrent.

2. In the ROOT of your memory stick make a new folder called ISO

3. Drag the ISO/CSO into that folder

4. Now boot up HENC

5.Now boot up Devhook

6.Now for the fw, choose 2.71

7.Then while you are still on devhook, click on UMD SELECT

8.choose your ISO or CSO that you have downloaded

9.press start

YOU ARE NOW FINISHED GUIDE #2

Other REMINDERS, Credits,How-To-Use and Links:

REMINDERS and How-To-Use:

1.To return to your original fw2.71 when in 1.5, hard reset your PSP.if you put it on sleep mode it will still be a 1.5

2.If i miss a step just tell me and i will fix it as soon as possible

3.If you have ANY questions to ask about any of this, feel free to ask.If i cannot reply or have no answer to your questions hopefully someone else will answer for you.

Installed HENC-DVELAUNCHER271 to the Memory stick tried to run HENC and at first it goes to the blue screen and just switches itself off,no reboot.now as soon as i goto photo/henc it just freezes and switches itself off.

When i try too run devhook from my stick i get a error coming on screen saying "the game could not be started (80020148)".

Anyone know how to get this up n running as i have medal of honour heroes on iso format and want to give it try.

Basically i have done all the update and put HENC DEVLAUNCHER etc onto his psp i have also downloaded a cso file lego starwars for him but i am a bit stuck when i get to the part 2 guide do i have to format the ms on the psp again BEFORE loading the iso/cso file into the iso folder? or do i just load it straight to the iso folder already in the psp from the downgrade to fw 1.50?
Would appreciate some help
Many thanks
Chris

Maybe this will help.

1. Take UMD out of UMD drive (if there is one in)
2. Boot HenC
3. Boot Devhook (choosing firmware 2.71 **not the flash version)
4. Select ISO/CSO you want to play, then press start.
5. There should be a red anime screen.
6. Insert any UMD (other than a movie)
7. scroll over to where the UMD is accesible. There should be a picture for your iso. Just click it and it should play the ISO. (in your case a CSO)

P.S. i cant believe im a 13 year old helping a dad :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


updates are not permanent, however, models are. A TA-082 PSP has some security patches that will not let 1.5 fw be used, it lets it be emulated tho. This guide is for TA-082 PSPS only. You can check by opening the UMD drive, look around, if u see no yellow letters then it is TA-081, if you see yellow letters like IC-007 or something, it is a TA-082 model. I believe there are forums with pictures to help you.
