Strategy SP - Question & Answer thread

Are you sure you're on custom firmware? ie 5.00 M33-6
You need to have that to access the recovery menu, if you do have it you have to do it immediately after you flick the power switch.

... I never said I was on custom firmware... I tried getting it but.. all the pandora crap was confusing.. Do I need a pandora battery thing-a-majig for 5.00 M33-6?... >_<

[Drunken Watermelon]

If you can update (if you're not already on) to 5.03 on the official firmware I believe you won't need that battery. I have never tried going to custom firmware from 5.03 so I can't state the difficulty of it.

Do the 961 idols never make accidents in their performances?

...or am I just really lucky?

Mine get into accidents like there's no tomorrow.

I did it before on someone else's system and it's not too hard after you get the hang out of starting up a certain exploit.

(Though I don't really recommend cheating at any game)

Like, you're the person that's been posting various cheats all the time.
Hypocrite.

I guess luck is mostly a factor, or if you equip enough accessories to boost the stats up.  I only have Perfect Sun so I have to use default idols for the rest.  Sometimes I'll get accidents with those guys, other times it'll be perfect.  Do you deck the 961 idols out with accessories or are you just using their regular clothes?

Uh... I've already beat ACX and Ridge Racer without cheating...

Do the 961 idols never make accidents in their performances? Because after months of playing SP, I have never seen Hibiki, Takane, or Miki make a single accident during their performances in Office Mode (even though their vocal, dance, and visual stats aren't maxed out).

I always enter mine in the easiest possible audition and then appeal equally to all categories. They've never had accidents that way. Then again maybe I'm also simply lucky.

err how do I downgrade to 5.03?...

it would really help if someone could send me a tutorial or something like that.. ; - ;

Google doesn't really help me with all this stuff

What is your PSP's firmware at anways? And what is it a PSP 1000 or 2000 (older 2000s, not the newer ones you can buy off the shelf...)

If you've already upgraded to 5.50, then you're SOL for the no pandora battery method. You'll need to buy one or have yours converted to one with somebody else's already CFW'd PSP.

I have it upgraded to 5.50

Okay, here's one:

Or if you have an original Sony battery from the PSP 1000 you might be able to get a friend's PSP and convert that to a Pandora.

Before you insert that pandora, make your Magic Memory Stick. You'll have to google for that, but it's not hard to find a good magic memory stick maker program.

Do you deck the 961 idols out with accessories or are you just using their regular clothes?

I'm just using their regular clothes, with no accessories at all.

[Logan]

This is more like a request than a question, but could someone with iDOLM@STER SP give me a Wandering Star game save with all outfits and accessories and stuff? Or point me to a place that has them? All my previous data got deleted.

[BT2]

Let me try a curriegrad2004 imitation

You can use CWCheat to get everything, but I don't recommend cheating in games even though I brought said issue up.



Anyways, in my opinion unlocking new stuff the regular way's half the charm of doing auditions.
Also, you'll be using someone else's Producer name if you uses another's save.

I'm too lazy to be captured by any charm.
