Running Tekken 6 on PSP 5.00 M33-6 or higher custom firmware

PSP Tekken 6 packshot

On a previous blog post I wrote down how I got Gran Turismo to work on my Sony PSP running 5.00 M33-6 custom firmware.

Now that Tekken 6 is out the updated security layer and encryption has invalidated this method and made it even more difficult for M33 users to run these new games.

I will spare you the boring technical details, but suffice to say it was only a while until it was broken, and people were getting it to run on 5.50 GEN-D firmware. Eventually those who were generous enough shared information how it was done. Some even took the effort to create a patch that will simply the process for the less technically adept folk.

The one that worked for me was a patch created by The__Android. Full instructions on how to use the patch can be found on this forum post.

In a nutshell, here is how I did it (I copied the original instructions and made a few edits):

  1. Make a backup of the Tekken 6 ISO (I used the UMD version)
  2. Download the Tekken 6 Windows Patcher
  3. Extract the contents of the Patch archive and place the 3 files (patch.exe, patch, and eboot-patched.bin) into same folder as the Tekken 6 ISO.
  4. Go to the properties of your ISO file and untick the read-only box if it is ticked, then click Apply > Ok.
  5. Rename your ISO to “Tekken6″ if you have ‘file extensions’ turned off (this is the default on windows).
    If you have turned ‘hide file extensions for known filetypes’ off you need to rename your ISO to “Tekken6.iso”.
  6. Double click patch.exe and press any key to start applying the patch.
  7. You should see a lot of dots on the screen when it is patching.
    (If you don’t see the dots either your ISO is read-only or is not named right.)
  8. Press any key to close the patcher when its done.
  9. Copy the patched “Tekken6.iso” file to your memory stick.
  10. Change the settings in the XMB (press the “select” button while in XMB)
    UMD Mode: Sony NP9660
    CPU Clock XMB: Default
    CPU Clock Game: Default
  11. Run the game

If all goes well you should now be running Tekken 6 on your 5.00 M33 or higher custom firmware!

Here is a video showing the results on my unit:

Good luck and happy gaming!

Hey, I was just wondering, what CFW are you running? Still M33 or GEN-D already ? Thanks . :P

As you can see from the video, I’m still using Dark Alex’s M33-6 CFW :)

Well, what can you say about changing the CFW to Gen D?
Is it advisable as of the moment, now that the M33 team has stopped working on their CFW? Thanks. :D

Dennison Uy

Gen-D or Gen-D2 is pretty much stable and has gone a long way despite the stigma that GEN firmware still has from back in the day when it was still buggy resulting to bricked units.

Plugins are probably the only reason why you would want to stick to M33. If you are planning on playing the upcoming games then it may be easier to find tools that will allow you to run them on GEN firmware.

Hi there. I can’t seem to understand this part:

“Extract the contents of the Patch archive and place the 3 files (patch.exe, patch, and eboot-patched.bin) into same folder as theTekken 6 ISO.”

should i create a new folder and place the 3 files together with the tekken 6 iso?

I do not understand :(

1. Make a backup of the Tekken 6 ISO (I used the UMD version)
2. Download the Tekken 6 Windows Patcher
3. Extract the contents of the Patch archive and place the 3 files (patch.exe, patch, and eboot-patched.bin) into same folder as the Tekken 6 ISO. (tekken 6 iso is in.rar format :( )
4. Go to the properties of your ISO file and untick the read-only box if it is ticked, then click Apply > Ok. ( i untick it then said if the sub folder as well and I click ok and apply, then when i click prop. the read only is still tick)
5. Rename your ISO to “Tekken6″ if you have ‘file extensions’ turned off (this is the default on windows). (what do you mean by file extensions) :(
If you have turned ‘hide file extensions for known filetypes’ off you need to rename your ISO to “Tekken6.iso”.
6. Double click patch.exe and press any key to start applying the patch. (it won’t work with all force i can do to make it work, it only types about 2 lines and ends)
7. You should see a lot of dots on the screen when it is patching.
(If you don’t see the dots either your ISO is read-only or is not named right.)
8. Press any key to close the patcher when its done.
9. Copy the patched “Tekken6.iso” file to your memory stick.
10. Change the settings in the XMB (press the “select” button while in XMB)
UMD Mode: Sony NP9660
CPU Clock XMB: Default
CPU Clock Game: Default
11. Run the game

very stressful please help :( :(

@Jag did u try the steps above correctly. make sure you follow them properly. if it still does not work i will post the patched version on sum file sharing site. pls try every step carfully as i am running the same cfw and got the game to wrk on the first go. :)

2.create new folder in your desktop or anywhere you want
3 put the tekken 6 iso into the folder along with all the files in the patcher
4. name the tekken 6 iso the following ‘Tekken6′
5. click on ‘patch.exe’.
6. a cmd program wii come up, press space then wait until it says ‘press key to exit’ then press space
7. copy the tekken 6 iso form the folder into x:/ISO

Thanks for all of the above. I was stuck at the black screen until I changed the following from the author:

# Change the settings in the XMB (press the “select” button while in XMB)
UMD Mode: Sony NP9660
CPU Clock XMB: Default
CPU Clock Game: Default

These MUST be at these settings otherwise it will not work.

to those having problems with black screen even following the directions above, download this patcher as well http://www.mediafire.com/?1imnumbij42 . rename your tekken6.iso to psy-tk6w.iso so that the patcher will find the game. hope this works on you as well as it worked for me.
