1. Goto Recovery Menu (turn off then hold R and turn on)
2. Configuration -> Use NO-UMD (Disable it)
3. Go all the way back to main menu
4. Advanced -> Advanced Configuration -> (Disable all of them)

Programs, as in homebrew? You need to place the folder containing an EBOOT.PBP in GAME150

For example... let's say you are installing an NES emulator. The folder path would be like this:

X:/PSP/GAME150/NES

The folder NES would contain the files necessary to run the program (EBOOT.PBP, etc)

Thank you very much Cheezeball99 and x3sphere its nice to know you 2 work for Nintendo. :w00t:


As for my lastest error "The Game could not be started 80020321" the solution is simple. PUT BACK IN LUMINES OR A UMD!!

No, you have to have a UMD for almost all stuff to work, and it has to be a game UMD. Plus, if you're referring to what I think you're referring to, we don't support piracy. sorry- If you were referring to something else I apologize, but I'm pretty sure you were.

so the game just started as normal? system information still says 3.50 and not 3.50 HEN?

maybe the Australian version has a different Save ID. can you list the folder names of any Lumines saves in X:/PSP/SAVEDATA ?

If it has a different Save ID then it is definitely not compatible.

I have added pictures to the guide. Hope that makes things more clear if you were originally having trouble.

hey, at least its up to date :biggrin: plus me, x3 and cheezyhead all post at once so theyre not in the correct order


BTW: the first picture of the Downgrading Instructions is very helpful. Thats where Death_Pigeon and I got confused. When he says "contents on the folder" he mean "contents in the folder" which is only the "PSP" folder.

Hm... Just a few questions.

My PSP is the first model, got it right when PSP's came out a few years ago, would there be any problem downgrading with the motherboard that's in it now?

And also, is there a great chance of bricking? Cause my warranty is definitely up.

Thanks.

You don't have to worry about your MoBo, all models work. But the bricking- there's ALWAYS a chance of bricking, but that chance is probably somewhere around .001%.
