Well Iam just looking forward to running my Distruction Derby 2 game on this as I was unable to run it in the other psx emus for the psp. This news has come as a shock and a blessing

This is for anyone that's used the PSX eboots already, how are L2 and R2 taken care of?

L2 is left on the analog stick. R2 is right on the analog stick. And L2+R2 is up on the analog stick.

Except for people who have 2.80+ firmware, I don't see the use of using Devhooking (if it would have worked) to load a Custom Firmware.

My point would be, if you want to use a custom firmware, install it (if you have 2.80 or lower, like 1.5 in most of the cases).

If some people want to stay with their holy 1.5, why not, but in this point, why wanting to use the other one ?

It's really paranoid to think about bricks and others, I flashed my psp probably five times since I have it and never got a problem (first time I did it, I was a bit scared but now, I'm doing it like I'm installing an homebrew).

I did 2.0 (official) => 2.5 (sony update) => 2.6 (sony update) => 1.5 => 2.71 SE (B,B'',C), back to 1.5 after the installation in the flash of Devhook 0.50 to be sure to have a 100% working firmware after (see at the end of the
paragraph), then back to 2.71 SE-C to install Devhook 0.50 (3.1), then back to 1.5 (to install the next one), then I installed the 3.02 OE A, and I even went back to 1.5, then again to 3.02 OE A (because first, none of my games were working, I thought the last one were weird, but in fact, it seems when I choose "no-umd : disabled" the first time with 3.

02 OE A, it didn't selected it and so I thought the firmware got a problem. (and I forget to mention each time I uninstalled a Devhook, and downgrade from a Custom Firmware, I then did an official update, then downgrade it to be sure to get a 100% working official firmware and to be sure to not brick my psp).

And see, with all of that, I never got a problem (and I never do it with 100% battery, always the minimum required so 75%, one of those times, I even did it with using the AC power adaptater, and I didn't got a problem too).

And I can go back when I want to 1.5, don't have to think, "oh maybe dark alex hacked his thing to not let people downgrade later" as I already tested the downgrade from the 3.02 0E A.

I'm okay to to think if it works with 3.02, we could think it can "theoretically" work with Devhook and a 1.5, but I really always don't understand why some people are against a Custom Firmware (which is far better, even without PSX games, than the 1.5 one).

Anyway, Dark Alex will get a donation from me too next week (even if it's not released yet), it will probably not be higher than 10$, but I think it worth at least that (and if all the people where giving that amount, it could make a lot of money lol !), even without the next one, as I'm using 2.71 SE-C since a while, and now 3.02 OE A.

And about Sony, who prevent them to sell only the emulator on a UMD, at the price of a real psp game, and then, distributed a program to make isos from the real CD ?

Personally, I would have bought it, and I think lots of people would have too, it's useless to use an illegal version when a legal one is available, and with a decent price.

No, they prefered sell a few games each month, lots of games lots of people don't care.

I'm sure a UMD with only the emulator to play with our real cd converted to isos would make them win really really more money than the "store version". People aren't dumb, they can buy an emulator or something like that once, but people won't pay for like thousand games, if they already bought them in the past. Same goes to Nintendo, I'm sure a annual subscription of, let's says, even 15$ by month, would make them win a lot more money than the actual system, for example, I would have subscribed, but not in the actual system, because by example, used nintendo 64 games are for most of them, cheaper than 8$

10$, lots of them are 5-6$, the system is like 15$, I better pay 5-6$ for the real game of the real console than 8-10$ only for a rom.

Oh, I forgot, for people who asked, "and about multi-cd games ?". If you're playing a multi-cd games who ask you if you want to save before changing disc (like ff's), you would just have to save the game after the iso of your cd 1, shutdown the emu, put the iso of your cd 2, reload the emulator, choose the new iso, and reload your save.

If you're playing a game who don't ask to save before changing the disk, I only see one solution at the moment (except if the emulator if modified one day), if the emulator use a special format for the saving (I mean, not the same as PC emulator), you would just have to wait until someone make a converter, then take your psp save, use it on an PC emulator, load the second cd, save it, convert it back to your psp and here you go.

Seems a bit long, but it's not that long, and if it would be this way, some people will probably do some "already prepared" at the beginning of every cd of popular multi-cd games for people who don't like to get bored with those sort of method.

Anyway, end of my long post
