Dual Booting OFW and 5.50 D-3

[vXAlexanderXv]

I just subscribed to Playstation Plus and want to have OFW loaded for PSN access. Currently I'm using DC8 to load 5.00 M33-4 in ''Test M33'' but it has too much trouble loading homebrew & things. That explained, I am wondering if there is a way to change the CFW on the MMS to 5.50 D-3, and load that during the ''Test M33'' function.

Also, I've forgotten to mention I'm using a PSP 1000.

I do not think there is, you could though use the undiluted platinum mod chip which allowed 2 FW's to run, but its a long shot given that the modchip is years old now and may not be suitable anymore for current FW's. Google is your friend, but i will help you get started Here

I've used Google for weeks trying to figure this out, always sends me here to dual booting D-2 and D-3.

Thank you much for the link for the modchip, but not what I am looking for.

Couldn't one just copy the D-3 firmware to the MS0:\TM\DC8 and boot it using "Test M33."?

I am no coder, but I do experiment a little, maybe I'll just try that.

Well, good luck with that.

Nope, won't work as the FW needs to be patched (that's what tmctrl.prx does) to run from MS instead of the flash.
However, the tmcrtl.prx used to boot 5.00m33 *could* (maybe) be patched / remade to support 5.50gen-d.... just who'll do it?

Probably no one, :sad:. I would do it myself if I knew a single thing about coding whatsoever. I would ask a experienced coder such as yourself to take a look, but I'm sure you've got other things going on, but thanks for the info.

If anyone knows any developers who would be interested in taking a look, it would be much appreciated if you passed the word along.
