PSP Guide Library V2

This guide is on-going and will be constantly updated (at least to the best of my ability). Feel free to ask any PSP related question in this thread.

THE GUIDES CONTAINED ARE FAIRLY OUTDATED AS OF 2011 BUT I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO REBUILD IT -K

I originally created a guide back in August of 2005 called the "Running Homebrew and Emulation FAQ". It went through many changes and over the months evolved into a sort of guide library which spanned dozens of posts. Anywho, this is a new version of it which will contain not only guides by F34R and myself but will contain any guide PSP users here at dcemu want to contribute. My mission is to create the most comprihensive library compiled by multiple users which will cover everything from the most basic homebrew installation to the more advanced coding aspect of this community. Hopefully in due time things will start to pick up. If you want a link in this sticky just post here and ASK

Before you start your way into PSP homebrew goodness your going to want to know what firmware you have. Your firmware is extremely important in determining the method of installing firmware and the amount you can actually run.

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. After you find out what firmware you have I'd reccomend you look through the many great guides the members and coders of DCemu have wrote.

Note: 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. This is only important to 1.5 users who use the KXploit to access homebrew

Plenty more guides coming soon!

What version you 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.

Can I run GTA LCS from my computer? Because I don't have the game UMD and I downloaded gta lcs

Um ... no

1. No PSP emulator for PC can run commercial games
2. Don't be a pirate

I've just downloaded Beats of Rage v0.8, everyone's been saying it works great. I can't get it to play, though, because it keeps saying there is a fixed hard path to psp/game in the code. I saw in one of the other forums that someone else found that problem but fixed it by changing the config settings. Something about ignorefixedpath=Y. Can you tell me what that's all about, and how I can do that to fix this problem?
