Shannon Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) Yes ladies and germs the 1st PSP exploit for running homebrews on v1.5 PSP's has come out. Of all things it is a memory stick swap exploit so for those of you wishing to "fumble" with this, have fun. So far the only thing I've tried so far is the Genesis emu which certainly has a way to go. I'm currently loading up my memory stick with other homebrews to see how well they run. Oh and dont bother trying to run the SNES9x emu yet. Apparently it does not work with this exploit. Just my luck it was the first one I tried. Now it's time to give my PSP some lovin'.

cimerians Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Whoa thanks for the update, so far I'm into the flash thing with my GBA but I've been waiting hungrily for some PSP news. I can't wait for MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 In case someone actually missed this release, here is the link... http://www.only4.info/psp-dev/ P.S. Don't get all hot and bothered, it ain't no good for you pirate types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 A friend has my PSP and I don't really feel like downloading anything from that dodgy-looking site. Is there a readme you can quote to tell us how it works? Swap trick, heh. Just like the old PSOne. Pity it's a kludge, but I suspect it will only get better.

Jess Ragan Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 It's too kludgy for my tastes... I'll wait until someone offers a more user-friendly solution. To be honest I was expecting something a bit more practical than this. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 Seems a 2nd version was released to fix some issues it had with certain homebrews (like the SNES9x, MAME, and NeoGeoCD emu) among others. While poking around with the "manual" method of creating these files it looks like they are taking advantage of some "timeout" feature of the PSP that occurs when you switch memory sticks. It "timesout" on the read. This is just a guess on my part though. As far as the mem-stick swapping part it aint so bad... I've actually gotten pretty good at it. Setting up the homebrews to run using this exploit is where the big pain in the neck is. Just a quick run down of emu's I've tried. SMS - sega master system / gamegear emu. No sound and still slow with frameskip DoomPSP - actually runs real nice but the sound is crap and it wont play the Doom1 full wad file. Gameboy emu - No GBA emulation, but the mono and color emulation is nice. This one has got sound! (full speed) Genesis - no sound. slow even with frameskip. InfoNES - Seems full speed, with sound. Does not to seem to have as much support for mappers as NesterJ (see below) MamePSP - one of the most odd versions of MAME I have ever seen. It runs a fair amount of early/mid 80 titles. But the sound is a bit scratchy, it's not full speed (even when CPU is set to 333), and has weird bugs and lock-ups. NeoGeoCD - still have not figured this one out. NesterJ - May have better mapper suppor, but the it's slow and no sound. Snes9x - This one has me confused cause I think a couple versions are floating around. You can get close to full speed if you turn off the stupid auto frameskip. This one has sound. PCE TG16 - This one is nice almost but not quite full speed with sound. Some titles wont run at all. Wonderswan - Have not tried it yet. All -n- all not bad. Compared to the GP32 the GP32 comes out slightly ahead but when you consider these emu's have only been out less than a month I'm sure they will eventually surpass the GP32 emu's. Bad thing about some of these emu's is they still display troubleshooting information while running. Also almost all the emu's are NOT in english, and our pals over there seem to prefer the O button over the X button so the controls are a little wacky.

Jess Ragan Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yeah... in Japan, the O button in Playstation games is used to confirm decisions, while the X button is used to cancel them. It's part of the culture over there... O means "OK" while X means "NO". JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR 875500[/snapback] Yeah the problem with that logic when it comes to emu's is it tends to interfere with the button assignments/placement. But once you get used to it it aint too bad, just odd pressing O and Triangle for fire buttons. When I'm used to X and O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIeric Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 is there new firmware for the psp that if downloaded to the system then the hack wont work anymore ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Yes. They're up to 1.52 now, if memory serves. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 1.51 and 1.52 wont work with the hack and word has it sony is gonna make some UMD games so they will not play unless you upgrade your firmware. Forgot to mention that I found a SMS/GameGear/soon to be colecovision emulator that actually has sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 They're making a PSP port of MEKA? Wow, that's pretty sweet. I love that emulator! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
