Impossible d'atteindre le menu recorvery

Post by Pierre43 »

Automatically translated from French.

Good evening,

After multiple searches on different forums with no conclusive result, I'll allow myself to post my question here.

One of my isos doesn't work while the other does.
Here's what it shows right after this iso starts loading
[Résolu] Impossible d'atteindre le menu recorvery
I'd then like to change UMD ISO MODE to set it to NP9660SONY or to INFERNO

But here's the catch: impossible to reach the recovery menu
I press the select button (as instructed) but nothing happens...

Details:
Psp slim 3004
LCF 6.60 pro b10.
SD magicgate tm 4go "compatible"

Could I have your opinion on this please?
Thanks in advance

try holding R at boot for the recovery. Then maybe you need to change the console's region for the game

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately holding R won't work since it's a light custom firmware and not a permanent CF.
Since it's a slim 3004, the permanent patches are incompatible (so no cipl_flasher)
Also, it seems to me that the R button only concerns cracks on 5.50gen (I might be saying something dumb :lol: ).
I'll see if changing the region works :xmas:

The thing is both isos are both japanese isos
The one for monster hunter 3rd works perfectly
The one for monster hunter pokke pokke airu village G is the one giving me this message

EDIT: Apparently to de-region the psp you have to go into the recovery menu
But the main problem is that I can't reach it :mrgreen:

having a fat I don't know much about light custom firmwares so I'm also talking nonsense :D :98:

isn't recovery a plugin on light custom firmwares? if not there might be a key combination

After a quick search and thanks to your deduction I found a small plug-in that finally lets me access the recovery menu
https://www.pspgen.com/forums/vsh-recov ... 38458.html

However changing region doesn't change anything at all on the 2 isos (it's still the same one that launches and still the same one that shows me the error message (screenshot 1st post).

Even changing the umd iso mode to NP9660SONY doesn't solve the problem...
I think it must come from the iso itself then :?

Anyway thanks, the main recovery menu problem has been solved :)

Everything for PSP
