i thought miemt11's simple umd loader just booted a umd like normal, the same way as psp does anyway... :rolleyes:
flashmod writes to the flash doesn't it? bit too risky just to give it a go and see what happens.
i asked on loads of forums whether anyone else has got it working on a fw 1.0 but i havent found anyone that has tried it on 1.0.
Well, let me put it this way: it allowed me to run Kingdom of Paradise, Legend of Heroes, and a few other 2.0 games on my 1.5 system that wouldn't work with the version changer alone. And, flashmod only writes to the flash if you select that option. The UMD loading option doesn't even go near the flash.Quote:

As long as it doesnt write to flash, it shouldn't screw up my psp even if it does go horribly wrong; I should just be able to turn the psp off and it would start back up normally right? :)

i have just downloaded simple umd loader 0.02, the files came in 1.5 format so i converted the eboot to 1.0 and the program ran.
i tried it with ridge racer (1.0) it loaded fine like normal. then i tried it with lumines (1.5) and the screen goes black for 3 seconds while it tries to load... but then it just takes you back to the psp shell menu :(
oh well, flashmod next
That is cool indeed, I did not know that. And I am currently playing Kingdom of Paradise and Legends of Heroes so this will surely be helpful when I use 1.5 firmware.Quote:

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Yes - saving is identical to running the UMD. You just need to be careful to keep track of your save data when changing memory sticks i.e. copy it over if you change back to the stock 32mb for example.
Just wondering, and this is a genuine question - why are you still using 1.0 rather than upgrading to 1.5?Quote:

From what i understand the only pros to updating to 1.5 are:
- more commercial psp games would work, probably about 50, maybe 100
- MPH FW Loader
- Flashmod may only work with 1.5 and higher
But cons are:
- No way to go back if i don't like it as much
- Need to use KXploit for homebrew
- Possibility of completely loosing my psp if update screws up
I guess one reason would be that if it randomly turns off (has before, even with mains in) while updating, my psp will get bricked and i won't be able to send it back to sony because it is a japanese psp and i am in england. Even if i could send it back, it would be returned or replaced, with fw 2.6 or higher on it anyway. :(
If MPH FW Loader or Flashmod could work on 1.0 psp's i would be able to play as many games as 1.5 can! :p
Thank you for this great program. I own GTA and now I can play it but the only thing I am dieing to know it if Ad Hoc works?
