Okay I’ve got a really weird situation. I just pulled my PSP out to take on a road trip and am finding that, out of nowhere, my PSP will ONLY boot to the XMB if I boot it up holding start+select+square+triangle.

If I try to turn it on normally, it will only load up to the “waves” on the XMB screen background, but the menu itself never appears. If I start it up with the button combination, it will take me through the initial setup with language, date/time, etc., and then will take me to the XMB. This happens with or without CFW installed and with or without my memory stick inserted. If I try to launch my pro CFW, it will take me to the installation screen, I press X, and then the system reboots…to the waves background for the XMB, and I’m back at square one, basically in a loop.

I don’t use infinity because always gave me issues in the past, but this is the first time I’ve ever had something like this happen.

Try and reinstall the OG firmware then reinstall cfw
I did this before to uninstall infinity because it was giving me problems. Ever since then, I have just been using vanilla pro C; the kind you install whenever you turn on the system. It worked great for me until today when this problem randomly started happening.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
