Stability patch for Brown Ale

[wraggster]

Fanjita has released a patch for the Eloader homebrew loader, heres the info:

There have been a few irritating bugs found in the Brown Ale release, that were simple to fix, so we produced a patch. We recommend that anyone who has downloaded the release should download this new version and reinstall it. The original files on this site have been replaced with the new ones. You can verify whether you have the patch installed by looking at the text on the menu : the patch says clearly that it is a patch. Here are the changes:
No more 'corrupted data' icons in the save games folder - the backup savegame information is now saved in /psp/eloader.
Corrected config file path
Various TIFF loader stability fixes
Removed most crashes with L+R+START
Replaced the beta icons
Improved editability of file paths.

I was having a lot of difficulty with the inital release of Brown Ale. I use the 2.00 TIFF version. I reverted back to eLoader 0.9 because of it. To see that Fanjita has acknowledged the problems people were having and come up with a patch so quickly is really generous. I am continually impressed with Fanjita & Ditlew (http://www.fanjita.org). Not only are people with 2.50 & 2.60 firmware now able to take advantage of homebrew but he has not forgotten the 2.00 users like myself.

I religiously visit Fanjita's (http://www.fanjita.org) website and click on every single google ad on a daily basis. I will also be donating some via PayPal (http://www.paypal.com). I hope everyone else starts doing this also if they don't already.

Please, everyone report any problems or bugs experienced in hopes that it can be addressed sooner.

Great work Fanjita & Ditlew - Thanks much!

ill download it anyway but i havent had any problems with the E-loader "Brown Ale"

Kool! cant wait 2 play more homebrew lol

Had a chance to play with this some more. Definitely works better although unfortunately Zelurkers latest Neo Geo CD 0.9.1 EMU still won't load. Also, Hue 0.60Beta still freezes when trying to exit from GUI. RIN now exits without freezing but the irritating "buzzing" sound is still prevalent upon initial load.

snes9xTYL0.2c seem to crash fairly frequently with this, never had a problem like this with the last release.

I don't mean to be rude and I think you guys are awsome to do all this stuff, but I haven't been able to play any games on the gba emus and it says that it is supposed to be able to play them

[hockey2112]

Redemonruler, I have not been able to get any of them working on my 2.0 either.

To anyone who has been able to get a GBA emu working on 2.0 with this eloader... can you please write up a really quick how-to, including the emu and version that you used, the directories to which you installed it, and how you have the roms installed as well? Thanks for any help.

BTW, great work, Fanjita. We all appreciate everything you do. Please keep it up!

iv loaded it all up but it wont even start grand theft auto im running 2.6 is this the problem

[x-zero]

deano123 the first thing that you should do is to extract the eloader095 get win installer patch version.you can find it in Fanjita's home site after that you should be ready.ok now link up your psp to the usb cable.win installer will install the eloader now remember if you are running 2.6 for another words depended on which GTA version you are using.i hope this can help you.

[samthegreat68]

if I use this for 2.00 and I update to a higher version like 2.6 will this in any way affect my psp besides the fact that I can no longer use homebrews? thanks.

[x-zero]

No use the Tiff format if you are using a 2.00 psp.they are in the same packaged with the GTA eloader.

i have ver 2.5 and i cant get GTA to load what do i have to do

[acn010]

i dont have any idea what the hell is happenning.

[vettacossx]

get the pspgba v 1.1 it will work on 2.0 the download is called pspgba 1025 ive used it on 2.0 psp

[vettacossx]

a thought for the higher powers that be....what if...you make a pspsetx program for 2.6 eloader ok...then..set your psp for 1.0 so it tricks the firmware right..you will notice that when you put in gta you have the option to update to 2.0 there fore downgrading your 2.6 to 2.0 with an update... id love to see pspsetx work for gta eloader brown ale..please fanjita we need your help

Sorry wont work wen a game is loaded it disables the flash which is needed for this process so if there is ever a downgrader for 2.01+ it would not be through the gta exploit

[bobcobb]

Should I upgrade to 2.6? Is Brown Ale worth it? I currently have a 2.0 PSP, and I just recieved a nifty copy of GoC and it requires 2.6. Thankgod I will still have homebrew, but how is the quality compared to 2.0?

[hockey2112]

get the pspgba v 1.1 it will work on 2.0 the download is called pspgba 1025 ive used it on 2.0 psp

Are you using the GTA method? I do not have GTA, and am using the TIFF method, and cannot get a GBA emu to work.

Any word on the addition of this functionality in future releases of the eloader?

With the utmost respect to the no doubt talented coders of these hacks I have to say "Brown Ale" doesnt seem to be doing it's job for the majority. I'm on version 2.60, wishing to play final fantasy ROMs on my psp, to my dissapointment the fact that I've updated has made this 10x more difficult that it would have originally been. This "new way" of still being able to bypass the fixes Sony' has made sounded good but there's obviously a few minor bugs still in there. I'm one of the 7 people I've seen post up to now posting the same problem yet we're getting no technical advice whatsoever.

Can I make a suggestion to Admins/Authors of these hacks, please test them before making them public, up to now the most they've done is crash my psp but I can see it going somewhat further.

To once again post the same problem as has been posted numerous times before, I've followed instructions to the T using version 2.60, I've then inserted GTA and it's automatically loaded the eboot file before anyother, I am assuming this is the problem? Twas my understanding that you had to load the game normally first *then* load brown ale, due to what i can only assume is a bug GTA is loading brown ale FIRST as oppose to loading a normal/standard game save.

I'm no expert ofc but it'd certainly explain why people who havnt played or made a save of GTA yet might be encountering difficulties.
