This is a step-by-step guide to installing PSPRadio to your CFW. I encountered some problems so I’ll be pointing these out later.
Requirements:
- PSPRadio v1.18.1400 - You can download it here
- Slim Sony PSP Custom FirmWare (CFW) by Dark-Alex - I’m using 4.01 M33-2 but I heard some people were able to make it run on 3.80 M33-x. And originally, I think this was meant for Fat Sony PSP 1.50 but I don’t know anyone who has this so I can’t confirm it.
- Wireless network (Wifi) - Make sure your PSP Wifi connection is setup properly. You need to connect to the internet to stream music from Shoutcast.
Procedure:
- Connect your PSP to your computer via USB
- Go to Settings
- Select USB Connection
- Once connected, you can proceed with the PSPRadio files
- Extract the RAR file (PSP_Radio_v1.18.1400.rar) on your computer
- Inside the PSP_Radio_v1.18.1400 folder, you will see the following:
PSP
PSP_Radio_PLB.zipPSP_Radio_PLB.zip is the playlist maker for PSPRadio. I can’t seem to make this run. No worries. For the meantime, we’re focusing on the PSPRadio itself.
- Go inside the PSP folder and you will see the following:
GAME371
- Go inside the GAME371 folder and you will see the following:
PSPRadio
- Copy the PSPRadio folder to your PSP in the following directory:
PSP\GAME150
- In your PSP, this is how it should look like:
PSP\GAME150\PSPRadio
When I first installed PSPRadio, I encountered a folder error. In the RAR file PSPRadio resided under folder PSP\GAME371. I noticed that folder GAME371 did not exist in the PSP folder. So I created the folder GAME371 and copied the PSPRadio folder under it just like the RAR directory structure. However, I couldn’t find PSPRadio under the Game > Memory Stick menu. And when I moved the PSPRadio folder into GAME150, I could see it. Just take note of this.
- Once done, you can disconnect your PSP from your computer
- In your PSP, go to Game
- Select Memory Stick
- Select PSPRadio
- It should start up and try to connect to your wifi. However, when I first ran PSPRadio, I encountered an error. It said:
Error Starting Network
And when I checked the error log (PSPRadio.log) I saw this:
ERROR - WLANConnectionHandler : sceNetApctlConnect returned ‘0×80110601′
This simply means it cannot connect via wifi and you need to check your settings.
- To check your settings, click on the Start button
- In the WiFi setting, you should choose your wifi connection name. If you don’t see your wifi connection name and instead you see this:
WiFi: Off ♪≡i♂
Then you need to delete your wifi connection settings and create a new one. I don’t know why this happens but this means PSPRadio can’t read your existing wifi connection.
- Once you’ve recreated your wifi connection, try running PSPRadio again. This time, it should automatically detect your wifi connection.
- Just use the Triangle (▲) button to navigate between pages and select your radio station. Use the X button to play and the Square (■) button to stop.
- I tried creating playlists with the included playlist maker (PSP_Radio_PLB) but it had some errors. I explored using Winamp playlists and it produced the same playlist format (PLS). I simply uploaded the playlist in the Playlists folder inside PSPRadio.
That’s it for now. Happy music streaming!
