some UMD's require certain firmware to play. That's just how it goes.

Re: psp custom firmware problems
Just update to 6.20 PRO, its a permanent CFW.
Re: psp custom firmware problems
^ I just googled real fast, there's 6.20 and 6.35... what's the difference?
Re: psp custom firmware problems
6.20 is permanent, anything after it is temporary (You need to run the app after you turn off your PSP).Ziggy587 wrote:^ I just googled real fast, there's 6.20 and 6.35... what's the difference?

Re: psp custom firmware problems
Only on a cold boot. You don't need to redo it every time you put the device to sleep.
