PSPI’ve recently received an email about instructions on accessing the Recovery Menu on PSP. This menu is used my homebrew users to set different settings like ISO loading mode, Sony logo skipping, and setting the processing speed of your PSP. I have already briefly mentioned how to access this menu in an earlier post, but it was not very clear and detailed. So I’ve decided to dedicate an entire post to it. In the future I will blog about different settings that I found in the menu, so stay tuned in by subscribing to my RSS feed!
Start by fully turn off your PSP by holding the power button for a couple of seconds. After the screen goes dark, you know it’s off, and you can let go. Then press the big R button on top, and hold it. Next turn on the PSP (still holding the R button!), and you will see the recovery menu. Simple, eh?

Hey, I read everything i could on this, but I still can’t reach my recovery menu on my slim psp. I have official firmware 3.80, I always hold the R button down when i turn the psp on (yes, on, not from standby) but the psp continues to the main menus as if the Recovery menu didn’t exist!
HELP!

You need to be running custom firmware, not official firmware.
oh, thanks much!
hi,i can access the recovery menu but when i try open the configuration section the psp restarts any ideas? im on cfw 3.90m33-3. thanks
Alex and me have the same issue every time i started my psp while holding the r button it continues to the main screen. now i know the answer, i have to be in custom firmware. now my question is what cfw should i upgrade into?
