You can try adding image files as thumbnails for the videos. Maybe it's trying to generate them from the videos themselves.

Hey Homebrew thread, I've got a question: Are any of you guys familiar with IRshell? It's a CFW associated thingamajig that lets you use a PS3 controller connect to a PSP and work with it. From what I've seen, it only works for certain m33 CFW (I think 3.60 - 5.50). I'm wondering if you guys know if it works for any other CFW, particularly any of the Prometheus CFWs. My analog stick is all sorts of hosed up and I would love it if I was able to use this alongside PRO.

It takes like 3 minutes, you need 1 screwdriver, and the replacement sticks are 2 or 3 bucks. Nothing hard about it at all. I don't know much about IRshell other than the fact that it's ugly but it let me use my 1000 as a tv remote.

Unfortunately the project seems to have died, so we're probably not going to see it on anything newer.

It's also no longer developed, since the 1000 went off sale forever ago, and you shouldn't let it hold you back from being able to do, you know, anything else with your PSP. Also yeah fix your stick I have no idea how you could stand to not have base functionality available for so long*. *"So long" meaning anything other than "attempt fix / order replacement parts the same day, barring interviews and funerals". dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jun 9, 2011 |

I've just converted my own Front Mission 3 iso and converted it using popstation gui, when I load it up on my PSP I just get a black screen, I can still access the home menu (or whatever it's called where you can quit game, change memory card etc.) but the game just hangs on a black screen indefinitely, am I missing something here?

Some games require specific patching in order to work on homebrew. Something to do with how they're programmed. I know the recent Tactics Ogre needed to be patched. I don't know about that game specifically but that would be my bet.

I believe he's talking a PSX game converted to the PSP, not a PSP game directly. A brief Google search indicates that it should work fine in 6.35 PRO. Try using another converter like impalerPSX and see if that makes any difference.

Coldbird is doing a public test of his adhoc-online mode. I don't own Gods Eater Burst, which is what they're using for the test (Coldbird loves that game), and I'm not that big into online gaming; so if you want to keep track of his progress, you should probably bookmark his blog. Also 6.39 TN-A HEN is out. Its exactly the same as 6.20 TN-E, and TotalNoob doesn't seem to want to work on it anymore, so don't expect updates anytime soon.

I've been running m33-6 up until now, and I just upgraded to 6.20 PRO-B6. Valkyria Chronicles II wouldn't start regardless of which driver I used. Then I checked and it actually requires 6.30. I just installed the version.txt for 6.39, and the game starts now, but it says my save data is corrupt. There isn't a way for me to fix this, is there.

Armor-Piercing posted:The save data is still on the PSP though, so wouldn't it be the same as what my backup would have been? Or does the process of installing OFW 6.20 and then PRO-B6 affect save files directly? The latter. For some reason it, installing custom firmware has a chance to gently caress around with your save files at random. Backing up your saves should be in the OP whenever you install any custom firmware.

I have a somewhat noob question for the Homebrew thread. I bought a PSP-1000 at launch years and years ago and at around the same time lost interest in console gaming completely. Recently I got a hold of a couple PSP RPGs I'd been dying to try (FF4 Complete & Yggdra Union) dusted off my ancient system and booted it up and discovered something. It was still running firmware version 1.50 from launch and requires an update for me to even play the two games I bought. I hesitated about agreeing to the update because I remember some friends telling me about how highly valued/unique early model 1000's with early firmware versions were. I've never done homebrew before and I haven't done any emulation at all outside of some translated Super Famicom RPGs on ZSNES on my computer. Should I just go ahead and buy a new battery pack for this system, update the firmware, and play the new games I got, or am I doing myself some kind of massive disservice by potentially ruining some kind of Holy Grail of PSPs?

1.50 doesn't mean anything anymore. If you want to try homebrew, update to 6.20 (6.35 if you actually use Qriocity) and Pro it. If you don't, just update to latest, and if you think you ever even might try it, keep an eye on this in case new firmware happens (not that it's likely, with the Vita on the way, but.)

This might be obvious but I'm new to homebrew on the PSP and want to be careful. I'm running 6.20 PRO and want to update to 6.39 PRO. Is it safe to just run the OFW 6.39 update and then install 6.39 PRO as the instructions in the OP state, or do I need to revert back to original OFW first and then do it all from scratch?

Ghastric posted:This might be obvious but I'm new to homebrew on the PSP and want to be careful. Yep, it's safe. I was able to do this going from 5.50 GEN-D3 Prom-4 to get to 6.39 PRO-B6, so I'd imagine you'd be safe going from any CFW. I'm really not sure there's much benefit over going from 6.20 to 6.39, though (for example, you have to run the flasher each time you boot to load into CFW for now). I am still on 6.39 but I think the goon-recommended CFW is still 6.20.

So the emulator list in the OP is pretty up-to-date? I can never find what I want on the site they seem to be linking to. I have a 2000 with Prometheus... doesn't say 4 after it, only 5.50 Prometheus. I honestly don't remember if Prometheus was at 4 when I put it on. Were there any other versions? Are the emulators specific for each firmware? Man, that site really confuses me.

Qj.net's download section is far better for searching. I only link to psp-hack's downloads because I don't have to update the links every time a new version comes out.Ghastric posted:This might be obvious but I'm new to homebrew on the PSP and want to be careful.

Also if not 6.20, 6.35. IME 6.39 still hardlocks connecting to PSN, and also all the security and compatibility features from 6.39 that anyone other than Sony would want are in 6.20 PRO. 6.35 PRO has the advantage of having Qriocity, 6.20 PRO has permanent install. 6.39 PRO has nothing on either. Your choice.

Just traded in my 1000 for a 3000, and got 6.20 PRO installed on it after dealing with some snags. Might want to update the OP with a little blurb about removing old plugins before upgrading off of older CFW. I just spent 30 minutes because PRO would try to load some incompatible plugin from Gen and shut the system down instead of restarting. Seems to be working good now though. Edit: Also does popsloader work properly with 6.20 PRO? I'm trying to get my homemade copy of Xenogears working. FuzzyPickles fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Jun 19, 2011 |
