UMD Game Loader Version 1.1.0 (Play your GTA UMD on a v1.5 PSP)

**shadowhawk22** · March 9th, 2006, 07:16

Don't upgrade! you fool! Noooo! Seriously, if you don't know about the PSP scene already, then you are a fool to upgrade. I know GoC is great, but you mustn't be hasty. For a long time GTA LC wasn't playable on 1.5, now it is... Before that 1.5 wasn't even cracked. And before that, nobody knew how to put on homebrew. Things have come a long way, and they are speeding up rapidly. I urge you to keep 1.5. Take it from someone who knows a lot of the PSP homebrew scene.

Anyway, thanks for answering my Q. I am going out tomorrow to buy GTA, and I will thuroughly enjoy it. Hopefully the installation of the loader is easy... Anyway, thanks guys, and keep the updates, question, and concerns coming.

GTA loads. Will not load save games though. Virtua Tennis works with saves and all. Havn't tried them with multiplayer though.

I have a PSP v2.0 and was wondering if anyone is working on a UMD loader for games requiring v2.0 .... 2.6 ? I bought my PSP when it first came out in Canada as v1.5 . The only games I had were Wayne Gretzky Hockey and Hot Shots Golf so I really wanted a new game and ended up buying SSX but I had to upgrade to 2.0. There is another game I want to get but I would need version 2.6 and I definitly don't want to give up firm 2.0.. I still need to play homebrew. Please someone work on a UMD loader for 2.0 and above.

I upgraded to 2.6 and it was worth it. I appluad the homebrew community, but playing GoC was worth having to load up GTA to play homebrew.

It may be easier on 1.5, but its still possible to use homebrew on 2.6. And if you want to play games actually designed for the PSP, its necesasary.

I'm not any happier with Sony than anyone else, but thats the reality of the situation. If you really enjoy homebrew that much, why didn't you get a GP2X? It would even be easier than 1.5

I do have a GP2X but I still prefer emulation on my 1.5 Psp. The Psp has much more power with the 333MHZ Media Engine, 166MHZ 3D GPU and its standard 333MHZ CPU.

I am pretty sure that when the N64 and Psx emulators reach maturity, those who stayed with the lower firmwares will be very glad that they did so. I did not originally purchase the Psp for emulation or homebrew but once I accidentally discovered this I have not looked back and never will.

As someone mentioned before, I expect many 2.0+ games to be able to run on 1.5 firmware in the future due to MPH's work and the RunUMD application. For example, many stated that running GTA under 1.5 firmware was simply impossible but yet it has still been accomplished, therefore nothing should be assumed or underestimated.

So GTA will load a save game, but it won't save a game? Is there anyway to fix that? What's the point of me playing GTA if I can't even save it? Am I supposed to play all the way through in 1 sitting? Anyone have a fix?

Thanks,
Hawk

Ok, I'm not sure what the deal is with the peeps not being able to save games with GTA or any other 2.0 game... so far I've been able to load/save just fine with GTA and Legend of Hero's, as well as various 1.51-2.0 games. Have you guys tried reinstalling the loader and prx files? Or is it possible that there's some shady stuff going on that you're not telling us...*cough*.iso*cough*

Hehe, don't look at me! I've been trying to get ahold of a GTA umd for a week now. But seriously, it is confusing why some people can't save with GTA. If you say you can save/load, then I think I can get it to do the same. But if anyone out there can't save or load a umd (especially GTA) please say so. (BTW, thanks Esteem for help clear that up for me)

Sorry, I have a kind of noob question, but, this couldn't brick my PSP could it??
Also where it says place 2.0 files here, or whatever it says, what files do I put there? or where can I get them? I have PoPoLoCrois, and I haven't been able to play it, and I saw this and was curious. So I appreciate any help.

**mre64** · March 22nd, 2006, 08:00

thats great but how exactly do you get the 2.0 files into kd,vsh etc.? when i used psardump i got everything mixed into "out" and "outx" i know ive done something wrong, but what?

any help is appreciated.
