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.

so yeah, thought i'd clear that out xD

Umm.. That's what I said. I'm not stupid.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

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.

Alright, after doing some more research (i.e. making a topic at another website) it turns out that rpg2kdev has nothing to do with the PSP and is simply a program that lets you edit rm2k using C++. The video is fake (look at his fingers when he's scrolling he doesn't even touch the d-pad). The other website is a guy working on a PSP version but all he has is map scrolling and bitmap displays working.

So yeah, we still have a while to go.

Yeah, at 16:00 is the dead giveaway. The save menu is scrolling, but the asshole isnt pressing anything.

thats 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 was thinking more along the lines of remaking the engine for the psp, not emulating it somehow

There is a semi-decent collection of information about RPG Maker's file formats, including maps, event commands, database, and the like, so it's definitely feasible for anyone with the time and patience

fuck it all, dd is dead

I bought a year old Phat PSP, a Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Card, and a pre-made Pandora's battery. the memory stick and Pandora's battery are being shipped to me.

Anyone got some useful info or tips or links for someone completely new to modding, PSP's, Modding PSP's, as well as emulation on PSP's?

I know I can emulate PSX, SNES, GB/GBC/GBA, and Genesis. Any particular emulators you recommend? Games that are fun to play for those consoles (any genre, but I really like action games).

PSX games that are fun to play on the PSP despite the probably awkward L2 and R2 binding?

EDIT: also any other cool Homebrew stuff that you know about.

The pandora's battery is basically fucking with the PSP's battery to make it hackable, blah blah same old story, you basically need it, or someone with it to make your PSP homebrew savvy

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.

headphonics, there are actually legit websites that are selling them now. DealExtreme(I hate them but at least they're a trustworthy website) actually sells them now as well.

I would offer that you mail your battery and memory stick to me and I'll happily modify it for you but mail on base seems to be slow as hell and it's taking me like 3 weeks to get a single letter.

It's not that difficult to make one and the current programs let you install 3.90m33 or the standard sony firmware on your memory card. The battery is also an instant debricker so even if you brick your PSP you can fix it as long as you're capable of turning the system on. It's a really handy hackers tool
