I dont really know if it is smething so please dont blame if it is not!
A few days ago i read about some secret position on the power switch that no one new how to use. There were no discription for how to put it the power switch in to that position so i just started to experementate.
What i found out was a little surprising for me cause i never heard about this.
The thing is that if you put the switch in to position between normal position and the hold position and turn on the usb mode PC wont recodnise our PSP as it usually happens it will say that it found a new device without a driver for it. At ferst i fought that it was just a bug on my PC but then after doing it a few times i understood that it is not.
So this is presisly what i did to jet that.
-first i turn my psp on
-then i go to system menu
-then i put my psp in hold mode
-then get the swith nearly to the normal position so that in hold sercle i can see like 1% of that yellow that i normally see (this is not so easy to do so it doesnt worck all the time)
-then turn the usb mode on
I hope this can help
p.s. Sorry for my english i am from Russia

Well if it is real, what does this do? Does it access the flash?

koshei · 01-18-2006, 01:50 PM

i do not know my pc simply says that it doesnot recodnise the device in the usb and that it has no drivers for it. Automaticly searching for drivers doesnt give any effect....
so i really dont know
i have v2.01 if its important

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 01-18-2006, 01:59 PM

Hmmmm, that shouldnt really matter if its in hold or not. I dont think an exploit could come of this though, but interesting find

**Master Inuyasha** · 01-18-2006, 02:21 PM

Im going to try that, and master shake, that link in your sig, when the guy upgraded his firmware, cruel. PSPHAckorz, or whatever, was wrong in doing that, and what ever people say about isos, and stealing, that is wrong, and not amusing at all. I think a mod should remove that link as i find it to be offensive.

I was the one who made the original YTMND, psphaxor9 made him upgrade and made the thread and kept on bumping it. I never kept on pushing it on everybody, that was his doing. If he would have searched then he would not have done something so stupid. If it offends you, don't look at it. The same goes for TV, you dont like a show don't watch it. I kinda feel sorry for the dude but it is just a joke. Now back on topic...

BTW: The mods removed my link to it and I really don't care, we were just having a little fun.

**Master Inuyasha** · 01-18-2006, 02:46 PM

Im just saying, that bull. It was cruel no matter what you think. I didnt even giggle, it wasnt funny at all. I have nothing against you, you just showing people how some people are stupid, and others are cruel. Maybe PSPHackorz should update and see how it feels. We are all n00bs, just because he was going to use an iso, doesnt give ANYONE the right to do that. I belive inky is right 100%. Now, on topic yet again, i havent gotten it to work how it should, maybe something im doing wrong, i dont know...

koshei · 01-18-2006, 02:48 PM

actually please lets get back to topic cause from my n00b point of view it might be usefull.
What i just found out that it worcks only in the direction i showd it
If it didnt work for the ferst time (the switch was not in the wright position) the exit the system menu go to the browser(without opening it) then get back to sys menu and try it again.
I dont know if i am wright but maybe in this position of power switch we can accses flash from the pc.
Did anyone tryed it and did it worck? or maybe its just a bug in my PC USB ...
p.s maybe i should try to make a video but the problem is that my web cam is very(1998) old and that all my system on PC and PSP is in russian.

**Matt123** · 01-18-2006, 02:58 PM

I tryed this and couldn't get it to work, but if you want to mess with the drivers you can while it's in USB mode anyway, but theres nothing you can do with it.

I have a 1.50 so it might be why i cant do it because I got it about 1% like you said.

i have a question koshei, what opperating system are you running on your pc?

koshei · 01-18-2006, 03:08 PM

windows xp. wright now i am trying to make a video

**st.jimmy** · 01-18-2006, 03:17 PM

sorry, but this probably won't do much of anything...

thats very interesting, because xp has no problem finding drivers normally...

and you say that the driver isnt found with hold switch semi on...

interesting, but i dont know if you are going to get an exploit on it, but good find, and good luck on the video

koshei · 01-18-2006, 03:22 PM

i am terribly sorry but when i rebooted my pc and pluged psp it to another usb drive i wasnt able to do this thing again so i suppose that was just my PC bug or something
I should have done this before posting the thread
Anyway i was only trying to help. Sorry
i ll try a little bit more but i think thats it
OH and i forgote does anybody know about that secret position on the power switch and how can we get in it???????

**Killer 7** · 01-18-2006, 04:34 PM

idk ill give it a try real quick though

edit -
Ok well i think i almost got it, i did exactly that and i got that hourglass thingy to appear next to the mouse for a second, but nothing happened. But i have an extremely loose hold so its kinda tricky and i only got it once so far. Ill work at it and see if i can confirm this. but that hourglass could have ment nothing since i was also listening to music, and downloading something. But downloading never causes the hourglass and same goes with windows media player. So it might have worked

Hardrive · 01-21-2006, 07:14 AM

u allways get hourglass next to cursor when u plug in psp cause it is lookin at the device thru usb (which is slo), and its lookin for the driver to use

**Ibanez32** · 01-21-2006, 08:10 AM

I just tried this and it recognized it everytime from a half up to fully up.
I remember someone brought up on ps2dev forums that it was a four state switch.
But i think it was acounted for as off / standby / on / hold.
I'll have to read through it again.
