View Full Version : UMD Loader.

Well I decided I'd make a UMD game loader. From what I understand, its compatibility is pretty much the same as the Genesis UMD Loader. But with 2 major differences.

First of all, it uses a z folder instead of an x folder. Meaning it will not conflict with any existing UMD loaders, or game fixes like the Worms fix.

Also, there is no main interface. When you start the launcher, your game starts, simple as that.

All you have to do is extract the archive to the root of your PSP's memory stick. (The removable disk in my computer.)

I'd like to add it only works on 1.5. And could you please test your own games and post back?

That's impossible because this doesn't write to flash.

So, there is no chance at all of this bricking my PSP, does it just load the flash off the memory stick ?

Wish i could try it for you man but i don't have the game :( but i seriously can't belive street supremcy works! I've tried MPH GAMELOADER and RUMUMD and they both did'nt work with the umd, keep testing guys cos this game loader seems very promising! :P

RapidRaver
May 30th, 2006, 11:17
Yeah but that only works for homebrew PSP's 2.0+
I have a 1.5 psp so is there any cheat devices like edison carters but for 1.5 psp's ?

By the way this loader is good and i'm impressed but the only prob is that when i play GTA: LCS, it crashes after 10 minutes of game play :(

Hmmmmm this issue seems very simmilar with Grand Theft Auto LBS. Well anyway can anyone test if any network support works (really doubt it but couldn't hurt to find out) Also can someone tell me if syphon filter works :)

Well i wish that some one could work on a 2.70 loader or something that is a flash loader eg a program made as a flash that runs on psp that can open a homebrew app that would be brill but i wish there were flash games designed 4 psp coz the psp always sez that there ent enough memory i wish that could be fixed aswell

devhook really removes any problems with crashing
i bought euro socom UMD the other day it requires 2.6
even though devhook is a 2.50 emu it worked perfectly with 0.41d

anyway
i was thinking, couldnt you change the code to launch more of the firmware files, and then put the ones you need for devhook in the x/z folder, that way you can get online and better compatibility, and be able to exit to the 1.50 home menu, rather than needing to do a hard reset

Yes, The Edison Carter cheat device v1.0 does work. Ad Hoc doesn't, but saving and loading completely works

Noice Work

Games that I have that I have tested, and have had work:

*GTA: Liberty City Stories- Requires 2.0,Played for a good 10 min. no freezing, and I hd cheat device loaded
(Start-up Loading time Seemed to Actually go Quicker)

*The Hustle: Detroit Streets- Requires 2.0, Works Great, even though it isn't that good of a game. Can Load and save games

*Twisted Metal: Head On- Requires a Firmware, Can be loaded using the loader.
(This Info. Is Probably Useless)
*Socom, U.S. Navy Seals, F.T.B.- Requires 2.0, Didn't Play Very Long, But the Game Cannot Detect The Memory Card, so obviously that means no saving.
(I had The Same Experience While Using RUN UMD)

*Grip Shift- Requires 1.52, works, loads and saves flawlessly

*Frantix- Requires 1.52, Seems To Work Fine, I didn't Have Any Problems.


This is the one loader out of many that I have Tried, and not had GTA freeze up on me with in the first five minutes. I love it Thank you.

I'll give this a try later once I get to my home PC.

I havent had much joy with devhook, but if this plays my GTA UMD i'll be chuffed (If it also plays my Street fighter Alpha 3 and Monster Hunter I'll been very happy). :)

I'll let u know how it goes once ive tested it.

Gutted, it didnt work for me. I tried GTA and the screen just went blank. :(

Dya think its because ive got the datel 4g hard drive?

Baboon, did you put the 'z' file on the root of your mem stick, or are you even using one. You might want to put it on a 32mb stick( if you still have the one that came with your psp)

Baboon
July 7th, 2006, 08:26
Yep, I put the 'z' file on the root but it didnt work, just get a black screen then it turns off after a while. :(

I dont think Ive got my original mem stick that came with my psp anymore, but i'll check later.

I know the datel hard drive isnt that fast, but it defo doesnt work for me with this application (or dev hook), which is a shame.

If anybody wants GTA to work, I am pretty sure you have to either load stunt project, or possibly start a game, and then pause it for a good minute or two. For some reason, it was freezing up on me over the weekend, so give it a try you lazy ****s.

Dirty Crab, try reading the readme file, or if you are to stupid to, then put the 'Z' file on the root of your memory card(that is before you click psp). Then put the files that are under the game folder into the game section.
