FIRST THING you need to do is not upgrade to any sony firmwares. if you do your pretty much screwed. ill help if i can.
I recently just downgraded my PSP from 3.03 to 1.5 then 3.03 OE-C. probably the best thing that ever happened to PSP. i also use OS X and there is great tools and easy ways to do homebrew, and other things on your mac with your PSP. pm me for more info or post back. ill help if i can

Thanks for the reply.
I have installed the 3.03 OE-C with no issues,
I have an ISO i am wanting to use. I have tried to upload it with PSPKit with no luck.
Any help you an provide or anymore tips will be most welcome ...
Cheers

dont even use PSPkit to install ISO's, just mount the psp in the finder, drop the iso in the ISO folder on the memory stick, eject and run it! you can also use PrometeusPro to make your ISO's into CSO's (compressed iso) to save space on your mac and mem stick

Thanks again ...
I have stuck the Iso in the ISO folder in the root folder but when launching it is states the data is corrupted ...
What have i done wrong or forgetten to do?

BTW here is a guide to dumping your own UMDs to your mac

easy way to dump on OS X!
only tested on 3.03 OE-C.

get umddaxdumper .2 and expand it,
put the "__SCE__umddaxdumper" and "%__SCE__umddaxdumper" on your PSP/GAME150 folder on your PSP

then put the contents of usbhostfs_psp into the "__SCE__umddaxdumper" folder on your PSP
eject your PSP

dl PrometeusPro (donate for this awesome app!)
install it and all necessary components
then start PrometeusPro
Select USB Tab.
Push Open button, select a folder (You don't have make an ISO Folder!)
Push Start

Start umddaxdumper on PSP.
Select USB:/ISO
Select file form (iso, dax, gzip)
Push Start button

That's all!

the terminal method works as well, but I find this easier, and im sure other mac users will find it easy also.

Happy Ripping!
