This guide will teach you how to create XMB-Icons using Taka’s ISO Tool for PSPs using any of the following firmware:

• 6.20 TN-C / 6.20 TN-D / 6.20 TN-E
• 6.31 Hen / Signed 6.31 Hen
• 6.35 Hen / Signed 6.35 Hen

Why? Because the firmwares listed above don’t have native ISO loaders. Using ISO Tool’s create XMB-Icon feature is an alternative to using/installing ISO loaders to run games off your XMB. When creating an XMB-icon, Taka’s ISO Tool will use the built-in Prometheus ISO loader to run games. No need to install plugins like aLoader or OpenIdea or even install the Prometheus ISO loader separately.

Requirements:

• A PSP with any of the firmware listed above
• Download ISO Tool by Taka: Mirror 1 | Mirror 2

If you have no idea how to install ISO Tool, follow this guide (not up yet).
