The Super PSP Thread

I miss interpreted your post highflyer..was drunk maybe..I thought it was 303 firmware.
Sorry man...what a idiot i am....forgive me father but i have sinned today.(ok my son tell me about it)..duh
 
By the way steve-0. You need to get SimplePopstation and Fastloader.

SimplePopstation will let you convert you PS1 games to PSP-PSX games, so you'll be able to play them on your PSP. You'll need to convert all your games to ISO though. It also lets you use your own pictures for the custom eboot. And if your games are all in PAL, it has the option to convert it to NTSC. At the moment PAL games doesn't play so well on the PSP, the display is shifted off the screen.

Fastloader will let you rip your UMD games to ISO, and they say it's very easy to use. I don't have links for these at the moment, however I do have the rar files with these homebrew. I can always take them to work and email them to you. They are just over 500KB each.
 
I'll get a link for usbsss tomorrow.

You know... it is very very unfair! The people in the US of A gets to get FREE demo UMD's of God Of War, whilst us poor Saffas have to suffer and wait for the game. So not fair :(
 
Hi guys. Had a bad couple of days, so been out of it. Anyways, thanks for the advice on the UMD's and PS1 story. I haven’t had a chance to mess around with this, but hoping tomorrow will be the winner. Did a brief search for usbsss and found a few forum links, but no place to download, is this due to lack of sleep on my part???

SlickNick, while you on about the Free Demos from Sony, I registered with 'My PSP' when I got my unit about 2 months back, and they sent me a little wallet thing to store my UMD's in, which I thought was a nice touch since as I didn’t expect it and it came all the way from the UK.

I messed around a little with DGen 1.7 on the weekend, and have an interesting problem, which may or may not be normal. I follow the instructions and put everything in the PSP\Game150 folder, and I can access the app with no problems and it works perfectly. However, below the loader to the app under Game, there is 'Corrupted Data'. If I remove one of the folders, it goes away, but then the app doesn’t run. Is this normal? I am also having the exact same problem with Snes9x.
:)
 
well this is how you fix it .Go to recovery menuswitch psp on with your finger on the right trigger.then go into configuration and set the corrupticons to hide...sorted man
 
well sometimes this dont always work as there is a app that i run on 340oea that just keeps the corrupt icon,i think its a bug...well ther is another way is to rename the folder with the folder of your app with the % sign to _(what ever the folder name)_for example %__sce__usbsss
there is apps for renaming psp folders to hide corrupt folders.
remember that if you delete these corrupt icons,your games/apps wont work as these folders contain a eboot to.
there are so many apps out there that rename folders to hide corrupt icons..I am just to tired to look on my pc now.

Also steve check in the recoverymenu if you have it on 1.5 kernal or 3. kernal.....I dont think this will fix it though...
 
The Demo of God of War isn't coming from the My PSP site. I received a Spiderman 2 UMD movie when I registered there. However when you sign up on the God of War website, you get a free Demo UMD of the game.

The corrupted icons can be a bitch at times. I remember whilst I was on 3.03 OE-C, I had the option set to hide the corrupted icons, but there was one certain piece of homebrew (I think an emulator), which kept displaying a corrupted icon. I removed the homebrew which I suspected, and voila.

Recovery Menu Tutorial by lommer

Here is a great little Recovery Menu tutorial by someone named lommer, which I found here: http://www.pspmod.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-16049.html

I added some stuffs, you'll see them between the *'s and in bold.

To access the Recovery Menu, hold R while powering on the PSP.

The recovery menu is a feature of custom firmware. It allows you to recover, customize and Setup your PSP .

3.03OE-C Recovery Menu Features (Similar to 3.10OE-A) *and 3.30/40 OE*

Toggle USB
This enables you to access your PSP's memory stick over the USB connection.use this if you cannot enter the xmb.

Configuration
This enables you to configure some options in 3.03 OE-C *3.10/3.30/3.40*. All settings are disabled by default.

Skip SCE logo
This disables the Sony Computer Entertainment logo from playing when power on the psp.

Hide corrupt icons
This hides the corrupted icons generated by Kxploited homebrew (homebrew that comes in two folders). This can slightly slow down your GAME menu if you have a large amount of homebrew.

Game folder homebrew (currently 3.03 Kernel)
This lets you choose whether to load programs with the 3.03 kernel or the 1.50 kernel. it is strongly recommended to use the 1.50 kernel for Homebrew users.

Autorun program at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP
This will allow you to run the EBOOT located at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP whenever your PSP starts up. This feature is used by some homebrew programs . Any eboot run in this way will run on the 1.50 kernel.

Use NO-UMD Mode
This will enable you to run backup games iso/cso from your memory stick without needing to have a UMD in the drive. Compatibility is somewhat low, Most of the games need a UMD in the drive.

Fake region
with this option you can set the psp region to Japan, USA, Europe or Korea. Setting the region to Japan enables you to visit a video download service (Portable player) through the Network section of the PSP's main interface, but it is impossible for people outside of Japan to download the videos .

Free UMD Region
This enables UMD movies and music to run region-free.

Run program at PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP
This will recover your PSP if it has been semi-bricked.

Advanced
This enables you to configure some advanced options and mount your PSP's internal flash to your computer via USB. Messing with this without knowing what you're doing can result in a Semi-Brick or permanent brick.

Advanced Configuration
This enables you to configure advanced options.

Plain modules in UMD/ISO
This allows certain forms of unsigned code to be run from within an ISO. There aren't really any practical uses to this function, and it can make some UMDs and ISOs incompatible with your firmware. Developers can use this function to experiment with running homebrew from within an ISO.


Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO
This runs BOOT.BIN inside the ISO instead of EBOOT.BIN. Useless unless you're a developer experimenting with the Plain modules in UMD/ISO feature, you shouldn't use this feature; average users have no need to toggle this.

Use isofs driver also in UMD-inserted mode
Runs UMDs using the ISO driver. For non-developers, this will do nothing more than reduce compatibility.

Toggle USB (flash 0)
This enables you to access your PSP's internal flash 0 memory over the USB connection. Messing with these files can result in a brick; there is simply no reason for the average user to use this feature.

Toggle USB (flash 1)
This enables you to access your PSP's internal flash 1 memory over the USB connection. Messing with these files can result in your settings becoming corrupted.

CPU Speed
These settings enable you to change how fast the CPU runs in games and in the PSP's interface and web browser. Higher numbers will result in better performance at a cost of battery life.

Speed in XMB
This determines how fast the processor will run when it isn't playing games. If you browse the internet or watch movies, you might want to increase the speed.

Speed in UMD/ISO
This determines how well games will run. The higher the value, the higher the framerate. If you experience any slowdown in a game, increasing this number should eliminate it.

Plugins
You can use this menu to enable any PRX plugins that you've copied to your seplugins folder.

Registry hacks
These settings allow you to change a few registry-related settings in the firmware.

Button Assign
the X and O functionality seemed to be switched on the japanese version.
This allows you to change circle or X as the enter button.

Activate WMA
Enable wma playback without network connection. Official 3.03 won't let you enable this without connection to Sony's servers using a wireless internet connection.(wifi)

Activate Flash Player
This allows you to activate the PSP's Flash Player. Official 3.03 won't let you enable this without connection to Sony's servers using a wireless internet connection.(wifi)

Exit
To exit the Recovery Menu and restart the PSP.

How to downgrade to 1.50 from the Recovery Menu
This can be used to fix your PSP if it Semi-bricks, as long as you can access the recovery menu.

Download and Extract the RECOVERY folder(Winrar recommended)

http://www.zshare.net/download/recovery-rar-ar7.html

Copy the RECOVERY folder to PSP/GAME/

Start your PSP in Recovery Mode, then choose "Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP". Read the instructions and press x. This will Downgrade your psp to 1.50 version. Don't shutdown the PSP or remove the memory stick until the update is finished.
Once finished, shutdown the psp and restart manually to 1.50.



How to enter Recovery Mode?
Turn your PSP completely off by holding the power switch for several seconds. When you turn it back on, hold the right trigger until you enter the recovery menu.
