Genesis UMD Launcher 2.6
greg | April 7, 2006
The folks over at ProjectPSP have released a new loader [similar to RunUMD] which is responsible for booting 2.60 required UMD’s on firmware version 1.50.
The goal of this Loader, similar to RunUMD, is to launch an ORIGINAL UMD 2.6 on all the other Firmware versions without making the necessary FW update to play, and thus keeping the possibility of playing back-ups and others’ homebrew too on 1.5.
Installation is relatively simple:
- Copy the loader [ 'G3N3SIS%' and 'G3N3SIS' directories ] to /PSP/GAME on your memory stick (MS)
- Copy the ‘X’ directory to the root of your MS.
i.e.) if your PSP is detected as drive letter F: – copy ‘X’ to F:\
If you experience problems, check out the packaged readme.txt for further information.
This software does not load ISOs – it’s strictly for booting UMD’s which require a later firmware version.

Great work! Now just add the ability to load ISOs.
This is great the UMDs of MegaMan maverick hunter X (USA) and Pursuit Force(USA) now work!
isos r stupid anyways
does this work for 2.01
#3, are ISOS realy stupid? Try to compress that folders wiyh DAX… dah…
man this shit is si cool gta runs awesome
Does it support wifi on GTA at all??? or still not there yet??
1.5 pwns!
Does this work for Untold Legends: The Warriors Code?
shit….i just updated to 2.6 less than a week ago for Me+My Katamari and Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code…. >.
yes finally, now to try out Initial D Street Stage
#10 I did the same thing :(
MAN GET ISOS WORKING AND I WILL LOVE YOU AS IF YOU WERE A HOT CHICK
I usually dont write comments. This is a first. AND I LOVE U GUYS. i have been waiting for this so long!!
THANK YOU J!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!! It works with WORLD SOCCER WINNING ELEVEN 9 [USA] UMD!!! Hooray!!!
CAN DIS LOAD ONLY 2.6 REQUIRED GAMES OR ALL OTHER REQUIRED ONES TOO?
Do i need a different booter to support a umd that requires firmware 2 or say 2.5?
The clarity in what versions of Umd this app covers is blighted by a lack of clarity in the writeup. THus leading to stupid questions!
So does this cover all my disks or do I still need various booters to make other older games work?
Well, gonna test it anyways with multiple dax configs, see if one works. If i fail, o well
anybody got this working with initial d??? casue if so OMFG im going to buy it ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This the same as RunUMD, only that it has the files extracted from a 2.5 game already included with it. That way you can run those games.
This is nothing new, it’s a lame edit by a lame person.
Does Katamari work? just bought it yesterday but didn’t know it required 2.6.
OH DEAR GOD PLZ SOMEONE TELL ME INITIAL D WORKS and quick!!!
does anyone konw if Outrun Coast 2 Coast works? +thanks to the guys that made that 2.6 loader
will the new Tomb Raider game work?
so does it work with untold legends and all 2.60 and below games???
yes i concur with 23. can OutRun Coast2Coast run on this? it would be nice tho if it could run the UMD mounted in the virtual Drive. that would save alot of peeps the grief of buying the blasted game for a few hours of pleasure
does this work with 2.60?
I tried my UMD of GTA and WWE Smackdown 2006 and they do not load. Anyone know a reason or seomthing to do to make it work? I am running 1.5 firmware.
if only Smackdown vs raw 2006 worked :(
#29 i was about to say the same thing, did u test it? smackdown that is
Heard from Maxconsole forums…they claim Initial D boots but crashes…. :(….at least thats one step in the right direction
just tested daxtor, untold legends..they don’t work!!
i repeat no work!
What the hell Kevin? “Does this work on 2.6″ IT’S a FREAKIN 2.6 GAME LOADER FOR 1.5 SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO UPGRADE TO PLAY!!!!! (Don’t ever ask that question again for any hoembrew)
(27.does this work with 2.60)
OMG you are a NOOB lol if you have a 2.6 why will u need this lol
number 27..”does this work with 2.6?” hahahaha you hella nub quit coming to psp hacks if you dont kno shit..dats a hella dumass question
When are they gonna come out with a Program so i can LOAD UMD ISO’s off my memory stick on a 2.6???
36— when hell feezes over!
Or, when they find out how to hack the 2.6 into getting kernel mode. This hasn’t even been accesible to 2.0 users back in the TIFF loader days. Basically don’t get youre hopes up and STOP ASKING THE SAME FREAKING QUESTION, does this work for 2.6 WHY DON”T YOU READ THE DAMN DISCRIPTION FOR ONCE YOU 2.6 MORONS, IF IT SAYS IT IS ONLY FOR 1.5 THEN IT ONLY WORKS FOR 1.5. THE DESCRIPTION WILL TELL WEATHER OR NOT IT WORKS ON 2.0+(IN OTHER WORDS, FIRMWARE NEWER THAN 2.0, MEANING 2.6 IF YOU”RE THAT DUMB) SERIOUSLY TRY READING 2.6 PEOPLE BEFORE YOU ASK THAT DAMNED QUESTION. IF IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT 1.5 OR 2.6 THEN YOU’RE IN THE CLEAR TO QUESTION. BUT IN ANY OTHER SITATION READ THE DISCRIPTION FIRST. YOU ASKED IF THIS WORKED FOR 2.6 BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW WHAT IT WAS, A 2.6GAME LOADER FOR 1.5 PSP. I WANT TO KILL ALL THE 2.0+ PSPS IN THE WORLD AND THEN KILL SONY SO THAT THE STUPID REDUDANT QUESTION WILL STOP HAUNTING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (geeze, Im a bitch)
pursuit force works but its all in french (writing and talking)does anyone know how to change this.
cheers
anyone know which games, from 2.0 and up, that will work with this?
#39 You have to change the registry files for english
go in x folder flash1/registry and replace with that: http://rapidshare.de/files/17474597/registry.rar.html

# 3 – YOUR AN IDIOT. HOW IS FASTER LOADERS and MORE BATTERY LIFE STUPID? AND TELL ME HOW FREE GAMES ARE STUPID?
NOOB, I bet you have 2.6 BAHAHA.
I am the person who posted the news of this ‘new’ loader on ProjectPSPs forums, which was then posted on their frontpage. The ‘credit’ for this program goes to Genesis and Davbond92, which I found posted at PS2info.com However it appears to be a RunUMD rippoff, and would advice people to use that instead of this TRASH
It’s not for 2,6, ok it load UMD Street Fighter of 1,50 fm, but I can’t play Gottlieb Pinball Classics. The Best is one PSP for 1.50 and a second PSP for new Fm versions 2,60 .. 3,00 .. xx
LOL, I bet that half of the ppl asking if ANYTHING works on 2.6 actually HAVE 1.5, but are too stoopid to get homebrew working! So they actually think that they have 2.6, because their sh1t doesn’t work!
BTW: I’ve discovered a new HACK that GUARANTEES 2.6 owners the ability to run ISO’s on their psps! This is great news! Here’s how to do it:
1. Chuck your 2.6 POS in the trash.
2. HACK into the display case of your local Wal-Mart, and take all the psp’s they have.
3. Check the FW version of each one of them, you’ll prolly find at least one that’s still 2.0.
4. Use MPH downgrader to get 1.5 working on that psp!
Tadaa! You now have a perfectly homebrew-ready psp! I take donations via PayPal, just reply, and I’ll let you know that you’re an idiot.
Does this work on 2.0 as I don’t wanna upgrade and to shy to downgrade :$?but I wanna play fight night and its a 2.6 game and I don’t want to upgrade
#55 ok…. were can i download it?
I got to play gta for 5 min then it turned off.Does smackdown work?????????
Wazz up, freak n cool.I was able to play Detroit Hustle,
that billiards game which requires 2.0 on my 1.5 …
does gta work with this??
“It’s not for 2,6, ok it load UMD Street Fighter of 1,50 fm, but I can’t play Gottlieb Pinball Classics. The Best is one PSP for 1.50 and a second PSP for new Fm versions 2,60 .. 3,00 .. xx ”
Thats even more stupid than upgrading to 2.6. I MEAN WTF WOULD WOULD BUY ” FUCKING PSPs. THATS THE DUMBEST THING EVER. WASTING LIKE 500$ for this LMAO!
Couple of Q’s:
1) will I be able to play metal gear ac!d PERFECTLY? with no slow down or shut downs after a few mins?
2) it says 2.6 umd’s, how about regular 2.0 umd’s, and same question? do they run perfect?
does Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code work with this?
Gta Runs for about 5 mins and then crashes
the X file folder is not decode rigth get it from here http://www.megaone.com/pspprx/ get the STREET FIGTHER ALPHA FIX and INSIDE THERE IS GOING TO BE AN X FOLDER,PUT IT IN ROOT MS AND YOU BE ABLE TO PLAY ANY GAMES WITH OUT CRASHING. YOU CAN USE RUMUMD OR THE GENESIS
This does NOT work with Me and My Katamari (US). Just an FYI.
i ran SOCOM on this….it works fine but too bad you cant save or anything….or any online fragging either…..
Downloaded the fixed x folder from megaone’s website, GTA LC still crashes but it takes a couple more minutes to do so.
socom only works with campaign, and it doesnt detect your memory stick so u cant save, and when you try to go online it says psp net error, but this shit still is pretty cool, thanx 2 whoever made it!!!!!!
i have a question, can i play socom online with the socom fix in the x folder???
#68 just use rum umd v0.01.01a1
#70 this app dosent support network play.
#71 I did use rum umd but it still freezes for some reason, dont know if rum had this problem with GTA LC before.
gta crashes for me too using runumd.
#35, you fuckin hypocrite, If I were you I wouldn’t be writing in here, because you type AND talk like a moron. Go to school.
P.S. You are “hella dumbass”.
Buy games, they’re not that expensive. $40-$50, c’mon now, there’s something in this world called a JOB. WOW, AMAZING. I DIDN’T KNOW FLIPPIN’ PATTIES AT MCDONALDS PAYS YOU. Cheap bastards.
i wonder how many games number 75 bought. telling us to buy games and shit
does fifa street 2 work wif this?
this is just a patch of run umd it crap
GTA still freezes? please help
Can u make the Naruto ISO work? Thats the only thing I want… I do not need any game but this!!! And when it doesn’t work… then I’m very sad…
Hey and jester… there is an other loader… use the MPH-2.00 Gameloader… that works 4 GTA LCS
:| hmmm…yes
-81- tried MPH2.0 first, the same thing happens, Complete the first mission and then it freezes???
can this be used for launching umd movies that need firmware upgrades,
or does anyone kno wat u can use to do that,
Anyone who want’s ISO’s to load with this method, should been shoot already. Seriously. Don’t destroy the PSP Gaming community.
If you want any way new cool games, then go out buy the ones already there and there will be comming new games :D
Damn.Daxter didnt work.Anyone have the fix for it?
RUMUMD_ver00101
IF NOT WORKING,GET A 2.50 KD FILE FROM HERE http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9W813WSQ AND REPLACE THE 2.00
FLASH0/KD WITH THE 2.50 KD THAT YOU GET. AND REPLACE THE FLASH1 WITH THE ONE IN THE X FOLDER.PUT THEM IN THE MPHGAMELOADER ON THE MS FOLDERR and RUM THE MPHGAMELOADER amd SEE IF IT PLAYS WITH OUT CRASHING
does Outrun Coast 2 Coast work with this?
does this work with a (JP) PSP & a (JP) game? cuz I never bought it in the US.
it should work for japanese PSPs and Japanese games too, im pretty sure games aren’t region-restricted. some ppl here in Canada buy imported white PSPs(they were imported from Japan) and they play Canadian PSP games on their Japanese PSPs, so it should be fine for the homebrews too
has anyone tried DBZ-shin budakai on this yet??
Well DONE! Very nice Tool. I tested it with UMD “namco museum – battle collection” on my PSP with firmeware 1.5. No errors where found. It works fine. Thanks for this nice tool!!
#76: if u bought a god damn PSP then you can very well pay for a $50 dollar game. Or wait, did you steal your PSP? or do you need your money for pot?
Or do we not want to pay for things that sony intentionally blocks us from running?
very good loader, thanks alot
Just test Y’s Arc works just fine!
it doesnt work with me and my katamari and if the comment is right and it the files from 2.5 than of course it wont work with games that realy take 2.6 (some want 2.6 but use the files from 2.5) and thats why some games work i tried this when run umd first came out
#50, u numb nut… this isnt a loader FOR 2.6, its a loader to load 2.6 UMDS on 1.5! And no, 2.6 doesn’t rule… it sucks arse… so shaddap will ya?
To: #22
As soon as I downloaded this app, I drove out to Fry’s and bought Initial D. I ran back to my car, ripped open the UMD case and threw my new copy of Initial D into my PSP…to my suprise the game loaded but sadly after that, the PSP would just freeze…. T_T
mine still freezes with gta, bugger
gta freezes after a few minutes man i there was a patch or somthing
http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/214/62/
this is how to get gta to run off the memory stick it works…but uses most of the 1 gig that i have so i copied all my files to my hard drive and just transfer them when i need to..
i don’t know what all the hype is about 1.5, the homebrew games are ancient and some sustain interest for about all but 5min. Wanna spend all day hacking your PSP?? Forget it, update your PSP to 2.6, play the latest games with no glitches and no hacks…..1.5 owners got too much time on their hands hacking their PSP’s all day just to play the newest games….sad really…upgrade already
fight night round 3 works fine hasnt crashed once on me yet
I can’t get this to work with Generation of Chaos UMD, even though it says in the readme its suppose to work, help!
Why cant it work for Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code. i freezes in chapter 1 while crossing the dame bridge.
Valkyrie Profile Lenneth is ver.2.60 but doesn’t work. Can’t I get any game I actually want to play work on this?
