I understand that the homebrew psp arkanoid is only compatible on a 1.0psp, has anyone found a way to get it running on a 1.5?

Sorry if this has been asked already, but all searches came up blanks.

If not, are there any other ways to play any arkanoids on my psp (not found any versions released on the genesis and would prefer to not to have to install more emulators if possible)


Thanks in advance for anyone who can shed any light on this.


current system:

1.5 psp
Custom Firmware
0.46 devhook
DGen
IrShell

well just use PSP BREW .90 to convert it to 1.50 or the SNES Version is very good

did you install it to your PC yet or no. The .exe file will install psp brew to your pc. Then when its installed att the right top corner it tells you to choose an ebbot or PBP. when you choose it then click on the convert to 1.50 on the middle right side of the programe.

Convert PBP (1.50->1.0)

is that the option and if so, where do i put the new eboot file?

surely that converts 1.5 firmware games to work on a 1.0 firmware machine?

i do own a snes and the snes version of the game (both carboot sale bargains), but i love the rotated screen concept for the homebrew release. Still not having any joy, too many options on this pspbrew screen for my tiny mind LOL

i got that game working on my psp its well good

EDIT: i have done the folders for you. just drag them into the PSP/GAME/ folder

P.S. if your using custom firmware (if its a good one) shouldnt you not need to have to folders. In harleygsV2 which i have u can just leave the eboots like it is for 1.00

S34MU5 you are a star, playing it as we speak.

Just for future reference with other homebrew, how did you do it?

Thanks very much :)

Also found a starcraft homebrew game, but not having any luck getting that to work, it loads, and the characters move, but won't interact with anything on the screen. Oh well, glad arkanoid is working, shame the analogue stick doesn't work, but it is really cool to be able to play it on the move.

get a app called sei psp tool.
it exports eboots for 1.0 to 1.5
for 1.5 u probably know u need to folders one with a % one without.
this splits the eboot and does it for you.

cheers matey :), homebrew on the ds is much easier, but i'm getting to grips with my psp and running homebrew on it.
