SmashPack & Brew Pack Generator for the PSP

Travis Turgeon sent me this email

<blockquote>
I put alot of time into this, its basically a super good version of
SmashGpsp. Here it is:

Overview:
Terdinglage has put together what he calls the SmashPack. It is a
version of SmashGpsp which contains 12 bonus levels he created and 12
of the best custom characters out there. Easily installed by
extracting the .zip to the root directory of your PSP, its a great way
to enhance your SmashGpsp experience. Terdinglage felt the pack could
be put to better use, so he approached PSPBrew.com with turning his
pack into one of Brew's unique Pack Generators. Monkeymaximus, the
site's admin accepted his request, and here's what he had to say.

"Within the next few days, we will be releasing a new version of our
one of a kind Pack Generator - the SmashPack Generator. We'd like to
give special thanks to Terdinglage for developing the levels and
constructing the pack as without him this wouldn't have been possible.
The SmashPack Generator will give you the ability to choose from a
list of all the currently available levels and characters that you
want in your version of SmashGpsp. This allows you to have your own
unique version of the game, with the characters and levels YOU want,
not what the developers want! To top it all off, it will be just as
simple as our original Pack Generator. Just run the auto-extracting
zip and install to the root of your PSP."

Here are the current lists of characters and levels the Generator will have:

Character List:
Chrono, Chun Li, Contra, Coolspot, dante, Forte, Goemon, Gold Elite,
Guile, Harpuia, Inuyasha, Jack, Link, Luigi (original), Majin Yusuke,
Mario (original), Master Chief, Mecha Sonic, Megaman, Megaman Zero,
Metool, Moriya, Pacman, Qwest, Retro Link, Riku, Rockman, Samurai
Jack, Samus, Shadow, Sonic, Sora, Tails, Trunks, Wolverine, Zero.

Level List:
Bowser's Dungeon, Dark Citadel, Deathstar, Mario World, Shark's Mouth,
Pokemon Stadium (original), High (original), Blue Sky (original), Pipe

I really like this and all, but everytime I choose "Jedi Link" it freezes the PSP... Anybody having the same problem or did a file get corrupted on the zip when I downloaded it?

EDIT: Nevermind, I checked their forums and it appears that I'm not the only one with the problem.

i have the same problem.

You should feel lucky if you could get that far, I can't (And NEVER HAVE) been able to get this Smash Bro's program to even start up! And I keep getting ignored like I'm crazy or something.

It just DOESN'T WORK! I have a v1.5 firmware, which it's suppose to be made for, but all it does it go to black screen for 20 seconds, and then turn my PSP off. I haven't had this problem with any other homebrew game, and I've used dozens of them!

If there's something "Secret" newbies are suppose to magically find out by themselves in order to get this thing running, I'd be great appreciative if somebody could share it with me here. But I think it's VERY professional to release a package that is incapable of working on it's own.

LOL
Homebrew is rarely made by proffesionals. But seriously did you put the game files in the folder without the percent sign?

I havent got this one to work...but the way i got it to work before was i had to reformat my memory stick for some reason that seemed to work when i put the smashbros...folders on first.

uh oh. he knows about the secret!

make sure you put the game files in your game folder so it looks like this.

ms0:/psp/game/SmashGpsp________________________1
ms0:/psp/game/SMASHG~1%

make sure your copying all of the of the contents of the folders and DO NOT RENAME EITHER OF THEM.

the way you get it from the zip file is exactly how you put it on your psp.

or you can go to the smashpack! generator and it will do everything for you.
