Running Emulation and Homebrew FAQ
By Kaiser
---------------------------------------------------------------
*All dates in dd/mm/yy format*

Okay then after numerous threads started on the same thing I have decided to make a faq of my own. Hope it helps stop those damn threads. I tried to number them in importance and by how much they are asked. I made it as simple as I could without pictures for dial-up users.
------------------------------------------------------------------

1.What firmware versions can currently run homebrew and emulators?

At this point in time only 1.0 and 1.5 can run full scale homebrew. However major strides on version 2.0 have gotten a lot of programs to work now through the Fanjita's eboot loader
~24/12/05~

2. How do I know which firmware version I have?

Turn on your PSP without a UMD in it and then go to settings. Then go down to where it says System settings and hit X. Then go down until you reach system information and hit X. It should come up with information about your MAC Address, System Software and your chosen Nickname. If the system software comes up as either 1.0 or 1.5 you are in luck and prepare for lots of fun. If you have v1.51,v1.52 or 2.0 you'll have to do a little more work but you can still play homebrew and/or emulators eventually

3.What equipment do I need to get homebrew on to PSP?

Well your going to need either a flash memory card duo reader or a USB cord. I reccomend the USb cord for its simplicity.

4. I got everything plugged in what next for my 1.5?

Okay you need to put everything in this directory. /PSP/GAME/
The PSP folder should be in your root folder of your Memory Stick. On windows Xp your PSP memory card will come up as a removable device. Just look for it via My Computer.

A) The first way is to Use either Kxploit or something a long the lines of SEI PSP tool. These tools are simple to use and some of these automatic programs allow you to edit icons and/or hide corrupted data from your PSP's menu. I don't have either on my computer at this moment so Just go on to google and search them. If you have trouble with these programs just PM me and I will try to help you, however try everything before you PM and do it as a last resort only. Otherwise I'll be swamped by everyone needing help.

B)The "harder" and manual way of doing this is to name the folders by yourself. Say you want to get Sougens excellent PSP Genesis on your PSP you'd copy all appropiate art files and the EBOOT.PBP. Now create a folder Called Genesis in the /PSP/GAME/ directory. Now paste those files into that folder. After that place a "Roms" folder inside that and put your corresponding roms inside that. Now go back to the /PSP/GAME/ directory and create a new folder named Genesis%. this folder will act as a dummy folder which will launch your emulator copy the ebbot and place it in there as well. For all homebrew you will be required to make a dummy folder with a % sign at the end of it. You need to place the EBOOT.PBP file in it but you dont need any others.

5. What about my 1.0?

Simply throw Emulators in there own folder in the /PSP/GAME/ directory. Easy as that.

6. Where do I get roms?

Never ask this on these forums. Simply find out on your own. You should now how to "search" these things by now. My car seems to need a new "engine".

7. I stupidly upgraded. Are you sure there are no emulators or homebrew for 1.5x and/or 2.0?

There is two options being a 1.5x/2.0 user.

A)Downgrade to 1.5. Check this thread here. (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11365&page=1)

B)You can use Fanjita's eboot loader. this thing is great and runs approximately 85% of the available homebrew and emulators. Click here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=51605&postcount=3) to open up my eboot loader section or you can just scroll down to post number three.

8. I can't get X rom to work please help me.

If that version of the rom doesn't work try another. Many roms out there are corrupted and don't work. Sometimes in rare cases a Rom version doesn't work for that emulator, again trying another version of that same game may work.

9. When/Will X emu come out?

The most powerful console I can see working on a PSP is a Nintendo 64. Even then a full speed one that runs commercial games with ease will never happen. Stop asking and maybe you can get into it and contribute yourself. I myself have started making simple programs on the PC and am slowly learning the make up of emulators. It takes a lot of work and practice to get into it. I suggest starting on something simple.

and of course the latest version of each emulator is best.

Emulators with custom graphics and music have become common now. Check them out there great. A tip though most only work if your not hiding the corrupted files. This means no 19 space and ~ trick. Just put them in with a % on the dummy.

ELOADER v0.95

Eboot Loader v0.95 for PSP allows unsign code to be ran on the v2.0 PSP's. This does not allow all eboots to be loaded but Fanjita being the PSP god he is, has managed to make more and more eboots run on this thing. The eboots are of course the emulators and homebrew files.

Eloader for 2.0 can be found here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=88670&postcount=1)

Okay here is a portion of the readme which Fanjita provided with his latest release. Its well written so you shouldn't have any problems after looking throught this. However if your still having problems feel free to ask away on this thread.

_____________________________________________

Official Forum: http://forums.qj.net/forumdisplay.php?f=187

(based on excellent groundwork by Saotome)

NOTE : THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS YOU TO RUN HOMEBREW EBOOTs ON YOUR v2.0+ PSP.
IT CANNOT LOAD EBOOT.PBPs THAT CONTAIN FIRMWARE UPDATES.

Major new working EBOOTs:
- PSP-GBA emulator
- Many many many for GTA users.

To install:
-----------

The recommended way to install is to use the new installer for Windows-based PCs. This is
'eloader095.exe'. Just connect your PSP to the PC, then double-click this file, and follow
the instructions to install the loader to your memory stick. Note that this will overwrite
any existing copy of the eLoader 0.95 beta release, but will not interfere with any other
version of the EBOOT Loader.

Alternatively, if you don't have a Windows PC, you can extract the files from the eLoader095.zip
package manually:

- Extract all the files into the root folder (e.g. "F:\") of your memory
stick. You need these files to be in the right place:
\l_095.bin
\tsr_095.bin
\a_095.bin

Installing Homebrew:
--------------------

- Copy the homebrew you want to run to your memory stick. Usually, this
means unzipping a directory that contains an EBOOT.PBP file to somewhere
under \PSP\GAME\. The exact location and folder name usually doesn't matter,
but for best compatibility you should try to use the same names as
originally shown in the homebrew ZIP file.

If the instructions with the homebrew contain separate steps for v1.0 and
v1.5 firmwares, then usually you'll get best results by following the
v1.0 instructions.

NOTE: If the homebrew is written in LUA, you need to copy it to a subdirectory
under the your LUA Player "APPLICATIONS" folder.

The method for running eLoader itself depends on which version of the PSP firmware you have
installed. Refer to the appropriate section below:

Running eLoader : v2.0 PSPs
---------------------------

- Make sure you have a custom wallpaper set. Any image will do.

- Use the PSP's built-in photo viewer to open the "EBOOT loader 09" folder,
this will cause the loader to start. If your PSP hangs at this point,
then try the following:
- check your firmware version. This loader is for v2.0 ONLY.
- check that you have the loader files in the correct place (see above)
- turn your PSP completely off, then back on again. The loader works
best on a freshly-rebooted PSP.
- try setting a custom background - some people have reported that it
works better if you use a custom wallpaper (any image).
- try 'touching' the TIF image file : see 'fixing up the file times'
below.

Running eLoader : v2.01+ PSPs
-----------------------------

- Load up the GTA game from the UMD.

- Open the menu with 'START', then select 'Load Game'.

- Select the eLoader icon from the list of saved games. Confirm that you want to discard current
progress.

- The eLoader should start after a few seconds.

Using eLoader's default menu:
-----------------------------

- The loader displays a list of files in \PSP\GAME. Use the up and down
buttons to change the current selection (highlighted in red), and X to
open an EBOOT.PBP file or browse into a folder.

NOTE: To load LUA applications, you need to run LUA Player first,
which will launch Lowser and let you browse to open the application.

- Once you select an EBOOT.PBP to load, after a few moments, the loader
will either display an error message, or give you the option to run
the application.

- To exit the application, you need to reboot your PSP.
The loader contains in-built support for rebooting, by holding the
Left Trigger, Right Trigger and START buttons together for 1 second.
If this doesn't work, then you can also reboot by removing the battery,
or holding the power switch for at least 10 seconds.
Note that sometimes after a software reboot, the loader will hang if you
try to run it again. This seems to be much rarer if you enter USB mode
briefly, before running the loader again.

Using multiple versions of EBOOT loader
---------------------------------------

Occasionally, some EBOOTs work better with older versions of the loader.
In v0.9.5, for example, it looks like TerraIncognita is broken, but this works fine on 0.9.
Also, LUA can be very unpredictable, working in some loader versions for some
people, and other versions for others.

From 0.8 onwards, the loader uses version numbers in the filenames, so that
you can run multiple versions side-by-side.

After installing v0.9.5, you can continue to use any previously-installed
versions of the loader, if you have problems with your favourite EBOOTs.

Using the EBOOT loader to run wifi applications (v2.0 PSPs -ONLY-)
------------------------------------------------------------------

Because Wifi applications normally need kernel-mode to operate, you need to use
a special workaround to load them with the EBOOT loader. You need to have
set up a working wifi connection in the usual way before you can use wifi
homebrew - if you can use the v2.0 web browser, then you're set.

- Go to the PHOTO menu on your PSP, open the 'wifibackground.png' file, and
set it as your PSP's wallpaper.

- Completely reboot your PSP, by holding the power button for 10 seconds
until it powers off. Then switch it back on again.

- Go straight to the PHOTO menu, and open the 'Wifi Loader' folder.

- You'll see an image that says 'wifi loader ready', plus another that says
'Corrupted Data'. If your PSP hasn't frozen at this point, then the
wifi loader has been successfully started, as a background process.

- Now exit the PHOTO menu, and go all the way to the left, and then the
bottom, to the 'Network Settings' menu.

- Select this menu to get a choice of 'Ad Hoc' or 'Infrastructure'. Choose
'Infrastructure'.

- Select the connection to use. Note that you won't be able to select a
different connection within the homebrew (any change of connection is
ignored by the EBOOT loader), so highlight the appropriate one now.

- Press Triangle for connection options, and select 'Test Connection'

- The wifi light should come on, and your PSP connects to the network.

- Once the statistics for the connection are shown, the connection is
stable and ready to use. Now press and hold LTrigger+RTrigger+SELECT
for a few seconds. The screen will flicker for a moment, and then the
EBOOT loader menu will start.

- Now the EBOOT loader is ready to use, with full wi-fi support.

Using a different menu
----------------------

v0.9.5 of the loader ships with a default menu, loadmenu095.pbp.

You can also download an optional menu, called 'Choice', from this location:

http://www.xart.co.uk/downloads/choice.php

The loader will use the loadmenu095.pbp menu by default. If you want to use
one of the alternatives, then edit the loadmenu095.cfg file (with Notepad, or
any other text editor), and change the following line:

menu=ms0:/psp/eloader/loadmenu095.pbp

or

menu=ms0:/psp/photo/choice/choice.pbp (or wherever you placed Choice, if
it is in a different location).

Troubleshooting
---------------

If you have problems with an individual EBOOT getting to the "Press X to
launch the program" screen, but crashing immediately after, here are a
few things to try:

- Check whether it is already on the list of non-working EBOOTs at www.fanjita.org.
- Make sure you are trying to run it as the first thing you do after a
clean reboot of your PSP
- Use v1.0 EBOOTs in preference to v1.5.
- Make sure that you read any README supplied with the homebrew, and followed
the installation instructions (for v1.0, preferably) carefully.
- Make sure that any support files (e.g. WAV files, graphics files)
contained in the ZIP file are copied into the same place on the memory stick,
relative to the EBOOT file.
- Experiment with the launcher options in the configuration file. (see below)
- Check the forums at pspupdates.com - someone might already have found a
way to make this EBOOT work.
- When starting the EBOOT loader, try pressing the "down" button very quickly
immediately after pressing "X" to open the 'EBOOT loader' photo folder.
This can help the stability of some apps.
- If you see a message during the loading process, saying
"Found suspicious hard path", then this means the loader detected that
the application depends upon being in a specific location on the
memory stick. Usually the path will mention a specific file - try moving the
application folder so that the file is in the place shown.

If you find that one of these steps helps, then please send me details
on what you did to make the EBOOT work - I can build the workarounds
automatically into the next version of the loader.

NOTE: If the EBOOT loader aborted the process before reaching the "press X"
screen, then don't bother trying these steps - there's no way that EBOOT
will currently work, but please remember to send the details of the error
message to me, so that I can attempt to change the code to make it work.

Fixing up the file times:
-------------------------

If you have problems with the PSP freezing as soon as you open the PHOTO
folder, or even if it just starts the EBOOT loader as soon as you open the
PHOTO folder, and you want to be able to view photos normally, then you can
use the enclosed TOUCH.EXE file to help out:

- Copy touch.exe to the \psp\photo\ folder on your memory stick.

- Open a windows command prompt (click "Start", "Run...", and enter "cmd"
in the box that comes up).

- In the command prompt, enter these commands:
> F: (replace 'F' with the drive letter of your memory stick)
> cd "\psp\photo\eboot loader 095"
> ..\touch run_095.tif

Configuration File:
-------------------
v0.8.5 and beyond of the loader support configuration via a file, /psp/eloader/LOADER095.CFG.
See inside the file for basic details on what the various options do. For most
purposes, the defaults should be sufficient.

If you want to try to tweak the options for a specific EBOOT, here are some
pointers:

- Each EBOOT has a special signature that identifies it to the EBOOT loader.
To find out the signature, use the bundled Windows program
"EBOOT_SIGNATURE.EXE". This will tell you the name you need to use for the
config file section header for the EBOOT.

- The following options are the most common ones to change to make a specific
EBOOT work. Often, changing one of these (more-or-less at random) will fix
the more sensitive EBOOTs such as USER_LUA. Try changing these one at a time,
in this order, for best results.

- passparameters : this is the same as the old 'press Square for
alternate parameters' option.
- confirm
- callinit : this is the same as the old 'press L-Trigger' option
- clearscreen
- initbssfull
- initbsspartial

- If you want to suppress screen-spam during loading of a known-good EBOOT,
you can try changing these options. You may find that the EBOOT stops
working after changing an option - if so, just change it back.

- confirm : displays the 'press X to start' menu
- unknownNIDwarning : warns you if some system calls requested by the
EBOOT couldn't be identified.
- patchkernelwarning : warns you if the EBOOT is kernel-mode. For some
EBOOTs, this doesn't matter.
- ignorefixedpath : warns you if the EBOOT contains a suspicious-
looking filename, that implies it might need to be
run from a fixed location on the memory stick.

If you find some new configuration parameters that work well for a specific
EBOOT, please email me at [email protected], or make a post on the EBOOT
loader forums at pspupdates.com.

v2.01-v2.6 eloader for GTA: LCS

Eloader for GTA~Brown Ale (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=88670&postcount=1)

This is a portion of the old readme I edited it for updates

eLoader for GTA beta by Fanjita and Ditlew

Includes code by:
Groepaz
Delyan Kalchev
Edison Carter
Bitmap1

This package allows you to run some standard PSP homebrew on any version of Grand Theft Auto, and PSP firmware version v2.0, v2.01 and v2.5. It's an initial test of the loader, that doesn't support the full range of homebrew, but works well enough for an initial release.

Please note also the new name for the EBOOT Loader - "eLoader".

To install:
===========

Use WinRAR to unpack the contents of this package into the root (topmost) folder on your memory stick. Note that if you have an existing GTA savegame that uses slot 5, then this will be overwritten by the eLoader savegame. You can see which slots you are using by the folder names - ULES00182SX, ULES00151SX or ULUS10041SX : X is the slot number.

To make sure that the eLoader is not auto-started by GTA, you can copy another GTA savegame folder off your memory stick, and then back onto the memory stick now. Now you can copy your homebrew files into subfolders in the /psp/game/ folder.

To use:
=======

Start up GTA as normal. When it has loaded, select "Load Game", select the eLoader savegame and confirm the load as normal. After a short delay, the eLoader menu should appear. Select the homebrew to run using the D-Pad, and the X button. You can select a CPU speed with the L + R shoulder buttons, or press START to restart your PSP.

To return to the menu, you can usually hold the L+R shoulder buttons, then hold START for a few seconds. This doesn't work for every application. The HOME button doesn't work, this is a known problem.

Troubleshooting:
================

One common problem is that sometimes GTA has problems if it auto-loads this savegame at startup. You can avoid this by making sure that the datestamp on the new savedata folders is older than the most recent game that you saved with GTA. This should happen automatically if you use WinRAR to extract the files. If you still have problems with GTA crashing as soon as it starts, then try this:

* Start GTA with no memory stick inserted. You should get a warning, and then start the intro movies.
* Once the intro has finished, either play through the first mission until you can get to a game save point, or just load up an existing save (not the Tetris save).
* Now save your position in a new save slot.

You should then find that GTA autoloads your normal savegame, letting you select the eLoader savegame later.

You might find that removing unused save folders helps. There are 3 versions of the folders in this package, to cover all known versions of the game. You only really need the version appropriate to your copy of the game, which is:
ULES00182S* for German GTA
ULUS10041S* for US GTA
ULES00151S* for all other versions.

Known Working Homebrew:

Good work Kaiser! Your always keeping it real. I made my own FAQ on another site thats one of my favs (not better than this on) check it out below on my signature. It has REALLY GOOD links to get your roms and emulators and it's allowed on this site.

Kaiser

thanks for praise guys and nice guide YSWM.

A few small updates added

F34R

September 11th, 2005, 18:19

This guide is written for users with 1.50 firmware PSP's.

Things I use: (i wont include links to download them, because they come from other sites. I dont think that'd be appropriate.)

1.50 PSP
USB cable for your PSP
SeiPSPTool
NesterJ emulator zip file
Roms

Please have at least the stuff listed above, or its equivalent. Install SeiPSPTool if thats what you plan on using to convert your eboots to 1.50.

Lets get started:

BASIC SETUP

First lets go ahead and connect our PSP to the computer via the USB cable, and put our PSP into USB mode.

Go ahead and extract the contents of the NesterJ zip file into whatever folder you choose. For this guide, I have extracted the zip file into C:/NesterJ/...

Next run SeiPSPTool. Click on EXPORT EBOOT, its the first icon, looks like a green cross. You'll fill in the blanks to the right.

Name = whatever you want, but keep it simple. i.e. NesterJ
PBP File = you'll use the button with the ... on it to navigate to the files you extracted a moment ago. Remember, mine was C:/NesterJ/...
PSP Unit = click the drop arrow and click on your PSP drive. You should have already put your PSP into USB mode earlier per my instructions.
Also check the white box next to "Hide Corrupted image from list"
Click on the "Generate" button. Here is a pic of what it should look like before you press "Generate"

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/9119/nesterj0uu.png

You'll notice that your mem stick activity light starts blinking. Once its stopped, SeiPSPTool will notify you that it has installed the NesterJ emu onto your PSP.

That is it for the basic setup. You can exit SeiPSPTool.

INSTALLING GAMES

With your PSP still in USB mode, open up My Computer (on your PC obviously). Double click on your PSP drive. Open up your /PSP/GAME/ folder and you'll see the two folders you just installed, click on the one without the % sign.

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9030/doubleclick3my.png

Now you want to create two more folders here, see picture below:

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/858/create7io.png

It's pretty obvious what goes in the ROMS folder, you can leave all your games zipped up to save space.

I'll explain the GENIE folder a little more.

The GENIE folder is used for Game Genie cheats. You can simply add a text file into the GENIE folder and load it from the NesterJ menu on your PSP. What I like to do is create folders for each game that I use. Example:
/GENIE/Super Mario Bros./gamegeniecheat.txt (name this text file after the cheat)
So the final look will be like this:
/GENIE/Super Mario Bros./START_WORLD_8.txt

The actual text for your cheat would look like this: (this starts you off in world 8 of Super Mario Brothers)

YSAOPE (put 8 spaces) Start on World 8(1)
YEAOZA (put 8 spaces) Start on World 8(2)
YEAPYA (put 8 spaces) Start on World 8(3)

RUNNING NESTERJ

Lets exit out of USB mode on your PSP and disconnect the USB cable.
Next navigate to your memort stick by pressing the D-Pad 4 times to the right, and all the way down till you highlight the Memory Stick option. Press "X". You'll notice your nice blue icon that has "NesterJ" on it. Press "X" again.

Give the PSP a minute to load. The next screen you see is a black screen with a white box around it. In this box you'll see the following:

..
GENIE/
ROMS/
SAVE/
STATE/

Press down on the D-Pad twice to highlight the ROMS/ folder and press "CIRCLE". You should see a list of all the games that you transferred into your ROMS folder. Just scroll down with the D-pad and press "CIRCLE" to launch the game.

CONFIGURATION

Pressing the LEFT SHOULDER button on the PSP brings up NesterJ's config options. Only change something if you know what you are doing. I'll give you a few tips on how I have mine set up, but other than that, use at your OWN RISK.

Move down to "Graphics Config" and press "CIRCLE". Go to "Screen Size" and press "CIRCLE" twice. This should change from "NORMAL" to "X1.5 [4:2.8333].

Press "X". Move down to "SOUND CONFIG". Press "CIRLCE". Move down to "Sampling Rate" and press "CIRCLE" until you have it set at 44100Hz. Press "X" again.

To change the default button layout navigate to "KEY CONFIG" and press "CIRCLE". I personally have the following: (these are changed from the default, everything not listed here is left alone)

A Button : CROSS
B Button : SQUARE
A Button (Rapid): TRIANGLE
B Button (Rapid): CIRCLE
Battery Life: R (right shoulder)

When you are done, do NOT choose INTIALIZE, that reverts back to default. Select "Return to Main Menu" and press "CIRCLE".

LOADING GAME GENIE CHEATS

Start your game first, at the title screen, enter into the config menu (press LEFT SHOULDER)

Choose "LOAD CHEAT FILE(GAME GENIE)" and press "CIRCLE".
You'll see another screen similar to what you did when you first launched the emulator. Press down to highlight the GENIE/ folder and press "CIRCLE". If you have custom folders, like I do, choose what game you want to load the cheat for. Next just highlight the text file for the cheat listed, and press "CIRCLE".

You'll be brought back to the main config window now, and you'll notice at the very top of the screen it says "Apply Game Genie code(s) Successfully".

Now press down till you have Continue selected, and press "CIRCLE". Now start your game.

SUMMARY

Well, thats pretty much it. If you have any questions please post them here, or email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

SNES9X TYL-0.2c

This guide is written for users with 1.50 firmware PSP's.

Things I use: (Again, I am not including links for the downloads. Please make sure you have the following before going futher.)

1.50 PSP
USB cable for your PSP
SeiPSPTool
Latest SNES9xTYL-0.2c emulator zip file
Roms

Note: In this guide we are only using SeiPSPTool to get rid of the corrupted data icon image.

Lets get started:

BASIC SETUP

First lets go ahead and connect our PSP to the computer via the USB cable, and put our PSP into USB mode.

Go ahead and extract the contents of the SNES9xTYL-0.2c zip file into whatever folder you choose. For this guide, I have extracted the zip file into C:/SNES9xTYL/...

Now you want to copy the proper folders over to your PSP. Navigate to your folder where you extracted the zip contents. You should see this:

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/389/folders6lz.png

We are using 1.50 firmware version, so we want to use the contents of the following:

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/5905/copyall3ln.png

Now, you can close that out. Lets open up My Computer, and go into your PSP's memory stick. We are going to past the two folders into /PSP/GAME/...
So, double-click on the PSP folder, then double-click on the GAME folder. Now press CTRL-V (paste). Now we have the emulator on the PSP. Read on...

You can either close the PSP drive out, or leave it open for later. Doesnt matter. You DO have to leave your PSP in USB mode though.

We are going to do a little cosmetic cleanup, so just follow the instructions below.

Run SeiPSPTool. Click on the Corrupted Icon option on the left. It looks like a torn piece of paper (see pic). Your PSP device should already be listed, if not, connect your PSP to your PC via USB cable and put the PSP into USB mode. Then click the REFRESH button, now choose your PSP drive letter.

Next type in the name of the folder we want to rename. In our example, the folder name is "s9xTYL" (without the quotes). Now click on RENAME. You'll notice your memory stick activity light start blinking. When its done, SeiPSPTool will let you know that the folders have be renamed.

This is what it looks like before clicking "rename":

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7863/hidecorrupt0ao.png

We are done with the basic setup for the emulator, lets move on.

INSTALLING GAMES

With your PSP still in USB mode, open up My Computer (on your PC obviously). Double click on your PSP drive. Open up your /PSP/GAME/ folder and you'll see the two folders you just installed, click on the one without the % sign.

We want to create a new folder. There are two ways to do this:
Click on FILE > New > New Folder
Right-click > New > Folder

Name this new folder : ROMS <------ place all your roms here, leave them zipped.

So your file structure should look like this:
/PSP/GAME/s9TYL-----spaces-------1/ROMS/...

Thats it for installing the games.

RUNNING SNES9x TYL-0.2c

Lets exit out of USB mode on your PSP and disconnect the USB cable.
Next navigate to your memort stick by pressing the D-Pad 4 times to the right, and all the way down till you highlight the Memory Stick option. Press "X". You'll notice your new SNES icon, highlight it and press "X".

Next you'll be greeted with a welcome splash screen. Scroll down to the end of the "readme". I suggest reading the information, as it gives credit to the various people that helped with the project. It also has the information you'll need if you want to donate to their project. Finally, at the bottom, you'll see the basic controls for the emulator. After reading all this, at the bottom, press either "X" or "CIRCLE".

Press down to highlight the ROMS folder we created and press "X". You should see a list of the roms you transferred into your ROMS folder. Press "CIRCLE" to run the selected game.

SNES9x TYL-0.2c CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

After you have started your first game, you can enter into the config menu by tapping the analog nub to the left.

*** WARNING ***
I am not going into detail of all these settings. I will explain what I have changed in the settings, and leave it at that. You use these settings at your own risk, and any other settings you modify.

If a setting is not listed below, I left it alone. Again, these settings are what I have on my PSP.
-------------------
SOUND: ON
FREQUENCY: 44Khz
-------------------
GFX Engine: PSP accel.+accu.Soft
Frameskip: AUTO
Rendering: Zoom 4/3
Render PAL as NTSC: OFF
Smoothing: ON
Speed Limit: ON
Video Sync: OFF
Gamma Correction: 0
-------------------
CPU Clock: 333mhz
Show FPS: OFF
-------------------

These are the settings that I personally use. If you want, you can save the above settings to be the default settings. Press down a few more times until you have highlight the "Save settings as DEFAULT settings" and press "CIRCLE".

You can always change these settings for better performance. All the games I play on it run just fine with the above settings. Remember, change these settings AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SUMMARY

Well, there you have it. If you have any questions please post them here, or email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Might as well announce this here:

I have had a slight "disaster" at my house. My hot water heater developed a leak while my family was away from the home yesterday. For about 5 hours, the tank just poured water like it was a faucet.

Our house was pretty messed up. Flooding is the least of our problems right now. Bare with me on the guides and such, as we get all this mess cleaned up.

September 19th, 2005, 02:44

For doing it the manual way, I think your instructions are just what to do for emulators. What about just games that don't need emulators to run them? I am trying to get DoomPSP to work, and I would really like to do it the manual way rather than through the programs.

Where is the VBA Guide? These dumb questions, again.

BTW, some dumb guy told me that there would be homebrew on 1.5x now.. He must have wrong info, eh?

Kaiser

September 20th, 2005, 04:51

Well VBA is simply not good enough for a guide to be made of it (It should be playable before we make a guide). For Doom just through in all vital files in for example /PSP/GAME/DOOM/ then put only the eboot as a dummy folder in /PSP/GAME/DOOM%/

BTW, some dumb guy told me that there would be homebrew on 1.5x now.. He must have wrong info, eh?

*sigh*

No there wasn't any plans for homebrew for 1.5x. Hackers can't get past the security. There was a downgrader being worked on by WAB and PSP Dev. But thanks to WAB's usual antics it was canned.

By the way F34R how are you holding up with your house? I'm sorry about your problems dude. Don't worry about the guides.

v2.00-v2.60 eloader through 2.0 exploit and GTA: LCS

This is taken from the readme

The recommended way to install is to use the new installer for Windows-based PCs. This is
'eloader095.exe'. Just connect your PSP to the PC, then double-click this file, and follow
the instructions to install the loader to your memory stick. Note that this will overwrite
any existing copy of the eLoader 0.95 beta release, but will not interfere with any other
version of the EBOOT Loader.

Alternatively, if you don't have a Windows PC, you can extract the files from the eLoader095.zip
package manually:

- Extract all the files into the root folder (e.g. "F:\") of your memory
stick. You need these files to be in the right place:
\l_095.bin
\tsr_095.bin
\a_095.bin
\README.TXT
\psp\eloader\loadmenu095.pbp
\psp\eloader\loadmenu.tga

Installing Homebrew:
--------------------

- Copy the homebrew you want to run to your memory stick. Usually, this
means unzipping a directory that contains an EBOOT.PBP file to somewhere
under \PSP\GAME\. The exact location and folder name usually doesn't matter,
but for best compatibility you should try to use the same names as
originally shown in the homebrew ZIP file.

If the instructions with the homebrew contain separate steps for v1.0 and
v1.5 firmwares, then usually you'll get best results by following the
v1.0 instructions.

NOTE: If the homebrew is written in LUA, you need to copy it to a subdirectory
under the your LUA Player "APPLICATIONS" folder.

The method for running eLoader itself depends on which version of the PSP firmware you have
installed. Refer to the appropriate section below:

Running eLoader : v2.0 PSPs
---------------------------

- Make sure you have a custom wallpaper set. Any image will do.

- Use the PSP's built-in photo viewer to open the "EBOOT loader 09" folder,
this will cause the loader to start. If your PSP hangs at this point,
then try the following:
- check your firmware version. This loader is for v2.0 ONLY.
- check that you have the loader files in the correct place (see above)
- turn your PSP completely off, then back on again. The loader works
best on a freshly-rebooted PSP.
- try setting a custom background - some people have reported that it
works better if you use a custom wallpaper (any image).
- try 'touching' the TIF image file : see 'fixing up the file times'
below.

Running eLoader : v2.01+ PSPs
-----------------------------

- Load up the GTA game from the UMD.

- Open the menu with 'START', then select 'Load Game'.

- Select the eLoader icon from the list of saved games. Confirm that you want to discard current
progress.

- The eLoader should start after a few seconds.

Using eLoader's default menu:
-----------------------------

- The loader displays a list of files in \PSP\GAME. Use the up and down
buttons to change the current selection (highlighted in red), and X to
open an EBOOT.PBP file or browse into a folder.

NOTE: To load LUA applications, you need to run LUA Player first,
which will launch Lowser and let you browse to open the application.

- Once you select an EBOOT.PBP to load, after a few moments, the loader
will either display an error message, or give you the option to run
the application.

- To exit the application, you need to reboot your PSP.
The loader contains in-built support for rebooting, by holding the
Left Trigger, Right Trigger and START buttons together for 1 second.
If this doesn't work, then you can also reboot by removing the battery,
or holding the power switch for at least 10 seconds.
Note that sometimes after a software reboot, the loader will hang if you
try to run it again. This seems to be much rarer if you enter USB mode
briefly, before running the loader again.

Using multiple versions of EBOOT loader
---------------------------------------

Occasionally, some EBOOTs work better with older versions of the loader.
In v0.9.5, for example, it looks like TerraIncognita is broken, but this works fine on 0.9.
Also, LUA can be very unpredictable, working in some loader versions for some
people, and other versions for others.

From 0.8 onwards, the loader uses version numbers in the filenames, so that
you can run multiple versions side-by-side.

After installing v0.9.5, you can continue to use any previously-installed
versions of the loader, if you have problems with your favourite EBOOTs.

PSPMame hasnt been updated in quite some time. You are probably having problems running "XXXX" game, and it IS on the list of games when running PSPMame. The answer is pretty simple. Only a few games on that list actually work. If you have the proper dumps, and it isnt working, then it isnt going to work until PSPMame is updated.

Kaiser,
I too have been gone for a good bit. I have some guides you can add in your FAQ. As soon as they are up, I'll PM you the post links to be added.

Thanks again F34R I put a slot on the first post for your new guide. I might get around to writing a new portion for running homebrew on v2.0. I'm gonna experiment on my friends PSP (v2.0) for awhile as well. Between school and work though I'm pretty thin on time. Even as I type this I should be writing a history essay as its 11:00 a.m. here and I got to get to school in eight hours.

It was never a sticky by the way. Also thanks for clearing out those posts. It gives me more space to work with.

*UPDATE*
I put up an eboot loader section on the third post. Seems dcemu has some bad blood with a particlular site the readme points to.

I don't know if stustaff has had his question answered, but i think i can help him. I have snestyl v.2c and when i first tried to put the roms right into the tyl folder right after extracting etc. What i found to work was to create a subfolder within the tyl folder. I named it ROMS just b/c. when u first open the emulator on the psp, you are given a directory. Make sure it's examining the right folder. if u have created this subfolder, opened it only to find no working roms. I also opened the rom zips and copied the .SMC files into my rom folder. today, all smc files i have played on my ZSNES have worked well on my psp. i hope this helps you, but one good rule of thumb is always search in depth upon the forums.

Righty, this looks as good as any place to start explaining my homebrew troubles, and questions.

First question: Ive heard that several people found the " .tif " file that goes into your photo folder to be a virus, i scanned it and found nothing, is this true?

Second Question: I have my psp tricked into thinking its v 1.00, but when I go to " Update ver 1.50, it says i dont have enough battery life ( I have two notches of life at the moment, and it worked when i updated it from 1.00 to 2.00 when i got it on xmas.

thats about it for now, thanks for any help

1. Do you have Norton as your virus-scanner? It seems that Norton seems to see the .tif extentsion as a very dangourous file. Since it is a file associated with hacking it isen't hard to understand why Norton may scan it as virus. Then again I could be wrong there. At any rate if you download the Eboot loader from Fanjitas site it should be fine as mine wroks fine and no one seems to be having any bricked PSP's from it. Fanjita's site can be found in third post on the first page of this thread.

2. Plug in your PSP to your A/C adapter when executing any update. It should work then.

The new guide will up tonight. I've had a lot of work to do and havent gotten around to re-formatting it for these forums. It is complete, and will be finalized tonight.

As far as the roms using snes9xtyl (latest release), the roms do not have to be uncompressed. They should stay zipped to save space. If you are browsing the proper folder, and can't see the ROMS, exit the emu, restart the psp, and relaunch the emu. That should take care of it. There arent any known bugs that compromise the ability of keeping the roms zipped.

The two main emulators for PC are Snes9x and Zsnes. Znes save states are in .zst format, while the Snes 9x save states are in wierd numbered states. The Snes9x for PSP uses a different save state format. I can't remember the type right off the top of my head. Anyway I don't think there is any format conversion tools out there so you can play your Computer SS' on PSP.

Huge updates added, expect more emulator guides for systems such Neo Geo Cd including on how to change the ISO so it can be ran through the emulator. I might make a GBA and some other guides if I got time. All the guides will just got hrough features and how to use the emulators and will not have installation information such as my friend F34R has in his guides.

Edit #1: Removed annoying invisible posts. Thank god for the hard delete option.
Edit #2: Work has started on Neo Geo CD guide. I'm really busy with school and work so its hard to say when it will be up.
