Does FF7-8 Work on it? I've never had a chance to play those 2.
I just upgraded my TA-082 downgraded 1.5 firmware PSP to 3.02 OE-B. It's amazing. Emulation still works flawlessly on my SNES and Genesis games. I'm going to see if I can find any PSX games that can fit on a 512mb memory stick. If not, then I'll just have to invest in a larger one.You can get a few ISOs that have huge resources like FMVs and CDA tracks removed, which drastically reduces their size. I had a Ridge Racer ISO that was like 1.8mb iirc.
Also, that does look pretty solid. I could see there were just a few emulation issues, but that's perfectly fine.Which ones did you see? I didn't see any.
That's incredible. That's a reason for me to get a PSP.
Which ones did you see? I didn't see any.
The biggest issue so far are the games that require multiple discs, but don't let you save before the disc change. You can play the first disc fine, but when you play the second disc iso, it tells you to load the first one.I don't know a single game that does this... maybe Fear Effect. Every multi-disc square game I know has this, I'm certain Dragon Quest VII has it, and so does Grandia.
I think I'll be buying a frickin' memory disk just because of this. How much does 2 gigs cost now?Should be about $50 on amazon but I bought mine almost 6 months ago so I'm certain the price has dropped.
And a big hardy FUCK YOU goes to shadowtext.Wow. You spend entirely too much time thinking about me, if that's your first thought when reading this. Especially as I don't see how this is bad for me.
I don't know a single game that does this... maybe Fear Effect. Every multi-disc square game I know has this, I'm certain Dragon Quest VII has it, and so does Grandia.I think that unless you manually save right before entering the Blast Furnace, you'd also be unable to switch the Metal Gear Solid discs.
Which ones did you see? I didn't see any.Just some framebuffer issues, it looks like. Notably the cursor when you go to select a target.
Wow. You spend entirely too much time thinking about me, if that's your first thought when reading this. Especially as I don't see how this is bad for me.
EDIT: I take that back. It is not possible to think about me too much. But it is odd things that make you think of me, and that is the bad kind of weird.
I had heard something about being able to play any PSX game on that device now, and that's a pretty cool little development that definitely makes it a more attractive device. Legend of Mana on the go would be pretty neat....any word on the battery life when emulating PSX games this way? Like I would assume that it would be more of a drain than using the "official" Sony method.
Also, if I bought one would I be allowed to mention THAT DEVICE by name without Chainer going apoplectic?
Pirating PSX games is not homebrew.
Wait, what's going on between you and chainer?That Final Fantasy Tactics topic I made about the FFT port/remake for PSP included in its title a pun on the term "tactics" that he took as a slight against the PSP, and it lead to this whole big thing. The only explanation I can think of for his comment earlier is that he's still smarting from it.
Resident Evil 2 (it crashes partway through)
SkullmonkeyARGH SKULLMONKEY IS SO AWESOME
Which version? Dual Shock version should work.
You could READ the topic because the first post has a video of FF7 playing and also says EVERY PSX GAME.
(With few exceptions. At the moment, games with multiple discs that do not allow saving right before a disc change cannot be played in their entirety.)
My only real question is why Sony hasn't added this feature themselves. They are losing millions because of this.They were working on a PSX emu for the PSP. I'm not sure if it's out though...

This IS the Sony added feature... it is just hacked to let us use our own ISOs.
They were working on a PSX emu for the PSP. I'm not sure if it's out though......This is the emulator Sony was working on.
Iim sure FF7-8 Is multiple discs and the youtube video is the first part of the game...As I said earlier, all multidisc sony games allow you to save before the disc swap.
My only real question is why Sony hasn't added this feature themselves. They are losing millions because of this.It is Sony's added feature but Sony agreed to lose millions when they decided that you require a ps3 to do this... considering there's some 200,000 ps3's circulating the 300 million Americans alone.
Oh god damn why did I have to upgrade to 2.82 back in July?!
SONY IS FUCKINGUSME AGAIN :argh:
I'm getting some errors in Wild Arms 2 - when in battle the menus and stuff do not show up properly or don't show at all... But that could be the iso I downloaded. We'll see if I can play past early stuff where it's PRESS X ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK.The real question is, why are you even playing Wild Arms 2?
Persona 2 has sprite clipping.
That's probably the most PROMINENT game that has this problem.
Edit: The ones that don't work are (so far):
Resident Evil 2 (it crashes partway through)
Yeah, you're not missing out on much.

Persona 2 or Resident Evil 2?
Anyways, I have a copy of the original Resident Evil 2 so I'll try ripping it and playing it myself. Maybe it's only the dual shock version that fucks up.
Wait, how the fuck you guys are going to play some games that use both analog sticks and L2 and R2? I'm just kinda wondering.

Is there any other way to charge a battery in a PSP without using the AC adaptor? Like the usb port or something?
Can you still play roms when you upgrade? Like SNES and GBA games?
also, why can't you just upgrade to 3.02 without downgrading first?
I'm currently playing Dino Crisis on it as I've never played it before or any other adventure/horror game either. Everything has been going smoothly.
I know man, I just beat MegaMan Legends in one sitting last night. I've been trying to beat that game for years but I guess the novelty of being IN MY HANDS got the better of me.
Also, do you know what the sizes of the pictures (ICON0, PIC0, PIC1) are supposed to be? I'm getting tired of seeing HOTSHOTS 2 as my icon and background.
Note: DO NOT use programs such as pbpunpacker to modify pbp's generated by popstation. They won't
work after that.
This is great news.
I'm very behind on this entire psp hacking scene, so just wondering, do I still need an unpatched copy of GTA:Liberty city stories or whatever it's called to downgrade from a regular 2.60 psp to 1.5?
No. You can simply upgrade to 2.71, and then afterwards downgrade to 1.50 from there.
This is pretty off topic but an interesting article:
http://www.pspfanboy.com/2007/01/03/debunking-a-psp-myth-it-has-no-good-games/
I'm sure we've all seen internet jerks spout off that the PSP has no good games, so this blogger goes on Metacritic and looks up every American published Nintendo DS and Sony PSP title to see which one has better reviews for their games. I don't need to post the results here, I just wanted to provide the link as a kick in the balls for any idiot fanboys that might show up in the future.

Is it possible to beat MGS? Since there's the Psycho Mantis battle where you have to plug your controller into Slot 2.
Also: Holy shit they've released 3.03 OE-A! This new one lets you generate COMPRESSED psx eboots, so you can put even more games on your memory stick!

I've just got a psp and I want to use some homebrew stuff however I'm not too sure what to do or how. Could someone give me a little help?
It's ay FW version 2.81, not a clue what the motherboard thing is. Also I think this PSP was made in 2005, if that helps.
Okay, I own a PSP but I know nearly nothing about them. I don't have TA-082 motherboard (I think), and I don't feel like destroying my PSP just yet.
So how should I downgrade?
Pretty much most games for the PSX don't use Analog sticks.Shit, Oddworld Abe's Odyssee uses the L2 and R2 buttons I think!
L2 and R2 usually aren't important but I haven't tried anything where they were required so far.
Shit, Oddworld Abe's Odyssee uses the L2 and R2 buttons I think!
There goes another game :(
There's sprite clipping in Vagrant Story? Where? Maybe I'm not far enough. (I just got to the town.)I'm in the forest and I notice that randomly you can see little black "cracks" where the tiles are pieced together. Maybe "clipping" isn't the right word for it.
Yeah, Mateui, figured it all out, thanks anyway! Was just trying to get up to 3.02-A, but since I only have 30 megs atm, and it needs 35~, I'm screwed for the time being. :) In the meantime, I've got another related question. When trying to upgrade to this latest version you posted, 3.03-B, you need to have 3.03-A installed. Can I go directly from 1.5 to 3.03-A, or do I need to go 3.02-A, -B and then upwards?
So, looks like Suikoden II freezes not very far into the game (was excellent as far as FIRST 30 MINUTES GOES anyway), so I think I am going to get Xenogears as I've hear good things about itI read something about a suikoden II bug where your name had to be 6 letters in all caps or something for it to run. Sounds stupid, I know, but might as well give it a try! Oh and I've been enjoying Scummvm on my psp immensely, and portable FFT is a dream come true.

I upgraded to 3.03 OE-B, and I notice that some of my PSX games now show up as corrupt data... any reason for this?
You may have to remake the eboots.
Is anyone else having problems with FFVII? I converted disc 1 from my own copy of the game, and running 3.03 OE-B, there are some minor graphical glitches during battles. The initial BATTLE SWIRL doesn't work, the names and hp/mp stats etc. flicker annoyingly, and some other small things. The video in the first post, though, shows the battle running perfect.
What's wrong :(
Apparently, if by some strange reason you upgraded your PSP past 2.71 (or were like me and didn't know you shouldn't have), someone broke the latest firmware using the old Liberty City exploit:
Link (http://pspupdates.qj.net/Goofy-exploit-by-Noobz-Hello-World-on-firmwares-2-0-3-03-/pg/49/aid/80581)
I haven't tried it yet, but I thought this was pretty good news.
3.03 OE-B.But it didn't seem to have fixed it. FFVIII still crashes during the first Dollet visit. I've had it crash during two different actions in the battle (right at the moment of loading the battle animations) with the large snake.
The major updates to this firmware are:
- Changed the structure of the program to have more free ram in game mode (This supposedly fixes some of the PSX games that have been freezing at times like FF8)

Yes you can use TA-86, and no, unless you are pretty retarded it will not brick. The steps in the guides provided are fairly fool proofBut you should still check it out carefully. I have a TA-82 and had to use a different hack than normal to downgrade mine.
Pillsbury did you read anything in this entire topic at all?
You don't need GTA at all. Yes you can use TA-86, and no, unless you are pretty retarded it will not brick. The steps in the guides provided are fairly fool proof
Do you not get why? They came out with downgrader for 3.03. That means if you couldn't downgrade already... you can upgrade to 3.03 and then downgrade.

If you had bothered to look at the link I posted, it's for a version 3.03 downgrader, which happens to be the firmware version of my PSP. Hence my curiosity as to whether this is a viable option for me at this point, without putting my PSP at severe risk of brickage.
About bricking... does the recovery console not solve this problem? I mean... it does let you run a "recovery eboot"... that I assume can be used to restore your firmware to a valid one. Doesn't this make the risk of bricking moot?
I should very much like to know the answer to this question, if anyone is capable of giving it. If I attempt a PSP 3.03 downgrade via Vice City Stories and my PSP gets bricked, will I be guaranteed to be able to recover it, or will I be stuck with a worthless chunk of silicon and plastic?Well, in your case you will be bricked, and being bricked literally means you will be stuck with a worthless chunk of silicon and plastic.
Well, in your case you will be bricked, and being bricked literally means you will be stuck with a worthless chunk of silicon and plastic.
However, you CAN use Liberty City Stories to downgrade. And again, being bricked means your bricked.
Hey does anyone know if it is possible to change the order of the icons that show up when you select your memory stick?
I want all my PSX games at the top and in order but I dunno how.
You can do it manually. Whatever game folder you've copied last onto your drive is what shows up first. (Basically MOST RECENT type of deal)Aw man but that'll take years :(.
Ok, so I just bought a PSP and my firmware version is 2.71. I read a guide and found out that I have a TA-082 motherboard. I'm going to download the files and see if I can get the homebrew to work. If I brick it I can take it back to EB for a new one as I have a one time replacement warranty.
Yeah, I was about to say this. You can always have your unit replaced, whether by the dealer or the manufacturer. Since there's no physical damage, there's no one to say it isn't a defective unit.
Ok, I think I have all the right files; I followed the guide from the third post in this topic. I'm just charging my battery and then I'll give it a shot.
Yeah but it needs to be at 75%+ otherwise it just won't let you do it.
Don't you mean PSX isos so you can play them in your PSP?
Symphony of the Night - Runs perfectly, twenty minutes of gameplay so far.
Do not compress this game. You will get lock ups later on in the game if you do. This is guaranteed.
570mb should be fine I would think. Also, hook me up with the torrent? Please?
The PSP is quickly turning out to be one of the best systems I own;
I'm guessing the PSP GBA emulator runs exactly the same as the Virtual Boy? IE no Pokemon day/night cycle etc?
570mb should be fine I would think. Also, hook me up with the torrent? Please?
Mininova is your friend.
570mb should be fine I would think.
Anyone have any personal experience with these emulators, or can vouch for their performance/compatibility?
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Step-by-step guide to turning your 2.71 non TA-082 PSP into a 3.02 OE-B PSP[/size]
Yesterday, after spending like 4 hours trying to navigate through a bunch of pages and getting some assistance from Izekeal, I managed to downgrade my PSP to 1.50 and then back up to 3.02. Some people have requested that I write a guide on how to do this. This is to help people who don't want to spend hours and hours searching the web for guides and files required to do this, especially when a lot of the links are dead.
NOTES
- While doing this upgrade, it's highly advised that you do not have an UMD disc inserted in your PSP.
- Your PSP's firmware MUST be version 2.71.
- Your PSP must NOT have a TA-082 motherboard. Details on this later.
RESULTS
By doing this, your PSP will now be capable of:
- Playing PSX games
- Playing PSP games that you have downloaded.
The guide
Step 1: Preparation
Your PSP needs 2 things installed to be able to downgrade to 1.50. One is the downgrader itself and another is HENC. But first...
Checking your motherboard
Okay, this is very important. This guide will NOT work if your PSP has a TA-082 motherboard. Do not even think of doing it if you have one of those.
(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/24569/pspboardphoto.jpg)
You need to look for some codes. They're written in bronze color and can be a little hard to see.
- If the code "IC1003" appears on the right (red circle), your motherboard is a TA-082, and you should not follow this guide.
- If the code "IC6001" appears on the left (blue circle), your motherboard is a TA-081, and updating using this guide is perfectly fine. The number was upside down for me.
Installing HENC
1. Download HENC here: http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/24569/hen_c.rar
2. Extract the files somewhere using WinRAR.
3. Copy the files from the MS_ROOT directory to the root of your memory stick.
4. Back to your PSP now. Enter the photo viewer and open the folder called HENB.
Now, the first time you do this, the screen will be blue. After that, you will see one of two results. Your screen will either be red or green.
RED: The files could not be written to the flash. This will happen more frequently if you have an UMD disc inserted. If it happens, just keep trying until you get it right. It took me 4 tries until I realized that I had an UMD disc inserted. When I removed it, it worked at once.
GREEN: The operation was successful. Your PSP will then reboot and HENC is installed.
Note that you won't have to do this process anymore. If you turn off your PSP, you'll have to run the program again, however there will be no writing to the flash. So you'll only see a blue screen and a reboot.
Step 2: Downgrading to 1.50 firmware
1. Download the downgrader here: http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/24569/updateflasher.rar
2. Extract the files somewhere using winRAR.
3. Copy the files from the MS_ROOT directory to the root of your memory stick.
4. Now you want the 1.50 EBOOT.PBP. Since this is a rather large file, I cannot host it. However, you can download it here: http://www.psphacks.net/files/PSPFirmwares/1.5/
5. Rename the EBOOT.PBP you just obtained to UPDATE.PBP and copy it to /PSP/GAME/UPDATE/.
6. Run the program from the memory stick submenu under the game menu on your PSP.
NOTE: Make sure you save the EBOOT.PBP you just downloaded for later use. It will be required in the process of updating your PSP's firmware to 3.02.
Once this process is complete, you will be met by a screen showing a bunch of different languages once you start your PSP up again. This indicates that your PSP has been reset back to 1.50 and you have to set it up all over again. Once you've done that, go to the system menu and check out the system information to confirm that you've successfully downgraded to 1.50.
Step 3: Updating to 3.02 OE-A
A 1.50 PSP is fine and dandy, but you really want to update to 3.02 if you want to achieve the full experience.
1. Download the updater here: http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/24569/11867_302OE.rar
2. Extract the files somewhere using winRAR.
The next step needs to be done only once provided that you save the file that you obtain.
Generating DATA.DXAR
1. Copy the folders oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME/.
2. Obtain the 1.50 and 3.02 EBOOT files. You should already have the 1.50 one if you saved it like I described earlier in this guide. These files need to be renamed into 150.PBP and 302.PBP. Once that is done, place them in the oeupdmaker folder.
NOTE: I am not able to provide the 3.02 EBOOT. It's another large file and I cannot afford to host it. However, for premium members and staff, Izekeal has uploaded it to the zoo. You can find it at /Games/_Izekeal's Games&Stuff/302.PBP. (Hopefully this won't get purged too soon)
NOTE 2: dark_crystalis managed to successfully make this work with the Japanese version of the 3.02 firmware. I haven't tried it myself, but if you want you can give it a try. Download it here: http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.02-JP-PSP/pg/12/fid/11627/catid/163
3. Run the oeupdmaker program just like you ran the downgrader program from the games menu. This process will take a long time. As long as the memory stick LED is flashing, it's still working on this task and you should remain patient. This step will generate DATA.DXAR and put it in the oeupdmaker folder. Save this for later use if you want to skip this step.
Flashing DATA.DXAR
1. Copy the folders 302oeflasher and 302oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME/.
2. Copy the generated DATA.DXAR from oeupdmaker to the oeflasher directory.
3. Run the flasher program just like you've run the previous programs through the games menu. Note that this has to be done with 75% or more battery.
4. The program will continue showing an agreement. Press X to accept and flash the custom firmware, or R to cancel and exit to the XMB.
5. Once this process is done, shut down the PSP manually. Once you start it up again, you will now have 3.02 OE-A firmware.
Having 3.02 OE-A firmware implies that you can now play PSP ISOs that you've downloaded. However, to play PSX games, you will need to update to 3.02 OE-B firmware.
Step 4: Updating to 3.02 OE-B
1. Download the updater here: http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/24569/11867_302OEB.rar
2. Extract the files somewhere using winRAR.
3. Make a directory in your /PSP/ folder called GAME150.
4. Put the OEB_UPDATE folder in the /PSP/GAME150/ directory.
5. Run the program from the memory stick game menu.
This process will be really short. Check out the system information to confirm that you've updated to OE-B.
Playing downloaded PSP games
If you download a game in .cso or .iso form, you can put it in /ISO. If you do not have this directory, create it. You can then load the game from the memory stick submenu under the game menu.
GUIDE EXTENSION: Updating to 3.03 OE-C
Requirements
- Firmware version 1.50, 2.71 SE, 3.02/3.03 OE (Any version)
Results
- The ability to play PSX games without having to obtain KEYS.BIN
Notes
- I have not tested if emulators works with this version, but it's highly likely that they do.
Alright, so this update allows playing PSX games without having to obtain KEYS.BIN. You will have to turn the ISO in question into a PBP file using AutoPopstation4 (I chose that because it comes with a BASE.PBP).
Step 1: Updating to 3.03 OE-C
This is another full install of a firmware. Like before, you need to obtain a DATA.DXAR. Note that none of the files from the previous update are required (Except 150.PBP), so if you don't want a clogged up directory, you can either delete them or move them somewhere else.
1. Download the updater here: http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/24569/12396_303oe_C.rar
2. Extract the files somewhere using winRAR.
Generating DATA.DXAR
1. Copy the oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% directories to /PSP/GAME if you're on 1.50 firmware or /PSP/GAME150 if you're on any of the other firmwares mentioned above.
2. Obtain the 1.50 and 3.03 firmwares and rename them 150.PBP and 303.PBP. The 150.PBP file that was used earlier in this guide is fine to use. 3.03 can be obtained from http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.03-PSP/pg/12/fid/11844/catid/163 Put these files in the oeupdmaker directory.
3. Run the program from the memory stick menu under the game menu.
Flashing DATA.DXAR
1. Copy 303oeflasher and 303oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME if you're on 1.50 firmware or /PSP/GAME150 if you're on any of the other firmwares mentioned above.
2. Copy the generated DATA.DXAR from oeupdmaker to the 303oeflasher directory.
3. Run the program from the memory stick menu under the game menu.
This process will take a long time as usual. Once it's done, reboot and confirm that you're now on 3.03 OE-C firmware in the system information menu.
Step 2: Making PSX games work
Okay, for this you need a program for your computer. It's called AutoPopstation4 and is a modification for PopStation. Basically, it makes your life easier by providing a BASE.PBP and game codes for a lot of games. It also guides you through the process instead of making you manually do the command line stuff.
AutoPopstation4 can be obtained here: http://dl.qj.net/AutoPopstation4-PSP-Tools-Utilities-(on-PC)/pg/12/fid/12400/catid/193
Using AutoPopstation4
1. Put the ISO of the game you want to convert into the root AutoPopstation4 directory (Where AutoPopstation4.bat is).
2. Run AutoPopstation4.bat
It will then guide you through making a PSP image of your PSX image. Now the only catch here is finding the right game code. This can be done in 2 ways:
1. If you're sure of which version your game is, search for the game in the game code list when prompted to and obtain the code from there.
2. Mount the image with Daemon Tools. When you access the virtual drive, you will find the code in the root directory.
I have not tested #2 on more than one game. I downloaded Suikoden 2 from the zoo and I found this file:
SLUS_009.58 (Which makes the gamecode SLUS00958)
I don't know if this is a consistant theory, but it works as a backup solution if you for some reason can't find the code in the code list provided with AutoPopstation4.
When the process is finished, you will be directed to the Results dir where you will find your generated PSP game folder. Copy that folder to /PSP/GAME and your PSX game is ready to be played.
Read the readme provided with AutoPopstation4 for instructions on how to make custom graphics, etc.
Shit man, this is making me want to buy a PSP...Should I invest in one?
Well Sony is making some kind of slim psp version, but that might be unflashable.There's also talk about them including SMS and Phone capabilities in it. But yeah, chances are these new psps will come with the latest firmware to impede homebrew users. I don't think they'll be coming out any time soon, so you might as well snag up the original PSP.
:hmm:
Sell crack.Exactly, anyways, Ohk Has anyone else got Destruction Derby 2 on there PSP, because I just downloaded it and it shows up and everything but every time I try to play it says "game couldn't start, data corrupt" But no one else seems to have any problems with it, I'm running 3.40-OE-A.
Great, now all i have to do is find someone selling a PSP for cheap! (I do have the money, but I think my parents are getting pissed at my videogames budget)
Do what I do with my girlfriend, and just hide them! Nobody can get mad at you for ridiculous video game purchases that you keep hidden.Or just buy less games and save your money?
Alright so I'm gonna be giving this custom firmware thing a try. I'll be taking my little brothers PSP and hope that it's not 3.10 or higher. He hasn't messed with it in months so it should be fine.Look at the instructions in the PSP emulation topic that Hunter posted. Can anyone give me a link to Legend of Mana, and tell me if its more than 300megs cause already got heaps of shit on my psp aye haha, I love my psp now.
Should I still follow skauert's instructions even though they're a couple months old or find some better ones?

Now its time for me to watch the next Bleach episode.
This guide right?
Oh, and if the firmware is 2.81 or 3.0/3.03, then the only way to downgrade is to find an unpatched version of GTA: Liberty City Stories right?
Look at the instructions in the PSP emulation topic that Hunter posted. Can anyone give me a link to Legend of Mana, and tell me if its more than 300megs cause already got heaps of shit on my psp aye haha, I love my psp now.
Also, can somebody PM me the link to where they get their playstation iso's?
Argh, I'm tired so I typed this really fast....
I'd like a PM to some ISO's as well, please.I PMed the both of you.
Thanks for the links guys.Most games you download that will work on the PSP aren't always 400+ megs, Unless your looking at Square Games and most RPGs, I mean, Ridge Racer 4 is only 9 megs compressed with nothing ripped but when you extract it, it ends up being 700 megs!!! Id say If you want to be able to play our games on the go stick with the psp, but if you just like to play it at home on a rainy day or whatever, stick to ISOS.
Oh, I've also already changed my boot screen, and my gameboot thanks to some tutorials at the website. I'm learning a lot more about this every day.
By the way, is there a difference between compressed PS1 games and just the ISO? Most games are about 400MB but when they're compressed they seem to be about 50-150MB. I've heard some say that they just took out certain cutscenes and other things to cut them down. So my question is, should I stay with using ISO's or use compressed games? I'm just wondering because I don't have that much space on my PSP left.

ANYWAYS I was wondering, How do you change the Icons and Background pics, cause I just wanna change a few oh and what are the sizes for the Icons And Backgrounds?
Amazing! This is excellent news as now everyone with a PSP will be able to downgrade in the near future. Lumines is also a must-buy game, and it's relatively cheap at the moment, so it's a win-win situation.Looks like my friend is in luck.
Looks like Lumines has jumped up 14,600% in Amazon sales. Word sure gets around quickly. :woop:
Looks like my friend is in luck.Hey Thanks for the Site, now I just need to know HOW to implement them.
By the way, you guys can import that Final Fantasy Anniversary game(I think it's already out here). I've already got the second one, and it's not supposed to be out here in America until late July. It's really not worth it though unless you haven't beaten them before.
Oh, and since you were on the subject of icons and backgrounds Eijin, I've got a cool site with a bunch of nice ones for your PSX games.

Daedalus PSP R12 Released
I've just finished uploading the latest build of Daedalus PSP:
Daedalus PSP R12 for v1.00 Firmware (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/daedalus-n64/daedalus_psp_R12_v100.zip)
Daedalus PSP R12 for v1.50+ Firmware (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/daedalus-n64/daedalus_psp_R12_v150.zip)
Daedalus PSP R12 Source (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/daedalus-n64/daedalus_psp_R12_src.zip)
As usual it will take 20-30 minutes for the files to propagate across the Sourceforge mirrors, so please be patient :)
Here is the list of changes:
* [!] Fixed issue preventing Goldeneye from being loaded.
* [!] Fixed dynarec for Goldeneye.
* [!] Fixed dynarec for Super Smash Bros.
* [!] Fix various texturing issues with 4bpp and small or non power-of-2 textures.
* [!] Fix TexRect instructions with negative s/t components.
* [!] Fixed the HUD in Mario 64 (broken in R11.)
* [!] Fixed lights in F3DEX2 microcodes.
* Correctly implement instruction fetch exceptions, improving compatibility.
* Improved floating point compatibility.
* Correctly handle mask_s/mask_t tile values.
* Implemented a few custom blend modes.
* Screenshots just cover visible viewport.
If you've been following the updates on this blog over the past month the most obvious change is that Super Smash Bros. is now running well with dynarec enabled, and many graphical glitches have now been resolved. The compatibility fixes were specifically aimed at Super Smash Bros. but may well fix issues with other roms too. Overall SSB is looking and playing much better than it was in R11, but even at 30-40fps it's still not running at fullspeed yet. There are a few graphical issues that still need resolving, but all in all it's starting to feel very playable with frameskip set to 1 or 2.
Goldeneye is also running in R12. Although the intro sequence is running very quickly and with few noticable graphical issues, a lot more work is needed to it running at a playable framerate in-game. I think it's a good start though, and something to get excited about for the future :)
Otherwise R12 just has a fewm minor compatibility and graphical fixes - there are no optimisations for this build.
As always, leave your feedback on the comments pages. I read all your comments and I'll do my best to reply to any questions you raise. I'm particularly interested to hear if any roms which were broken in previous releases are now running in R12.
Enjoy!

Does this mean that my 3.5 or whatever firmware (I updated when I bought Final Fantasy 2 Anniversary) can now be modified to run my PSOne rips? I'm not really that interested in piracy -- not for ethical reasons, but just because I'm more interested in new games -- but it would be nice to finally have the option.You aren't modifying your firmware. You have to downgrade using Lumines and install a new custom firmware.
You aren't modifying your firmware. You have to downgrade using Lumines and install a new custom firmware.
That is so fucking semantic, seriously.Basically YES, I found it funny when you said "More interested in New games" when you just bought Final Fantasy II haha. :happy:
I am asking, "yes" or "no":
Does this mean that I can ACHIEVE EMULATION ABILITY, or whatever very specific language you are asking for, through this exploit, even though I have the newest-newest official firmware? Are there motherboard limitations or anything?
Basically YES, I found it funny when you said "More interested in New games" when you just bought Final Fantasy II haha. :happy:
It's not my fault that PSP games suck and I have to settle for remakes. :(
I really love the PSP, but seriously, I'm getting pretty sick of its library sucking.
Do you have Gurumin?
Has anybody else had trouble running the new Dungeon Maker? I've acquired two version and both didn't work.
Buy the game from the store and It will work.Why buy a game that I'll play for 10-15 hours and that I can get for free?

To support small publishers like XSeed that bring great game like Shadow Hearts, Wild Arms 4 & 5, Brave Story PSP, etc. stateside so you can be able to get the game in the first place.
I absolutely LOVE Brave Story. The game is awesome, and looks almost as good as a PS2 game.
What firmware do you have again, Mala?
Got a weird problem with Chrono Cross, I have 3.40 OE-A firmware and I can play the game until the first boss at the Lizard North place and I'm fighting the boss and the game just freezes, also Sometimes it just has this huge ringing sound if I try to play it sometimes, so I used the popstation thing to use it on a different firmware and so far it cant even play it on any of them except "Original with flash, currently playing it now with it and its working but Ill edit this post if it freezes again. Yeah It froze again but during a normal battle this time.
i think there's a plugin for psp that lets you take screenshots with the sound buttonYup, there is. You can do that if you have custom firmware.
I wonder how IGN DO do it, though. I guess they rig the console up to a PC or something, as all their screens are .. well, yeah, screenshots.
i think there's a plugin for psp that lets you take screenshots with the sound buttonWhere, though? I found one or two but they either ONLY worked on 1.5 or only worked on true UMD games.
Yup, there is. You can do that if you have custom firmware.
There's also SVCplayer. I think that takes pictures, as well as GIFs.
What's the name of that plugin?Devhook is a thing of the past my friend, I don't think you need it to run anything ever since custom firmwares were developed.
I think SVCplayer requires devhook or something, I've not used it.
Ok, my mum is going to Australia this saturday ( the 8th), I want her to get me a PSP, im wondering if the slim&lite PSP is already available in Aus, + I need to know if there is a chance of being able to use emulators and stuff on it. (with each PSP game costing $150+ here, i'm pretty much getting it only for the emu)As of right now, the PSP Slim cannot be downgraded or use emulators. You might have to wait a few months before they crack it, because it will happen eventually.
So give me advice guys, should I get the new one (if available) or the old normal one that can be downgraded.
Devhook is a thing of the past my friend, I don't think you need it to run anything ever since custom firmwares were developed.
Ever try to transfer memory card files to your PC so you can swap disks, save, and return the file without Devhook?Yeah.. and there was nothing to it.. just plug in a USB cable and copy&paste as desired. Why would you need devhook for that? (Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation you're outlining here).
Hackers get to work on PSP Slim' date=' confirm 66MB NAND - double original PSP![/b']
Following he release of the PSP Slim & Lite in Europe, hackers have already to got to working on the system. And believe us when we say, things aren't as bad as one might have imagined! Mathieulh has confirmed that the new PSP has twice the amount of NAND space than the original PSP coming in at 66MB including spare data (this feature was un-documented). The increase in NAND was speculated, but now Mathieulh has confirmed it.
Sony's putting up a wall against the hackers. It'll be interesting to see how long it will take for them to break the encryption.1-2 weeks. :rite:
http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=20621Like I said, 1-2 weeks.
Seems like the PSP Slim has been cracked. M33 released a custom firmware. :)
.
Now I might actually get on of these things. Even though I already have a PSP, having a slim would be pretty neat, a
MAC Address: 00:13:B3:87:C0:FF <-- This is not actually my real MAC address. Muahahaha
System Software: 3.40 <-- This is your firmware
Nickname: Mateui
Requirements:
- Lumines (EU or US version only currently)
- 3.50 Downgrader (http://dl.qj.net/Hacks-Exploits/pg/12/fid/13978/catid/114)
- 1.50 Update (http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-1.50-File-(EBOOT)-North-America-PSP/pg/12/fid/163/catid/163)
- 3.50 Update (http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.50-(North-America)-PSP/pg/12/fid/13840/catid/163) (if you are currently on firmware 3.10-3.40)
Instructions
Here are the steps to downgrade any 3.50 PSP to 1.50:
Part 1 (Setting up the files needed)
1) If you have a 3.50 PSP skip to step 6
2) Download 3.50 update from here:
3.50 Update (http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.50-(North-America)-PSP/pg/12/fid/13840/catid/163)
3) Unzip and place the file in <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE
4) On the PSP, run the 3.50 update from the memory stick under the Game menu.
5) Delete <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE
6) Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.50 downgrader ZIP to
the memory stick
7) Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT
OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP!
Part 2 (Enabling HEN)
8) Load Lumines and press X to start the game
9) The screen will clear to black and fill with a light blue colour, then
the PSP will reset itself
10) Check that HEN is running by going to system settings, then to
"System Information" and it should show up as system version
350 HEN
Part 3 (Downgrading)
11) If it is showing up as HEN then go to the memory stick and
run the x.yz update
12) If you have an unpatched TA-082 or higher motherboard, you will be
prompted to allow the downgrader to patch your motherboard so it
can be safely downgraded. The downgrader will not let you proceed
without patching, if your motherboard requires it.
13) Before the downgrader does anything to your PSP it will ask
for you to agree to what it is doing, if you no longer want to
continue press the Right Shoulder Button (R-TRIGGER).
14) Once you have agreed to start the downgrade do not unplug the
PSP, or try and restart it
15) Once finished the PSP will ask you to press X, and reset itself
16) If it comes up saying that the settings are corrupt, press x
to continue, this will mean you will need to re-enter the
settings for network connections into your PSP, otherwise go to
step 18
17) Load the included NetConfigBackup application in your PSP, and select to
restore, this will take the backup that was done of the network config
that was done automatically during the downgrade.
18) All done now :-) Hopefully you now have a 1.50 PSP. Enjoy it responsibly.
Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.40 OE-A. Please note that you must be running 1.50, or any of the OE series firmware to begin this installation.
First grab the 3.40 OE-A files.
1. Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE.
2. Now download the 1.50 and 3.40 updates which you can grab below:
1.50 Update (http://72.29.74.204/~exophase/external/150.PBP)
3.40 Update (http://files.exophase.com/psp/340.PBP)
3. Place these 2 updates in the oeupdmaker folder and ensure they are named exactly like this 150.PBP and 340.PBP. Now navigate to the game menu on your PSP and execute the update maker. It will take a few minutes to create the file, once finished a DATA.DXAR will be found in the oeupdmaker folder.
Please note: If you get an error message that says "Invalid SHA-1" when creating the DXAR do not proceed further. This means you have a faulty memory stick and a corrupt DATA.DXAR was created. Start over using a different memory stick.
4. Copy 340oeflasher and 340oeflasher% to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE.
5. Copy the DATA.DXAR created in step 3 from the oeupdmaker folder to the 340oeflasher folder.
6. Navigate to the game menu on your PSP, run the 3.40 OE-A flasher and follow the on screen instructions. Once done your PSP will now be running 3.40 OE-A. Verify by checking your system firmware. It should say 3.40 OE-A
since I dont have a fat psp or pandora's battery or even lumines, nothing can be done to the slim as of yet :(
3.71 released and yet the same problem with the PSP Slim/lite. you need a fat psp + pandoras battery + magic memory stick. and I hear this is the last version DA releases :fogetcry: so if you only have a psp lite, and no friends that have hacked their old psp, you are basically screwed for that. Ah well, I guess i'll just buy my games. but I really wanted to play super nintendo on there :fogetsad:Can't you just get Lumines?
Hey, just a quick query regarding PSP piracy, I have an ISO that came in .001, .002, .003 etc all the way up to like 15 or 20 or something. How would I join them together? If you can't post it in the topic, could someone PM me?If they are archives you can open up .001 with WinRAR, and extract it. WinRAR should automatically detect the other numbers and combine everything to make one ISO file.

I dont even think Lumines is sold here.
GW is too full of itself to embrace quality Jshit when it happens, so no... I don't imagine someone making a topic about it.i just dont think there are enough fans of the genre here tbh
Don't forget Jeanne D'Arc. It's the best SRPG I've ever played. Move over FFT, Jeanne D'Arc rules. (I'm surprised no one started a topic about it here before when it was released. It was one of the most anticipated PSP games, and it truly delivers what it promised.)
Published Wednesday 3rd March 2004 11:05 GMT
Sony has confirmed - but the emphasis will be on new titles, not on ports of existing games.
In order to use this system, developers will have to write compatible games for both the PS2 and PSP
etc
Let me rephrase this.You'll need to create a Pandora battery, but you do that after you go to a custom firmware on your Fat PSP.
If I go out tommorow and buy a slim PSP, will I be able to mod it to emulate PSX / SNES / Whatever else there is, providing I have lumines and my brothers larger psp?
You'll need to create a Pandora battery, but you do that after you go to a custom firmware on your Fat PSP.
So yes, you will be able to.
What's the firmware on your brothers PSP?
Im not sure.You can check what firmware you have if you go under system settings.
I have no interest in screwing around with batteries, so I suppose it'd be easier to get a regular old PSP and just mod that.
You can check what firmware you have if you go under system settings.
And you don't really mess around with the battery. All you have to do is buy an extra battery, download the software for Pandora, and it does it for you.
You should just stick with the fat PSP though, since all homebrew works on it.
Oh my god CASTLEVANIA DRACULA X CHRONICLES IS OUT!!!
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is an entirely new take at the best Castlevania game to never be released in the US, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The Dracula X Chronicles brings the beloved action/adventure franchise to the PSP system for the first time, complete with 3D graphics, enhanced gameplay and new music. Completing the Dracula X storyline, this game also includes an unlockable version of Symphony of the Night and players will also be able to unlock the original Rondo of Blood from the NEC PC Engine.That is just awesome.
What firmwares do you use atm? I have 3.52 M33-2, and Castlevania doesn't work for me (after launch just black screen). I think it's because Castlevania requires higher FW than 3.52, but I've heard that 3.71 (the newest) has problems on fat PSP. Does it work on perhaps 3.52 M33-4 or 3.60?Yeah, I'm on 3.52 M33-4 and I have to do this with a lot of games.
EDIT. Got it working, just had to change the ISO mode from m33 driver to sony np9660 driver.
SoTN is definately the best Castlevania I've ever played. It's not difficult at all, especially at the beginning. The whole game is fairly easy since you can level up, buy items, etc.
Once you beat the game though, you can play through it as Richter, which like playing Dracula X Chronicles all over again.
So yeah, I would definately try out SoTN. I don't even like Castlevania either, but that one is one of those must have games, no matter what you're in to.
Can anyone point me to a good PS1 emulator for the PSP? Something that plays stuff nicely, I cant seem to find any.You don't need an emulator to run PS1 games on your PSP. The only thing you need is the eboot of the ps1 game, and it loads automatically. And yes, they all run at perfect speeds. Some games have some trouble running, but most of the popular ones run fine. And if you know where to get PSP games, then you should know where to get the PS1 games.
By the way, what the hell happened to Symphony of the Night? The game has all new voice acting now and it is pretty bad.
Damnit I miss the old Alucard voice.
You don't even like the new script? I think it makes a lot more sense now. Also, I don't mind the new voices at all, most of them are done really well; the acting is better than the original at least. Also, have fun getting those holy glasses...I agree that the voice acting is better than it was in the original. I've memorized the old script since I played the game so much, so I guess this is why I'm a little annoyed.
speaking of all this
i really do not understand the concept of ps1 eboots. sotn, for example. it's a ~500mb game when i've seen it on mininova, and other sites that you can get it from. like, that's the size of the iso. and yet, the 100% functioning copy on my psp is... 30mb. is this just mad amounts of compression, or what? it seems like every ps1 game i've gotten an eboot for is way, way smaller than its respective iso, according to what i've seen on other sites (and sometimes, in the game of pspiso specifically, what i've seen on the same site in different threads from different people). are the typical isos available for download that full of superfluous information that you can take a single file that's a fraction of the full image size and still play the entire game flawlessly?

How in hell is it 30mb for you? I compressed it and got it down to like 350-400 megs iirc.
Man, anyone know why Daxter doesn't work on 3.71M33-2? It's like, it turns on, then blank, then PSP turns off. Please answer!!!Could be a bad ISO file. Did you try downloading it from somewhere else?

I was trying to play FF9. It comes up to the "Presented by Calypso! Enjoy!" screen, then after that, blank.What region disc is it? The european FF9 contains copy protection which might cause a problem.
What region disc is it? The european FF9 contains copy protection which might cause a problem.It may have been that, when I ripped my Euro FFIX it had problems so I just downloaded an NTSC one instead, though I think there was a fix tot he copy protection.
Apparently, the emulator was never meant to work with PAL games, so all games need to be NTSC. There's supposedly some kind of conversation that goes on when you use certain programs to turn your PSX games into PSP-workable ones.A lot of my PAL games work, it's basically just FFIX that hasn't worked.
You just basically asked if there's a Windows emulator for the PSP. Answer: no.
Yes there is you phony! I actually installed Windows 95 on my psp once....No, that's not actually Windows 95. Think of it sort of like a Flash game....but it's not.
Yes there is you phony! I actually installed Windows 95 on my psp once....PSP's hardware is way too limited to emulate Windows even semi-decently.
PSP's hardware is way too limited to emulate Windows even semi-decently.
Actually it can run Windows 95 decently after it does the 10 minute boot-up.Well, it might be able to run Windows 95 somehow, since it's so old and doesn't require as much resources as modern Windows systems (which I was refering to). Windows 95 isn't even supported by a lot of software developers nowadays.

That's actually really interesting
How well does it actually run it? We hear a lot about console emulation in general and how they're able to run commercial games. But a a lot of them run at a very very slow frame rate.
Can I assume the same with this as well? How well does it run Windows 95? I guess we can sort of gauge how well the psp can handle RPG Maker 2000 from this news.
I don't know I haven't tried and don't have a PSP but I know it is possible so like...why don't one of you dudes who have one try it. :dHow do you know it runs decently then? It sounds really weird that it'd take 10 mins to boot (which itself indicates that PSP isn't really good hardware to emulate it) but would run decently after it.
We hear a lot about console emulation in general and how they're able to run commercial games. But a a lot of them run at a very very slow frame rate.Emulation on the PSP is actually VERY good. SNES, Genesis, Playstation, and even games like Marvel Vs. Capcom are able to run at perfect frame rates. The only problems are the games that use those special graphics for the SNES(Super Mario RPG, Kirby Superstar, etc.)

psp is more than enough hardware to emulate it, the emulator to boot W95 is at fault for the long boot time prettymuch.PSP has nowhere near the hardware requirements to emulate a Windows 95 PC decently. The emulator isn't at fault for the boot times, the PSP's processor is. It won't run well after bootup either. It's purely a proof of concept, a "look what we can do", and will never be more.
I know it takes a long time cause thats what the site says, but i have read of other people putting it on there too so.
none of those guys have rpg maker, but in theory it "should" work, but idk.
Emulation on the PSP is actually VERY good. SNES, Genesis, Playstation, and even games like Marvel Vs. Capcom are able to run at perfect frame rates. The only problems are the games that use those special graphics for the SNES(Super Mario RPG, Kirby Superstar, etc.)Emulation of older consoles is possible on the PSP because they do not require a large amount of power to do (as opposed to emulating a full x86 PC, which requires quite a lot of power).
There is even a Nintendo DS emulator....but it's complete shit and only runs like 10% of the games.
I'm positive an emulation of RPG Maker is possible....but I don't think Windows 95 is the solution. Some insane coder might come around to it someday' date=' though[/quote']
There's no other way to emulate RPG Maker without also emulating a Windows 95 machine. Even if you, say, compiled ReactOS for the R4000, you'd still need to emulate an x86 machine on that to run RM.
It's just not feasible.
Emulation of PSX is only possible because the PSP's processor is a MIPS32 R4000. The PSX processor was a MIPS32 R3000A-compatible. As far as I'm aware, the R4000 remains instruction compatible with the R3000. This means that emulation of the processor is not required.
Ahh! Since its not trying to emulate the game engine, it doesnt use extra power and that is why PS1 games run flawlessly on the PSP.... Nice. Also, some SNES games Ive tried do play slowly, like LoZelda and Ninja warriors.
The only game that seems to run flawlessly for snes is Super Mario World... 0 _ 0This has got to be a joke.
microsoft word document: Well, I wouldn't recommend a PSP Slim, since it not going to be hackable unless you have a Pandora battery, which must be made using the fat PSP. Plus, the kernels for the slim aren't fully made yet, so half of the homebrew isn't even going to work on it. As for setting the whole thing up, first you're going to need a PSP that has a firmware lower than 3.50(around there). You can then purchase Lumines(hoping they haven't patched it yet) and downgrade using the illuminati exploit. Google that if you don't know what it is. The other option is just purchasing a Pandora battery on ebay or something, which will automatically downgrade to 1.50 for you, but I'm not sure you want to go that route.Are there no exploits that do not require me to buy even more stuff?
Once you're in 1.50, you can pretty much upgrade to any firmware you want. I would recommend 3.52 M33-4. It's just as stable as the 3.40, and you get a lot more features.
Are there no exploits that do not require me to buy even more stuff?The only way that I know of would be to just purchase a PSP with 1.50 already on it. You won't have to buy anything extra if you do it that way.
This has got to be a joke.
Either you have the old SNEStyl, or you downloaded only 3 games. First off, download snestyl ME edition, which boosts your FPS a lot. I can run Super Mario Kart, and even Star Ocean at almost perfect speeds.
Almost perfect is not good enough,No matter how you put it,the games lagg and thats that,and I have tried tons of games even the ones you mentioned and they lagg even with all the plugins and FPS limit and all the bullshit.I stated that those are the only games with a little lag.
Super Metroid owns on the PSP, btw.It does? What am I waiting for. Super Mario World is always good too.
Ok I can't get the Snes emulator to work (the latest one) my current firmware is M33 3.71-3, I've tried changing the kernel settings and switching the folders between game and game150 but it still won't work, I get a "game could not be started error"That's what happened to mine, and it's still like that. I'm going to format my memory stick and see if that's the problem. That might fix yours as well.
Anyone played Saga Frontier 2 Eboot, just asking because I don't want to download it then have problems with it, oh and how is the game, I'm really interested in the game due to its visuals and actually doesn't look like a bad game, Ive read some reviews about it but really want to try it out for myself.
Damn right Warhammer 40K Squad Command for the win!!
by the wayI posted a topic about it ages ago on GW but almost everyone ignored it. For shame! Crush is an awesome puzzler.
has anyone played crush? it is probably the coolest game i've played on the psp in a long time (maybe ever!); it's got a really interesting and well-executed premise. i hear paper mario did something like it, but i never played it, so i'm assuming it was to a lesser extent, as this game more or less revolves about the idea of shifting between 3d/2d, whereas paper mario always seemed like it didn't.
the only problem i have with it thus far is how disjointed the gameplay and the narrative feels. instead of seeming like one cohesive experience, it's just like *story about dude's life* and then HERE GO NAVIGATE A LEVEL AND COLLECT MARBLES and then more story but the two events really aren't especially related. in spite of that fact, though, it's a very very cool game imo.
Aten: Do you have a PSP Slim?
What are you guys talking about? SNES is almost flawless on my PSP.
Really? Why don't you like, zip up your entire emulator directory, and post it here so we can download it :woop: Im using the latest version of SNESytl and its got all the "speedhack" jaz and all, but it lags like a bitch. Only Pacman in Time runs flawlessly :fogetnah:Have the ME edition? Did you set your framerate skip to Auto? Change the PSP game setting to accurate?
Hmm, I have Crush on my memory stick, and it freezes when it's about to start the game, at the part with the stopwatch type thing. It's just my download, I assume?Hmm, it must be since Crush worked perfectly for me. I have a .CSO of Crush, 319,359 KB.
I also have a question, I have V3.80 M-33 Firmware at the moment but it isn't too important for what I need.This happened to me but with Chrono Cross, all I did was change the ID of the game to one that works and got passed the freezing point, but with that the quality of the game went down a bit, nothing big though and I barely noticed it after awhile, it was the music that stuffed up sometimes. Also try using pops loader, y'know playing it on different firmwares, that worked for Destruction Derby 2 which only seems to work on 3.11 firmware.
Of my favourite PSX games, the one I want to play most is Brave Fencer Musashi, which as it turns out seems to be the only one that I struggle to get anywhere past the starting cutscene before the game freezes up.
Can anyone tell me how to get this working, if they have?
Like anything else... try downloading the original iso and making your own psp version... leaving the compression setting to the lowest (larger file size). This always fixes freezes with me.

Those things are like $60...!
Well, its either that, or do it with a fat psp :\
I could have told you how to hack the battery you have already (thats what I did), but sony already put out new batteries, that can't be hacked, and I'm guessing you have one of those so...... (unless you bought it post december)
Anyone played Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max on the PSP, if so, how the HELL do you perform the moves properly!?
Anyone played Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max on the PSP, if so, how the HELL do you perform the moves properly!?You can't. Really though, unless you stick a PS2 analog nub on there you won't be able to. I can't even play with the analog stick, so I stick with the directional pad.
I think I'll stray away from the modification, and the analog stick is annoying as hell, but I'm getting their, I can do Ryu's uppercut haha.
It's been a while since I needed to upgrade my psp. Since 3.30 OE-A I've been satisifed with Valkyrie Profile, Crush, MH:F2, Jeanne D'Arc, PoP, Brave Story, MGS:PO and Alundra. There's been a whole lot of time invested in these titles, and I play time on and off.I don't know where you heard that but I just upgraded from 3.40 oe to 3.52 m33 to 3.52 m33-4 to 3.71m33 and I can load my past saves and everything works...Patapon is such a great game however I am so shit at it...
However, with Patapon and GoW coming on the horizon, the time has come to take the next step. I trie dlooking around for the answers myself, but I found some really disturbing notes on the upgrades, that all saves from 3.4+ would cease functioning on 3.553 and eventually 3.71m. If this is the case, I'm not certain if I want to play patapon any longer.. does anyone know if that was just a specific firmware I was browsing, or if there's any easy way (with savefile compability) to take the leap from 3.3 to postmodern firmware?
the full game is out and you didn't know?
PS2 ones were awesome man, what are you talking about? Sure PSP ones is good, but it's no contest compared to PS2.
Well people pirate things because of many reasons,
L+R is WAY better than right analog stick.
what do you guys think of how the homebrew scene is effecting the PSP in terms of games and what not, I plan to buy God of War and Crisis Core so I can actually own the games instead of having them on my hard drive, supporting the cause!
I checked it out and it's actually $195. Thats $97 USD for you American folk.
God Of War Chains of Olympus is gonna be about $70 when it comes out in NZ, and our prices for games are usually much higher then country's like the US or something, seriously Playstation 3 games are about 130 to 150, I doubt they are selling it for that much, if New Zealand and Australia are selling them for a fair price.
Yeah but isn't NZ's currency pretty undervalued? I seem to recall 150 of New Zealand's currency being like 70 US dollars.Nah yeah NZ currency is fucked up, were paying like an extra 100 or 2 for a Playstation 3 or 360 compared to US and shit man.
Attention folks, I just checked my Disgaea save game and it's not there I think upgrading from 3.40 to 3.51 to 3.71 has done something to my savegame and now there is nothing to load and I have to start a new one.
BLOODY GAY ASS MOTHERFUCKING FUCKER
What exactly do you mean chainer? where can I move my savegame files?
The game's out already? I thought it came out next week.
torrent it and buy it when you can? that's the way of the samurai
I would dl it just to try it out but since I don't have a phat anymore I can't downgrade my slim.
You could rent it. Blockbuster and most other rental shops carry a pretty reasonable library of PSP games. Weirdly though I never see DS games for rent anywhere.
It's called being a rotten piece of shit and stealing things.
EDIT: Man I really want to torrent this but my code of ethics is struggling to convince me otherwise guys I need help
Wait.... so you actually bought all those versions of RPGmaker?
Has anyone tried out Wild Arms XF?
good thing you paid for it! seriously, do you really feel good about buying a game only to try it and realize it's boring and terrible?
if you feel so strongly about this, how is it you can't trust yourself to download it, and delete it/buy it if you like it
Anyway Wild Arms XF isn't very good so you shouldn't play it.I think I'll just download the soundtrack. The Wild Arms series has very very good music(IMO).
Ok, so I finished Crisis Core, and I gotta say. MOST DEPRESSING ENDING EVER. I won't lie, I teared up. And the thing that got me the most was that the last thing on Zacks mind was Aeris. Right up to the bitter end....
Final Fantasy 7 PSP has sucky mechanics

Great job Square, excellent game, and definitely pushed GoW from my number 1 spot. (Something which I could never imagine happening)
Have the slowdown issues with emulating Persona 2 ever been sorted out? I've been considering buying a PSP just to replay Persona 2 (as I've never had the patience to unlock the EX dungeon) on the go.From what I've read, no. That's an issue Sony is going to have to tackle, since it has nothing to do with custom firmware. Eventually it will get fixed, but it could be awhile.
aparently there are tutorials online to actually hack your battery.
I never tried it though, and it scares me.
Okay so I am seriously considering putting the custom firmware in my PSP, but I'm super nervous about fucking up so I would like some help from someone (perferably panda or omeg because they are not INTERNET STRANGERS which is why i am not google searching) to walk me through it.
My firmware is 3.73 right now and someone said I would need a pandora battery to downgrade it. Is there any other way? 'cause none of my friends play video games and thus don't own pandora batteries, so I have no access to one.
echochrome
Man, does anyone know how you keep your fucking wallpaper?
Like, whenever I change it, and turn the PSP into sleepmode or play a game, when I turn it on again, the background becomes pure black. Then you have to set up the wallpaper AGAIN.
Is there a way to make it permnant?
echochrome is sweet indeed. I downloaded it off the PSN a few days ago. I really enjoy the concept and gameplay immensely. Another fun ass game, that is still stuck in my head is Pattapon. :( I can't stop the marching beat, and it's been weeks since I played.
as far as i remember, chrono trigger's menu crashes, earthbound's battles crash, and DK l-l-l-l-l-a-a-a-a-a-a-g-g-g-g-g-g-ss-s-s-s-s-s like a motherfucker.I stated this a few pages back, but Chrono Trigger and Earthbound run perfectly. You guys must be using some old builds or something.
or did they fix those? :L
I stated this a few pages back, but Chrono Trigger and Earthbound run perfectly. You guys must be using some old builds or something.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LPDG1HAV
There's the latest build. The reason you guys might be getting slow downs is because you didnt set the frame skip. If it's at 0, you need to set it to auto. Also set the engine to PSP accel. + accur. soft.
The only games that run slow for me are Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and Kirby Superstar. Even Killer Instinct runs fine.
Did you read what I said? I said set it to auto, meaning the emulator will speed up IF it needs to. Have you even tried Chrono Trigger with that new build and the settings I told you?
I think you should. Don't make me have to post a screenshot to prove you wrong.
Really, how would Dark AleX respond? Sony Computer Entertainment has just released a survey asking the PlayStation Portable community why they hack their handhelds. Click on the image above for a higher resolution of the Sony survey.
Sony has not released details about the research, only saying that it is one of the company's efforts to understand its consumers. But with the boom of the PSP homebrew scene spurred by NEM and the Saturn Expedition Committee, the Spanish Swaploit team, Killer-X, Fanjita, Noobz, and sustained by Dark AleX among many other devs, it seems Sony is trying its best to keep up.
Releasing firmware after firmware (with the latest being PSP Firmware 3.95) may be taking its toll on Sony engineers. Since Sony is protecting the PlayStation Portable from a faceless homebrew community, the very least they can do is know their reasons why they hack the PSP in the first place.
Who knows, this might just lead into a dialogue between Sony and the homebrew community. Now, if you're into the homebrew scene, how will you answer the survey?
Guys I need some help!!
I recently downloaded Wild Arms Xf or Crosfire or w/e you call it ...anyways it didnt state if it was a rip or not but after the prologe scene I got this random "EA GAMES" logo then it went on to Chapter 1..I know this happens when someone rips a mov from a game...anyways..my question is:
How many FMV are there in Wild Arms XF? If its just the Intro movie then its okay..but if im going to be missing important scenes..then I guess ill have to dll the 1.4 gb version...
Welcome to the Past my friend.. Who is banned and will never see this. Anyways, you guys know where I could get an Eboot of Destrega, I can't find it(With torrenting) and seriously want to check this game out again.
RPG MAKER 2000/2003 ON PSP
No, it's not fake either.
http://www7.atwiki.jp/rpg2kpsp/
Apparently this has been in the works for quite some time now. I've downloaded a copy of the SDK, but I really have no idea how to compile that stuff, especially since it's in Japanese.
But uh, cool I guess. I am pretty sure people who make RM games and also have a PSP will go crazy.
How do you get that shit? Wheres the actual program?You have to compile the SDK yourself using Microsoft Visual C++ Edition. The problem is I don't know how to do that because I'm illiterate when in comes to this kind of stuff and it's in Japanese. I did use the translator for the website, but that doesn't help the process.
Wow, now THAT's a breakthrough. And so many people said that it would be impossible. Leave it to those crazyWell, the PSP's specs are well beyond the minimums for RPG Maker, i'm not that surprised it was donejapshackers/developers.
Well, the PSP's specs are well beyond the minimums for RPG Maker, i'm not that surprised it was doneYeah, well I never questioned that, but a lot of people where saying that you needed to get windows to run on the psp in order to be able to run a program such as Rm2k/3 - so I never expected the RM series to be ported over to the PSP.
Well, the PSP's specs are well beyond the minimums for RPG Maker, i'm not that surprised it was donethats not really how it works so this is still a pretty big deal. any modern gaming pc is well beyond the technical specs of a ps1 or ps2, and yet ps1 emulation is just pretty iffy a lot of the time, and if ps2 emulation even exists, it's probably pretty subpar. it's not just about being beyond the minimum requirements of what you're emulating. as mateui said there was the idea that you'd need to RUN WINDOWS to get this to work which a psp most certainly couldn't do at any respectable speed, if at all.

i dunno man, this may just be VNCing to a computer running rpgmaker.No man, definitely not. You can clearly see the software/emulator being run there based on the menus he's going through.
14. LMU2BMP - sue445 ( --- )
This tool saves the content of a RPG Maker map as BMP file. Simply copy the tool in your project folder and run it. Then enter the ID of the map you want to save as BMP and hit enter. Then it will be saved as "Map####.bmp".

filerpg2kdevSDK_20080212.zip
Umm, ok so I compiled it and got rpg2kdev.exe, but all it does is generate a BMP from a map. I googled for "rpg2kdev.exe" and I know I didn't misuse it because I found a post even in this forum:
http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=69046.msg1252601#msg1252601
Basically what we got here is a program called LMU2BMP... Since the page is japanese, maybe I just downloaded the wrong thing?
Looking at the download page you linked, this is what I downloaded:
Currently in development, but is still below what you can.
* マップデータの入力 Map data input
* BMP,PNG,XYZの入出力。 BMP, PNG, XYZ input and output.
Neophyte, are you ABSOLUTELY SURE this is the right page? Because I don't think so, it seems that rami compiled the right program, because, THIS is what is reads (translated)Yeah, I'm not sure. Though there are screenshots and several pages noting the PSP version, I doubt the link I sent was to the actual program.
rami, LMU2BMP is a software that converts your rpgmaker maps into bmp images, it makes it really easy to take screenshots of your map (especially if its huge), before we used to printscreen the editor and (then edit it in paint), now we can just use lmu2bmp to take a direct shot of the map.Umm.. That's what I said. I'm not stupid.
so yeah, thought i'd clear that out xD
Umm.. That's what I said. I'm not stupid.
:fogetgasp: I didnt say you were stupid.... sorry if you took it that way. (i thought you didnt know how lmu2bmp worked)Well I did say "all it does is generate BMP from a map", which should point out that I know what it does, since I tried it. Only after I found what it does, I googled with "rpg2kdev", and found links that confirmed that it's a LMU2BMP tool.
*guulp* rami please dont be angry :fogetcry:i almost banned him :fogetshh:

What exactly is a pandora battery?Basically it's an exploit that is used with a memory stick and a Sony PSP battery. It resets the PSP to Sony's service mode, which means it bypasses whatever firmware is on the system, and goes straight back to the original. You need a memory stick to do this, by the way.
Alright, I found a nifty guide online and am all ready to make this Pandora myself, but should I have more than one battery?Like, if I make a pandora out of my only battery, will it no longer work as a battery and my psp won't work anyways or will it still work as a normal battery?
What's this magic memory stick nonsense? Is it just the memory stick you make with the battery, or do you need to make it separately or what?
And you can't make the battery unless you already have custom firmware. So you'll need to buy one.
Hey any of you guys know if it's possible to watch a video off your PSP on the Xbox 360?
See I know you can connect the PSP up to the 360 an listen to music off it but are you saying I cant watch a movie that's on my memory stick on the 360 when connected?Tau....
it requires you to pop open the battery and hardwire it yourself (which I tried once and ended up shorting the thing out).
I'm surprised you busted it because I did the same thing and it was relatively simple and by far the best thing i could have done EVER. Even if i brick my psp, all i have to do is put in that battery, the mem stick and bam!, back to 3.71m33-2 :woop:
So the PSP I had before broke in the process of installing a new backlight and I had to go out and buy a new one, which is 3.52. I understand there are no downgraders for 3.52 and I need a pandora battery to allow for homebrew. Bad news is, nobody I know has a PSP with custom firmware.
So, after searching on google for 30 minutes and finding nothing really all too helpful I'd like it if you (or anyone else) could link to the guides you used to hardwire the battery/use cmd console to make one, Marcus.
EDIT: is this what I want? http://pspupdates.qj.net/Tutorial-How-to-unbrick-your-PSP-via-Pandora-Battery/pg/49/aid/100693
So my psp has been bricked for 2 weeks.
What do I do?
I have the fat version with 3.09 or something firmware. I can't find my spare battery.
Help?
Wow the colour and brightness on that screen does look amazing. Built in microphone? I don't know about you guys but I don't have Wifi so I can't really play games and use the microphone online anyway, but wow another PSP... You'd think maybe they would put all the new features and crap into one portable console but instead they separately release them in three portable consoles.
Maybe they aren't psychics and had to spend additional years in R&D to get to this point?I never said Nintendo were an exception, but then again this is how they make their money by making new consoles with nothing really that amazing built in except from that colourful screen.
And why wait until now to point this out? Nintendo has been doing it since day 1? Remember Gameboy Pocket? Or... you know.... Gameboy color? Why didn't they just release a backlit gameboy color in 1989? hmmmmmmmm?
One, no, the firmware isn't stored in the memstick (what gave you that idea???)
two, depends on the game. If it says AD-HOC mode, it means you need another psp to multiplay, where as NETWORK PLAY means over the internet.
One, no, the firmware isn't stored in the memstick (what gave you that idea???)Oh thank god I also thought this but then again I know that different firmwares give you different GAME folders on your memory stick...example: GAME150 and what not.
two, depends on the game. If it says AD-HOC mode, it means you need another psp to multiplay, where as NETWORK PLAY means over the internet.
wait. what the hell is the magic memory stick for?
what the damn! Why didn't my pandora downgrade me?
I don't know what he meant by that but yes the firmware is stored on the memory stick. The magic memory stick acts as a boot for the battery and the battery tricks the PSP into thinking it's at factory default (i.e. 1.00). If you set the magic memory stick correctly you will be able to upgrade from a "tricked 1.00" to 1.5.Firmware is definitely not stored on a memory stick. It's just upgraded (or downgraded) from one. When the firmware is installed, it's physically on your PSP, not the memory stick. You just need the magic memory stick to install custom firmware on your PSP, after that you can just use a normal memory stick (and any number of them).
so anyone know what is the best firmware version that will let me play all of the games no problem with netplay capability. I'm really eager to try out Tom Clancy online.
Anyone thinking of upgrading to 4.01M33-2, DON'T. I'm telling from experience, it's a really SHITTY firmware, all your emulators will stop working, Cwcheat will almost always crash, and games will randomly hang while playing.
I'd say stick with 3.71M33-2, but hey, if you really need Skype on your PSP then, well, whatever.
EDIT: Fuck my analog stick is fucked up, when in game it always moves the character down it looks like it needs to be pushed back into place but I've tried that and I don't know what to do now... :cry:
I finally have 3.71M-33 on my PSP and I am loving this. Only problem is Kirby Super Star is REALLY REALLY slow but whatever. Anyways, I can't seem to find any playstation 1 emulators, unless the PSP can run them without emulators? I should test it out...
Oh crap yes. Thanks Gutts!
Now I'm going to play every single game ever made one by one and then try to figure out why this is so cool.
Edit: Okay, so my Earthbound game is messing up. It freezes up every couple of minutes so I can't even get past Porky's house!! Is it just my ROM or is it my emulator? I'm using Earthbound (U) as a rom, i forget where I got it, and my emulator is snex8xtyl 0.4.2 for 3.XX firmware. Is there a better emulator to use or is it just my roms? I haven't had any trouble with Super Mario All-Stars, Super Bomberman, or Lufia & The Fortress of Doom, but Kirby Super Star runs very slow and I think Chrono Trigger freezes up on menus, but I'll test it.
I haven't touched my PSP in ages but I just turned it on and looked at the firmware. I'm still at 3.40 OE-A. I must be ages behind. Someone tell me what I should upgrade to - I'm just too behind on the PSP scene too catch up on my own.I use 3.90 or 3.92 or something, and I haven't had any problems with it. I was using 3.71 for a while and I feel like there was SOMETHING I needed to upgrade to 3.90 to play, though. Like, that's the only reason I ever update. So yeah, I'm not sure 3.71 plays everything, otherwise I wouldn't have upgraded to 3.90.

i just got a psp and i've got a q: i tried emulating FFVI advance on gpSP and visualboy or whatever. on visualboy it just lagged REALLY BAD and on gpSP it froze when the first battle starts in Narshe. anyone know any workarounds for this?
Is there anyway to transfer save games from the GBA Emulator gpSP on my PSP, to my computer so that VBALINK can import them or something so I can carry on my save games? I only want to do this so I can play online usig Hamachi and I hate to start all over again.
All I did was copy the .sav files and put them in the appropriate folder. I tried this when I loaded the emu for the first time when I wanted to replay Mother 3.Yeh I tried that but it seems VBALINK only accepts .sg files, when it comes to save games.
Also, my gpsp works fine. The worst thing that could possibly happen is a slight desync between the screen and sound (which was rare).... which fucks up timing combo attacks in Mother 3 and not much else.
Yeh I tried that but it seems VBALINK only accepts .sg files, when it comes to save games.
well, i would but 1) snes emulation seems to be pretty slow! and 2) FF6: advance has a new translation and new espers and dungeons and shit so i thought i'd try it out.
So games can be played like they were on the original console now or.. Is it still like "Can't play with sound, frameskip 2 on" etc.Yeh most of them are like that I'm afraid, but hey at least the development of a N64 emulator on the PSP is happening!
I thought the SNES EMU on the PSP was fully functional. Shit last time I tried it it was perfectly fine?
What the hell you talking about? The emulator for the SNES is working great! There are many kinds of emulators for the SNES which one are you talking about that is not working properly?
EDIT: I use Snes 9X and it works the best, I didn't have to config the settings for it to run the games smoothly! It ran 99% of the games smoothly.
Read the title of the godam thread!!!
EDIT:I guess I should elaborate more instead of using generic rage...
There are plenty of emulators for psp.. like snesx9.. or how about good ol snes9x.. uh uh how about snes9fuckingx
And guess what? It sucks...ass! Here is a compability list: http://forums.maxconsole.net/archive/index.php/t-51917.html
Good fucking day sir.
Seeing as there is a post for the compatibility for many emulators that are out of date on here, but not one for the SNES emulator which is no longer being updated, I thought I would work on one myself :D
Below is the list so far, whenever you post I will add it to the main post, or you can directly PM me to save me some time :p

Working with problems
Big Sky Trooper - save names are strange, controls seem awkward :confused:
Kirby Superstar - extreamly slow "too slow to even play"
Mario Kart - Doesn't work well witout large frameskip, the frameskip makes it choppy
MegaMan X - seems slow, but seeing as I havn't got my SNES wired up, can't check this out.
Secret of Mana - same as above.
Not working
None so far
Like I said above, if you want to add to this just post what works, what doesn't work at all, and what works with problems, stating the problem :cool:
Hope this helps a few people

Oh, well maybe you should try things out first before judging beforehand.
Like Otomon said, good job at barging into the thread without any prior knowledge of whatever the hell we were talking about.
Either way, with pc emus, ZSnes is better than snes9x.
:fogetshrug:
idk wherever I looked all I kept hearing about were speed related issues on a buuunch of games
To be honest, i never had many problems with the psp snes emus, sometimes they can be abit slow but if you can't be bothered to fiddle with the settings then maybe emulation is not for you?Exactly! I mean you have had the time to hack your PSP for the use of homebrew apps. So why is it when you have gone through all that trouble you can't be bothered to tweak the settings a little on the Snes emulator so that it can play the games you want?
I already said I CAN'T use it.Well you bought a PSP SLIM thats why! I'm using 5.50 GEN-A CFW and the SNES emulator is efficient. I came in this thread was to tell you that it can work on newer firmware. Oh, well it works fine for the PSP PHAT! :woop:
I'm going by everything I read ever, other than on this thread.

I got a Phat PSP thats hacked and I wanna update to 5.50 GEN-B so that I can play Disgaea 2 and Persona PSP and also Soul Calibur.Is there any downside to upgrading from 5.00m33 - 6 to 5.55 GEN-B e.g does 1.50 kernal work?
Bumping this topic because I want to get back into my PSP but my custom firmware is horribly outdated right now. What's the latest stable custom firmware out there?5.50 GEN-D3 is the latest out there. But it lacks the 1.5 kernel, which some old homebrew needs, so if you're heavily into homebrew you might want the lastest M33 firmware instead.
Im not sure about the latest cfw but right now im keeping my fingers crossed for a cfw that can work on a psp3000 with 6.20 ofw on it. My idiot brother updated it right when he got it and now all I can do is get the homebrew exploit which really only lets me play snes, and though I like snes I have it emulated on my xbox already so its nothing special. If someone knows anything about a 6.20 hack then I would greatly appreciate your post!If you've got a 3000 with 6.20, you're pretty fucked until firmware devs bring out something new. It's pretty much entirely locked out of custom firmware for the time being.
