To run isos and csos on a psp no matter what firmware you have you need a umd inserted to trick the system.
Not quite true any more, custom firmwares have a "No-UMD" mode, which you can turn on through Recovery Mode.
3.52 M33, for example, has the "Sony NP9660" No-UMD driver which has over 99% compatibility (I think).
