UMD Emulator for FW2.60 v0.03 Released!

greg | August 7, 2006

For all those unfortunate TA-082 PSP owners out there left unable to downgrade, this is for you – boy, will you be happy!

Developer 0okm, who’s been responsible for many great PSP feats, has discovered a method to successfully emulate a UMD on FW 2.60 – regardless of PCB version. Yes, this means you’ll soon be able to load ISO images from your memory stick on firmware 2.60! You will however require the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories [unpatched] UMD to utilize this loader as it works in conjunction with the GTA savegame exploit.

after eLoader(GTA) start
run “UMD Emulator for eLoader GTA”
than you can Open and Read file inside ISO by

SceUID fd = sceIoOpen(”disc0:/xxx”, PSP_O_RDONLY, 0777);
sceIoLseek32(fd, offset, PSP_SEEK_SET);
sceIoRead(fd, buffer, size);
sceIoClose(fd);

TODO :
LoadExec ISO’s BOOT.BIN by

sceKernelLoadExec(”disc0:/PSP_GAME/SYSDIR/BOOT.BIN”, &param);

Download:
UMD Emulator for FW 2.60 v0.03
eLoader v0.9.7

Enjoy, and mad props to 0okm for this!

@ #10 I AGREE, piracy is wrecking the gaming industry, sooner or later we’ll most likely have to make our own games. It’s really a shame tools like devhook are misused albeit released for our benefit (preserving the psp’s laser life NOT PIRACY). I know games are getting alot more expensive these days and IMHO, it’s because of piracy…

Oh shit nice… But I already have 1.5. I won’t upgrade cuz there is devhook and I dont wanna waste my money on that Piece of shit of gta umd.

Hurry up and make a fucking 2.71 downgrader.
I am not impressed at all.

2006-08-07 16:40:49

And people should shut up about “dont be teh pirate cuz its not good”. Less than 5% of gamers are playing pirated games so just stfu, I,m not gonna cry for devs who are charging us $50 for a portable game that most of time sucks. Games on PSP arent good…only a few are.

HAHAHA! I just got banned from PS2NFO for posting this shit on there. Those guys are a bunch of fucking assholes! They have eLoader blocked from their site. You can’t even type in eLoader because it blocks it out with a bunch of *’s.

2006-08-07 17:03:48

yo lk3322, this only works on 2.6 if you dont have a TA-082 PSP, then i would upgrade to 2.6 and downgrade to 1.5, its much bettter but if your stuck with a TA-082 psp then just use this ona 2.6 firmware.

Comment by Chris
2006-08-07 17:24:12

When you are in the e-loader you must press start and then you will go back to the you psp main screen and then you can press on the emulator but it doesn’t work for me either

Where did you read ta=hat it is a dawngrader.(NO)
It is a loader for ISO game. Try it and see if it work. but you need GTA UMD and eloader

Comment by Crash_Breakdown
2006-08-07 19:50:53

eey you “dupree” guy,… i’ll bet that if sony made psp’s homebrew compatible that they would sell alot more games. for example : i have a 1.5 psp, and 6 original games. i want to use all the homebrew stuff (cause its fun to mess with :P ) lately i havent bought any original games anymore, because i know they need higher firmware, and i dont want to upgrade (i love homebrew shit) and i dont want to buy an original game and emulate firmware everytime to start it. in my opinion, its sony’s own damn fault.

WTF …HO!!!! MY GOD !!! i am so F*CKING tired of this …i was thinking a umd emulator working WITH OUT GTA and not AGAIN WITH ………….TIRED TO USE THIS GAME TO MAKE ANYTHING WORKING …EVEN THE DOWNGRADER NEED THIS GAME ………………….CAN THEY MAKE A ELOADER OR WHAT EVER THATS DONT NEED GTA? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

ok, is this only a proof? or is it working? even as POC it gives hope to us poor bastards running games on TA-082, way to go 0okm and thanks for all the efforts

 
Comment by mfaheypride
2006-08-07 22:19:00

ok guys, this is only a proof of concept. This does not load isos yet, i repeat this DOES NOT load isos yet. It just shows that it can access the iso and that the actually iso loading is not far off, just be patient and we should hear about this again soon and as fully working, not just a proof of concept.

 
Comment by What this isnt
2006-08-07 23:04:14

This isnt:

A 2.71 downgrader
Eloader free
Fully working software

It is just proof that ISOs may be able to be loaded from 2.60 sometime in the future. That’s all. So noobs, leave it alone

2006-08-08 05:13:13

WTF DOOGIE HOWSER!? Why the hell wud u wanna do that???!! At least only upgrade one or two of them! You need a 1.5. many people would kill for one!. To upgrade: either use the network update option on your psp or download the new firmware from: http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP/Support/SystemUpdate and follow the instructions

2006-08-08 06:02:47

It’s just another proof of concept again, but it is progress. I can see the loading screens from the iso being created, but of course I can’t play any of them yet.

Great work!
Keep it up.

grrr…. got the same problem. Loaded eloader and poof, black screen and then back to eloader menu! I even tried the other method, press start at eloader and back to main menu in psp, tried to load eloader from memorystick but got a error.

Is this a true working emulator?

@ those would compalin about isoloaders and piracy :

please try to load an iso and play so : loading times (that plague the psp) problems is solved.

that’s really another experience, pro evolution soccer 5 as iso instead of original UMD (not to mention some wrestler title) now shines in the menus. that’s really enjoyable.

2006-08-08 13:45:03

Well,thanks for the hackers to do lots wonderful things for our ta-082ers….

But , i should say it is still a long way to us to run iso
in the fw2.6 ( of course the FW2.5 brothers)

WHY??many and many people have the 082 mainboard of PSP,few and few guys get GTA….(THE OLD VERTAION OF GTA UMD,IT CAN RUNS IN FW2.0 PSP,not the new one…..that can do nothing at all to us)
so ……we just hope the great hackers has a way
to run iso without the gta in FW 2.6………..

Use Fastloader to dump your UMD games to ISO on your MS.

 
Comment by DESU
2006-08-08 20:45:00

Ok I must say that a ton of you people here are complete idiots. All this talk about “fuck sony” and “yeah that’s what they get” is utterly retarded. You shouldn’t have bought a PSP if you can’t afford to buy the games. Don’t get pissed off at Sony for trying to stop homebrew on THEIR product. I’m pretty sure they could give a shit less about the legal homebrew being released but do you seriously think they would just ignore piracy? Sure running the iso’s off the memorystick is faster than the umd, but at what cost? Some do this legally but of course many do not and it’s those people to blame, not Sony.

And to you Doogie Howser, I must say your trolling skills are superb…. Unless you really are retarded.

2006-08-08 20:58:17

FUCK YOU JUAN2320 hahaha we shouldnt have to spend 300$ on the system then 50$ a game sony should be reasonable with there prices. Then maybe there will be no need for pirating the games. Sony shouldnt have made there games so dam slow too.

 
Comment by DESU
2006-08-08 21:43:58

Ok, Number 1 I was the one who posted that not Juan. Number 2 your logic is flawed. The price is reasonable and if you didn’t think it was reasonable then why buy the system in the first place? The reason the games are slow is not directly Sony’s fault. The developers ultimately determine the way they handle loads times and all other aspects of the game. That’s why some games take ages to load and others have little or no load times.

 
Comment by matt
2006-08-08 21:54:29

tank, it is your own fault for not buying the gta game,

arent you selfish, you didnt buy a copy of the gta when you had the chance to do so, also, wanting to get the umd loader,
do not push the hackers to do a better job, you try to make a eloader without gta…

Comment by PSPirate
2006-08-09 21:52:04

Luckily, I mine’s at 2.6. There are a lot of people out there who did upgrade for the demos, even now there’s two new demos out if you uprgade to 2.8. Not that you should. Even then, the updates aren’t going to stop anytime soon. With PS3 on the way, chances are its gonna be a given that your going to have to update for new features and comapatability reasons. So it always gonna be sacrificing the latest features in exchange for ISO loading. (And yes as my name implies thats what I am. I buy games at my discretion, not yours. Besides why would someone comes to this site to download the file get mad at others for doing the same?) Instead of calling other people idoits for upgrading,you should a tleast try to help them out. Also we should be grateful that there are files like this around for those who did upgrade so they can do the same thing that you are.

By the way, great work 0okm. Really appreciate it. Keep on rockin’.

Hmm a super newbie PSP owner here.
Question: Is TA-082 is the same with IC1003?
I own a 24-hour psp (a brand new one) my sis bought it in Japan but she didn’t know about firmware so I told her to get the oldest unit in the shelve. But as soon as it arrives, I’m already thinking about downgrading so I asked a flasher to flash mine (I’m afraid to flash it by myself), and he told me that my unit is factory unit with IC1003. Please help.
Anyways, I know I’m in the wrong forum but I think this is a great idea to catch your attention :-)
