Far as I know, you can't. You can still use signed homebrew on it though.

The PRO-B CFW doesn't stay after I reboot. Also, if I try to update to PRO-B3 without rebooting my PSP, it doesn't ask me if I would like to overwrite, it just gives me the same screen that it gives when I installed PRO-B.

What am I doing wrong, here?


Pfft. Nevermind, I just suck at reading comprehension. What a foolish thing to do.

So I'm getting a psp-3000 sometime soon and I was wondering if you can do homebrew and connect to psn? Will the custom firmware ban your unit from psn? I have some old ps1 games that I want to convert to iso so I can play on the psp but I also want to buy some downloadable games off psn.

It won't let you connect, but you can transfer stuff with Media Go.

I followed all these instructions but no matter what I do, Remote Joy just sits at "waiting" on my computer and never displays any video. :(

Do I need a file called "Game150?" I have all the other ones and CWCheat works just fine via the game.txt thing...


EDIT: I do have 6.35 PRO-B2 instead of 3, but I don't see why that would be an issue.

When you plug in your PSP do you hear the new hardware ding? Is it connecting in USB mode?

Try re-installing the driver from the guide, it probably isn't installed properly.

Pretty sure the PSP should be identified as PSP Type-A, in Windows. Go back through the motions and make sure you properly installed the windows drivers necessary for remojoy compatibility.

Otherwise there is a more recent release of remotejoylite. I am using 0.20alpha. Make sure both your remotejoy app and plugin are compatible (if you update one or the other it can break).

Also, disable cwcheats when using remotejoy. They are not very compatible and will have a tendency to result in lock-ups. Maybe it isn't a problem on newer firmware? I can't get them to agree for poo poo on 5.00 M33-6

Signed homebrew can't run in kernel mode, so it's not getting bare metal access, and the processor isn't particularly fast if you're working with managed code. You probably shouldn't bother with the signed snes9x, especially if you don't need to run signed code but even if you do it's not gonna work well enough for SNES.

welp thats a shame

moving on to more emulator help then. I'm trying to load sega cd games in picodrive, but it refuses to actually recognize the music for them. I have named the iso and mp3s correctly, as well as converted the mp3's to 44.1kbs sample rate (I think! I dont know a lot about audio conversion.) but it spits out the same error at me every time. Is this another "doesnt work on signed homebrew" issue or am I doing something wrong?

For reference here's what the directory looks like: http://i52.tinypic.com/2hs21ro.png

e: wow now i'm really confused! No mp3s will play...except for the intro cutscene, which plays perfectly. No other mp3 songs will play.

e2: found the problem. I guess signed picodrive doesnt play mp3s right so i had to download the bin/cue and run that instead. Sound works now!

Well, I tried using the .20a version and it installed the PSP Type B Driver! When I turn RJL on it makes the sound like a USB device is plugged in... then the noise like one was removed and keeps making the removed noise over and over until I turn RJL off.

I think I'm just doomed to have this not work for me. I appreciate the help from everyone, I may try re-uninstalling again.

are you still running the remotejoy plugin with cwcheats (or any other plugin for that matter)?

Go to device manager and uninstall the driver and tick the checkbox for uninstall driver files too. Restart and hit F8 before the windows splash screen thing and do Disable signature enforcement. Boot into Windows. Start a game on the PSP with remotejoy running. Plug in the USB. Windows will probably say it can't find drivers. Go to device manager again, update drivers for PSP, and point it to the psp driver. Type-B is fine. Unplug USB from the PSP and start the Remotejoy client. Plug USB back in and it should work. If not, who knows.

I've got a PSP-1000 running 5.50 Prometheus-4 right now.
I just bought the new Tactics Ogre game on UMD and I'd like to play it, but I don't want to lose my custom firmware. The game loads the beginning, but crashes when you enter Almorica castle, the first actual battle map.

Should I really give up my permanent custom firmware and bump up to the 6.35 PRO-B3 thing? I really don't want to run this game as a patched ISO, as I've only got a small memory card and the whole point is that I'm playing it legit.

Depends on what you consider cheap. I got an 8GB one from Amazon for about 25 bucks. 16gb is about 45 bucks. I just checked and it's the same price.

Nope, I use a PSP-2000. Looking in threads on other sites, there's some reports of it not working on Gos or with certain games (Dissidia 1&2).

There's also another plugin that prevents deletion of the Go's built-in save state, which you could use as an alternative.

So, I'm getting slightly frustrated trying to setup some sort of working cheat system on my PSP Go.

Here's the rundown:

PSP Go
6.35 PRO-B3
TempAR 1.6
CWCheat multiple versions, espoused to work with 6.35 PRO-B to no avail.

Game.txt (and all my plugins are on my memory stick too, so the ms0 is right)
ms0:/seplugins/categorise_light_63X/category_light.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/TempAR/tempar.prx 1

Neither CWCheat or tempAR seem to do anything at all, let alone actually activate. I've verified in the recovery console that it should be working, and the TEMPAR database contains the cheat I'm trying to activate (for tactics ogre, but for good measure I tried this on FFT as well.)

What the gently caress am I missing? For TempAR it's Home+Home, then VOL+/VOL- at the same time right? Doesn't do poo poo.

Edit: Fixed it, apparently I needed to install to the flash memory or it wouldn't work for some retarded reason. So I had to move it to there and change to ef0:

Double edit: While I'm complaining about poo poo, what the gently caress TempAR; I can't activate you while using a gamepad so I have to manually activate it :\ the gamepad is so I can sit on the couch.

I was given a beat up old PSP-1000 with some scratches, the eject button is missing (I can use a jeweler's screwdriver to manipulate the ejector though), and the charger is completely pet-mangled (but still works somehow). Since it thankfully had 6.20 OFW on it, I was able to put on 6.20 TN-D HEN and work in 5.50 GEN-D3 /w Prometheus-4 thanks to the help in this thread

I was able to rip my copy of Xenogears and put it on the PSP without issue and it seems to play fine.

I am interested in RemoteJoyLite as there are a couple titles I would like to play on a big screen TV.

I assume I don't need to install 6.35 PRO-B/6.35 PRO-B3 since I am using a CFW already, is that correct?

Also, I know this can probably go in the general PSP thread, but how fast is a Duo Pro card? If I get a microSD -> Duo Pro adapter, how fast should the MicroSD card be? Should I just get a bigger Duo Pro stick?

I had a sudden hankering to play Patapon 2 the other day, so I pulled out my PSP for the first time in a long time... It's running 5.00 M33-6, to which I read is still the latest in that branch (I never trusted GEN, for whatever bizarre reason), and still works alright.

Charge it up, turn it on, and go to start Patapon 2, and I get a version check. It wants 5.03. I know I've played it before on this PSP, but it's been so long, I don't remember how (or what I may have done to change that).

Tried installing that Prometheus program in the OP, that didn't do it. Went and found that USB Version Fake plugin that I remember using some time back, that didn't do it either.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

ef0 is the PSP Go internal Storage, ms0 is the memory card. I think you have to activate the plugins to where the games are located. If there are games on the internal storage, then you need to use the ef0 and vice versa.

Probably should have mentioned it's a PSP-2000.

Either way, I got it working by running NPDecrypter and turning it into an ISO. Whatever works.

I'd suggest getting a Photofast stick and filling it with 2 micro SD cards, its going to be substantially cheaper than getting a bigass memory stick. You could probably get up to 32GB for $50 or so.

Ah, that's pretty cool, didn't know you could fit 2 microSDs in a Pro Duo. I assume that as long as you format it from the PSP and do USB Drive access from the PSP, it doesn't matter if there's two separate cards in, huh?
