ydcl Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi all, I downloaded custom firmware for my psp 3000, CFW. I put the SNES emu and roms there, but it comes out as corrupted files. Can someone instruct me on how to do it? The custom firmware seems to be running fine. Thanks, Yan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptenmaterial Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I went through this whole song and dance a few months ago. My best advice to you would be to make copies of the emu and roms and put folders in both GAME and GAME 150. Also gbatemp.net has some great tutorials.

Tr3vor Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wouldn't run SNES emulators on the PSP. For some reason I've never found a nearly perfect SNES emulator, they all run at like 50%-70% speed, and that drives me nuts. I don't understand, because they can emulate a GBA and Genesis almost perfectly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydcl Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I gave up on it; I don't want to chance it bricking on me. I will just used it to play classic SNK and stuff that Sony did release on the system. I just bought on amazon SNK classics volume 1. I might buy one of those Chinese things though, they come ready to play emulators and Willgoo,com has a few for $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Did you even try my advice? Your file system on the memory stick could be slightly corrupted causing issues like this. Also, SNES emulation is great on the PSP. Checking your file system on your memory card is pretty much step #1 whether it's a PSP, Dingoo, Android device etc..

I did the system check as you said; it stated no errors were found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Give some details.. don't just say "I put the SNES emu and roms there" because that doesn't tell anybody anything. What folder did you put it in at the very least? What files? Did you follow the advice from the guy above and try running from both the \GAME and \GAME150 folders?

I put it in the PSP-GAME-then left the folder there that had the snes emu, and put 5 roms in the roms folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Have you tried already signed emulators such as these? http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=8386 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) As mentioned, the corrupted files could point to a mem stick problem (especially if you're using a microsd adapter and got a fake in there). I don't think so, though. Has your CFW ever worked on something? When you said you downloaded it, and this may sound silly, but what did you do with it? Also, there are a couple types of custom firmware--generally its chosen by what kind of PSP you have. Some is flashed and always available, others are kind of glitched in and that has to be done manually every time your psp does a full startup. Personally, I don't think you're running CFW and your unmodded psp is seeing the extra files in your folders as junk. When you hold down select for a few seconds at the menu, do you see your CFW settings? If not, there's your problem.

But it was not permanent one. When you shut it down it goes back to sony stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, that link I gave you HERE should have signed SNES emulators that don't need CFW to be enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Okay, but what does "signed emulators mean"? Means for a game or homebrew to be recognized it must be "signed" with a special password. If that password doesn't match it shows up as corrupted garbage instead of a valid application. People found the password and applied it to their own homebrew so it appears to be a legit Sony approved application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I believe there was/is a site called something like "goldendragon." It was a site you could browse to on your psp, and it would actually pull down installers for homebrew right from the system. Much easier than the "RTFM" action of getting things working manually. Click and go. It wasn't uncommon for a homebrew to fail its install, but deleting the package and redownloading seemed to help. It also makes a nice homepage for the psp browser.

My incompetence right now is incredible! I need to figure out how connect my PSP to my wireless router. I dunno if it's WEP or what? I've been connecting it via USB.

ydcl Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Okay, I downloaded the files for GBA plus the GBA_bios file and put them all in PSP-GAME. Put a rom in rom folder. All files still show as corrupted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Got the NES to work. Can the screen get any bigger? Probably. It depends on which NES emulator you are using. You gotta read any instructions that come with. Or, at least play around with the interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
