I copied an ISO game to ISO folder at the root of the memory stick. When I launch it from game, it says "game can not be started." is there anything else that I need to run in order to play ISO games on 3.30 OE-A. If I understand correctly, with 3.30 OE-A only I can play ISO games...pls advise if there is something else I am not aware...thanks...

Do you have an UMD in the drive and no UMD disabled?
 
I don't have UMD in the drive and I believe UMD is enabled now....what do I need to do next? Thanks...

With no umd disabled insert a UMD into the drive and try to play the game. It should work.
 
How to disable UMD...?

hold R while turning your PSP on to enter recovery mode. disable NO-UMD in the config options.
 
Can't play some ISO

I can't play some ISO after upgrading from 1.50 to 3.30 OE-A. All I've got is black screen.
I COULD play these ISO when the PSP had 1.50 and UMD drive was still working.

My UMD drive is defect now, and I upgrade the PSP to version 3.30 OE-A. I can play some ISO without UMD. When I play "Megaman Powered UP, Megaman Maverick Hunter X, Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles ...", nothing happens. Just back screen.

What shall I do ?
 
Hold r when turning on your psp and you should get a blue screen. Go down to configuration and disable no-umd. Then make sure you have a umd in the drive when starting your iso up
 
If disabling NO-UMD and putting a UMD in the drive doesn't work, try using recovery to downgrade back to 1.50, then, if you want to, try installing 3.30 OE-A again.

I don't see how the 3.30 OE-A upgrade could have messed up, but I had something similar when I initially upgraded to 3.03 OE-B. THAT problem, however, was because I failed to notice that I had upgradeded to 3.03 OE-B, from 3.02 OE-A.

My PSP is running on 3.30 OE-A now and when I am pressing R button and turning on the power, it doesn't go into recovery mode and instead it goes into the regular home.

Any suggestions? Meanwhile, when I installed FastLoader on this, it won't get started. Any other homebrews that I need to run as well in order to play an ISO game? Thanks a lot..
 
Got it...I didn't press the power button long enough to shut down completely and then press R to power on....thanks...

How can I delete the file for PSP Update ver X.YZ? Thanks...
 
Yes...to remove this icon from GAME, could you pls shed some light on this? Thanks a lot...

Oh, THAT. To remove that, you just delete the recovery folder from the GAME folder on your memory stick. It can be found on X:/PSP/GAME/. (X being whatever drive letter your PSP shows up as.) If you really want it gone, I suggest you keep it backed up on your computer somewhere. You never know when you might need to downgrade again in an emergency.

EDIT: The reason they made it to show up in GAME is so that you can run it even if your recovery mode is hosed.

My umd drive doesn't work anymore. Some ISO work with enable no-umd and some don't. Why ? Is this the way the ISO was compressed/converted to iso from UMD ?
 
Don't think so...

I think it has more to do with how the game was programmed/compiled/loads...
The games that aren't compatible with No-UMD aren't compatible no matter what format you leave it in, compressed or not.

I just upgraded to 3.40 OE-A and tried to play TMNT ISO game...once it was launched from GAME, then it powered off the PSP...does it need NO-UMD disabled? I enabled that in config via recovery menu for other games...switching back and forth is a little busy...
