Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/ezymoney you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products. Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate, I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true, but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day) You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS. Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!" There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

Do you need the PSP USB cable for this software, or can you just place the memory stick directly in the comp?

» little help

hey i need a little help understanding something here. i owned a psp a very long time ago and i had fw 1.5 which i upgraded to dark alex 2.71 se b but im able to downgrade it. i moved to a new place n i thought i had lost my psp. well like almost a year past and i just recently i found my psp again. Well now i want to upgrade the psp to the latest cfw but im totally confused since i havent messed around with the psp for a while. Is this cfw worth upgrading from a 1.5fw or what? also once i upgrade would i be able to downgrade back to 1.5 if i liked? I couldnt sound any more noobish but its been a while

Re: AzrAeL (Unregistered) - 2007-08-04

» get 352 m33 you'll like it

it's worth it. and yes you can go back to 1.50 if you want. just copy the 1.50 eboot into the recovery path on yer new firmware and your back to whatever you want.. but i don't see why you would want to.. 352 m33 is 150 and 352 together there's no reason to go back.

can u use this custom firmware if u already have official sony firmware 3.52 installed on psp

Re: sigh (Unregistered) - 2007-08-04

» sigh

no you cannot... just wait for a downgrader now...

Re: Teh Brad - 2007-08-08

» ...

I have the same problem... it seems that you need to downgrade to a certain fw version to upgrade to a custom one and seeing as 3.51 and higher stop downgrading... we have to wait for a downgrader specifically for those versions. All I can say is if you are on 3.51 and want to downgrade... stay there... dont upgrade to 3.52 just incase they come out with one for 3.51 and not 3.52. If one comes out for 3.52 and not 3.51 then upgrade then downgrade then upgrade to a custom fw. Thats a lotta ****.

by Thyshale (Unregistered) - 2007-08-05

» theres a bug in the app but easy to fix

at time the installing the CFW and its because the app doesn't move the new" data.dxar " file over into the PSPGAME0oeflasher. folder for when you are about to flash your psp...

Does the full version come with the EBOOTs built right in, so I don't have to hunt 'em down?

Re: Teh Brad - 2007-08-08

» Correct

I downloaded it and it has updates 1.50, 2.01, 2.80, 3.03, 3.40, 3.50 and 3.52 built in.
