On a PSP with CFW installed, you can swap the Cross and Circle buttons to change which button is to confirm and cancel. You may wish to do this if you have a Japanese PSP and want to change the confirm button to Cross.

Swapping

  1. In the XMB, press Select to open the VSH Menu. Then select Recovery Menu or Enter Recovery. If pressing Select does not bring up the VSH Menu or the recovery menu option isn't there, turn on the PSP while holding the Bumper Right button to boot into the recovery menu.
  2. In the recovery menu, select Registry Hacks.
  3. Select Swap O/X Buttons or Button Assign.
  4. In the main menu, select Reset VSH or Exit.

The PSP will restart. Your Cross and Circle buttons should now be swapped.
