PSN version check is now automatically bypassed without need of touching any setting.”
With new cfw 5.00 m33-3,
from pspupdates.qj.net
Dudash discovered a simple work around solution to supposedly grant you access to the PS Store, even without a CFW 5.01 M33 from DAX. Here’s how:
1. Run the 5.00 M33 installer and stop when it prompts you to press X to start SCE Updater, R to exit
2. Take out the memory stick
3. Download the official 5.01 update data
4. Rename the 5.01 update (UPDATE.PBP) to 500.pbp
5. Paste it to “X:PSPGAMEUPDATE” and overwrite the original (real) 500.pbp
6. Pop the MS card back in and continue
This Will Give You 5.01m33
From The Beginning Of The SCE Updater, It Will Say
PSP System Software
Version 5.01
Start
And Now You Can Enter The Playstation Store Without Getting An Error!
Likewise, this same procedure was also discovered by Erland in our QJ.NET forums. You can check the Visit link below to see his set of instructions, but ultimately, they’re the same.
Please be advised that this hasn’t been tested to be absolutely 100% working for all cases - especially since FW 5.01 also integrates some fixes with certain Memory Stick
models. This procedure might not work for certain cards. Given that, we advise caution in trying this out for yourself, just in case something happens.
Dark AleX is back with a new version for the “Universal Unbricker” for the PSP! This time around, Despertar del Cementerio v6 is chock-full of bug fixes and features. And for the most part, the problem with certain TA-88 PSP models has been addressed.
For those new to this unbricker, and as a recap, Despertar del Cementerio (aka DC) can be used in conjunction with a pandora battery, which then allows you to install pretty much any custom firmware back on your PSP.
Here’s the full changelog for Despertar del Cementerio v6:
* Now installs 4.01 M33-2
* Change of core. Now it uses 4.01 M33 core. This fixes some TA-88 crashing because of 1.5/3.40 kernel. Note that there are still other kind of newest TA-88 which cannot boot DC at all.
* GUI of both installer and DC itself changed to a xmb looking one.
* Added the option “Test M33″ which boots 4.01 M33-2 from the memory stick.
Make sure to go through the entire readme file included in the download archive as it contains detailed installation instructions of how to use this. The entire process is still pretty sensitive and may cause your PSP to have problems.
Thanks to LeadBaron for the quick tip!
