PSP Region Code

Hi, i have a CW Japanese PSP Fat and i had 3.71. I tried to view US UMD movies but it always said it was the wrong region. Then i heard that with a CFW i could remove/change/ or whatever the Region Code to view US UMDs. So im now on 3.52 M33-4 and i dont know how to change it. I would really appreciate it if someone told me how. Thanx.

Turn your PSP completely off, hold the power switch up for a few seconds. Then hold teh R button while you turn your PSP back on. You will enter the Recovery Menu, from here, go to Configuration, then down to 'Fake UMD Region' and change it to whatever.

i changed the Fake Region to America and it still said the UMD movie was "Wrong Region"

I tried it, and still said "Wrong Region". this is strange because a friend of mine has a Silver Japanese PSP and it worked for him. even he was stranged by this and he is a real Pro in stuff like this.

Well just in case i have a Pandora's Battery and i think it says something about pressing [ ] to restore nand or press 0 to ... Or then, just in case you want to know, i have 3.52 M33-4 so if i need to upgrade to 3.71 M33(-1,-2,-3) or 3.72 HX-1 let me know.

any suggestoins or anything?

I dont know why but upgrade to 3.71-3 and see if that helps. I bet it will. Still tho, when u do upgrade make sure to add 1.50 kernal (seperate download) and change the region code to America or fake region code and try then

Odd,i had this problem when my nand became corrupt, but then no games or movies will work. So i doubt it is that. You might want to try updating to a newer firmware.

might wnt to help me wit that problem only mine is a slim japanese wifi,umds,games and updates won't work it says:game can not be started wrong reigon code

I have been tryin to get to the recovery mode & its not workin. Any ideas anyone

i've been following these directions: Turn your PSP completely off, hold the power switch up for a few seconds. Then hold teh R button while you turn your PSP back on. You will enter the Recovery Menu, from here, go to Configuration, then down to 'Fake UMD Region' and change it to whatever.

But im having no luck. Please any help would be great!
