hi guys i just wanted to know whats the chance my psps gets bricked by the new custom fw, the fw seems a great thing to be using.

ye but scares me from doing this is the fact that im going pakistan and i really wanna have a non bricked psp to play with over there, so im a bit over protective right now

edit; what i reckon booster should do is incorporate a custom fw emulation in his next devhook release, that would be amazing

The sig is back!

just to notify i have now done this and it worked perfectly, though with this custom fw the boot time is slower than usual,

btw anyone else who has tried this is it okay to remove the custom fw folder in x:psp/game

edit: legend m8, have u tried it yet, if yes did u find the booting up of the psp slightly slower

Booster is talking about that for his next release. Read it over at MAXCONSOLE in a Quote from Booster himself.

Also alienator, some of the questions you're asking here have already been answered on the POC Custom FW thread. johncchc did it and it went off w/o a hitch!

It's REALLY easy, nothing to worry about... Your PSP WILL NOT get bricked. The ONLY reason they say that is b/c if you're lacking experience w/ the PSP (if you're a n00b) don't mess w/ the flash. Otherwise, if you've written to the flash before, nothing will happen. This custom FW will NOT upgrade OR downgrade your current FW. It just makes it more flexible.

Here, you can go back to this thread and check it out!

I understand your concern b/c you live in Pakistan, but you're missin' out! :)

just like what guano had said, there is nothing to be scare of. i have done it myself thanks to guano hard-work. just like what guano said, it does not upgrade or downgrade your psp, it will help make the psp better in some part such as when u first turn on ur psp, instead of the sony enternainment screen poping up, it will skip that part and go directly to the 1.5 fm. again, i have tried it and it works like a charm. if u need help, just pm me or guano!!! another hot feature is that it doesnt load the umd when u first turn your psp on. this way, it saves time without ejecting your umd. A must try fm!!!

hey guano man firstly i dont live in Pakistan, i live in the United Kingdom, i see you dont read carefully as i said i was going to Pakistan for a month.

oh and btw i have used my flash many times before and also i did know that this doesnt change your fw or anything but all it does is add to it

oh and also just because your a senior member doesnt mean me , who is a member, wont know much about the psp, i do actually know more about the psp than most of the people who post round here who may actually be higher status than me but that doesnt mean i dont know how to flash or i have never flashed.

My bad, but you need to relax... Sorry if I'm not stuck on every word of every post; I try to get to the point and give you the help you need. Whether or not I was right in saying you LIVE in Pakistan is frankly irrelevant as to how I was trying to help you.

That's fine, but you have to remember OTHER PEOPLE are reading this as well, so before you attack me for something, just realise sometimes I reiterate so ppl will get a small recap...

Dude, I've never had a problem with you. And I never said you don't know much about the PSP

I wouldn't go comparing yourself to others tho; that's not really fair. I'm sure some of the some of the ppl here would think you're putting yourself a little higher than the rest of us... Not cool. And again, I never said you don't know how; this was me giving an example of saying "if you're a n00b", not saying you personally, but someone who has never messed w/ the flash.

Here's what I said:

Again, maybe it was you who ALSO didn't read closely or maybe I didn't put it clearly enough.

I'm sorry we had this misunderstanding; I don't like arguing w/ ppl. I hope now you're clear on what I had posted about...

Peace,
guano

leave guano alone, he is cool, he has helped me alot of stuff. when he said noob, it refers to the people who are reading it that if they are noob, it didnt mean directly to you, alienator. maybe he was wrong about you living in Pakistan, but who cares, this is not what it's about. so chill. just like waht guano have said, we arent here to argue, we are here to help eachother out. so what if he said u were in Pakistan, it's just a little matter.

All right! That's what I'M talking about! I HATE not getting along w/ ppl... except hex. Badgering him is just fun b/c he's so sensitive and he takes everything so seriously! XD Plus, he's the one that start crap most of the time. I just add fuel to the fire, so to speak...

lol, does that include you little ongoing battle with the newcomer Shezzy, lol man you and hodgins just took the piss out of him. man how are n0obs going to think of you with that attitude - they gonna think your some jerk, when your actually not so man for your sake lets let sad dude shezzy get banned for being so impolite and lets hope if he comes back its with a bit more sense

He's already been twice removed. Throw him to the dogs! Why would come back w/ a bit more sense? He's a retard. Retards don't have sense.

btw, who cares what the n00bs think of me... Once they start seeing I like to help, they won't care about things I didn't even say to THEM, you know?

yeh i know it was shexxy but u said twice so i thought the second account was langhorne.
