pspbrew 4 dummies

This tutorial is basicaly for noobs. think of it as a guide to pspbrew.....

PartI- NooBz w/ Qz

NooB Q #1. how to put homebrew on your psp?
if ur a regular u know this an obvious Q. but a few noobs were bothering me w/ this one.
first u need to download some homebrew here.http://www.pspbrew.com/?page=downloads&cid=3536 then plug in ur psp mem stick and open up ur psp file.
then open up ur game folder. (or make a new game folder, depending if u dont have one)
select the folders u just downloaded and drag them into the 'game' folder. unplug ur psp and see if it worked. if not try it again. hope it works out


NooB Q #2. How do I check my firmware and mother board?
to check the firmware(version) u need to be at the 'home' menu on ur psp. then go to
settings> system settings> system information. u should get a screen that saya something like this




Now to identify a motherBoard... there r two kinds of main motherboards: a TA-082
("ta" 4 short) and a normal one. if ur a noob, then u probaly have a ta. confirm ur motherboard below. this is a TA-082 motherboard.



if there r no little red numbers and it is blank, then you do not have a ta motherboard.


NooB Q#3. What is the root of ur mem stick?





NooB Q#4. How do i put a full-length psp game on my psp?
first off, there called ISOs. to play them u have to make a new folder at the root of the memory card in an 'ISO' folder. this is what it should look like:




NooB Q#5. how come my wireless WLAN switch isnt working?
what happened is u probaly droped it. i was personaly struggling withis problem and i
found out that i had to get it fixed. u can take it to a shop or look up people that will fix
online.


NooB Q#6. How do i activate recovery mode?
well first you turn ur psp all the way off (hold power for 3 secs). then u turn it on while shaking it
realy fast.-jk.lol. u turn it on while holding R. if u have 2.71 se-* a blue screen will show up. if u
3.0* oe-* a purple-pinkish screen will appear.
preveiw.............................




NooB Q#7. How do i run homebrew on a custum firmware?
well, u go to recovery mode then hit configuration. then u'll see it say 'game folder hombrew
(curently running *.** kernal) make it say 1.50 kernal, by hitting X.

PartII- NooBz in forums (theese tips will help u be better at posting good topics
and the regulars not to get completely annoyed by u)

#1 Before u post, Read the rules http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2469

#2 NO SPAMING.
its cool do voice ur opinions but dont make obvious topics or always
say the same crap like............ cool.............. i agree............. lol............... good idea. if ur gonna
post something like that atleast add some feed back. if everbody did that the forums would be
pointless and extremely boring.

#3 no " flame war" topics.
a flame war is when its a bunch of trash everybodyz throwing around. its not cool!
here are some topics u may want to avoid because they probally will cause a flame
war:
- the DS is 100 times better than a psp
- homebrew= homosexuals
- this is the worst website ever

making topics like these will cause a super flame war.... and u will be hated.

hope u guys like this tutorial. and i hope u n00bs learn somthing from this.lol

great job cause im tired of noob questions lol But wait and see someone will ask where do i put my isos ahhh...... the iso folder lol

ya i asked all the mods some Qz they ve been getting that were annoying/ obvious
and i turned it into this guide. also, twordas the end of making thics mailas G said there was something similar by im on teh computer. i looked at it and saw it was kind-of old
so i still went a head and finished it.

I liked im on teh computers better (no offence) but good job.

Hehe, thanks Mailas.
But to arto14, yeah I know it was really old, and I have really been wanting to update it, so maybe I'll get to it someday when I'm looking for something to do (I'll have to be really bored, and just pray I don't get my Wii before then, or at least some good games for it, because then I probably will never even see the light of day except for at school). But thanks for filling in the recent blanks for those who needed it. Everybody seems to be chipping in with a tutorial here and there, so good work.

to be honest i didnt even know about ur tut. Malais G pm-ed me and he told me about urs n i was like shat! there goes an hr of work. but i stil did it cuz i saw urs wa old

i cant get the bios bin to work can u help me

ill pm u the link 4 a bio bin

I like this but if it is directed at a beginner then it needs to be cleared up quite a bit more. I don't mean to be a grammar nazi or anything but a tutorial should have words/ terms spelled at least 95% correct in my books.

Also, all motherboards are "ta" motherboards. There are more than two different motherboards as well.

Just do a little research and clean up this a bit more so it is more useful to the end-user.

TA-079-TA-082

Listen to the all-powerful Wizard of Oz next time arto

but yes, they are all TA-XXX something. I had only known of 079 - 082 but it has been speculated that the newer silver psp has a TA-086 motherboard... so if that is true it would only be reasonable to assume that the range of motherboards is from 079 - 086... but I can't confirm that at this time.

i know that. im just trying to make sound simpler 4 the noobs
