Running Emulation and Homebrew FAQ

[Kaiser]

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.

Excellent first post FenixFreeze we need more people like you.


~UPDATE~
New Eboot loader v0.9. Updated 2.0 section plus some more points added

MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS

Alright as soon as that Genesis guide comes in the guide will be done. At least until the next exploit/hack comes around to blow the doors more open for PSP coders.

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.

Alright I'm eagerly awaiting your next guide

I'd also like to restate something I said a while back in this thread. Feel free people to contact me to throw a link in here for your own explanations. Since this thread is updated on a regular basis and stickied now your guide won't be lost to time. You don't need to post the guide in the this thread it self but if you have a decent FAQ or guide for some PSP homebrew utility or emulator just say the word and I'll set up a section and a link here.

Yes, for some reason once Im done doing everything I try and load the game. ANd it jsut goes to the PSP logo thing, then to a black screen then back to "home". SYaing "the game could not be started". I am used kxpolit if that makes any difference.

Well it should work, Are you sure your PSP is 1.5 and what program are you trying to load?

[coop73]

I have a question, I just got my psp and it is running 2.5 is there anything I can do to run emulators?

Not at this moment, but Fanjita is planning to release an eboot loader that takes advantage of the GTA: Liberty City Stories exploit.
