PSN Castlevania SOTN on 3.40 oe (now 3.52 m33)

[Drklazarus26]

I just recently bought Castlevania :SOTN on the PSN. Although I am able to play it on my PS3, I am not able to play it on my psp because i need fw 3.50. Is their any homebrew alternative or workaround that i can use so that i can play the game on my psp?

I would guess that 3.51 OE from Team M33 would play it...

(update) i just tried it and no go. putting it in any other folder crashes my psp.

Official Firmware 3.52 is just out now, and it seems that the only change is an improved compatibility with the PSN titles...

I do not think it will take long before the russians make CFW 3.52 m33

Well.... This must be your lucky day, because the M33 Team has just released the 3.52 M33

Available from their homepage http://m-33.narod.ru

EDIT: And for those who does not speak russian O:-), it is also available from HERE

Here is the latest update:

- Now uses 3.52!!!
- M33 NO-UMD: fixed problem with Simple 2500 Series Portable, The IQ Cube
- Fix a bug which made Go!Cam, GPS and sceKernelLoadExecVSH* not work in game mode.
- PSN downloaded PSX games support wasn't working in 3.51 M33 (didn't work in latest OE's either). Now it is working again. If an original PSN game still doesn't work, we recommend to delete files KEYS.BIN if exists, and copy the game again from ps3 to psp.

Team M33

Do not forget to tell us if you can finally play the downloaded Castlevania game from PSN. According to the README.TXT file (At least somebody reads them  ) it should work.

That's good to hear  

By the way, try not to write like in an SMS as to keep the forum topics as readable as possible.

I am sure there are non-english speakers reading this forums, and I also sure they will be struggling to understand what's written with all that: b4, thx 4 da, etc.

Thanks.
