PSP Installer v0.1

greg | January 17, 2007

ADePSP, author of many great homebrews (Pimp My Garage, Deal or No Deal, Screen\Video Capture Module — just to name a few), has released a very basic app which makes it easy for noobs to quickly install homebrew onto their PSP.

It’s actually intended for developers to package along with their homebrew app/game for ease of installation; include the ‘install.exe’ executable with your release, and providing the files belonging on the memory stick are under MS_ROOT, you’re good to go!

PSP Installer v0.1 Screenshot

The PSP Installer is a very simple app that will copy files and folders onto a user’s PSP. Simply place the data you want to be copied to the PSP into the MS_ROOT folder and distribute with the Install.exe.

The program will automatically detect the PSP (when connected) so all the user will need to do is click the Install button.

The background image that appears on the installer is simply a file called pic.jpg which you can customize to whatever you like.

If you include a Readme.txt file in the same folder as the Install.exe program it will be displayed when the install is complete.

This is a very simple addition that can only copy files and folders. The next release will be able to edit text files on the PSP and a lot more. I thought I’d release it anyway.

You would need to either include all the files for both firmwares at the moment or have two copies… Sorry, it’s a very basic first version…

keep at it aDePSP, nowts gr8 from the beginning, heres my feedback. maybe its possible, maybe not?
1. i reckon a feature to rename mp4 correctly to the right directory, i had major probs tryin to get avc to play using PSDP video manager to transfer avc( it put em in wrong folder)
2. some sorta visual GUI so noobs can just drag n drop into the window, if its ISO or CSO theres only one place for it anyhow, same as eboot, mp3 & vids…file ext could determine the location. (the GUI would defeat the object of a simple exe but noobs do complain rather than feed back as u can see above ;-) (no offence to the above but pretty shady feedback there)
3. add a shortcut to devhook flash folder as devhooks emulation is becoming a regular tester for firmware hacks
look forward to chekin the update

Thanks for the feedback… This is really intended for developers… Instead of making an app, sticking it in a folder in a zip with some manual instructions on how to install it they just include the Install.exe in the zip too and n00bs can just run that rather than getting confused about where the root of the PSP is and where to put things etc…

You can get installers to do this but I made the front end so simple and the detecting when the PSP is connected and which drive it is is not a feature of most commercial installers…

you guys need to stop being so mean yes to you his app may be pointless but to alot of the noob\older and not so tech savy people this can be a great help i applaude you for putting forth the effort to try and help out the scene instead of just being critical of other peoples efforts

This app could be used by coders making extensions or modifications to the 1.50 XMB or any of DAX’s custom firmwares. People always complain about bricks and quite often it’s because they don’t follow readme.txt files to the letter and hopefully should remove some of the worries of meddling with flash0.

If you don’t like it then don’t download it, simple as that.

I think it is a great idea. There is no harm in making things more user friendly. Keep up the good work.

Looking to do a little psp development for the community and this little app looked like JUST the thing need to distribue some work. PSP connection detection and file placement = perfect for the noobs out there.

Psp connection detection = works a-ok!

Copying anything that’s in the MS_ROOT folder = no go. Doesn’t copy anything, no usb file transfer activity, no nada.

Know this app may not have gotten the attention it deserves, but perhaps a bug fix on this little bug?

Thanx for your time! Hope to see an update for this issue!

I messed up on the folder it was copying from… I’ve updated the download so now it will copy to the PSP… It was looking for files in a data folder rather than MS_ROOT… My Bad…

If I am unsure of what PSP model I have, can I run this program to find out WITHOUT it changing anything on my PSP?
I bought my PSP in Japan in December and it came with firmware 2.81.
