[wraggster]

News/release from spike_132000 (http://forums.qj.net/psp-development-forum/162203-release-repoprep-pspinstaller-v2.html)


Hey Guys, here are the files needed to make your own REPO for use with PSPInstaller!!!

http://in.rsparrow.co.uk/REPOPrep_for_PSPInstallerV2.rar

If anyone is having problems please tell me And I am here to help!

I created a new topic for this because the REPOPrep and Installer are two totally diffrent things and so I can support for both of them.


Code:
Repo Installation Guide
-----------------------

1) Upload All these files to your Server

2) open REPO.LUA and modify the $directory_to_repo$ to lead to the folder containing the repo folder.

eg :

"http://www.domain.com/pspfiles/"

not

"http://www.domain.com/pspfiles/repo"


3) Add your list of ZIP files to the list including NAME, DESCRIPTION and FILENAME including .ZIP extension
All Repo's must have 1 game, 1 app, 1 theme and 1 other (At this moment in time).

Name and Description can be any characters and may include one \n.
Name could include Author of program and version made for.

ZIP file must contain, NO SPACES or NO DOTS, any required spaces should be replaced with _. The only .
that should be in the filename is the one for .ZIP .
Do not include the G, A, O or T folder names in these.

Remember to change the "XXX_list_max = x" to show how many games, apps, theme's and other you have.

4) Save your REPO.LUA

5) Rename REPO.LUA to something UNIQUE to your server. Ie, Meqsoft's Repo is called MEQSOFT.LUA. Make sure it's in Capital Letters

6) Send the link to your REPO.LUA file to mail{~@~}rsparrow.co.uk and put PSPInstaller REPO in the subject line.

If you are having any problems with your Repo System please email mail{~@~}rsparrow.co.uk.

Thanks for adding to the PSPInstaller Network :D


Adding ZIP files to your REPO
-----------------------------

When PSPInstaller download's a ZIP file. It will treat the ZIP file like the ROOT of the memory stick and will
extract the contents of the ZIP to the ROOT of the memory stick.

If your installing something to the game folder. Your ZIP file must be as follows

FILE1.ZIP
+ PSP
+ GAME
+ MYGAME%
+ MYGAME

Basically, your zip file should contain a PSP Folder, in that folder should be a GAME Folder, and in that one should
be the actual GAME folders, within them being the EBOOT.PBP's and whatever other files.

PSPInstaller will not install games and applications properley if they are not structured properly in the ZIP.
A FILE1.ZIP file has been included with this package. with just a PSP and GAME folder so you get the idea.

Thanks
