when the new firmware is dumped on the psp is it there for good making it a 2.6 or 2.7 or is it just for emulation purposes...??

New UMD Dumper only dumps UMD games, it does NOT dump firmware. If you dump a firmware with a firmware dumping tool, it dumps the firmware FILES and does not make your PSP a higher firmware. This allows you to EMULATE the firmware without it upgrading your PSP.

so.. if I use the dumper to retrieve the firmware from the spongebob umd disc it wont change my psp for good then ???

[cridger]

sorry you said it wont dump firmware... im really confused now.,,, how can i get the umd disc to load... does anyone know \????
:confused:

You CAN boot directly from the disc using the new Device Hook 0.41d, altho if you want to emulate the ISO, you dump the UMD (THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRMWARE). Since it requires a higher firmware to play, you load it up with Device Hook 0.41d, and bam, it loads. Use the installer that comes with devhook and the upgrade EBOOT to dump the firmware to your memory stick and you'll be good to go.

Check the easyiso 1.1 kit for a easy package to get started.

great nearly there... but where and how do i upgrade EBOOT..

[PSPWAD]

Just get the Easy ISO Starup kit and it will explain everything in the walkthough on how to get it working ;).

i have looked at that but its not plain simple what to download when you follow the thread....

[PSPWAD]

In the thread there is a RAR file, in that is the instructions, and items to copy to your PSP, and PC tools for use. The instructions are detailed and fully explain how to install DevHook AND DAX ZISO on your PSP so that they are fully working. After you have followed all of taht, if you are confused about the settings inside of the application, post back and I will post exact settings to use.

Just put DATA.PSAR to the root of your memory stick then run the devhook installer on your PSP. Then you'll be ready to go ;)!

This procedure will NOT change your PSP firmware, you are good to go.

is there a link to this...
