It's finally done! MPH did it again! After his downgrader he now released Game Launcher, a way to run GTA on your PSP 1.50. This method is confirmed working and you can download the launcher on his website. MPH clearly states that this the GTA version, and will release the full version next week.

Here's MPH's comment on his application:

QUOTE

Here the 2.00 game loader for 1.50, see the readme.txt for informations.

This is a demonstration version, the play will stop after 10 minutes, if I did it, it's to do a little pub for my site, for boost adsense and the donations ;-)

I don't like to do that but it's the only means which I found to allow i hope to buy a psp 2.50 to be able to try other programs ;-)

The full version of the loader will be available within one week, it does not matter the results obtained but i hope to be able when same to count on your generosity.

Thank you


Here's a quote from the nfo
QUOTE

MPH 2.00 Game Loader for 1.50 (gta version)

Before using this program, please read what follows :

- The loader requires iso of the game to run, that doesn't want to say that you can use the iso if you don't have the original umd.

- You will need umd emulator, umdgen and a tool called DecryptPRX which is not other than a modification of the psardump tool of psppet.

Iso modifying :

You will need the iso of GTA to be able to continue, I will not give the means of obtaining it, therefore don't ask me on this subject.

Once the iso obtained, it will be necessary for you to extract all the files from the iso (use umdgen).

Then, place PRX2_0_0 folder (in PSP_GAME\USRDIR folder) has the root of your memory stick.

Execute then DecryptPRX, it will create in PRX2_0_0 folder somes files with dcr extensions, remove all the prx files and replace with the dcr files created (remove the .dcr extension) (to replace the crypted prx by the deciphered prx).

Then, recreate the iso with all the files which you had extracted AND PRX2_0_0 folder containing the deciphered prx.

Now you have iso on the good format

Firmware 2.00 installation :

You will need firmware 2.00 in files format, use psardump to obtain it or my firmware launcher and use the function to install a firmware.

Once that you have the files, create the mphgameloader folder has the root of your Memory Stick and copy flash0 (kd, vsh...) and flash1 folders inside.


Currently the original version works for only ten minutes, but iND already released a patch to fix this.

Watch it buddy. You're already on a short leash.

I also removed the link to the file. It contains copyrighted files from Sony (namely the PRX and flash components).

The reason why it freezes at halfway is because you have an invalid save, most likely the CheatDevice.

incorrect, i had the save i used when i played it from the retail UMD.

Eh, it wasn't incorrect in my case.  That was my only problem.  As soon as I got rid of the cheat device, it worked perfectly.

edit: just read that online isn't working yet : ( but is that because of the actual game problems? or that wifi wasn't implemented in this program yet?

*UPDATE*

WORKING 2.0+ Games (And how to make them work)

 
 Beithell 2000
 Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example) - if you can't find one, decrypt it. rebuild iso. everything else like GTA
 
 Crash Tag Team Racing
 Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA
 
 Daisenryaku Portable
 Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA
 
 Geki Sengoku Mesou
 japanese version (Samurai Warriors in US)
 Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA
 
 GTA: LCS
 Just follow the steps in the readme of the Loader
 
 Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X
 Use the Aenea Decryptor to decrypt the file /PSP_GAME/USRDIR/module_a/rockmana.prx .
 Then get the prx files in module dir from another game (Metal Gear: Acid has all required files) and replace them with those.
 Everything else just like GTA
 
 Metal Gear Acid 2
 method unknown - I guess with prx from another game
 
 Practical Intelligence Quotient
 working without any modifications - just load it with the new loader
 
 Socom: Fireteam Bravo
 Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA
 Find yourself a socom savedata, you can only continue a campaign, you cannot start a new campaign!

we aren't PSPupdates.

This isn't a site run by "content holdings".  While some people get banned here.. and cry foul and say we are corrupt.. there are other places on the net, specifically sites run by content holdings that are. Cooked reviews.. ads up the ass, you get the idea.

Anyways.. as long as links to illegal files aren't posted or linked to.. discussion and instruction isn't a problem. (no links to torrents etc either though.) People can use their own mind on how to get stuff. If they are smart enough to find XS.. they are smart enough to find everything else.

Arent you a bit hipocritical there? I remember in the IRC channel people were banned because they answered other people that were looking for the best prices on modchips, and they gave a site which wasn't an official X-S sponsor. And i see plenty of ads on the mainpage of xs. This is not meant as an attack on this place, because i would just leave if i didnt like the info here(forums).


EDIT: and btw, i didn't say pspupdates=xbox-scene, i was just precautious.

EDIT#2: The official version without timelimit is available for download(for the people who dont know it yet)

Not hypocritical at all.

It's our channel.

We'll do with it as we see fit.

People come there asking for help.. looking for shop to buy from, I'm certaintly not going to recommend one I don't trust. If they aren't a sponsor.. I don't trust them. I can say that with a clear head.

(sometimes.. a sponsor goes south.. then I don't trust them either. But that comes with time. Shops start good.. but some go south.. and we can't control that.)

Also.. nothing hypocritical about our reviews. They are honest.. we work hard on them.. they aren't rehashes of spec sheets and regurgitated marketing. They also aren't bought. As I said.. content holding sites are notoriously corrupt.

And our ads.. are placed in such a way as to be alot less obtrusive. I hope you aren't suggesting that we should somehow survive without ads at all?

Xantium busts his hump to keep us afloat with the minimum ads necessary. Despite some retards (not yours) claims to the contrary, Xan is not getting rich. We need some ads, and he's balanced the needs of the site, his needs, and the need to have ads very well.

Given that you've linked to stuff you shouldn't (and should have been banned imo)..

EDIT.. actually.. given your history..

Warning #1:Links to GAY PORN SITE
Warning #2: Linked to site with XDK files

I recommend that you keep to the topic at hand. (and mind your own business) Now.. if that makes us Corrupt.. so be it.



and nothing about this thread warrants a sticky or a pin.

The local mods may add the info to an existing pin though.

I didn't know the files were illegal and shouldve researched more i admit, but a warning would prevent me from doing that again. Everyone can make that mistake imo .

pretty cool, now the sleep support!

Once I'm done transferring the flash0/flash1 folders, I'll test to see if ISOs still work with the new version.

Edit: After my PSP strangely freezing the first time I tried to load the GTA ISO with version 1.1, it worked perfectly the second go around. Seems as if those claims that 1.1 would remove ISO support are false, eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

1. is MPH actually going to disable iso support in future releases completely?  or is this just a rumor?



2.  I read on mph's website that he was working on the multiplayer and sleep mode for the loader, is this for loading isos, or umds , or both?

Post by: Boddah on March 05, 2006, 03:39:00 PM
1. We obviously haven't heard anything directly from MPH yet, so these statements can not really be confirmed or denied. I would assume that MPH would keep ISO support, though.

2. The sleep/wifi support will be for both UMDs and ISOs.

Post by: aldercy101 on January 24, 2008, 06:43:00 PM
After a little bit of thinking and tinkering, the team found the answer where else but at the back of the UMD disc itself. According to them: If you see a small #2 Illusion will work. If not...wait a few days until I make it compatible to the other versions. This device does work online.

Using this actually a moral debacle. On one hand you want to have every sort of advantage you can get your hands on, but on the other side of the coin lies the idea of fair play and honesty. We leave it upon you to make that call.
