what the meaning of this —
Copy the PSP folder and the 550.pbp file to the root of your memory stick??

That’s actually the correct term when you’re referring to the just the drive letter. If your computer detects your PSP as drive E: then the root folder is driver E:.

it very misleading when they say root you think MP root but really it just the main area of memory stick IE if you click on drive before you enter any folders that is were you leave 550.php not in any folders

on the root of your memory stick (i.e. if your memory stick is read as E: copy it so that the path of the file is E:550.pbp)

you can jump from B2 to D. You can ignore GEN-C.

Hey, when you’re updating to GEN-D from B2, do you have to update to C then D? or can i just go straight to D from B2?

Hmm that’s odd. Have you tried switching ISO mode?

I had to do that when I upgraded anyhow cause I had a custom theme and it didn’t let the game run right after.

I have tried both the hacked and unhacked, and even took the unhacked and did it myself. No Luck

Looks like formatting the flash is really the solution for most semi bricks. I’ll add it up to the disclaimer.

Or, in the case for semi-bricked PSP, instead of doing all that, just go do Recovery Menu -> Advanced -> Format Flash1 and Settings.

That’s what thinkpad tried to say. No one may have every PSP in the world, but the code for the firmware is only one, and shouldn’t have problems with any supported PSP.

Just tried it and it works, now I jsut need to reconfigure the settings and Wallpaper
