    Hey,

    A Looong time ago i did the Pandora trick to get to 4.01 m33-2.

    Now, I’ve pulled the dust off my PSP-1003 and would love to get it up-to-date, but forgive me I’m a little rusty after a few years!

    Can I use install this over 4.01 m33-2 straight off the bat? or should i do something else first?

    Also – is this pretty much the best method for custom firmware these days? I feel like a n00b again…

    P.S.G.C.

    Runs pro b 10 CFW with XMBcontrol and vsh

    Build in memory in N1004 makes it possable to run remotejoy & pspdisp without plugin changes

    minnimum loadtime cuse of 14gb ef0 build in memory/ also got 8gb micro sd2 memory

    Pro b 10 need no external eboot loader like iso tool or prometheus,
    Makes Eboot shell on boot-up / WORKS FOR BOTH ISO & CSO FILES and with catagorise prx

    On upload pro b 10 has been set to auto run XMBControl

    Catagorise prx (VSH) & Catagorise prx (POPS) installed and set to hide uncatagorised folders & ISO FILES

    N1004 comes with a build in WIDE Color depth option, (is activated)

    CAT FOLDERS ACTIVATED
    _EF0 (RPG – ACTION – STRATEGY – FIGHTING – DRIVING) / PRO B 10 IS UNCATAGORISED LOCATED ON EF0 & MS0 root
    _MS0 (PSX – MINIS – SNES – GAMEBOY ADVANCED – CFW & XMB – APPLICATIONS – DISPLAY)

    HBL CFW INSTALLED AND ACCESSABLE FOR MS0/ DOES ONLY EBOOT – INSTALLED IN XMB & CFW FOLDER IF NEEDED

    REMOTE PRX IS AUTOMATICLY ACTIVATED ON CFW PBO B 10 BOOT UP (REMOTEJOYLITE.EXE FILES IS PRELOADED ON MS0)

    LIGHT EXPAND PRX IS SET AND PRELOADED ON PRO B 10 START UP / 4 STEPS SWITCH

    cXMB PRX GAMEBOOT IS PRELOADED FROM MS0 ON PRO B 10 BOOT-UP

    VSH MENU PRX INSTALLED / ACCESS FROM XMB BY PRESSING SELECT BUTTON

    USBVERSION.TXT/VERSION.TXT/USBVERSIONFAKE.TXT PRX ACTIVATED ON PRO B 10 BOOT-UP

    TOTALNOOBS TN HEN E RESENTLY HAS SOME SORT OF MALFUNCKTION AND IS NOT IN USE (I´LL GET BACK TO THIS LATER)

    UPDATE 6.20 CFW PRO B 10 HAS SHOWN NO SIGNS OF LACKING BEHAVIOR WHATSOEVER ON BUILD IN M33 DRIVER..

    DIGITAL COMICS WORKS LIKE A CHARM

    SENSME SEEMS WORKING / UNCERTENED & NOT FULLY TESTED

    PSN LOGIN & STORE WORKS LIKE A CHARM

    PRO SETTINGS EXTRA MENU APPLAYED IN XMB SYSTEM MENU

    BLUETOOTH DEVICE DOSENT SEEM WORKING WHILE USING REMOTEJOY PLUGINS. IT WORKS IN PSPDISP BUT ONLY IN WLAN

    RECOVERY MENU IS ACCESSABLE FROM VSH MENU IN XMB AND PRO SETTINGS IN XMB SYSTEM MENU

    SWAP X/O ACTIVATED AND LOCKED TO 6.20 XMB

    PAUSE GAME HAS MALFUNCTION ON EF0 YET WORKING FINE ON MS0 (GUESS ITS SOME PLUGIN FAILURE, NOT FULLY TESTED)

    DUE TO PLUGINS USB ACTIVATION MUST BE TOGGLED FROM XMB VHS/ WORKS WELL

      SensMe Fully tested & works like a charm

      Hud Prx has been activated (Not quite sure but think this plugin may cause some sort of plugin disturbance)

      Still haven´t tested nor figured out the cause of TN HEN E´s
      malfunction Yet as for now i won´t do anymore examination of this problem since it would seem like a step back compared to PRO B 10 6.20 CFW

      Any suggestions or recommendations for which Homebrew and Prx plugins i should be testing next??

        Hi Genesis nice that you share your test result here. (This may get a kind of lost here)maybe better go to http://wololo.net/talk and you should find some topics with working homebrew lists.. btw a few of the brews you called are even working without hen / cfw since they are signed for ofw^^

    I have PSP3000 running on 5.03Gen.
    Isn’t that enough?
    Should I still mess with my current version?
    Should I still upgrade to 6.60 (then to ProCFW)?
    What are the benefits?

      You choose what you want to do . 5.03 GEN is outdated though , and probably doesnt play the newest games . Updating to 6.60 and then to ProCFW will GUARANTEE the best compatibility in both old and new PSP Games .
