5.03 GEN-A doesn’t work either.
Looks like PSP 3000 users won’t be accessing PSN for a while, considering 5.50 GEN-A isn’t working for 3000 yet.

If you’re a PS3 owner as well as a PSP owner surely you can still buy things from the store via the PS3 and simply transfer them to the PSP?
Not much of a anti-CFW attempt by Sony if that is possible and I also agree with those who say Sony have potentially scored an own goal by possible loss of store sales by CFW users.

In the end good will win (Sony im talking of)

You firmware needs to just say 5.50 in the version text I think. I never have tried buy content on my PSP through the PSP, but I have on the PC. The PC PSN right now just reads from the version.txt so, if you can change it so it can read 5.50 instead of 5.00 then you can buy from the PSN through the PC. I don’t have a PS3 so I don’t know if that works.

You’re retarded if you use custom firmware and call Sony your friend, this site is called “pspslimhacks”. If you truly love sony, go make out with them and stop navigating here.

You believe what i say? chillax dude. I’m just being sarcastic!

sony is like an arrogant baby nowadays…. as long as we’re unhappy, they’re happy….lol
Their primary goal is to keep any cfw users miserable. even though it means financial loss.

Hi Everybody! I have replied to this article on my own website…

http://www.mirandasoft.net/2009/07/01/psp-hack-idea-nand-swapper/

It’s my NAND swapper idea for PSP hackers, such as the M33 team. Please forword my post as a potential solution to PSN Store blocking M33 Custom Firmware…

Thanks,
Marcos

The only way this could make any sense is if every new game checks for CFW. So, instead of dealing with a million complaints from people who legitimately bought games and can’t play them, Sony just blocks access to the entire PSN.

That Media program that you get for PC would still work right?
Or just via PS3…

PC doesnt work? well I guess its time to use Psx2Psp converter. Been using that and its great.

i dont care i just used media go

What really sux is that with this fix, Remote Play does not work anymore!!!!

itsd not just psn – its infrastructure games too i cant play resistance online

I guess they are cracking down as we get close to the PSP Go release. It sucks cause I do own the games I rip into my memory cards, Sony just doesn’t give us the option. Also, of course, I own emulators which will never run on OFW!!!!

Has anyone found a solution?

Don’t run CFW o_O.

I never used the PSN store so I am good.

This is a sad post on behalf of Sony, aside from the issues not managed well for the PSP, they take the time to block CFW, could there possibly be something better to work on with this system. I see why they don’t want to support the community that has put out more software for one system than any other console developed,( Including Sony! ) I as a CEO would feel the same about it, Money not made for great work, What’s worse you ask? We do it all as a hobby, we put in more time than Sony does and they even took the auto detect USB feature from this community in the 5.00.

( Yes they even stated it in an announcement but did not specify from where. )

I wish I kept that information, but that’s all I have to say about it.

Oh well. Back to pirating games.

sony is making bad decisions by saying block this and that even if u have outdated ofw u cant play games or use PSN well its their loss in the many customers they just blocked it would all be better if they allowed us to put homebrew on ofw (not pirating games of course because they loose money )cfw makes their ok system a whole lot better and eventually they will go broke trying to block the psp hackers they should try and spend some money on improving the ps3 and psp not dragging them down maybe ont the ps3 motion sensitive controler that looks really cool

I have an idea. I don’t know if it will work but when I have my battery in pandora mode I can boot custom firmware from my magic memorystick. Couldn’t we change the firmware on the memorystick to ofw and have it boot when the battery is in pandora mode? I don’t really know all the ins and outs of the mmstick but I’m gonna mess with it.

i can’t go to PSN with 5.03 GEN-A
it says that software update is needed

They did it because of the NOOB’S who use hacks online, and makeing it fair game play when new games come out you need your psn too work too play. unles they find away around it.

i am using 5.03 GEN-A and i want to download songs for Rock Band Unplugged
is there any other way to do that except to download it from PSN???

who the hell plays psp games online anyways…… >_>

uhhh are u kidding? a lot of people play psp games online, me for instance. resistance retribution is a perfect example of a great online psp game

So does this work like Evangelion Jo? Like even if youre not running the custom firmware it wont let you access the PSN store? Honestly sony is beginning to get ridiculous, they wont stop piracy by making things harder!

yeah i want to download Rockband Unplugged Songs

Great job Sony. No one is going to pirate PSN games now. *Rolls eyes*

Damnit I cant get rockband unplugged songs now…

Can’t you just buy a new PSP, Don’t hack it and start downloading stuff from the unhacked one and transfer it to the hacked one. Or does everything on the PSN store do a version.txt check or more? And if you just give up…Buy an Apple iPod Touch and jailbreak it and unlock it.

There’s a very easy fix for this. First get media go for the PSP, but you’ll notice that it does a firmware check so download dark-alex’s usb version fake and change the firmware version to 5.50. This way you can download any content from the playstation store.

I was gonna buy a ps3 to go with my 2 psps. WAS, way to go, sony…. no way im givin up cfw for remote play and psn.
