Video showing it working:
Problems that they haven’t fixed (yet):
MGS demo refuses to run
- We’ve tried everything and what works in 5.550GEN-D2 has not worke in the 5.03GEN-B. Pity…
The Recovery mode menu is “mixed”
- The RECOVERY MODE 5.02GEN-A has been patched to run on the PSP-3000. It can change the most usual options but we encounter some problems with this VSH Recovery in and we have not managed to fix it. In fact, the menu sees some of his lines not properly allocated and others who do not work. Note that on a PSP-3000, the recovery is useless, or nearly so, since all the useful features found in the VSH menu or in Ultimate VSH menu Total_Noob of Total Noob we strongly recommend that you install.
Here are the options of Recovery and their equivalents:
- USB toglie = OK
- Configuration = ok
- Skip Sony: not work (need not severe)
- Hide corrupt icons = not work and labor Skip sony logo
- Game folder HB ok
- Autorun EBOOT ok
- Fake region ok
- Use vsh menu ok
- XMB USB Device ok
- Load Device with USB ok
- Use M33 network update ok
- Use version TXT ok
- Use game categories = ok
- Reboot in official firmware> not working
- Advanced CPU SPEED =
- CPU SPEED = Plugins
- Plugins = registry hack
- Registry hack = device suspends
- Suspend device = reboot in official firmware
- Reset system = quit
