Official PSP 1.50 exploit thread (proper loader has arrived)

Not open for further replies.
I'd try it (maybe), if I knew how to load it in. Can someone please make a proper translation from the spanish original?

So in order to load an emulator on the train on the way to work I have to carry a spare memory stick, and will need to switch memory sticks on demand, risking the very real possibility that the PSP will do its normal job of doubling as a rocket launcher, firing my 1GB memory stick at high velocity into first class?

Meh.

Plus after a couple of swaps, the memory stick cover on your PSP will have fallen off down the back of a seat.

And when do you swap? It just says 'get ready to swap'. So do you swap with the icon highlighted, or press the button then quickly swap? Sounds like a recipe for a corrupted mem. stick to me.

and does it only run one piece of homebrew code? Is there launcher software available so you can choose?

I think I'll wait until someone else has checked it out, and there are more 'friendly' emus out there. Can't be arsed until then.

fuck PSP



Who is she?
 
i agree. but fuck theres so many steps in the process and you have to do them every single time you want to put something new on your memcard. fuck.
 
Well atleast its a way to use your 1.5 for emus and stuff, so a thank you is in place.

Just remember when doctors finally could change a heart on a human... and then they told the patient how they did it .. and he starts yelling "WTF, so complicated??.. gah.. im not even sure what you guys talk about.."
:lol

yeah, i agree... damn spanish doctors!
 
Can someone post the instructions on how to use it so I can read them because this sounds worthless. I can't click on those links.

So if I dont bother with dling new stuff to the memstick I only have to do this once? What if I turn the PSP off, then what happens?
 
Well it works.

Install the program, choose your PBP file (e.g. the SNES emulator) and it will output 2 folders, MS 1 and MS 2. Put the contents of MS 1 on the 1st memory stick so it shows up in the PSP e.g. (PSP/GAME/SNES), same on the second stick.

As soon as you start the program from MS 1, instantly take out MS 1 and put in MS 2 and the homebrew starts straight away.

At least it works.


As soon as you exit the emu, you'll have to do the swap to launch another one.
 
What i understand.. when you have everything you want on your memorystick. You only need to do the swaptrick each time you wanna play your emus etc after turning off the unit.
 
It doesn't launch a "launcher". It creates a custom pbp file based on what you input, i.e. SNES, NES etc. The swap trick will launch that emu.
 
Stop bitching and do something if you don't like it...I don't like it and that's what I'll do...ehrr who does sell me a v1.0 ????
 
My problem is this, from all the videos out there none of them showed a swap AT ALL! Could the official release be different?

You could always run it in Virtual PC or QEMU or something. Or just borrow a friend's PC to do it, it doesn't look like it takes long.

I hope so...
 
I'll wait for someone to confirm that they don't have to swap again until shutting down the PSP before I give this a shot (ie find access to a 2nd memory card).
 
ok I dont think I am going to try this thing out. But after reading the pdf file it seems like you have to do the swap trick every time you want to launch anything that is not digitally signed.
 
OMG!!! It needs a second MS, this shit is useless!!!!


Sorry, but I can't understand some of you. Maybe you should start an online petition so Sony releases a firmware downgrade and everybody has a 1.0 version.
 
Damn.

And here I was looking forward to playing my my 600 Master System roms on the PSP. Oh well,DreamCast continues to be my savior.
 
ok, i'm not gonna PM everyone

her name is Mayu Yano... this is da only decent pic of her.... google images is your friend i think.

It's obviously not "useless", but it's considerably less useful than we were led to believe by the videos. The second video even had a selection screen where the "loader" searched for stuff to run on the memory stick and then presented you with a menu allowing you to pick what to run. None of the videos showed any of the swap trick or PC stuff. Still, now that there IS a way to run homebrew on 1.50, perhaps someone will find a way to downgrade the firmware using it.
 
Works a treat, I've got my 32mb stick filled with the tiny pbp launchers in their directories (e.g. PSP\GAME\NES\ and PSP\GAME\SNES\ etc) with matching directories on the 1GB stick. Changing emulators requires a reswap but hey, it works. And like Danj mentioned, maybe now we can run homebrew, there might be a way to downgrade.
 
I always hate that people start bitching about free stuff.

Great to hear it works. Any hints for Mac people on how to proceed?
 
I'm firing my Memory stick out of my PSP at the speed of light and still can't get the other one in quick enough to swap. wtfkles?

Ok for some reason this isnt working for me, i downloaded a snes emulator from psphacker.com to test it but I cant get it to work. I started the program on the 1st memory stick then swapped them REALLY quick, then the screen just stayed the same for a few seconds and the PSP turned itself off... when exactly do you swap the sticks? when the white "PSP" screen is up? just afterwards? maybe its the program im using, what program are you testing it with?

(BTW this is not a question about how to get the emulator itself to work, just the homebrew loader)
 
Well although you can only get the PSP to run one app, that app can just load data in, so people will be able to code mini frontends to launch your own programs. And they won't need to be in fancy .PBP format, just .dat or whatever.

Only a matter of time. Now the US has access to homebrew.
 
You people want a solution, these people worked hard on it, and you're too fucking lazy to swap out a memory stick? Good lord, you're incredulous!
 
Very weak (might as well just buy a GBA with the cash a memory stick will run me), but at least it's a nice step in the right direction

Out of all the Emu's I've tested, the SNES one doesn't seem to work. I get what you get. All the others work with it, try testing it with another.

As for timing, I wait until after the little swish and chime, on the white PSP screen. Works fine swapping it there. Doesn't have to be super quick either.
 
As I said in the other thread:

Yeah it was the emulator that was the problem, I just got it to work with a homebrew tetris program :D
 
From the man, killer-x:

El de SNES y algunos fallan por el programa, tiene algun bug.
Estad atentos a nuestro site. En no mucho sacaremos update. Gracias
Click to expand...

The SNES and some other progs won't work, there is a bug in the program. Stay tuned to our site. We will soon release an update.
 
I managed to kill my memstick. but I think I did that on the pc. I use a memstick converter and ejecting it doesnt seem to work. and I also got that psp turns it self off after a while.. tried three times until I killed the stick.. music, movies, photos all gone :lol
