Lol, its on his homepage, near the top, below the links at the far top. Thanks RickParker. I haven't tried these files myself, but its a nice gesture. BTW, I know some people are still waiting for the Ulta-mega release to downgrade all FW's and allow for naything anytime, but that isn't gonna happen for a while. Those of you who don't have 1.5 FW I feel bad for ya, but then again, the whole reason I got a PSP was for homebrew. So anything that runs on a 1.5 I am very happy for. The whole scene of PSP dev work has exploded in the last few months. Keep it coming!

See this at the top of his page.... lol

This program lets you play Grand Theft Auto - Liberty City Stories on a 1.50 PSP. Previously, you could not do this, you had to upgrade to 2.0 to get it to work. It should, in theory, work on other games as well, I tested it on the UK Demo disk and it seems to boot that OK. Included in the zip are all the files you need, which makes it a bit big - a smidge over 12 mb. Get it here... <<<<< its there

hi,
just thought i'd add a couple of bits,
i d/loaded the files from the link supplied by "rickparker" which made it all really easy. all the flash folders and mph files supplied in one zip files, many thanks to him.
had some UMD's that would not work before, requiring updates to f/w.

Sims 2 does not work, it locks on MPH "loading game" screen.
Smackdown vs Raw does not work, locks on black screen requiring battery to be removed.
GTA:lcs works fine, although you have to wait it takes a few seconds.
King Kong works fine, again a little delay.
Star wars battlefront II works.
If we can keep updating and getting a comprehensive list it will be a great help to all.

i have only had chance to play for a short time on each, all seemed ok.

Many thanks to rick for supplying the link to the files and much appreciation to MPH for an excellent Game loader.

Well, I stayed up most of the night last night trying to figure out how to play 2.5 games on my PSP. I came very close to running out of patience. I made progress just now. I have Mega Man Maverick Hunter X running in ISO mode using UMD EMULATOR and this new 2.00 Game Loader.

This is strange because the game has a 2.50 Firmware requirement but yet I only have the flash0 & flash1 files for 2.00 firmware. Whats also strange is that after selecting the game with UMD EMULATOR and it restars to menu, you DON'T see the UMD icon and a message saying "DISC CANNOT BE READ" appears. I then launch this Game Loader and the game starts and seems to work like a charm with full SAVE support. It just won't play the DEMO of the upcoming MegaMan Game.

Does anyone know why this works and how it may be possible to get other 2.50 or 2.60 games to work. Is it just a matter of having certain .PRX files within the ISO or did MPH code this launcher to work specifically with Mega Man Maverick Hunter?

At least I've made some progress and can now play Tales of Eternia & Mega Man. I am having trouble getting Ys Ark of Napishtim & Breath of Fire 3 to work.

If anyone knows anything that might help I would appreciate it. Thank you!

The reason why some of these 2.0 / 2.5 games will work on 1.5 is because some of the 2.0 / 2.5 prx files have been replaced with 1.5 ones or some of the key files like eboot and other prx files may have been decrypted. The rest of the problems are solved via 2.0 firmware emulation.
