oh yeah!!!
nice second one to post brapp
Put files of flash0 (data, dic, font, kd et vsh) and flash1 (dic, registry et vsh) in ms0:/ (folder of your choice, default : ms0:/flash0 and ms0:/flash1) (see Firmware convert tutorial.txt in zip)
please show me a roadmap how exactly this must be…..i get errors in the launcher :(
you all are stupid but you have potential just use dev ultimate installer for the web browser
I still dont understand what this thing does….can i have a webbrowser on my 1.5 now or what?!!!!!
#2 edit to my post:
i put the files like this
ms0:/PSP/GAME/MPHFL/
ms0:/MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash1
ms0:/MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0
ms0:/mphfl.inf
what is wrong here? i get errors in the launcher
ehm…well..i was wondering, if i install this MPH; will i b able 2 download iso files, put them on my MS and b able 2 play these games (i;m updated on 2.00)
what system firmaware do you need for this
ok, so I can launch the 2.50 fw off of my 1.50 and play 2.50 required games right? or no?
If anyone gets it working post on here please cos right now i dont have a clue
Works just fine for me, but the browser is still a little buggy, but at least it works.
GJ MPH!
omg! SOMEONE HELP ME OR NOT?
i want to write something like “works just fine” too!!!!!!!!!!
does gta:lcs work???
nstall a firmware to memory stick :
Requires
- Firmware update that you want to install (EBOOT.PBP)
- Pbp unpacker by pdc (http://www.pdc.me.uk/pbp/) or another PBP utility.
- psardump02a by PspPet (http://files.pspupdates.qj.net/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C38%2C599,1,0,0,40,947)
- PSP Firmware Processor by Djboo (http://files.pspupdates.qj.net/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,40,1943)
Method
1) Open firmware update (EBOOT.PBP) with pbp unpacker
2) Extract DATA.PSAR in memory stick root (if memory stick = F:/ in operating system then the extracted file must be F:/DATA.PSAR)
BE CAREFUL : psardump02a don’t manage firmware > 2.50, please wait for 2.60 firmware.
3) Install psardump02a in your memory stick like another homebrew (PSP/GAME)
4) Run psardump02a, he will erase DATA.PSAR and create OUT folder and OUTX folder in memory stick root.
5) Copy all files (EXCEPT README.TXT) of OUTX in OUT (overwrite existing files) and erase OUTX folder.
6) Open OUT/README.TXT file with text editor supporting UNIX format and you will see the firmware files list :
Example :
Extraction report
From PSAR Dump .02A
a PspPet utility

flash0:/data/cert/Class1_PCA_G2_v2.cer (1122 bytes) — saved as ‘ms0:/OUT/Class1_PCA_G2_v2.cer’
some other files ….
flash1:/registry (0 bytes)
flash1:/vsh (0 bytes)
flash1:/vsh/theme (0 bytes)
————-
258 data files saved
0 errors
7) You should remake the firmware folders/files structure while using “Regular files” informations in README.TXT.
You can to do it automatically with PSP Firmware Processor utility (follow the instructions in pspfp_readme.txt file) or manually like that :
First, choose a folder which contains flash0 files and another for flash1, example :
{memory stick letter}:/MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0/ Install me in ms0:/mphfl.inf /MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0
- Modified string : /MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0/data/cert/Class1_PCA_G2_V2.cer
We must be save the file ‘ms0:/OUT/Class1_PCA_G2_v2.cer’ (ms0:/ = {memory stick letter}:/) in {memory stick letter}:/MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0/data/cert/Class1_PCA_G2_V2.cer.
We must create a data folder in {memory stick letter}:/MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0/ folder and then create in data folder a folder called ‘cert’ and then copy {memory stick letter}:/OUT/Class1_PCA_G2_V2.cer in cert.
You must do that with all files in ‘Regular Files’ list in README.TXT, it’s take time but you must do it only one time.
For IPL files (psp_ipl.bin, part1_psp_ipl.bin, part2_psp_ipl.bin and part3_psp_ipl.bin), just copy in folder that contains flash0 (in example {memory stick letter}:/MPHFL_FW/2.00/flash0/)
-> This step is just useful for flash0, no flash1 files is contains in OUT, See next steps for flash1
Hey Alias, great to see you posting news again!
I hope MPH figures out how to get the browser fully working..
Could someone tell me if i would be able to play GTA umd using this to load the 2.0??
so u can use this to play games that need version 2.00 or higher?
like GTA
Does it say it launches UMD’s yet? No. So stop asking.
Okay, you people are not being clear enough, what in the flying hell does this thing do? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Can you play game iso’s on diferant firmwares? Can i play the prince of persia iso (requires 2.0) on my 1.5 with this thing launched?
All you can do with this at the moment is play videos in avc and use the web browser. so stop asking noob questions.
Yay!
I have yet to dl this but I second that. these update post on the homepage need to have more information. Because half of the ones I have seen, from the text I have no ideal what they do.
#16, u can play prince of persia on 1.5 already… but anyway, wat DOES this thing do?
this is a start now mph make some working stuff for 2.50 or 2.60 that will make you people true hacks
To put it plainly The webbrowser (mostly?) and the newer, better AVC video codec are the only things that MPH has working ATM.
You cannot load 2.x games with it (use the 2.X PRX & EBOOT File Decryptor in the download section or something like that)
That means no GTA, PoP, etc. , so stop the redundant, noob questions!
QUOTE - That means no GTA, PoP, etc. , so stop the redundant, noob questions!
LOL, GTA may not be playable, but PoP is, am playing it right now on my 1.5. ;)
As 23 Says Prince of Persia Works on Firmware 1.5 using UMD EMU 8C & set on Direct Load, Plays Great, Fantastic Game…….Will be Buying this Game, when it comes out in England!!!!!
Kick ass, my avc encoded files now work AND I keep my homebrew!!! Too cool for school
psp is garbage ds rocks
What somebody needs to do is upload the firmware dumps for 2.5 and 2.0 cause its a pain for most to try to get one to work with all the files in the right places. I could of sworn I put every file in the right directories on mine and it loaded fine but when I tried using the enabled AVC it would play em but it showed the icons :/
dude you are so gay ds is ok but it does not play music video and you cant view pictures oh yeah and you cant watch location free or browse the internet and playhomebrew shit of snes neogeo cd and a bunch of other greay old systems its called psp emus bitch! and the ds games whooow they are 1996 they are okay but does not even come close to the psps gret shit!!! the ds screen it is so small oh yeah touch screen my digital cameras screen is bigger than that and has a touch screen and the graphics are worse then N64
so dude if your not actual a person saying something about the psp havck then just screw off psp is the best ever!!!!
oh yeaah you fagget your just to poor to get a psp so dont even post on psp websites you dusch
FLAME WAR TIME!!1!!11!1ONEONEONE!
Jesus.
Um…the DS is still pretty good and I like both systems but right now the DS is on top of sales for both systems and games…..the PSP isnt really that strong right now so you cant say one is better then the other..I like them both…and I have them both….
IMO the both are good and one isnt better then the other…..
Is there wallpaper emulation?
I DUN UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS TRYING TO SAY… WHAT DOES IT DO AND WATS IT FOR AND HOW DOES IT WORK
Oh YEAH!?!?… Well I have a GAME AND WATCH Donkey Kong system bitches!!!! Beat that, I can like listen to like, beeps n blips, and like, try to figure out movement on the FULL BLACK LCD graphics on it’s dual screens, and get this….. It even has a built in clock, so it’s also like a watch and a game in one!! I bet that’s why they called it a “GAME AND WATCH”. TOP THAT!!! Check it out here——>
http://weblogs.jupiterresearch.com/analysts/laszlo/archives/game-n-watch.jpg
what the hect is the piont of this mph firmware launcher if it doesn’t launch games like gta that require firmware update 2.xx if u can just upgrade and launch gta and play homebrew using fanjita’s great Eboot Loader. im asking this for future games that will require higher firmware like 2.5 or 2.6
Well I can get the FW 2.50 to run on my FW 1.50 PSP but the wifi does not work. The green light Wlan on the PSP does not come on when it tries to connect. All I get is a connection error. If I turn the wifi switch off the PSP tells me it is off, so I know at least it is looking at it.
Any ideas?
So does this mean that I can play GTA and beat off at the same time? Beacause it was really hard to do before. I don’t wanna try it yet because I don’t want to permanently brick my weiner.
#39 just shut up u don’t make any sense and NO u can’t play gta using mph firmware launcher
Proove it ho!!
Also I wasn’t asking if you could play GTA with it, I was asking if it would help me to be able to beat my meat while I play it. Right now its almost impossible!!
MPH,THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT RELEASE!!!!KEEP THEM COMIN!!!
wooo! what have we here…

Are you sure you are taking your Ritalin as prescribed?
Your post was so full of poor grammar and spelling I nearly shat myself. Look on your keyboard, next to the letter ‘M’ is a comma. Use it.

That’s correct folks, Edison Carter unleashes yet another release of his Cheat Device for GTA: Liberty City Stories, to version 0.5. This gamesave cheat is also currently being looked at to allow the running of most all homebrew code for PSPs with firmwares 2.01, and 2.50.
This just seems to good to be true, but in this version you can now change your CPU speed between 222MHz and 333MHz, as well as view your battery level, voltage and temperature (although not available in firmware 2.60.)
He has included a video recorder, to capture your mayhem into an animated .gif file at 8 frames per second, but he notes that he is not sure which cpu MHz setting this works better for. Be sure to press Down+X to stop your video recording before taking the memory card out. The generated .gif file is also uncompressed, and to compress it simply open it into any kind of animated .gif editor and save.
He has also added a Heavy Motorcycle, allowing you to speed through town smashing everything out of your way, turning while power jumping, and a cool flame effect when crashing into walls if you do not turn on ‘Your Car is Indestructible.’
To install, download the correct region-coded gamesave and copy the folder into /PSP/SAVEDATA.
You can get it for US GTA:LCS from our QuickJump Download site [here].
You can get it for UK GTA:LCS from our QuickJump Download site [here].
[Thanks, Braden]
Does “change your CPU speed” mean kernel mode is being accessed?
#66 i think #65 was making fun of others.
Damn some ppl here cant read and understand.
MPH rocks!! keep the hard work
OHH i didnt read #61 im with you #66, my bad.

Does anyone know where you can still download firmware 2.0 (jap version)? Ive had a good look but no luck :(
62, aka albert, That is crap, ppl get iso’s cos they r stingy and wont buy umd’s cos they cant afford them, y nt support the developers and buy the games, cos if ppl keep using iso’s and not buying the umds, makers will stop designing games for the psp. Oh yeh, how am i ment ot read comments when they haven’t been written
RETARD
Shut it. Developers’ll keep producing games, a**f*ck.
It’s only a small group of smart ppl :P (including me) that’s downloading ISO’s
can any one tell me what version you nedd to play smackdown vs raw?
im no a idiot i know that you cant load iso or umd’s its a genral quetion.
81, ur probs as bent as a roundabout so telling me im and assfuck is a bit ironic(if u know wot that means)And ur nt smart by pirating, and i hope u get caught
p.s. whens ur 14th birthday?
man this is gay i dont even no wut it does
when they make a downgrader for2.5
if they never mak 1 then wut is the umd ripper
WILL EVEYBODY PLEASE SHUT_UP!
I’m trying to sleep!
can i play super mario 64 on psp2!!???????? pleeeeesse help me!!!!! is this a homebrew program to play backed-down iso of 64 emulator on firmwarrre 2.6???????????
no, this program actually allows for the psp to be your own personal asistant and cook. Make sure you dont have a UMD in the drive though, cause thats where the french toast comes out. I’ve noticed that the portions are a little small, but you can put it on repeat and get a decent meal out of it. Also, this program allows all users to run ISO’s, and homebrew, and even brew your coffee at home……now if that isnt something special i dont know whats wrong with you. this even downgrades psp’s to 1.0 from 3.0, which is due out later this month. cheers!!!
