I also have a question, I have V3.80 M-33 Firmware at the moment but it isn't too important for what I need.

Of my favourite PSX games, the one I want to play most is Brave Fencer Musashi, which as it turns out seems to be the only one that I struggle to get anywhere past the starting cutscene before the game freezes up.

Can anyone tell me how to get this working, if they have?

Like anything else... try downloading the original iso and making your own psp version... leaving the compression setting to the lowest (larger file size). This always fixes freezes with me.

Apparently BFM doesn't work for anybody. It's one of the main games having issues, that just won't load past the intro.

This happened to me but with Chrono Cross, all I did was change the ID of the game to one that works and got passed the freezing point, but with that the quality of the game went down a bit, nothing big though and I barely noticed it after awhile, it was the music that stuffed up sometimes. Also try using pops loader, y'know playing it on different firmwares, that worked for Destruction Derby 2 which only seems to work on 3.11 firmware.

EDIT - Now I don't know if these are real or anything(Probably Fake) but they look cool anyways..

i don't know how you found those images without figuring out they're not real, since most sites showing them do so with a brief paragraph and a headline talking about how some fan made them!

it's good, yeah. way better than the current one. the shoulder buttons are absolutely fucked, though. with that design, they'd honestly probably need to be on the backside of it.

I found those on my desktop, my brother probably found them so I didn't know(found out just before) but I could see myself using that.

Yeah, those are fake images. Just a concept somebody made up. Personally, I think it looks horrible. The controllers would be way too hard to grasp for most people. The screen is nice, but it looks more like a PSPhone than anything else.

Done this with PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J versions of the game, still to no such avail.

I've changed the GameID to SLUS 01222, SLPS 01222 and SLPS 01490 all of which don't work.
Since I'm a real newbie from only having my PSP for a week, I read up that I might need to downgrade back to 3.40, is there any easy way of doing this?

Grab a PS1 emulator for your PC, pass the part where it freezes and save it? You can transfer your save files easy so that shouldn't be a problem.
At least that's how I would do it.

I just got a 3.71 PSP off of a friend of mine. Two questions:

1. What is the difference between 3.71 and 3.71 M33? Is there a way for me to get the M33 version, and do I need it?

2. I've seen that I can downgrade my 3.71 to 1.5 with use of a "pandora" battery. How do I do this, do I need to do this?

I've been trying to make a Pandora battery... apparently I need an already modded PSP to do it?

Yes, you do. The other way is to buy a pandora battery off of Datel. Then you just make a "magic memory card" and you're good to go.

Well, its either that, or do it with a fat psp :\

I could have told you how to hack the battery you have already (thats what I did), but sony already put out new batteries, that can't be hacked, and I'm guessing you have one of those so...... (unless you bought it post december)

Its actually a system I'm gusssing from quite some time ago since I hadn't bought it new. It is an original model.

What version of Brave Fencer are you guys trying to play? If the title screen says Brave Fencer MushaSHIDEN then you're playing the PAL version which I know for a fact doesn't work yet seems to be the most commonly spread version on the internet.
