Unfortunately most of my custom firmware experience has been with the PSP1000 and older PSP2000's (much easier to "hack" as far as I can tell), and am rather outdated as far as newer hacks go, however this guide seems easy enough to follow;

This guide assumes you're using the 6.20 TN-E custom firmware, so if you're using a different one you may be SOL as far as this guide goes. It would be easier to help find a solution for you if we knew what custom firmware you're using exactly, as well as perhaps what guide you used to install it; do you still have a link for it?

Yeah it is 6.20.and I went all over the net,particularly YouTube

Alright, good to know. Have you tried following the guide I linked to in my previous post? Here's a couple more links to guides in case the first one doesn't work, seem simple enough;

Modern CFW (PRO and ME) already come with multiple ISO loaders. Prometheus is redundant when we have the Inferno driver .

Where did you put your PSP ISOs? Remember, they do not go in the GAME folder ("ms0:/PSP/GAME", where "ms0:/" is the root of your MemStick) they go into the ISO folder. If your CFW did not automatically create one, make one yourself in the root of your MemStick. Additionally, take them out of any other folders they are in, so just the .iso/.cso is in the ISO folder.

Side note: .cso= Compressed ISO, meaning that they are smaller. Save space by using either CISO XP or PSP ISO Compressor to compress your PSP games.

The PSP can not run PSX (PS1) games natively, so you have to use use PSX2PSP (or a similar program) to conver it to a EBOOt.pbp. There is a guide Here. These do go in the GAME folder.

Hope that helps.

That's what I assumed, given the bit of research I've done over the last couple of days. The only issue being it sounds like OP is on an older CFW that doesn't have the built-in iso capabilities, and I was just recommending a loader that should work on what he has, rather than trying to figure out if he could even install the newer CFW. Of course if he can given the type of PSP he has, even better

I remember when there were only a couple different branches of CFW and they were all essentially the same function-wise, with all the new models and exploits out nowadays it's a serious clusterfuck in comparison. =/

Both PRO and ME have 6.20 versions, and there aren't very many exploits anymore. Now you just put PRO in your GAME folder and run it from the XMB no matter what PSP you have.
... Speaking of which, it would help to now what CFW you have installed, tenshi_musha.


But I know what you mean. It can be nearly impossible to Google general questions about this stuff without hitting a wall of outdated information, most of contradicting. Just keep looking at the dates, I guess.
