It works. Just follow all the instructions listed above. If you still haven’t managed to convert your PSP back to CFW:

After shutting down, what is your firmware version? Still 5.00 and not 5.00 M33?

Nope. Pandora doesn’t work on PSP-3000s. Once you upgrade over 5.03, it’s game over.

had my buddy at work re-hack, apparently i must have in a drunken stupor done a normal update, and lost the hack cfw.
he fixed it back to 5.00 m33-6, in the process of readding my games to the ISO folder now, thanks for the response!

You can’t play any games in ISO format w/o cfw. Follow the instructions linked below:

sylv3rblade, I really need a point in the right direction, i’m literally stumped here.
Don’t know my motherboard type, it’s the old school black-chubby psp. I’ve upgraded the firmware to 5.00 (don’t believe i have m33), I’m trying to simply play bleach heat the soul 6 (no umd).
I’ve tried the other steps on various forums links, and keep ending up with “corrupt data” when I rename eboot to 500.pbp.

Help! lol

If you’re already on 5.00 M33, you can readily upgrade to 5.50 GEN-D3 without installing 5.00 M33-6. 5.00 M33-6 only patches the bugs that 5.00 M33 contained.
