Well Some1's Downgrader has been updated for 6.60. And now you can downgrade to whatever firmware you want now (Please don't do something stupid like 1.50 on a Go though, that definitely won't work).

You can probably expect the next Pro-B to have 6.60 support. Not that there's any real reason to use 6.60.

I have a launch PSP with custom firmware and am a bit out of the loop as far as newer models go, but does this essentially mean I can walk into a store and buy any new PSP and be able to use proper homebrew on it?

At this point, yep. Hell, how many of the current in store psps even have 6.60? Isn't it pretty new?

Nothing should have 6.60. Not even the PSP-E1000,* which isn't out yet.


*the E1000 is a europe-only budget-line PSP that lacks Wifi and costs €99.99. Might as well get a used 3000 or Go instead.

Well drat. Apparently over 600 roms will cause snes9x euphoria to crash on start up.
Do any of the other emulator programs have an issue similar to this?

RIN GB/GBC can crash the PSP about 10% of the time. But Euphoria is just a really bad emulator in general compared to SNES9X.

Am I doing something wrong with Masterboy? Every time I quit I have to screw with the settings again, which is even more annoying than RIN.

1) I haven't used Masterboy in a while but I think you have to manually save settings to make them permanent.

2) This clearly won't work if the files are read-only.

I've been saving my settings every time I start playing. How do I make the files not read-only?

I had this problem with RIN like someone else mentioned already. I ended up just dividing the roms equally into different folders (roms A-C in one folder, D-F, X-#, etc) to get around it.

I'd have made fewer and larger folders but AFAIK you can only scroll through roms in RIN individually rather than paging through them like most other emulators.

You know, I've noticed that in some games, loading a savestate causes the game to stop. Or in some cases, the game blackscreens on a certian screen. Does the other snes emulator on the psp not do this?

Yha, that sounds like a good idea. Of course, I've been systematically giving each rom about 1-2 minutes play on desktop, and deciding which to put on the psp for now. It takes longer, but there's a lot less bloat. I'll probably do it for the NES one however, because good lord.

Great, I'll try that one then. I though Euphoria was better as it was based off of the other one, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe the newer edition caused some bugs or something? I dunno.

On two different PSPs running two different CFWs I always got poo poo performance out of it and thought SNES emulation was just a dream on the PSP until I tried 9x on a whim and fell in love with my childhood again.

*chomp chomp chomp*
Are you guys talking about SNES9X TYL 0.4.2mecm? Because while the performance is good it has a "feature" that stops you from saving your game in any way when the battery gets to about 20%, which is really really annoying because there is still plenty of playtime left.

What's the best CFW for my PSP GO that won't require running a "fast loader" if a game crashes and I need to restart the device? Is there one? I currently have 6.35 PRO-B3 and certain games I play crash a bit because of the codes I have enabled in whatever cheat device plugin I'm using.

vkeios
May 7, 2007




Pro-B9 is no longer in beta, and there's now a version for firmware 6.60. Also Popsloader updated for 6.60.

To recap:
6.20 has a permanent patch, which works for most PSPs (some 3000s excluded)
6.35 has no way to permanently install it.
6.39 has the CIPL Flasher, which works on the old hackable PSPs (all 1000s and some 2000s)
6.60 also has the CIPL Flasher.

I would try to set it to use version.txt in the Recovery Menu and put the 6.60 version.txt in /seplugins/.

This may not work, however, in which case you may have to go through Media Go. (Yes it says you have to update, but you can transfer stuff to the PSP from the computer-side Games list.)

vkeios
May 7, 2007




For some reason, there's now a separate file for PS3 and Media Go version faking. So instead of version.txt, call the file usbversion.txt. And when using either of the version.txts, make sure the relevant option is enabled in the recovery menu.

Sadly, despite the update to Popsloader, Dragon Quest VII still doesn't work and I can't use any pops above 3.52 and below 4.01 or so. Which are apparently the ones that work. The talk in that wololo thread about popsdeco's beta versions of popsloader say that they have them working, but I have no clue how to decipher what they're doing. Anyone had any luck reading through that thread and getting them to work on 6.39 PRO?

From what I can tell, it *still* have the same symptoms, even with the beta versions. Like I said, I would suggest submitting a ticket here.

And see if anyone responds. Be sure to include your firmware, the previous descriptions, and what popsloader you're using.

You have to upgrade to official firmware 6.20 first. Not sure if it being a non US unit matters or not, though.

ISOs go in the ISO folder in your PSP's root directory.

So if I don't have an ISO folder already ( straight up in the root, not under /PSP right? ) I just create it? It sounds like it's supposed to be there already after re-reading the OP's...I created it manually anyway just to do it but still don't know where to access them via the XMB, or is it supposed to have an "ISO" icon along with Game/Video/etc?

I don't have a PSPGo, but with my PSP1000 and 3000, yep, it's just in the root. If you've put your ISOs in there and have your CFW running, they should show up in the save data option under Game.

Alright, I gave it a try, since I own DQ7 (Maybe I'll get around to beating it this time).

You want to grab Popsdeco's poploader, just replace your old popscore.prx and popsloader.prx with the ones in the dist folder. And if you haven't already extracted the popsloader modules from the various OFW, Popsdeco has also made a tool for that.

I got DQ7 working on 6.60 Pro-B9, with 3.52 pops. Working text windows and all.

That's how you get tinnitus

I'm on a PSP-3000 using the 6.39 Pro-B6 cfw, and I'm trying to use the PC-98 emulator linked earlier in the thread but I can't get a game to run in it, and all the support I can find online is in Japanese which doesn't help me much.

I figured out that I need to select the game file in the HDD menu then use the reset option in the Emulate menu, but then it just gives me this which I assume is an error message:



Anyone have any idea what's going on?
