excellent, thanks mate, got it all working... however, i've now run into a new problem. i installed the custom fw extender 1.8.1 after installing 3.71-2 and 1.50 addon 2 and was loving it, only thing is it seems to have caused a few problems... im no longer to get my vsh menu up anymore using select and i cant get into the config menu in the recovery mode everything else there works but the config just restarts the psp after producing a blank screen for about 1 min... i deleted all the files for the extender but i still cant get them to work. i need to get into either one to stop the umd drive starting as it starts over all my iso games. any help on this would be really appreciated
thanks
