Support NeoGAF

[deim0s]

But why are all people thinking that every Mac user wants to buy a Windows license ? It's expensive and I don't need it (I play on consoles/handhelds).

<--- Mac user here and I know our options.

Since you're asking about remotejoy, I just pointed you the most easiest/reliable way to run it - AFAIK, the mac port never ran well.

OTOH, remotejoylite ran way better on CFW (on 5.00 m33), but with the recent HENs I dunno.

Edit: Seems like 5.50 GEN-D3 is boss. I'll go to that.

For those who need a bigger memory stick, I just found a cheaper way to do it. Get a M2 (the card the Go supports) and use a MS Pro Duo adapter.

A 16GB Memory Stick Pro Duo runs about $50 on Amazon

A 16GB M2 stick with the Pro Duo adapter costs $29.50 ($28 for the card, $1.50 for the adapter

Its a cheap way to get a 16GB card.

You can also get a microsdhc adapter and a couple of 16gb microsdhc cards for around $60 and have 32GB of space.

Better to use a VM or Bootcamp and run the windows binary.

I've seen a RemoteJoyLite modded to work on 6.35HEN somewhere.

[edit] try this: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=352162

Tried this on 6.35 PRO. It outputs video just fine but the controls on the keyboard don't seem to register. Also connected my DS3 controller but it still doesn't seem to work.

I bought a psp go and loaded HEN tn-C with firmware 6.20.

Then I loaded promethus 0.1 to play my iso's.


Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to play snes or PS1 games? I'm totally new to psp and am wondering if theres any other cool things to do with it.

Can anyone link to a good forum for things like this where I can research and read on my own?

I don't know much about the SNES emulators, but the PSP GO, at this point, cannot play any ripped PS1 games. It can only play PS1 games that have been released on PSN. If you want to play ripped PS1 games, you still need a normal PSP.

The next version of TN-HEN is supposedly going to provide Popsloader support for PS1 Emulation. Honestly, I come running in every time this thread gets bumped, hoping it's been released.

Yes I cannot wait for this to be released. I will finally be able to put my PSP-2000 away for good except for UMD ripping.

 

[MYE]

I was thinking about doing the whole custom firmware thing to play my PSone games on it but JESUS FUCK WHAT THE HELL AT THAT OP!!!!!!

Seems like alot of trouble and way too many oportunities to fuck up big time.

 

[asdad123]

This might not be the best place to ask, but more people will probably be interested in this here than the BST thread.

If anyone wants PSPgo Component Cables (Third party) and a crystal clear hard case for the front and back, send me a PM. Both never used.

Id just like some money to cover the shipping. I have no use for em since my PSP was broken and went back to the store.

edit: Both Gone.

What exact kind of screw driver do I need to open a PSP-1000?

I need to open one I have to fix a broken WiFi switch. And the screw driver I've tried to use wants to strip the screws.

So I need help please.

Wait a few weeks and you should be able to do it totally safely through just one file (and on the Go).

And the ripping process itself really isn't hard. Just a case of copying the CD, downloading a program and setting it up to spit out a game.

 

[syoaran]

Everything worked perfectly, took two days to finally put everything onto my PC from my old 1000 and now I'm sitting comfortably with Persona3 and Final Mix ^^.

Two questions:
I couldn't get either Valkyria 2 or 3 to work because they failed to read the internal HD on the pspgo, insisting I needed to save to memory card. Any way to fix this, or do I need to go out and grab a 2gig card for a few pounds?

Finally, after finally porting MHP3 over I'm playing monster hunter for the first time. I know theres a lot of cool DLC out there, I wondering how I get it and if i'm at risk by using cfw/promethus while doing it.

 

[D-Pad]

Does GoTube not work on a PSP 3001 with 6.35 PRO? Can't connect to internet... Anything like it that does work?

 

[Ronabo]

I said fuck it and ended up ripping off the rest of the broken switch and shoved a plastic toothpick up the hole and was able to switch back on the WiFi. So fuck yeah I MacGyvered it.

 

[Arren]

I can't seem to get Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded (european version) to work on my PSPGo with 6.20 TN-C and Prometheus 0.1.

The game does load its main menu, but when I select any of the individual titles there comprised, it remains stuck on the 'Now Loading' screen and then the system shuts down completely.

Any workaround for this issue? Thanks in advance.

 

[Anony]

gotube is a broken and old, obsolete piece of software that will NEVER be updated (such that it fixes broken flash playback) again

the dev that originally worked on it (called psptube) abandoned it, and did not release any documentation of his code, hence no code, hence cannot be updated meaningfully

it's a shame, psptube was probably one of the best pieces of software on the psp, i was using it all the time streaming stuff from youtube and megavideo to watch stuff in the bed before i sleep when it was working correctly

 

[Graphics Horse]

Gotube 1.2 seems to work on Youtube, not sure about the other sites. It will hang now and again though. On a PSP 3003 with Official 6.20 and signed HBL here. There are codec problems which cause some vids to run with broken colours, not sure if it was that was always a problem.

No risk, it´s through the game itself.

If it's like the 360, you probably need a Torx set of screwdriv--

So, anyone tested the new plugin named PSP 3D Plugin?

It makes some games to show in red/cyan anaglyph 3D and you can also change the colors to match your 3d glasses, althoug only 3 options are available, red / blue, green / purple and yellow / blue.

The compatibility is not much, too bad I dont have any of those 3d glasses to test this.

Does it works?

Hopefully we can still use different versions of Popsloader to ensure maximum compatibility. The Final Fantasy games got kinda fucked after 3.72.

Hi.

I just have a quick question, probably you talked about it several times but I won't read 200+ pages of thread...

Anyway, it's clear and simple: is there a way to put a custom firmware on a PSP Go. If yes how, if no ok.

Thanks!

Great. I hope all of this stuff eventually gets upgraded to 6.35+ so I don't have to worry about running Tactics Ogre or the other 2011 PSP releases.

Most of these compliation discs don't work right at this time.

I bought the Midway classics game and it won't run either, hangs when you select a game as well.

Must be some bug in the iso loader when the game tries to boot the emulator program.

Bought Rachet and Clank size matters and that one doesn't boot either. Shame.

no custom firmware at this time - PSPgo is using homebrew enablers which allow homebrew and iso loaders and such to be run on the system. It doesn't technically modify the firmware, only until the unit is shut off. But with sleep mode you don't really ever need to turn it off.

Plus re-enabling it is a simple 10 second process now with the signed Homebrew Enabler.

 

[SenkiDala]

Thanks for your answer. I'll search more about that (if there is good websites, let me know).

Aw... Thanks. The app will load, but it will fail each time I connect to the internet (yet I can connect to add repositories just fine). BLARGH! I really wanted this to work.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Here is a guide detailing how to get custom firmware up and running on PSP Go (and pretty much any other model actually).


Preface for those who do not know:

HEN is what can be described as "temporary" custom firmware. It is capable of doing most of what a "full" custom firmware can, but is far easier to install. The only main drawback is that HEN will cease to work if the PSP is powered off completely. However, the sleep functionality of the PSP still works completely, so that can be used instead if you cannot bear the 15 seconds it takes to re-enable!


What is needed for HEN:

- if you are on 6.20 firmware, this file
- if you are on 6.31 firmware, this file
- if you are on 6.35 firmware, this file
- if you are on 6.36 firmware, this file
- a PSP and a USB cable (derp)

Installation instructions:

1. Download the above file which is appropriate for your firmware
2. Extract and copy the HEN folder into the PSP > GAME folder on your PSP
3. Run the HEN software on your PSP (you will get a black screen momentarily then get booted back to the XMB)

You must run it every time you want to enable HEN, so only use the sleep mode to avoid the (minimal) hassle.

Downgrading to 6.20:

6.20 is the main firmware that the author of this HEN develops for. It's the one that gets all the best and widest scene support. Therefore, if you are on 6.31/6.35 firmware, I highly recommend downgrading back to 6.20. It is a painless and easy process, see here:

http://lolhax.org/2011/01/24/6-35-and-6-31-downgrader/


What custom firmware offers:

1. Ability to run your own ripped UMDs as ISO files.

The best program to do this is ISO Tool.

- First, simply create a folder called 'ISO' on the root of your PSP's memory stick or flash storage and dump your ISO/CSO files in there. This step is needed for all ISO loaders to work.
- Now download ISO Tool and extract the PSP > GAME folder to the same folder on your PSP.
- Run ISO Tool on your PSP. Select any ISO on the list and elect to turn it into an EBOOT on the XMB.
- Quit back to the XMB and your game should be there and fully launchable.


ISO Tool is the best as the majority of games can be launched from XMB this way. The only minor downside i've found is that it doesn't play too nicely with the Game Categories plugin.

Alternatively you may load ISOs with Prometheus ISO loader v0.2, which is a simple GUI based loader which has excellent compatibility.

Additionally, here is a neat program called UMD Gen that can compress ISOs to CSOs. Some games can experience slower loading and other problems as a result though, so it's best to keep things like GTA, Ridge Racer and MotorStorm uncompressed. Simply select save as > ISO.


2. Homebrew and emulators. Pretty self explanatory, and i'm going to direct you to brain_stew's glorious thread because he said it better and to ensure highest compatibility. Basically you can have all Game Boys, a NES, SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, C64 etc. all in one device.


3. CXMB. This is a nifty plugin + software combo that allows you to install some pretty awesome CTF themes such as these:

This only works on 6.20 HEN. You also need to use CTF themes made for/ported to 6.20, otherwise they won't work. Luckily everything worth having is now available in 6.20 form.


4. PS1 support *coming soon in 6.20 TN-D!*


5. Output your PSP picture to a PC monitor using RemoteJoy.


6. The little things like being able to use the fourth brightness level even while unplugged, overclock the CPU to 333MHz in all games, USB charge all the time (even when not in USB mode), take screenshots, and sort your games into categories using the Game Categories Light v1.1 plugin.


Fucking Plugins, how do they work?:

Plugins are .prx files that allow your PSP to do specialised tasks. Things like CXMB, RemoteJoy and the Open Idea Loader all use plugins to do what they do. To use these, do the following:

1. First, create a folder on the root of your memory stick or flash storage called "SEPLUGINS"
2. Put the .prx files in this folder
3. Within that folder also create a basic text file called vsh.txt

Say I wanted to get my "screenshot.prx" working, I would type this in vsh.txt:

ms0:/seplugins/screenshot.prx 1

- or -

ef0:/seplugins/screenshot.prx 1


Basically if on a regular PSP, use the ms0 line, and on the Go use the ef0 line. The 1 at the end signifies that it is enabled (a 0 = disabled).

4. Finally save this vsh.txt file when you are done and restart the VSH menu.

(press select on XMB, looks like this)

Check here for a list of compatible plugins.



This should hopefully be a helpful guide for everyone wanting to get HEN up and running on the Go.

.. and one more thing: don't fucking touch anything to do with flash0 or update to 6.37!!!

 

[Neverfade]

This is probably redundant but I can't find the answer and my brain is fried.

I have a 3001 on 6.0 OFW. What the hell can I do with it?

Goals: Play backups and have a GBA Emulator. SNES one would be nice, too.

Edit: above post might have just answered my question...

[Oyashiro]

Between the two iso loaders, how good would you guys say the compatibility is for games? I just purchased a "Like New" white PSP Go on Amazon (came with 2 cases, the PSP, manual, cables, 70 bucks worth of games and 20 bucks still on the account!) for 110 bucks, which I think is an awesome deal. Gonna replace my old PSP 2000 and I'm just wondering if Im gonna have any problems, especially with future games.

All the compatibility lists i've seen confirm that it should work.

 

[Basileus777]

I'm currently running Gen D3 on my PSP 2000. What do I need to play the latest games? Should I update to Prometheus-4 or use an ISO loader? All the 6.xx Hen talk has made me a bit unsure what I need.

that guide is assuming 6.20. for 6.35 some basic plugins work but they should be in plugins not seplugins (edit: apparently cxmb works now). also running iso from xmb isn't a problem with anything anymore after the new version of iso_tool which creates icons for iso (no need at all for an iso loading module). custom ps1 eboot don't work in 6.35 either but psn version of psx games do
