This is a "why" thread.

I was just playing around with the files earlier on. What I did was take boot.bin from the sysdir folder of my wipeout umd dump that i did and rename it to eboot.pbp

Since i have psp 1.5, i use the MS swap trick.

My question is, since that is an elf boot file, i thought that it would actually execute it and load the game from my original sony UMD wipeout. Why doesn't it do so?

It provides me with the following error:
The game could not be started (80020148)

I was exepecting that it would load the boot file from MS and run the game from UMD.

Any thoughts?

im no expert, but are you sure the psp didn't detect the ms being removed?

i have done a lot of practice (:P) on swapping the MS to run homebrew and never had one failure. Pretty positive that it was done properly.
