Hello Everyone, today im gonna be showing you on how to Upgrade your previous Phat Psp with custom firmware 3.71 or 3.80 m33 to the newest and recent 5.00 and beyond which is 5.50 GEN-D3, without using any Pandora Battery or Magic Memory Card to save all the hassle. nuf said and let's start.
The Glory of 5.50 GEN D-3 and Custom Firmware running Psp's:
- You can run ISO,CSO, games directly from your memory stick.
- add contents that a normal Psp shouldn't have.
- Some newer Psp Games cannot be run in an older Custom Firmware Version such as 3.71, 3.80 and other else. so its recommended to upgrade your CFW to a newer and higher version if you want to play these games.
- You can now run custom ctf themes and other modifications using the latest 5.50 gen d3.
Requirements:
- a Phat Psp with Custom Firmware 3.70m33, 3.71m33, or 3.80m33 (includes upgrade like -2-3-4)
- a USB cable or Memory stick Adaptor
- an Internet Connection obviously to download the files.
- make sure your Psp battery is at least 75% power. (plug it in to make sure.)
Installation from 3.70,3.71, or 3.80m33 to 5.00 m33-6
Step 1: (Preparations)
