Homebrew On The 1.50 Is Here

***wraggster*** · June 15th, 2005, 15:24

The PSP DEV team from Spain have released the exploit that requires swapping memory sticks early and so now all 1.50 PSP owners can play emulators and Homebrew heres some instructions emailed to me a minute ago :

<BLOCKQUOTE>Here's a basic rundown on how to "convert" a normal homebrew program to run on a 1.5:

Take a program called the "MS Swap Tool"
Select the homebrew file you want to use on your 1.5 PSP
Select an Output Directory
Click on "Generate Files" and it will make 2 directories on your Harddrive.
Copy the stuff in MS1 into a directory like <MSDRIVE>\PSP\GAMES\TEST on your first Memory Stick
Copy the stuff in MS2 into a directory like <MSDRIVE>\PSP\GAMES\TEST on your second Memory Stick
Now, to actually launch the file:

Take out any UMD that may be in the PSP
Go to the Game > Memory Stick menu and highlight the Launcher Icon but don't press any buttons
As soon as you press the button to launch the homebrew app, you must quickly swap out your first memory stick with the second memory stick
WARNING: Removing the memory stick while the PSP is accessing it can damage the memory stick and possibly damage your PSP as well.

aseddon130.....do u have a memory card reader that will read ms duo???
coz if you think about it, why would you need 2 memory sticks if u have a reader for your pc....transfer the 1st file over, put it in psp, take it out, put it in ms duo reader, transfer the 2nd file, put card in ur psp...done!
ive not tried just using 1 card so im not 100% it would work

But more power to the guys who figured it out.
Now make it so you dont have to fart about

I agree this method would work BUT you only get about 5 seconds to swap the ms so you'd run out of time..
