Keito posted:On the other hand, if you're using an older PSP that can permanently install PRO on 6.60, there's no reason not to update all the way. Sweet I got the red psp so I'll do that then. Is there an easy way to manage save data? The data is stored with random names and I can't easily identify it. So if I want to move a backup onto the card, I'm not sure how to easily find (ie. read) the save data for it.

Rekkit posted:Sweet I got the red psp so I'll do that then. The first nine characters of the save folder's name match the disc ID (and the name of the eboot's containing folder, if it's a PSN title - try matching it by file size or save icon). After that it's up to the developers. Also Media Go has save handling. I'm hesitant to call it decent but if anyone in the scene's done it better I don't know about it.

Read the OP, still have a few questions. I'm a long time DS homebrew enthusiast considering grabbing a PSP mainly for emulation purposes. It seems like the PSP does emulation head and shoulders above than the DS. How are the higher-end emulators, like the N64 or the PSX emulators? The DS has issues with anything more advanced than NES games, even with the SuperCard DSTWO with its built in CPU. How's the battery life using emulation? Can the system be put into sleep mode while emulating? This is a big factor for me as I play a lot of GBA games on my DS right now and not only does the CPU on the DSTWO card eat up battery life, you can't put the system to sleep while the emulator's running. Finally I'm completely ignorant about PSPs. What PSP should I buy? What accessories are considered essential? Thanks for any help you can give.

Are you just getting it for emulation/homebrew? If so, get a Go. It's got the best form factor and battery life for that. If you're getting it for real PSP games, too, get a PSP 3000. In terms of accessories, a case might help, as the PSP is quite a deal more fragile than the DS, which I'm pretty sure is made out of depleted uranium and that stuff Wolverine's skeleton is made out of. There's some OK screen protectors out there if you're paranoid, and I'd recommend getting a microfiber cloth (the kind they normally sell to clean eyeglasses with) to clean the screen.

What accessories are considered essential? Thanks for any help you can give. Definitely some sort of case. Since you're doing mostly emulation and possibly ISO-ripping of your purchased UMDs, you could probably get away with a slim case that doesn't have extra space for UMDs and all that fancy stuff. I use a pretty simple pouch and it's more than sufficient. If you do plan on doing the above, I'd suggest picking up a Micro SD-to-Memory Stick adapter kit. It's a Memory Stick with two slots for Micro SDs. You can buy this and 2 16gb Micro SDs for cheaper than a Memory Stick. This should be more than enough storage for all of your emulation and UMD-ripping needs.

Question - I have a PSP GO running 6.60 PRO-B10, and I installed RemoteJoy v.19 - it works and connects for video, but I can't seem to get my 360 wireless controller working. I went into the settings for RemoteJoy and setup the controls correctly, it just seems like for some reason it won't take input. Any ideas? Alright, maybe I can reword this and hit on something similar: I have a PSP Go, running 6.60 PRO-B10, and I would like to play MHP3rd over remotejoy or something similar. I can setup a PS3 controller, so the input problem above is mostly just a pain but overcomable, but for whatever reason I can't seem to consistently get RJL and MHP3rd working together. Any ideas?

Well my PSP sold on ebay for $100, not bad considering I bought it for $125 two years ago! My question is, do we have a Vita thread like this one? I want to get one and still run homebrew on it, if possible. My real question is, if the Vita is a kick rear end system, will SNES emulation finally run perfect? N64? MAME? Etc.

The only Vita homebrew so far involves exploits to run PSP homebrew. There's nothing native as yet. As for emulation: IF we ever end up harnessing the full power of the Vita, it should play most SFC and N64 games at acceptable speeds and accuracy, rather than the handful you get on PSP. IF. Some parts of MAME will still be dicey. bogalx posted:Whoa there, brother. Didn't know that particular hb existed. This was just from my first google hit for "5.50 gen-d3 to 6.60". Seemed concise enough. Sorry about that. It's just that you're not the first person to suggest going into flash0 to fix the problem, and while PSPs that had traditional CFW on them are becoming rare, by definition so are PSPs that can be fixed with Pandora batteries, and for that matter so are PSPs that can make Pandora batteries and the batteries themselves. A brick these days could for practical purposes be a device's death sentence, and who knows how long the PSP will stay on the market. Better to expose it to as little risk as possible, is all, even if the safe route is kind of tedious. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Feb 7, 2012 |

If Vita homebrew kicks off, then yes, SNES and older will all be able to be emulated perfectly on it. Well, theoretically able, you have to wait for the emulation authors to get their poo poo in gear. I have a feeling that even the PSP is theoretically capable of running almost all SNES games perfectly but emulator coding and optimization is actually incredibly hard. After all, the official PS1 emulator is a pure software emulator, isn't it? The Vita could possibly emulate even the PS2 if a good enough emulator gets coded for it. Don't really expect it, though.

Yeah, this was always the big problem with emulation on the PSP: No one was really willing to do more than 'hurr port snes9x' (substitute other emulator names as necessary), and the PSP is not the kind of device that works well with it, and it's too late to go back and fix now. Granted we got Media Engine out of it, but one-size-fits-all [L]CFW kind of crippled that. On the other hand I wouldn't expect anything like bsnes-accuracy. And I would be legitimately surprised if there isn't eventually (even if it's like 2014/15) a PS2 emulator built into the Vita. Sony has to know how valuable that would be, even if it's just to get people to rebuy their existing libraries. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Feb 7, 2012 |

I still stand by my crazy theory that the four PS2 Classics on the PS3 are just a test for sony to get software PS2 emulation working on PS3 so they can port it over to Vita eventually.

I'm using an ancient PSP, one of the very first ones (PSP1001) and it's currently running 5.00 m33-6. I'd like to upgrade, and preferably to permanent firmware. From reading the past few pages it seems that old PSPs can run PRO 6.60 permanently, is this correct? Do I just follow the instructions below and run CIPL Flasher (because I have a PSP 1000) to make it permanent? quote:Prep work before installing Pro-B Those instructions make it seem like I'm installing OFW 6.60 and then using the PRO-B10.fix1 to change it to CFW PRO 6.60 - is it really that simple? I seem to remembering it being much more difficult than that to get 5.00 m33-6 on it.

I seem to remembering it being much more difficult than that to get 5.00 m33-6 on it. That's exactly what I did to get away from 5.00. My Harvey Birdman save got corrupted, though I'd only played through the first case so it didn't really matter. Thought save corruption only happened with the GEN firmwares, but you might want to backup your saves just in case.

Awesome, thanks guys. Doing it now. Will PRO 6.60 let me buy and download games from the PSN Store? Is it safe to use my regular PSN account that I use on my PS3 or should I make a dummy one just in case? I did read on the last couple of pages I can buy and download on my PS3 and then just move them over via USB - I might just do that.

The "save corruption" thing is actually an issue of certain games on certain CFW versions not signing the save files correctly, the files themselves aren't corrupted during the update process but get created "corrupted" (ie not correctly signed), which doesn't matter while you're still on that firmware but of course other firmwares that properly check for save signing/encryption refuse to load them. There's a (kinda convoluted) way to properly resign save files if you really happen to end up with an important save in a corrupted state, so it's not that big of a deal anyway.

So I just finished the installation for RemoteJoyLite and I can't seem to get it to even work. Using PSP Go on 6.60 PRO-B10 with Windows Vista 32-bit. I already disabled driver signature enforcement and even after enabling the PSP side plug-in I can't get a picture on the PC program after connecting the PSP to the computer. Reset VSH a few times, set it to USB mode, nothing. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: Wait what? I actually got picture when I tried to run a game. Never mind.

I really wanted to finish birth by sleep (busted analog nub) but it's not on the psn. Not that I know of. The only thing I know of is Homebrew Loader being ported to Vita; which runs in the PSP emulator and requires an unnamed PSN game for its exploit. So Sony will probably take down the game and patch it in the same day that the new HBL is released. For the near future, Vita homebrew is probably going to be just PSP homebrew running in the emulator.
