Followed a guide on another site for '6.35 PRO-B2' and just installed an SNES emulator and it works. This is awesome. Thanks for the help guys.

I have one more question though, you say this isn't as good as an actual 'hacked' PSP, what is missing exactly?

Converted PS1 titles are supposed to work, but I've had no luck with them yet. (It might be they only work with the kind that need a keys.bin to work?)

ISO ripping from apps doesn't work (yet?), and the VSH Menu ripper cuts off the last sector (which isn't always important, but sometimes it's got active data in it).

Haven't seen a working variant of gpSP yet.

That's all I can think of.

Very, very basic question: If I buy a PSP Go today, will I be able to run PSX games that aren't PSN-released yet that I own copies of? I want to play Legend of Mana at work and I genuinely want a PSP Go because of its design.

I was looking at getting a GO and I don't believe self ripped psx games work very well if at all at this point if you don't have a full CFW. I'm interested in it, but until I can do all the things I can do with my 1000 I wont be picking one up.

Edit: I stand corrected. I didn't think it was fully working with PRO. I may need to pick up a GO.

Um, PSX titles work perfectly on my PSP Go. I'm running 6.35 PRO B-2.
I'm using Popstation to convert them and I haven't had any trouble.

Then again, if you're converting "special" games like Chrono Cross, you might want to check this link - you have to create the eboot with a different gameid.

I've been using one called UnOfficial gpSP Kai user 64M test 02 on Pro-B just fine. I can't remember where I got it from but I did a quick google and there seems to be more updated versions of it around but gods know which ones the most recent. That version worked well enough for me although I've only used it to play Final Fantasy VI Advance so far.

Earlier you mentioned this was important for Valkyria Chronicles 2. Like how important, because I'm currently playing VC2 ripped using the VSH menu. :ohdear:


Also before I forget, in my own experience; Chrono Cross at least is working fine, and so does GPSP Kai 3.3 Test 2, though make sure to set Fake_Fat to on before loading a game.

Looks like the names of nine ADX files at the end of Odin.CPK. I don't know enough about monolithic files on the PSP to know if it's a manifest for external editors or an actual file table, so I don't know if you'd actually lose sound (potentially an improvement, depending on who lost a line or two :fry:).

It could be worse: In Kenka Bancho the missing data would have been part of the skillset editor.

1) vkeios: Whoops, it wasn't Odin.CPK. It was stream/od_voice.afs that was severed. Blame ISObuster not telling you what file the sector you're viewing is in in the sector view window.

Everything else I said was accurate, though.

1) There was no 5.31 - you probably have 6.31.

2) Use PSP Module Checker. It should be signed, but if you have to update to 6.35 and use PRO HEN, it's not the worst thing in the world. Don't use Settings > System Update; that'll put you at 6.37 and then you're screwed.

If your module is 09g, you can't downgrade below 6.30. If it's less, you can go down to 6.20 (TN-D) or 5.03 (ChickHEN :barf:) like in the OP, but with PRO where it is now, it's hard to imagine why you would.

to upgrade to pro-b from pro... do I just get into normal 6.35 firmware then install pro as normal? does having pro-b do anything?


edit: what I meant was, I have pro-b 2 already. I can just install over that?
edit 2: op says "It installs a few files to your flash0". This is why I'm asking. I already have 6.35 pro-b2 on my psp.

Holy crap. It's in the OP.

Yes, install 6.35 and then run PRO B-3 Installer. Then use the quick recovery app from there on.

All PRO is a Light Custom Firmware. It's not permanent, but it does everything that CFW can do now. That is run PSP Games, PSN Access (I believe this is new in B3, if not, planned for C), PSX games and homebrew (games and emulators). Also plugins if you want cheaters and other nifty stuff.

Free feel to add anything if I forgot.

Yeah you can just install it over B2, I just did that in fact. Just start up the installer and pick the reinstall option (hold L, press X).

B3 adds bug fixes and some debug fake region option, which gently caress if I know what those do.

I have a PSP1000 now that is slowly wearing out (damaged pixels, etc). I was thinking of getting a PSP3000 since it dropped in price. I also want to get it for the lighter weight, better screen, and the extra memory for homebrew. For those who already have one and using HEN, is it more difficult to use than a CFW? Or it's pretty much the same once it's loaded into memory?

I haven't used CFW, but there's really nothing difficult about it. I had more trouble finding plugins and what not that worked than setting them up.

Honestly you'd probably be better off with a used PSP-2000. Same lighter weight and a better screen and extra RAM, but you can go full CFW with most models.

HEN's easy as poo poo to use; you just boot it up once when you power the system on and then don't power it off again until you really need to. Instead of powering it down each time you wanna swap games, you just use the Home button to pull yourself back to the XMB each time you gotta do it.

Technically yes, in that they can't be downgraded below 6.30 even if you have a vulnerable firmware on it, but they aren't coming with 6.37 yet, and 6.35 PRO-B2 isn't terribly limiting.

Yes, If it's at or below 6.35 you can do quite a bit of homebrew now, but there's still a bit of stuff you can do on the latest firmware, like some emulators and stuff.

I think that's simply a perception thing, since there is literally NO way to just look at a list of items for CFW and know what it can do and then compare that with the new HEN hacks or whatever they are.

Without such a simple thing as a plain english feature list it's impossible to know just what you're gaining/losing by changing and many people are probably way too worried that half their backups or homebrews suddenly won't run anymore and they're stuck with no way to downgrade back to their CFW.

I used ImpalerPSX on an ISO I made with MagicISO. I entered the name of the game into the game name field and hit search. I selected the US version of the game from the list. (I made sure it was the first game) I hit Create and waited until the process completed. I then moved the newly created syphon filter folder from Imaper's results folder into the psp's games folder. I start it and get the standard warning message saying that the game has been converted for use on the psp and then black.

I would say use ImgBurn to rip the game disc into bin/cue format. Apparently PS1 discs have some encoding to them where they don't convert well into ISO files. To convert it to an eboot I would also use a program called PSX2PSP. It's basically the same program but with a better interface. 1.4.2 is the latest version as far as I know. I did this with my copy of Final Fantasy VII and it worked fine.

Adhoc to USB was updated to work with 6.2x & 6.3x. If you got a windows computer, you can use this with Xlink Kai to play adhoc multiplayer over the internet. of course, only with other people who are using the same setup. Still cheaper than buying a PS3 though.

RemoteJoyLite was also updated for 6.20-3x. With this you can output your PSP's video to your PC monitor and even use a different controller if you like. The drivers are unsigned though, so its a pain in the rear end to use on Windows 7.
