How do you uprade psp firmware to 3.52 m33-4 I put the file into UPDATE in GAME but when i go to the memory stick icon on the psp it says corrupt data. How do i upgrade?

I believe that you have an official firmware. Most probably, applications wont work at all in an official firmware. But it's nothing to panic. You'll first have to downgrade your PSP from the present level to the below level (eg:- Downgrading from 3.52 to 2.0). After you install a custom firmware you can open up applications and even update hacked softwares. It's a long story how to downgrade but if you want proper and safe instructions, e-mail to me at hhidden@rocketmail.com. By the way my true name is Samitha Gurusinghe. This would be quite difficult for you pronounce so just call me Smith G.

Types of device drivers?
There are only two types: software and firmware. A software device driver is a program written for a particular operating system to support a particular piece of hardware. A firmware device driver is also software, but it is etched onto a memory chip (ROM) or a programmable chip (PROM or EPROM). The BIOS and CMOS are examples of firmware drivers, both used to initially boot the system and load the operating system.
10 When reallocating memory if any other pointers point into the same piece of memory do you have to readjust these other pointers or do they get readjusted automatically?
As for pointers, I think you have to readjust them. Pointers are just variables that store a memory address in them. You can have as many pointers that point to a single location in memory as you want.
Which hardware component contains instructions that are used during the booting of the computer?
That would be firmware such as the ROM BIOS or the EFI. That is Read-Only Memory or a modern variation. BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System, while the newer technology EFI stands for Extensible Firmware Interface.ROM doesn't require in any batteries. Even EPROM, EEPROM, and NVRAM don't use batteries. What did use batteries was the CMOS memory which may be separate from the ROM, though it could be in the same chip or part of the real-time clock chip. That was not Read-Only Memory, since you would use the CMOS setup to change it. If it can't be changed, no battery would be required. When that battery dies, you only use the hardware settings, not the code that brings up the computer.
When you use action replay codes for kingdom hearts why does it corrupt the saved data..even when you havent added any codes?
Because the action replay is technically not supposed to be used with the PS2. It corrupts almost all data eventually, because it spreads through the memory card.
Definition of memory and its types?
Memory refers to the physical devices used to store programs (sequences of instructions) or data (e.g. program state information) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in a computer or other digital electronic device. Computer Memory is two types as Primary Memory and Secondary Memory at the base of uses. The term primary memory is used for the information in physical systems which function at high-speed (i.e. RAM), as a distinction from secondary memory, which are physical devices for program and data storage which are slow to access but offer higher memory capacity. When data of Primary Memory stored on secondary memory is called "virtual memory".Primary MemoryThe term "memory" is often (but not always) associated with addressable semiconductor memory, i.e. integrated circuits consisting of silicon-based transistors and used as primary memory. Primary storage (or main memory or internal memory), often referred to simply as memory, is the only one directly accessible to the CPU. The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and executes them as required. Any data actively operated on is also stored there in uniform manner. RAM used for primary storage is also volatile, i.e. they lose the information when not powered). Cash Memory is also a super fast then RAM and it working for only processor.There are two main types of semiconductor memory: volatile and non-volatile.Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (sometimes used as secondary, sometimes primary computer memory) and ROM/PROM/EPROM/EEPROM memory (used for firmware such as boot programs). Examples of volatile memory are primary memory (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM).Secondary MemoryThe term "storage" is often (but not always) used in separate computers of traditional secondary memory such as tape, magnetic disks and optical discs (CD-ROM and DVD-ROM). Secondary storage (also known as external memory or auxiliary storage), differs from primary storage in that it is not directly accessible by the CPU. The computer usually uses its input/output channels to access secondary storage and transfers the desired data using intermediate area in primary storage. Secondary storage does not lose the data when the device is powered down-it is non-volatile. Hard disk, CD and DVD drives are usually used as secondary storage. Some other examples of secondary storage technologies are: flash memory (e.g. USB flash drives or keys), floppy disks, magnetic tape, paper tape, punched cards, standalone RAM disks, and Iomega Zip drives.
How do you delete the system update from your memory card for psp?
If you connect your PSP to your PC with a USB cable, you can manually delete the upgrade installer from your memory card. This is not to be confused with downgrading the PSP firmware itself. Once you run an upgrade, the PSP's firmware is flashed and upgraded, deleting the update file won't do anything about that.
When you format your PSP does the mod get deleted from the PSP?
I'm not sure what you mean by "the mod" but I think you may be referring to a "custom firmware". If so, you can safely format your PSP's memory stick without removing the custom firmware. This is because the custom firmware is stored in the internal PSP flash memory, not on your memory stick. If you want to remove the custom firmware, you will need to just install an official firmware onto the psp. The easiest way to do this is to put in a PSP game that comes with a firmware upgrade and choose that option. Then I would recommend having the psp do a Network Update.
What is the difference between a firmware and malware?
Firmware is software saved on a memory chip that can be executed at later times. Malware is malicious software that aims to corrupt your computer.
Why your psp 1004 ver 6.60 do not open games in memory stick?
If you're having trouble playing downloaded games, connect to the PSN and try to redownload them, the installations might have become corrupt or they need an update to run on the current firmware.
Can you undo a dsi system update?
No, system updates can't be undone. Once you've run the update, the old firmware is 'gone'. Running a system restore or formatting system memory, will only provide you with a clean version of the updated firmware.
Your PSP system software is 5.55 how do you update to version 6.10?
To upgrade to the latest version of the PSP system software (currently version 6.10) download the upgrade to your computer and pass it to the PSP, using Settings, via a USB cable or USB memory stick. See links below for download links - note the localised links at the bottom of the page.
How does firmware work?
Firmware is software installed on an electronic device. It gives instructions for how the device works, similar to a OS such as Windows. Firmware is usually stored in the flash ROM of a device. While ROM stands for "read-only memory," flash ROM can be erased and rewritten because it is a type of flash memory such as a Memory Stick. You may need to update the firmware of certain devices, such as hard drives and video cards in order for them to work with a new operating system or to fix problems they may have. Sometimes manufacturers release firmware updates that simply make their devices work more efficiently and add features. Make sure that once you start a firmware updater, you let the update finish, because most devices will not function if their firmware is not recognized. The PlayStation Portable is one such device that offers firmware upgrades to enhance it's features and stability. Please see this wonderful firmware FAQ. If you ever decide to upgrade to a "homebrew firmware" which is firmware not released by Sony, do it your own risk: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=918340&topic=40931944 I hope this helps Tehee This doesnt tell what u actually use it for
You have psp version 5 and want to upgrade to version 6 will you lose the games on your memory card?
Upgrading your firmware version does not affect your save games as it is changing the on chip system and not the memory stick.
Your system software is 5.55 how to update 6.10?
To upgrade a PSP system software of 5.55 to 6.10, first download an upgrade to the computer. Then pass the upgrade to the PSP, using Settings, with the use of a USB cable or memory stick.
Can I hook an external memory card reader that accepts all the different memory cards to my computer?
Yes you can,the Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 memory card reader is such an example, sometimes you need to upgrade the software and firmware that comes with reader on thier website.
What is firmware software?
Firmware is the combination of persistent memory and program code and data stored in it. Typical examples of devices containing firmware are traffic lights, consumer appliances, digital watches, computers, computer peripherals, mobile phones, and digital cameras. The firmware contained in these devices provides the control program for the device. Firmware is held in non-volatile memory devices such as ROM, EPROM, or flash memory.
What memory section is also known as firmware?
Ram
