Any troubles with this PSP 3000 hack?

jatot
GEN-B file is not recognize with my psp3004 with GEN-A installed already…it says corrupted files…
see if you set it up in the folder: PSP \ GAMES … if it does, try to do it again, hang up your psp and strip the memory card …
return the memory card and repeat the whole process (remember that you can get to be 1 so there for 20 time)
almost certainly giving … if it does not format the memory stick for psp and turns to do it again …
hugs
