Custom Firmware on Japanese PSP
I have a friend that has a japanese PSP. I was wondering if it's possible to install Custom Firmware on it the same way I did on mine.

I used a pandora + magic memory stick using 3.71m33-2(or 4, i forget), I used these to install CFW on one slim and 3 phat PSPs so far, they were all american PSPs.

Can I use these same files to install CFW on my friend's Japanese PSP? Her PSP is a phat pink PSP she's had almost since launch date.

I was thinking that maybe I'd need the OFW from the japanese site, or maybe the PSP can pretty much be turned into american firm ware via turning it into CFW. I don't know and I am a bit on the dark on this, so help please~ Flatterd

Oh I see, nice~

Hmm.. so by installing CFW on her PSP.. that means she'll also be able to watch region protected UMD movies, right? I remember her telling me she had a few she couldn't watch on her PSP. I think you can do so by using the fake UMD region in the recovery menu.

The fake UMD region option doesn't work, i expect that region is stored either using hardware, or perhaps in IDstorgae keys. Even if you use an english/amercian update, it will retain japanese region lock unfortunately :(

I guess you could try downloading the movies, and converting, instead.  The UMD format for movies is really a shame...

RE: Custom Firmware on Japanese PSP
Hmm.. this is odd, I just installed CFW but now she can't run the game beats she got from the Playstation Store.

Is there any way to fix this?
