Hi! Requesting some help...

Post by nephron »

Hello. I have been working really hard but have gotten nothing. Im am trying to create a prx similar to the update_plugin.prx that would download an eboot file and create the folder UPDATE in psp/game folder, and put the eboot in it. I tryed using PSPSDK but have no idea how to use it becuase i need wget. I was wondering if anyone can help me here with this.

Please and thank you!

Do you mean to say you tried to install pspsdk? If so the readme explains which packages you must install before you can install the sdk. You can find the readme at http://www.ps2dev.org/psp/Tools/Toolchain you may need to type that URL into google and click on "cached".

I wonder how hard did you really try...

Anyway, in order to get valuable help, you should provide as much information as possible. For instance, what OS do you use? I assume you are on Windows. Well, you can save your trouble by downloading pre-installed/configured toolchain (search for devkitPSP at http://www.devkitpro.org). If you want to manually install it, download and setup cygwin first, then google for some tutorial or even search this forum... Installing wget is only a matter of properly configuring/installing cygwin.

Ok. I got the general idea on how to do this, but no idea what to do after.

This is what i got so far...

wget www.XxXXXx.com/XXXXX/EBOOT.PBP
mkdir /PSP/GAME/UPDATE
mv EBOOT.PBP /PSP/GAME/UPDATE

From there i have no clue what to do, and how to make it into a prx...

I'm not 100% sure of exactly how to make a PRX, but Im going to assume its very similar to making any other homebrew application.

you need to set up Cygwin and the PSPSDK in order to compile anything for the psp.

I get this when i open cygwin.bat

Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates th
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for e
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.
