What firmware are you using? If you install one of the Custom Firmwares you can switch the X/O arrangement, aswell as opening up all sorts of extras. If you post what firmware I'll try and find you a few links for downgrading upgrading.
raoulduke, atm I don't have time with exams, but in a week or two I'll give it a go. I've never done it before so I can't really offer much help. My only thinking is make sure that the folder structure is the same on the virtual memory stick as on the real memory stick.
Set the fodler/drive you will use and then have an ISO folder for ISOs and then the normal GAME folders for your PSX ones (I can't remember how PSX games were structured, but do it the same, if you understand what I mean).
Hope that helps

| @Freakshow - thanks for your tips on setting up the virtual memory card - I wish I'd read your post sooner it took me a while to figure that out! I've since learned that video files need to be in PMP format to be streamed from the PC (either via USB or WiFi) - the IRShell devs would have to use some sony code to stream the files in the PSP format. You then need a PMP plugin for IRShell and you should turn off no-UMD mode in your recovery menu AND IRShell. You also need to set some other config options in IRShell - Non-MS Media Access and Redirect APP View to Host need to be enabled. Once I have the PMP plugin and conversion software I'll report back. It looks like only audio, video and some homebrew will run this way though - streaming ISO is asking a bit much, it'll work but not to a playable standard. @Munkoms - As for picking up some tips on PSP homebrew - it really does depend on what PSP model and firmware you are currently running, it sounds like Freakshow has more experience than me with this, I'm mainly getting by on what I've read at http://www.psphacks.com/ AND http://www.pspmod.com I've never posted there though - they don't seem like the most friendly or tolerant bunch (unlike here!).......

| I think I've got a PSP 1000. At least that's what it says on the bottom and the Firmware is 3.93. I'm really looking for an idiots guide if there is such a thing.

| Okay - you've two problems here, PSP firmware is regularly updated and therefore so is custom firmware. As a result any guides to installing custom firmware are usually slightly out of date. Your second problem is that you can only update to custom firmware from the official v1.5 firmware. Due to your PSP's firmware you are going to need a Pandora's battery (Google it or check ebay) to downgrade your current firmware to v1.5 so you can install the latest m33 version. Here's a guide; http://forums.noobz.eu/downgrader-support/pandoras-battery-jigkick-battery-and-magic-memory-stick-tutorial-guide/0/ Personally, I just borrowed the kit (battery and a setup memory stick), so I haven't tried to use this guide. You should find everything you need on the web for under £30 if you don't want to try yourself. EDIT -- Ooops - should mention that you need to be careful when creating a Pandora battery as if not done correctly you will not be able to go back to using the battery as normal in your PSP.

| Looks like I'm in for some tinkering. I'm interested in doing it but once it's done what can I do that I can't do now (apart from switching the X\O buttons)?

Play homebrew. That includes home made games, emulators and backup ISOs (including PSX titles).
You can also customise the PSP to change the title screen and fonts.
I'd just like to say that I would rather stick to 3.40 OE-A as the M33 firmwares don't seem to support standby. So you'll be playing away and then will ahve to quit the app before putting to sleep.

| Can't speak for any other M33 firmware but if you get 3.90M33-3 it has full standby and sleep support. You can use sleep when playing either UMD's or ISO's (although I've yet to try PSX emulation), and if your battery runs out it'll keep the point you were playing at in memory until you can get to a charger and plug-in. You can also set the sleep options to power down the system when not in use. I've been told that the latest M33 firmware has all the features of official sony firmware but I've never used a PSP without M33, so it maybe that Freakshow is talking about a feature I've never even seen........... I think the biggest drawback of M33 is that it is updated fairly regularly and this can caused compatibility issues with other applications (hence some of the issues I've had with IRShell).

| I knew this might start a bit a discussion about which CFW is best. Presumabley if it all goes wrong I can restore the PSP to it's native state somehow? Nothing worse than trying to explain that his PSP is now a shinny brick because Dad got bored and needed some way to get through arainy Sunday. Both the CFW mentioned seem to do the same things so for an absolute beginner (with PSP hacking not PC's) which is easiest to follow?
