You can also download my dummy loader!
It works on your PSP, doesn't load anyhing, so don't worry.

LOL! Yeah, geocities is more like geoshitties when it comes to bandwidth. I have a geocities page, but I don't really use it for much.

I wish good luck to all the guys that try to do that! :P

What does that file do? Load some pictures? I have no PSP to test it out.

....I wonder if the reboot that occurs is necessary... wonder if anyone can look into that to see if you can stop the reebot that occurs.....it would be a hassle if in the near future one can dowload a demo game from sony and each demo would have to reboot the psp. Probably not... only for a firmware update im guessing.

Well, the current reboot happens as i've removed hex code to make it smaller :P But i actually reboots even in the original file. It's nothing disturbing. its because i used the updater, and psp knows the update is already installed.

What all did you do to make that?

I noticed you riped out all of the other files but did changing the title text give you any trouble??

I know when trying to change save game files even one small change give you problems.

Thanks

All you have to do is keep the exact count on letters/spaces, don't exceed the current. So cutting out the others files...i guess i was lucky, i erased everything just by hand :S until i though it was ok :P lol?

Intressting, but hexing around in encrypted code without understanding anything wont help us much. Neat anyway :)

Hi AWhite...why dont you try this..for example we know the path of the Music/Photo/Movies on the pro duo..with the psp/music/songname....or psp/photo/phot image...etc..why not right a path in hexiditor to see if you can get a bootable song or image or something with tht bootable file....let us know. If that would be possible..but even if it doesnt work because we don't know the path to the music or photo app...we could end up booting our own OS with our own apps.

Unfortunately it's not that easy...the executable file is encrypted. the icon and the name of the file is not, thus u c i cannot do anything else :( I don't know anything about encryptions or coding :( some stuff about hex and generally pcs only. If i eve get lucky with any of file while having some fun with it..i'll let you know :P

As I said in my previous post, hexing around and just random chaning paths wont help here for any homebrew issues.

Hey, I'm not sure if I missed something, but earlier someone was talking about how this dummy loader caused a reset of their psp. I loaded this onto mine, started it, got the psp loading screen, then darkness (<1sec), then I'm dropped back in to the menu with an error: "The game could not be started (8002001)". No apparent reboot, unless its that very short dark screen I get (my power led doesnt flash/turn off either). I'm assuming this is what everyone else is getting, and I'm posting nothing new... but wanted to make sure. You can go back to ignoring me now. :-P
