Hi!
I've installed MapThis on my PSP with FW 3.52-M33-2. The problem that I have is that I cannot connect to any satellite: after I'm starting MapThis, I've selected the map that I need, I've pressed square button and I have waited more than 10 minutes. Every time when I press the "Start" button and I select "GPS Info" I get there GPS STATE: OFF.
I forgot to say that I'm using PSP-290.
Thank you
Maybe is usefull to say that I have extracted usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx starting my PSP in recovery mode and using option "Toggle USB (flash0)".
Did you try to turn the GPS on by pressing the Square button :)Quote:

Then it should work, try downloading the 3.71 PRX from that thread here and follow my guides again.Quote:

Another thing is that I did not specified before: I have a TA-082 PSP. Is there any problem because of this?
I will try again because till now I have tried with mapViewer v0.5.
Thanks a lot for your actual and future answers.
I've tried with 3.71 prx and the program (MapThis) is starting and is trying to load the files but is just going out.
I have also tried PSP290 Test program with 3.52, 3.40 and 3.10 prx files, but I cannot get any satellite.
Since it says that gps state is off, I believe you should check the following:
Firstly, ensure you are using the mapviewer files from the PSP-290 version. This version should produce a blue screen with various confirmations when the program starts.
Second, when viewing a map, press start and make sure the first button of the 2nd row says read GPS from file. If not, press it once to turn on gps.
I wish you luck!!!!
Thanks for the answer but I am sure that I'm using the PSP290 files. More than this, how I already said before, I have tried with PSP-290 Test program, that one that has a green screen and I still don't get any satellite. I have tried with different versions of prx files. Still nothing.
Can somebody tell me if PSP290 is working on TA-082 PSP? Do I have to make some special settings to make it work on TA-082?
Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah, GO OUTSIDE ;)
It takes about 2-5 minutes to get a lock if you get some signals and the conditions is good ;)
Take a walk :)
Enable Trackup mode "Ringht cross", And turn GPS on by pressing Square, turn off W-Lan :)
Can be something wrong with my PSP-290? I'm asking this because I get always that "GPS STATE: OFF" or in PSP-290 Test program GPS-State=0.
Could be or your PSP, try the 290 on another FAT PSP running 3.52 M33-4 perhaps ;)Quote:

A fat PSP is simply how the old version is now called, to make easier the distinction between the old one and the new slim & lite version. (I.e., they differ physically, you can't make a fat PSP.)
It's the same thing as with the first PS2 (fat version) and then later the smaller model (slim version).
The only reasons so far I've seen for a PSP-290 _not_ working are:
- PSP-290 itself is defect or improperly connected, you could try using it on another PSP (a fat version preferably, as PDG mentioned);
- You're using wrong PRX files (you could try my version from http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...09&page=37#368, which doesn't require PRX files);
- You're using a _very_ old version of MapThis, try 0.5+;
- Your PSP keys are messed up because of some old downgrader, then try Chilly Willy's Keycleaner from http://tinyurl.com/2xwta8.
