Notes about the "Game Folder Homebrew" option:
If this option is set to 1.50 Kernel then you need to put:

• Older Firmware (1.00/1.50) homebrew in the "PSP \ GAME" folder.
• Newer Firmware (2.xx/3.xx) homebrew in the "PSP \ GAME3xx" folder

If this option is set to 3.xx Kernel then you need to put:

• Older Firmware (1.00/1.50) homebrew in the "PSP \ GAME150" folder.
• Newer Firmware (2.xx/3.xx) homebrew in the "PSP \ GAME" folder.

Replace '3.xx Kernel' and 'GAME3xx' with the custom firmware version of your PSP. example:
'3.52 Kernel' and 'GAME352' for 'Custom Firmware 3.52 M33'
'3.40 Kernel' and 'GAME340' for Custom Firmware 3.40 OE'


Notes about the "Skip SCE Logo" option:
If you only want to disable the UMD autorun, you can do this from the settings menu
in the XMB by going Settings > System Settings > UMD Auto-start: Off


3. Once you have finished with changing the settings in recovery mode, choose "Exit" from the main menu.
