Yep. And I thought there was really no other way that to get Dissidia Duodecim DLCs aside from the PSN. Looks like the community wins again.
Here’s a quick guide on getting Final Fantasy Dissidia Duodecim’s DLC on your PSP in a jiffy.
Requirements
- A PSP with any of the following firmwares:
- 5.00 M33-6 + Prometheus-4 module
- 5.50 GEN-D3 + Prometheus-4 module
- Any 6.xx PRO firmware, the latest being:
If your current firmware is not listed above then there’s little chance that this guide will work for you. Consider upgrading to any of the listed firmwares.
- Have the NPloader plugin installed
Important Note: This will not work with 6.20 TN-D and 6.20 TN-E alone, you need the permanent patch because it has the recovery menu.
Important Note: Users are reporting that the DLC works fine for the EU copy on 5.00 M33 Prome-4 and 5.50 GEN-D3 Prome-4. For some reason, the US version only works on 6.xx firmwares and above. Make sure you have an untouched ISO ok?
Download the required files
- NPloader: Mirror 1 | Mirror 2
- Dissidia DLC Pack (as of 12/04/2011: Mirror 1 | Mirror 2
- Untouched Dissidia Duodecim ISO
How to Install the Dissidia Duodecim DLC pack on your PSP
- If you have 5.50 GEN-D3 + Prometheus-4
- Change the driver to Sony NP9660
- If you have 5.00 M33-6 + Prometheus-4
- Change the driver to Sony NP9660
- Patch the Untouched ISO. Follow the: ISO Tool Patching guide
- Any of the 6.xx firmware listed above + Recovery Menu plugin installed
- Go into the Recovery Menu, and under the Advanced option, turn NoDRM Engine OFF.
- Extract the nploader.prx.zip file and copy the resulting nploader.prx into your seplugins folder.
- Activate the required plugins (either by editing the game.txt file, copying the provided text file or using in-XMB settings (as seen in 6.20 TN-E)
- Extract the Dissidia DLC Pack. It contains a ULUS10566 folder.
- Rename the DLC folder if you have non-US copy of the game
- For EU region, rename the ULUS10566 folder to ULES01505
- For JPregion, rename it to NPJH50377
- For Asian region, rename it to SCAS-40329
- Copy that folder into the PSP\GAME directory
- Remove any existing Dissidia DLC that you have installed (you will encounter problems with Duodecim if you don’t)
- Once everything is done, run the game like normal (don’t run the DLC icon, run the Duodecim Icon instead)
If Duodecim does not get past the initial screen (i.e. you can’t see the option to start a new game, load, etc) you didn’t meet ALL of the requirements listed above. If you do have all the requirements and still can’t make it work, post in the comments with the following information:
- PSP model
- Current firmware version
- Active plugins

Hello, I downloaded dissidia 012 duodecim from the internet. (not PSN) And it has no problems going online. its just like the PSN version. My firmware is 6.60 pro-B9 and I did everything you said and it worked. But when i go to switch their dlc’s it wont change. And when i go to activate plugins its not listed but i can see it when i go to the game folder in my psp. Can you help me?
You need to edit the text file indicated for the plugins to appear.
Edit the text file for what?
To activate the plugin required.
Hey man, I’ve been having some trouble getting this working.
I’ve got a PSP Slim (God of War Edition, fuck yeah)
Using 5.00 M33-6
I’ve only activated the nploader, popsloader, cwcheat, and cwcheatpops. and yes, I checked to make sure game plugins are enabled.
So, I’m using the US untouched iso, and I put the dlc folder in psp/game. start it up, check costumes, nothing new. :/
no gilgamesh costume yet?
Already uploaded
Updated the DLC pack:
Added Gilgamesh
I have a PSP3000, the 6.35 Pro-B 10 Firmware, and am using only the nploader plugin. I’ve followed the steps, but the DLC refuses to work.
What happened?
1.) Is your folder name correct for the game’s region that you’re using?
2.) Are you using an untouched ISO?
Ive done everything but I cant find the provided text file for activating the plugin
. Any help?
Create a game.txt file in the PSP/seplugins folder
Shantotto’s “Wedding Dress” Costume is not listed. is it there?
What Firmware does this work on? Cause i might upgrade from 5.50 Gen-B to 5.50 D3 Prome 4 or go to 5.00 M33 Prome 4. Anyone know what firmware i should use?
The list of compatible firmwares is listed in the requirements
i have the 2000 model and firmware 5:50 gen d3 + prometheus 4 and disabled all plug ins except the nploader and it still wont work help please
I have:
model 3000
Firmware 6.35 Pro A4
only active plugin is nploader
and am using a european 012 iso, renamed the DLC to ULES01505, and when I load the iso, it remains black and never loads. What am I doing wrong? Help! u.u
I just tested this on a:
1000
5.50 Gen d3
also nploader as only active plugin, and it perfectly works!
What must I do for it to work on my 3000?! Dx
Is the ISO the same for the PSP-3000 with 6.35 PRO-A4?
The exact same file. I’m using pretty much the same memory stick for both.
No other game or anything has a problem; everything works fine on both, except 012 with the DLCs on the 3000… u.u
(KH Cloud FTW!)
Have you turned off the NoDRM engine for the PSP-3000?
For some reason, on my 3000, I don’t seem to have access to the Recovery menu… u.u
So, alt. ways to turn NoDRM off? D=
well, upgrade your current firmware. I would recommend 6.35 PRO-B10
For some reason, on my 3000, I don’t seem to have access to the Recovery menu… u.u

help please.

Did everything and it worked, but now everytime I start up my PSP, it runs very slowly until I run an ISO. I’m running a 6.60 PRO-B9 on a PSP-2000.
On your XMB, press select to enter the VSH menu and make sure that the clock speed for the VSH is set to any of the following values: 233Mhz, 333Mhz or default.
It worked! Thank you!
hi i put the dlc pack in my game folder but when i play the dissidia 012 no costumes appear i have 2000 model 6.39 ME 9.2
Same here.
meron akong 2000 model slim 6.39 ME 9.2 ginawa ko naman yan pero di gumagana
Have you enabled the NoDRM option?
I have a 2001 PSP Model with a CFW 6.60 ME 1.6. Although I can’t find any guides on how to install it. Maybe you can light me up so that I can install the DLC. Note: I didn’t follow the instructions because the guide says there’s a small chance it will work, I want it 100% working.
To ensure that the DLC will work, check if your current CFW has the NoDRM option in the recovery. If it doesn’t, consider switching to 6.60 PRO-B10
I switched my 6.60 ME 1.6 to 6.60 Pro B10 and it works as it should be. But everytime I shutdown my PSP I have to reinstall Pro B10, is it normal?
Yes, since you’re formerly on 6.60 ME (which is a permanent hack) run the CIPL flasher to make the PRO-B10 permanent.
Not working. Although I just saw something like 6.60 B10 “FIX” Might as well try it because what I have is the without fix only.
Can you fix the replacements of FFI, FFII, FFIII, and FFXI songs?
And the FFV one.
Dammit, I keep forgetting stuff. The FFVIII one is also replaced with another song (FFVIII song as well). gg42 has posted the list of the songs.
Also, Aerith should have alternate costumes.
Having problems here, I can’t see the DLC 1 in any characters when selecting the Look.
1. PSP model : PSP SLIM 2000
2. Current firmware version : 6.60 PRO B-10
3. Active plugins:
cmxb.prx
nploader.prx
Could be a corrupt download of the DLC, try redownloading
It’s still the same after re downloading it, I have my NoDRM Engine disabled.
Wait, noDRM disabled? Is there any difference if you enable it?
It’s working now, I just enable my NoDRM Engine. Thanks.
Mirror one is down, and I can’t get the 2nd mirror to work :’(
reuploading the nploader prx file in a bit
It’s up now.
..uhhm hello ..
do i really need to download the dlc one because ihave downloaded one earlier
i folllow your steps correctly i can play the game normally without the costumes i want i’ve watched youtube and see cool costumes like cloud- zack jecht – angeal cloud – noctis how can i do that for my psp
The DLC uploaded in the post is patched so it’ll work on an PSP so yes, you really need to download it.
@sylv3rblade: Kudos on keeping up so well with tech support for this. Hopefully I won’t need to bug you with any questions. ^^ I’m so ready to try this when the downloads are complete!
can i still use my save data if i install a DLC??
Yep, the DLC only ads content.
can i still run my save if i use the DLC??
Hi, I’m using 6.39 PRO B10 (psp 3010). I followed the steps on this and it says my 012 game data is corrupted. nploader is my only plugin.
This might seem like a stupid question but I’m fairly new to owning a PSP (Bought it just a few months ago) so kindly excuse my ignorance.
Do I need to download the ISO or will a UMD suffice? I have an original copy of the game (UMD) and my PSP has 639 PRO-B Fast Recovery PSP Firmware. Is the firmware I have even the same as 6.39 PRO-B10?
Thank you so much!
Hi i have a psp 200 (i think)
with a 5.03 cfw and i see the bgm data in the memory stcik but nothing else please help
correction it’s a 3000
Anna here again!
Disregard that last question. Being the impatient girl that I am, I decided to try anyway and it indeed works with a UMD.
Thank you so much for this! I’m loving all the new content, especially Yuna’s X-2 and the Aerith assist.
Again, a big thanks! Cheers!
Not a prob. I’m glad I helped you out.
Hey there!
It seems the dlc file is no longer available at the first mirror.
At least, I get this message when I click on it…
And the second mirror doesnt work at all for me. It says I reched the daily download limit, which is not correct. Well, that might be an individual issue I have, but could you please double check the file at the first mirror?
Btw, great tutorial! Everything works fine as long as you follow the instructions =)
Thank you very much!
Looks like the upload account got disabled. I’ll look into uploading to another mirror.
is it okay if I didn’t use the untouched iso? Because I already downloaded dissidia before. Will it still work?
also what do you mean by edit the game.txt file? how do you edit it?
Will this work on a PSP 3000 running 6.35 Pro?
The Hen version? You will need the PRO LCFW build since the noDRM option is only available there.
