Firmware Launcher v1.3.7u5

Posted by Ian13

Miemt11 has released his 5th (and final patch) for MPH’s Firmware Launcher v.1.3.7.

The overall improvements on the original v1.3.7 launcher are:

  • Include a new special mode for firmware 2.50 (Improve stability).
  • Triangle + SELECT to toggle the mode status (Only can be set before emulation start).
  • Fix some driver.c and patch.c conflict to minimize hang (Only tested on firmware 2.50).
  • Patch the icon.
  • L + SELECT or R + SELECT to load the real/hardware original Sony UMD (Unstable).
  • Internet browser should be more stable when entering web address (May still hang).
  • Press O to quit, before emulation starts.
  • Support the new mphfl.inf structure config.
  • Reduce overall eboot size by 34KB.

I quote from the original readme:

For any questions, problems, read the tutorial and application forum

-> Use with precaution, i am not responsable for possible damage < -

Allows to launch a firmware from the memory stick.

The firmware must be in file format and not in eboot.pbp format, for convert a firmware eboot.pbp in file, use the psardump02a tool

For use only with 1.0 or 1.5 firmware PSPs.

    I do not think you’ll be able to get everything you need onto a 32MB card. Between File Assistant, MPH’s Firmware Launcher and the actual firmware, it is right at the memory stick limit.

    This will not run GTA LCS.

    The point of this is if you have a 1.50 PSP you do not have a web browser or the ability to play AVC media. Before this program came out if you wanted those things then you had to upgrade or use a hacked web browser. In any case the AVC media playback simply was not possible unless you upgraded firmware.

    With this program you can launch the 2.0 or 2.50 firmware without actually upgrading your PSP. Once launched you have a Web Browser & AVC capability.

    Understand? ;)

    I juz bought UMD game that require me to upgrade to 2.5 but I do not want to upgrade the 1.5 fw so I can use homebrew emulator. Any chance of this mph fw launcher allow me to boot the UMD and play the game. Any help is welcome.

    #7 I believe you can upgrade to 2.0 (which you can downgrade from) and the use PSPsetX 2.0 to change the version to 2.5, since I don’t *think* it needs any things that arn’t on 2.0.

    People ask with every version “Can this run GTA or other 2.xx games?” Well no, and when they are told this they attack the creator, calling it pointless. Well for starters, if it can run 2.xx games i’m sure it will be on the description, and don’t attack the creator! be damn gratefull they are giving you FREE apps!

    hey Ian! check out this bluetooth device that got released in asia for the psp. It’s from i4u so it is a reliable source. here’s 73h linkage if your interested. it’s possible that it could be used to connect to the internet(via phone), a bluetooth keyboard, and many other accessories or hacks.

    Great work on Firmware Launcher v1.3.7u5, very handy. Many people probably don’t appreciate or understand the work and steps that are being taken towards bigger and better things for 2.0 and eventually 2.5. Keep it up.

    An old unprotected beta firmware is still downloadable from private Sony BetaTester Site:
    [REMOVED LINK]
    This will upgrade any 1.50 or higher PSP to a never released version which offer full homebrews, ISO and 2.0 games compatibility!!!
    I can play GTA LCS ISO now!

    Don’t trick users into upgrading to 2.60. And yes, I compared the sony v2.6 URL, and its the same! Removed link. Ian13.

    #37, to get flash0, use the PsP_Firmware_Processor by djboo and it will create a folder in ur memory card 2 folders, the flash0 and the IPL folder (the contents of IPL will be moved to the root of ur memory card) u will then create a new folder and rename it to flash1.

    Hey guys! I’ve tested this Launcher (with v2.0 dumped firmware), but my PSP just shows a blue screen with foreign words! Then it reboots back into v1.5!

    Can anybody tell me the solution?

    uhm, if I understand this right, you run a 2.5 (or 2.0)firmware on a 1.5 (without upgradeing), like running linux on a windows system **and uh can I do somthing with the ir-poort of the psp?**

    I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!
