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

my US untouched ISO dont have the DLC costume. my seplugins folder only has nploader.prx file. can teach me step by steps how to activate the plugins? please~
look for a game.txt file in the seplugins folder of your PSP if you don’t have one, create it and place this:
ms:0/seplugins/nploader.prx 1
do u download any plugin software to activate your plugin? i created a text document file and copy the code u gave me,i name the text document file as ”game.txt” and it didnt work. when i go to VSH menu>recovery menu>plugin and check, there is no plugin inside. it is empty. i am having this problem after i upgrading my psp 5.50 gen d3 to 6.60 pro b9. now i got no idea how to activate the plugin =(
is the game.txt file within the seplugins? On the VSH menu, select reset VSH.
ya. CPU CLOCK XMB 333/166
CPU CLOCK GAME 333/166
USB DEVICE MEMORY STICK
UMD ISO MODE INFERNO
ISO VIDEO MOUNT NONE
NoDRM Engine Disabled
this is wat i do. the game.txt file and the nploader.prx file are inside the seplugins folder. i reset vsh few times,but still no plugin appear. i just scare maybe my psp is semi-brick…everything is ok,just left the plugin problem only…and i think the code is ms0:/seplugins/nploader.prx 1
i upgraded my psp to 6.60 B10. in the seplugins folder has a file call ”font recovery” it is a text document file and inside is empty want.

but now i have a problem…the game keep on show out a message ”the game could not be start” =( but the DLC i can use ed T_T help please
Are you running the DLC or the main game on the XMB? you can’t start the game using the DLC Data
the main game. i try delete and paste again the new file inside. but still cant open it.
now the game can work as normal already. but my save data always corrupted. will ur save data always having this problem?
Hello. I just followed all the steps except the ISO download and all that because I have the physical Duodecim (US) disc and I’m having trouble. Currently I am using CFW Pro B-10 on my PSP-3001 model:03. The problem is none of the DLC is working. I’m flipping through the looks and it’s just not working. Can you please tell me what is wrong?
By the way, yes, the nploader plugin is loaded and enabled properly and I have no DLC downloaded. I’m pretty good at troubleshooting when it’s not too complicated but I just can’t find it out!
just upgraded to 6.60 pro, but now i cant access the recovery menu.
press select button or shutdown ur psp,then switch it on by holding R button
my psp version is 6.60 PRO B-10. my save data keeps on corrupted whenever i change the outfit to the DLC form
tnx for the dlc!
it worked on my psp go with 6.20 PRO-B9 without putting the nploader, just like when i put a God Eater dlc pack on it..
many thanks again for the DLC!
