Download 371m33 gps.rar:Here or download from megaupload
Download GMDL 0.5.rar:Here or download from megaupload
Download 352m33gps.rar:Here or download from megaupload

This will work on other custom firmware psp's butvyou will need to go in to the mapviwer folder and replace the .prx files with .prx's from that firmware. to install mapthis 0.5 on 3.52m33 psp's just download 352m33gps.rar open it and put the mapviewer folder inside the GAME folder and if you get an error Game Could Not Be Started just try and move the mapviewer fodler into the GAME150 folder. Good Luck!

settings for 3.52 m33 user's psp: Hide corrupt icons must be disabled( to disable turn off you psp then hold the right shoulder button and turn your psp on it will bring you into a special screen it it dosent then you dont have custom firmware so the GPS wont work anyway. When your in the special screen go to configurations and disable hide corrupt icons),

if
you want better reception with your PSP GPS there is a extension cable
you can buy so that the GPS device isnt attached to the psp. This gives
the GPS device a better signal becasue the static from the PSP isnt
going on the GPS

if your psp-290 GPS device is not working it might
be caused by your psp's motherboard's corrupt files this can be solved
by using keycleaner v1.1- To use, run like normal homebrew. jsut put
the keyclearner folder in side your psp/game folder or psp/game150
folder and run the program

The first screen shows a status of the
keys in the PSP IdStorage (in the flash). It tells you what type of PSP you
are on and what it thinks about the state of the keys. For example, if you
had run the original 2.71 downgrader on your TA-082, it will tell you the
PSP is an original soft-downed TA-082/86.

You can dump the current IdStorage keys by pressing the SQUARE button. The
first time you run it, it creates a folder called keys and dumps the keys into
it. If you choose to dump the keys again, the keys folder will be renamed, and
a new keys folder created. You can keep dumping the keys until you have dumped
them 10,000 times, or you run out of memory on the memstick.

If you press the CROSS key, you will be taken to the Fix Keys screen. You
will be shown a summary of the status of the IdStorage keys, along with a
suggested action to take. If the keys don't need fixing, it will say so, and
your only choice of action is to return to the initial screen. Depending on
how you downgraded your PSP, you may have one or two choices to fix the keys.
One way requires a dump on the memstick of the keys from a stock PSP. You may
call the folder anything you wish as long as it is in the same folder as the
KeyCleaner EBOOT file. Choosing to fix the keys from files on the memstick
will step through each folder in the KeyCleaner folder, showing the status
and state of the keys in each folder. Press CIRCLE to skip to the next folder
on the memstick. Press CROSS to select the current folder as the source of the
files used to fix the keys.

Once you select a folder of files to use to fix the keys, you are given one
last chance to abort - press CIRCLE to exit and nothing on the PSP will be
changed. Press CROSS and the files needed to fix the keys will be written to
the PSP IdStorage. Be carefull about these keys! A bad key can brick your PSP.
That is why you are given every opportunity to exit without changing the keys.

Sometimes, you will be given the opportunity to fix the keys without using files
on the memstick. This option will always be selected via the SQUARE button, and
cannot FULLY fix the keys. After using this option, you will be told that all
the keys but one have been fixed. If at some time in the future, you get files
to fix those keys, KeyCleaner will allow you to do so.

WTF?

dude thats completely off topic and random, who's the boy and who's getting the job and where is the job at? also how does this relate to GPS on PSP?

i cant do malaysia map????

i cant do malaysia map???? kuala lumpur

not working.. Help!!

my psp version is 3.71 (NOT 3.71 m33) I don't know how to get the m33 and what's the difference? help please!

3.71 m33 is custom firmware,

3.71 m33 is custom firmware, you 3.71 is sony firmware, sony firmware puts limits on what your psp can do.

how to get m33?

ok got it, but then how i can upgrade to version 3.71 m33?

how?

because you have 3.71 sony firmware, You have to first make something called a pandora battery then use that to upgrade to 3.71 m33. to do this you will need to have another psp (the older version). Right now only the fat psp's can make the pandora.

mpcartel@yahoo.com

how about upgrading from lower version 3.11 to 3.71 M33-2 is it possible?

Custom Firmware!

Search Pandora Battery! It should be a free download! Will need a memery card W/ at least 56mb! If that will not work for you, can get them on e-bay but make sure that you get the mem card w/ it! If that will not work Then you can ship to me and i can custom your firmware or unbrick both fats and slims!

it wont work for me

When i go on it , it says: The game could not be started (80020148)

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

I have done alot of reading on the installation of GPS software on the PSP and this is the best cut and dry version. Showing a video is worth a thousand words. This works perfectly if you have FW 3.71-M33-2 on a Fat PSP. Thanks and well done keep up the good work!

im glad you liked it, i

im glad you liked it, i remember when i tried to learn there were no directions it was very hard to understand and wasted much of my time

Help me please

Hi mate, I have 3.71M33 and I installed Mapthis 0.5 on my PSP. After I followed the video from this website, things went well. I can download my map into my memory stick and I can view it on my PSP. Unfortunately, after I hook up my PSP GPS 290 device, nothing happened to my GPS. It can't be gotten any signal even I push the square button in order to turn on the GPS. So I can only view my map and use the track mode. I tried to followed many websites. One of them says that I have to extract the usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx files by go into Recovery mode and choose the advance and then Toggle USB(Flash0). So I choosed this option and then it showed that "Flash0 enabled". After that they says I have to go a folder named "kn" to copy those .prx files to my computer. But I couldn't find it in the file which I've got from this website (I downloaded "371m33_gps"). It has only folder named "kd". In this folder (kd), it has those .prx files but I don't think that I have to copy them to my pc coz I have them in my psp/game/mapviewer already. I don't know what I should do with my PSP GPS 290 to run properly with Mapthis 0.5. Please help me. Thank you in advance. My PSP is 1001 and I'm not sure which my motherboard is. But it's printed on the broad that "1C1003". I bought it here in USA.

i already put the .prx files

i already put the .prx files in the folder. If you are using my files then it should work. Did you follow my video and use my files?

help!!!

hey i have 3.52m33-4 i downloaded the files i put them in my game folder but the gps freezes when map this starts...it doesnt even show me the new york map....am i doin something wrong here??? please help..thanx

Follow you video

I do follow your video, every single step. As I told you, my psp gps 290 hasn't loaded to any signal from the satellites. Today I started my psp and Mapthis while I was driving. After the map was loaded, I push Square button to turn on the GPS. It showed that the GPS mode was turned on. I waited for 10-15 minutes. There's nothing loading to my GPS. So I pushed the Start menu to check the GPS info and there's nothing under SATELLTE INFO. I guessed it didn't get any signal. The time function is the only thing that running. I also checked the ADDRESS Look up function but it showed that ERROR ! GEODATA FILE IS MISSING ! I've used all your files. So is there anything else that I should do with .prx files? Plz help me my lord. Thank you.

if the program is running

if the program is running then the problem is not the .prx files or any programs. Do you live within the US? i know geodata might not be available if your not in the U.S. also the problem could be from your GPS device i know there has been rare cases that some psp-290 devices lock on slower or dont work at all. You might wanna try standing outside to see if any satellites show up. What i'm trying to say is that the problems is not with the program installation.

simular problem

could u tell me what did u do to get u'r map this? i'am facing e same problem.

Help with No Signals

I've followed the tutorial. got my psp 290 hooked up...when i turn on the gps no signal show.

this could be caused either

this could be caused either by being is an area with poor signal, bad receiver or your not waiting long enough. Its not a problem from the program.

GPS STATE: OFF

Hi... I'm from portugal and i have the 3.52 M33-4 version.. I downloaded and installed mapthis as shown in your video and used GMDL to get a map from my city.. However when i start mapthis, i connect the psp gps 290, and press aquare it appears "gps mode on". But when i go to "Gps information" it appears in the "GPS STATE: OFF" and i can't lock any satellites.. Can you help me?? thks

GPS-STATE OFF

I have the same problem. As mentioned above usually the keys are wrong on the psp which can be fixed using the keycleaner. One guy managed to get GPS working using pandora battery and upgrading to 3.80M33. Both options didnt work for me. Did you solve your Problem? If so, how did you succeed? THX, HB!

psp gps work like regular hand held gps??????

I have a psp and I was thinking about getting the psp gps device but I want to know if it work like the regular gps with similar opinion such as Point of Interest PIO, voice guidence turn by turn, ets...please help me make my decision...thanks

it wouldnt say the psp-290

it wouldnt say the psp-290 works as good as a hand held, it works but sometimes it can take a while to lock on. But there are other gps devices that you can use on your psp that locks on better, example the Holux GPSlim 240 can also be used with the psp, i just havent had a chance to try it yet.
