Well, we all knew this day would come. An ISO loader for Lumines has been released by some anonymous group. It requires a UMD (any UMD) to be in the slot, but it does boot up the Lumines ISO from the Memory Stick. People are reporting that it loads the game faster but with no sound.
BTW, i've tested this for myself and DOES work
UPDATE (July 1st - Happy Canada Day! :jester:)

Team Xecuter has released a newer version of the ISO launcher for Lumines. This version does not require a UMD to be in the drive when loading the Lumines ISO from the Memory Stick. Lumines so far is the only game ISO that is able to be booted, simply because of a lack of UMD checks as the game runs. Xecuter notes that this is not a hack, its just a fluke with certain UMD checks. They also add that the audio will be fixed in their next release.
UPDATE (July 3rd)
There has been an update to the Lumines launcher to fix the sound issue. I've tried it for myself and does indeed work with full sound now. The filename is lumines-JAP-NO_UMD_FULLSOUND-asphalter

What still interests me more than UMD loaders is giving the PSP USB hosting capabilities to read thumb drives and external USB HDDs. :D I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to see advancements in this front in the next few months. :D

Lumines runs great. I can live without sound.

the issue of piracy is being debated with a passion on this subject. personally, i'm scared that this might lead to bad things (ala the dreamcast) since it's still quite early in the PSP's lifespan. only time will tell.

and second, is that sound problem a fixable problem, or is it not able to be fixed at all?

well ihave to questoins abou thtat, what do you mean like the dreamcast?

a huge part of the Dreamcast's downfall was due to the fact that it was easy to burn games for it without the need to mod it. a simple boot disc was required and you could boot CD-R backups with any retail console. some games had to have data (movies, music) ripped (or resampled) from them since the dreamcast use GD-R disks (contain about 1GB). don't get e wrong, it wasn't the only cause since competition with the PS2 was a big part of the downfall as well.
as for the sound prob, i haven't heard solutions to it yet. loading times are much faster but i prefer to play my UMD since sound is a big part of Lumines.

How to make Lumines Run Off 32MB Duo
In the PSP_GAME\USRDIR\sound folder delete ALL FILES BUT (music_menu.dat , music_skinsel.dat, music_skintitle.dat, music_skintitle.dat)
In PSP_GAME\USRDIR\lang delete JAP folder

I deleted all the sound files and tried to copy just the menu items across but I ran out of space
so I tried creating dummy files for them still no good.Now I know I can get rid of the jap language ! I should have thought of that lol

yeah i do remember that, but i thought dreamcast was doomed because it was released way too early and had tons of bugs?

Developers (not sure who made this at the moment) are at it again tonight and have released a new UMD launcher for the PSP. This new launcher allows a user to play Puzzle Bobble on your PSP. By having Untold Legends, Twisted Metal, Tiger Woods, Gretzky Hockey or Wipeout Pure (with the correct .ppf patch file) UMD in the drive. All in all this is the same as the Lumines Launcher but for a different game.
Like the Lumines Launcher, any links or hints to get this file will result in a ban as we do NOT promote piracy. Also please do not ask us where to get this file because there wont be an answer.
Think of it this way, the more of these programs that come out means that Sony has to crack the whip harder to produce more firmware updates in order to prevent this from happening.
Thanks to re4p3r and the Team Xecuter users on #pspx EFnet for this info.

possibly because the "hide corrupted data" trick wasn't performed correctly? try it without the trick first.

Can let me know what I am doing wrong here? I am trying to load Lumines on a 32MB Memory Stick. It is brand new out of the box and it came with my PSP.
I am running on a PSP ver 1.50 with Wayne Gretzky UMD in drive.
I can have gotten this far: I am able to copy the game to my memory stick via USB. I Then browse to the MS on my PSP and the Lumines loader is shown. The game loads and asks me to create a profile, choose and icon, choose game type. During the screen that shows:
NOW LOADING NOW LOADING NOW LOADING NOW LOADING
NOW LOADING NOW LOADING NOW LOADING NOW LOADING
Scrolling across the screen. It just keeps doing this. I left it for about 5 mins but figured that it shount take that long.
Here is what I have done so far.
I have copied the Lumines folders to the memory stick and deleted the following files:
- all sound except for the following (music_menu.dat , music_skinsel.dat, music_skintitle.dat)
music_skintitle.dat was mentioned 2 times in an earlier post. Are there supposed to be 3 or 4 files left in my sound folder?
I also deleted the Lang\JAP folder.
Can anyone help me out here? At least verify what files I NEED in the sound folder.
Thanks,
styxx
