Where did you get the update from??

Are you putting it in a folder called UPDATE within the GAME folder???

just asking the obvious, in case its a simple mistake

i downloaded it from official site but might have done something wrong 'cause it was always corrupt. deleted it and downloaded again from a link in this thread. worked a treat

thanks

I decided to not put custom firmware on it I am still having the same problems Everything works just it wont update firmware I keep on getting the same error message that the file is corrupt or that the game wont play and I haven't hacked it, I have 3.60 firmware is their anyway to fix this without returning it, because it was bought in October and the 30 day return policy is void Could it possibly be the PSP? Should I call Sony?

hello

This is a link which will take you to the site of the updates. Click the 'Download Now' button on the right to be taken to the update, but this link shouldnt fail unlike the 1st one.

Good Day!! You cannot play games from the memory stick unless you are on custom firmware!!

And please dont ask how to do it on here, we aren't allowed to tell you

My problem is fixed
bought a game and updated it using the update on it

guess updating with a USB isnt very good for more

well it at least works
still don't have 3.80
at least I have 3.72

thanks for the help though

I understand that you can't discuss it, but... i've bought psp not knowing anything about any of this firmware official or not stuff and mine has for some unbeknown reason got dark alex custom firmware???? now i went to his site and you can;'t ask stuff. I'm really p'd off, can't someone pm me or help, cause been to where i bought it from, won't replace and don't understand, however they did say that only the mem stick was customised not psp have changed mem stick prob still persists and as i don't know how to update custom, am i just flogging a dead horse, cause if so it's a ******g expensive horse!!!!!!!!!! i just wanna throw it across the room!

firmware is on the actual console, not on mem stick. the mem stick is just used to put onto console.

and plz refrain from cursing, as this thread is supposed to be aimed at people who have problems and want them dealt with in a sensible manner, without all the swearing...

thank u
