Help with Homer

[Webb34]

I got Homer's RIN thing and its corrupted when i put it on my PSP. Normally I am really goood with this stuff but today is just one of those days where u wanna kick ur adorable dog for no apperant reason. so can anyone help my tired self?:(

[Video_freak]

you have 1.5 right?
if you do, just put the two folders that came in RIN (like rin and rin%) in the GAME folder inside PSP. if all this is right, then it should run :)

[Webb34]

No i got 3.2 and there is more than 2 folders.and even though i copied them al over it still said corrupted. I am bout to shoot myself. its pissing me off i need like step by step instructions. I wont be home for a while though cause im leaving but if u post them I will love u forever

[Video_freak]

you have firmware version 3.2??? wtf?

[Webb34]

no. I have homer's rin 3.2

[Webb34]

hmmm. ok i think i see somewhat of the prob. i NEED FIRMWIRE

[Video_freak]

i know what the problem is. it isnt kxploited. i'll do it for you then send it to you ;)

[Video_freak]

ok. after you've extracted the zip file, creat a folder called RIN. inside that, put all the folders and files you extracted. once your done, tell me and i'll send you the other RIN% folder through email ;)

[Webb34]

Ok so. I made the file RIN and I put the folder that i extracted (rinv3.2) into it. which should it look like?First or second?

[Video_freak]

put all the files from the second picture in the RIN folder (instead of being in RINv3.2, make those folders be in RIN)

[Webb34]

Ok that is done. Now what? and remember I don't have Firmware or any clue as to where i can get it.

[Video_freak]

to find out your firmware version, go to setting on your psp. then go down to system settings. then go to system information. if it says 1.5, give me your email and i'll send you the kxploit for this to wrk. otherwise, it wont work.

[Webb34]

ok um. It is 2.71. wasnt expecting that.

[Video_freak]

shit. you cant run homebrew on 2.71 yet (except homebrew apps). i should have asked you this in the beginning. it would have saved us both time. sorry :o

[Webb34]

lol.
so is it possible for me to do anything at all?

[Video_freak]

yes flash applications. theyre ok i guess (like calculators and calenders and stuff):

dont ever update though, because they might make downgraders...

[mrpontius]

how do i run this on my 2.6 fm, it doesnt seem to show up on the gta eloader, but it does at the games/memory card.

[Video_freak]

You need to put all the files/folders from the download in one folder called RIN. Then you put that in GAME. If it works for 2.x, then it will show up on eLoader and work. Otherwise, it only works for 1.5...

[mrpontius]

Well it says its suposed to work on any firmware above 2.01, on this site.Ill have another try thanks.

[Video_freak]

kk. report back with relutls ;)

[mrpontius]

i got to the eloader and it said reading then turned off my psp :S

[Video_freak]

hmmm. thats odd. i dont know whats wrong :confused:

[mrpontius]

ill have another go..just incase , you never know ;), do you know of any GBC Emulators that work for firmware 2.6 by any chance? well ones that you kno work

[mrpontius]

Argh, its a no-go, turned PSP off again :(, its strange how i had no problems getting the GBA emulator to work but not a GBC one EDIT: What annoys me more is the fact that the Homers RIN is appearing in the GAME/Memory Card in the PSP menu :confused:

[Video_freak]

you may want to downgrade. do you know if you have a TA-082 motherboard or not?

[mrpontius]

Im not sure, but i got my psp within the first week it came out, i had it pre-ordered, im not sure if that helps, or is there a way to check what motherboard i have?

[Video_freak]

Yes, open your UMD drive and look in the top right corner where you see a little green. If there is writing there, then its a TA-082. If the writing is on the top left corner where you see some green, then its ok.

[mrpontius]

didnt read your post right, yes i can see some yellow numbers on the left top corner

[Video_freak]

if its the left top corner, then your good :) your on 2.6 right?

[mrpontius]

yup

[Video_freak]

then download the easy downgrader.

I must warn you that you will need someone with 1.5 to extract the 1.5 firmware dump for you though...

[mrpontius]

thanks very much, do you have 1.5?

[Video_freak]

the file size is like 30 mb so you'll either need to get a friend to do it with you locally or downloaded it from the wed (illegally :()

[mrpontius]

On the post about the easy downgrader, you say that you dont need the 1.5 dump, was that wrong then?

[mrpontius]

Oh :(, thanks for trying, and helping :)

[mrpontius]

I geuss i just need to find a gbc emulator that will work on 2.6

[Video_freak]

What i mean is that you need to someone to get the 1.5 firmware dump for you (you can only get it on a 1.5)

[Video_freak]

Just downgrade to 1.5 (you can emulate 2.71 using devhook) :)

[mrpontius]

Im pretty sure none of my freinds know about Homebrew let alone what firmware they have ;)

[mrpontius]

I might downgrade when i get bigger memory card

[Video_freak]

ok...i hope it works out then. just dont update whatever you do!

[mrpontius]

Yeah, thanks for everything :)

[Video_freak]

Your welcome man :) We're all brothers and sisters on DCEmu!

[mrpontius]

You say this dump is 30mb ? it seems to be smaller, 9mb :confused:

[Video_freak]

the update eboot is like 9 mb, but the firmware dump is over 25 MB i think

[mrpontius]

Is it ok to mention the URL im at , it has this file "

Filename: 1_50_JP_Firmware_Dump.rar
Size: 9.15MB
Downloads: 8,919

Description:
The 1.50 JP PSP firmware dump. This by no means allows you to upgrade/downgrade to 1.50 - it is strictly for analysis.

That it was it confusing me, it looks like the firmware dump file you are talking about

[Video_freak]

Hm, I guess it is only 9 MB then. thats JAP one though, you may want to find the US one for downgrading.
You wont need this on your memory stick once you have downgraded ;)

[mrpontius]

Right, lets hope i dont brick my psp :D....EDIT: its funny how off topic this has went

[Video_freak]

LOL. this is all to get you running RIN in the end though...

[mrpontius]

That file should be ok, shouldnt it? im just worried cause you said it should be like 25mb

[Video_freak]

I thought it was 25 MB but I was just guessing. I would find the US version though....
I'll find it then send you a PM with the link. ;)

[mrpontius]

Thanks, but i found the US 1 :) 23mb free on memory card should be ok i presume?

[Video_freak]

right when i found it too....:o
i would take everything off my mem stick (format), then put eLoader and the 1.5 firmware dump
(follow the instructions)

[mrpontius]

on the instructions it tells me to delete all the files on the psp root directery, that dont sound right

[Video_freak]

:confused: wtf?

[mrpontius]

and if im using the easy downgrader i dont have to manualy put the dump file on psp, right? this thing seems to do everything by itself

[Video_freak]

I think you should just download the full version of the downgrader which comes with everything ready....

[mrpontius]

and i can find this on this site?

[Video_freak]

No...I'll find you a link and send you a PM ;)

[mrpontius]

Thanks :), i feel terrible for all the time you have gave to help me ..

[Video_freak]

No prob, I do this to help newb's out to get their PSP's to do what they want since now one really helped me when I was a noob :(

[mrpontius]

well maybe when you where a noob they didnt have people like you :P

[Video_freak]

Ya, probably. I was a noob just a couple of months ago still :o

[mrpontius]

Oh

[Video_freak]

i keep finding them, but you need to be a member of the site to download :mad:

[mrpontius]

well i was looking through this easy downgrader without my psp attached and it seems to install the update eboot, and the gta eboot loader, then at the end it tells you to move the downdater folder to your psp root, that pretty much makes sense

[Video_freak]

Ya, but you need the 1.5 person to do something for you, amd since you don't have a 1.5 person near you, you just download it from the web.

[mrpontius]

Yeah i found one on web, it was 9mb only but

[Video_freak]

what site (dont give a URL, just the site..)

[mrpontius]

psp-hacks

[Video_freak]

should work....?

[mrpontius]

i will give it a go

[Video_freak]

kk. report back with results ;)

[mrpontius]

now before i start it using the eloader, i have the unzipped dump file in a new folder called DOWNDATER which is in root folder of psp, is everything set to go?

[Video_freak]

I think....

[mrpontius]

oh no i got a , disc could not read , message, what now?

[Video_freak]

did you put in the GTA UMD?

[mrpontius]

yes, i ran the DOWNDATATEST thing, and the memory card light flashed for a few seconds, like it said it would, then i got disc could not read

[mrpontius]

oh wait, on the post about downgrader it says you might get this message, it says i should take out battery and reboot

[Video_freak]

your sure you GTA UMD isnt patched right?

[mrpontius]

still 2.6, not bricked

[mrpontius]

yes its not patched, i could use it to run some homebrew

[Video_freak]

thats odd. see, i think the 1.5 firmware dump has to be placed in special folders, thats why you should download the full version of the downgrader, which i cant find right now...

[mrpontius]

yes, there also seems to be files missing here from the game/downdater test folder

[mrpontius]

i would probably be faster signing up to one of the sites, dont you think?

[Video_freak]

ya. let me find you that one site i found...

[mrpontius]

got the pm thanks :d

[Video_freak]

your welcome :)

[mrpontius]

this gonna sound dumb but im logged in on that site, at that post and there is no download link :confused: ill have another look on the post

[Video_freak]

ok. it should be there somewhere???

[mrpontius]

the file has been removed i think, a few other people cant download it either, there was one person that described the same problem i had, exact same, then she said "sod it, i just moved some folders and BOOM it worked " too bad she didnt mention what folders -.-

[Video_freak]

crap...that sux. i could do it for you, but i dont really want to upload 10 MB...

[mrpontius]

i might know the thing i did wrong..

[mrpontius]

when i put the dump in the root, do i just put the dump file there, or do i have to make a new folder myself, called DOWNDATER, and put it in that?

[Video_freak]

I've sent you a very good PM ;) :D

[mrpontius]

ROFL! :D ;) Thanks, this must be it, finaly, ill just finish downloading and report back!

[Video_freak]

I Am God!!! :D

[mrpontius]

Yes i liked the title of the pm! Now lets hope no bricking!!

[mrpontius]

w00t omg, thank you so much...god :P :d ;)

[mrpontius]

as you can see, it worked :D, now back to go get RIN working rofl, thank you so much for all your help! hope we can be buds :P

[Video_freak]

We already are man. I'm buds with EVERYONE here on DCEmu ;) Glad it worked.

[mrpontius]

Video, i need an Eboot loader to run the homebrew right? i cant find any, this is a very stressfull day, please have a look at this when you have time.....or if anyone could help

[Video_freak]

You don't need an eLoader for 1.5. :laughs histarically:
You just put the two folders that come with the homebrew (Example and example%) inside GAME and run it straight from the PSP's menu.

[andrew24]
