PspStates Experiment for the PSP Slim *Updated*
greg | July 2, 2008
Update: Dark_AleX perfecting his work further with PspStates Experiment v2…
- Fixed important bug in inter-thread code (semaphore wasn’t waiting due to interrupts disabled), that caused the load state to not be completely read in some cases. This caused black screen after state load (unless you just saved that state, in this case state was still in ram), or even worse, game not working properly due to partial load.
- Added states per game basis. The controls are slightly different: old controls now do a local savestate/loadstate of the game, while pressing additionally select button will save/load a global state. See instructions for more info.
- Fixed bug that caused normal sleep mode waking up immediately.
- UMD discs and ISOs in normal UMD mode are now supported. However, they require to nullify umdcache, by flashing one file, read the instructions below.
And courtesy of Demonchild, the PspStates tutorial.
Nothing pisses me off more than having to advance to the next checkpoint before I’m able to save my game. Yeah, you know what that’s like — dinner is getting cold, people are yelling for you to hurry up… Really it never ends; that is, until now… Dark_AleX has unveiled his latest & greatest project — PspStates. Save your game in its exact state — wherever, whenever.
I strongly encourage you read the included documentation before using PspStates. That covers installation, usage, and other things you should know.
PspStates is in the experimental stages of development; bugs are likely to exist so you shouldn’t rely heavily on using it to save your game state, not yet anyway. Try it out and leave your feedback below.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! first
Fuck you motherfucker!!! Go die and fuck your bitch ass mother who I fucked today and will fuck tomorrow and the day after!!!
This makes me horny, second.
I came, third
I am always the one to cum last….
ASS!
most of the writings I have told people to write strictly prohibits that…
But that’s because my higher power has a language that is hard to understand as it has a fourth and fifth dimension.
third! gotta try this out tommorrow. going to sleep now no time today.
damn somone beat me to the chase while i was writing. i guess I Am
Fourth 4
This sounds like it could be something very special
Very cool
Will this work with psone also? Or just umd/iso/cso?
please, READ THE README
it EXPLICITLY SAYS that you shouldnt use it if you have an UMD in your drive, or with Normal/OE isoFS driver, It desnt work for POPS, APPS, UPDATER, or the XMB
sorry pierceddood. i always look at this site from my sidekick while im at work. i didnt have the ability to download and read the readme. thanxs for the info though…..
I’ll be all over this is he makes one for the fat.
Won’t happen, read the docs. It works by first copying the ram to the extended ram then writing to the mem stick to allow for a shorter pause.
in other words us fatty’s are fucked
:) Fat’s just don’t get it … :)
will this work with my new iPhone? i tried but nothing.
it should do i dnt see y not lol
why would it work on an iphone if its for psp?
Hahahaha…
Errr….
whats the point?
You can already put the PSP into standby mode, this pauses whatever game you are playing.
How long is your PSP outa your hands for anyway?
Standby mode is more than capable…
Thanks DAX, but no thanks!
yeah.. thats saving your state temporarily.. until you start back up again. Imagine being able to go play a different game completely, or retrying a jump over a ledge over and over again, without dealing with continue points. If you ever play ROMS with savestate support, you know how great it is.
Have you ever seen the movie “Next”? There’s a few scenes where he dodges an entire clip from a handgun. You know how? Because his power is similar to that of savestates. Screw up? Do over. Passed? Save over it. Screw up after that? Repeat. It’s for those pesky hard-start-over-if-fail kind of times.
Some people have that problem, others don’t. It’s a simple fact of life
and go to your local church, you haven’t prayed enough this year.
I LMAO when i read this from the readme::: Fake memory sticks are… fake… and shit, they could make
load and savestate too slow.
yea but standby isent good for if u need to save real quick to .. oh lets say show off another game beacuse you got a suprise visit from your aunt
this should also be for the fat psp
I need this for my 360!
wow,
this is F*cking sick! Would be HELLA Helpful in Silent Hill
exactly. Silent hill is awesome, but i hate how you get like 1 save per hour
Could damage nand I’ll wait for an update
i dont suppose this could be used for my Laptop?
yes it works on your laptop just right click c drive and click format
lol, man.
it works… try it
No dude, just PSPs and Zunes.
Careful. Tomorrow there’ll be some kid in here begging for help because he bricked his Nintendo DS/Zune/iPhone/Ron Popeil’s Showtime Rotisserie. LMAO
Guys before you make PSP Fat comments read the docs either in the Read Me or on his site. He states EXPLICITLY why it wont work on the fat.
Could this be used on TIVO,I will really like the ability to save the tv programs instead of ”live pause”…I’ll try,but first I will use this on PS3…
In PS3 dosn’t work,I will try on PS2……
NAAAA,no results,..mmm,maybe on PSX…
Wondering if this will work on N-GAGE to?…
tried this app on my dads tomtom gps. this junk didnt work. why waste our time alex??
My standby mode stopped working after using this. It just turns the system back on when I tried putting it in standby. Anyone else seeing this?
I guess us phat mother fuckers are screwed =P
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!
PSP ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY!
OMG WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?
what about a psp with a ta-82 board? or a psp from japan?
try flicking the power button up when your in-game…its kinda like a semi-save-state thing….ive done that a few times and left it all night and it would reload at the exact point where i flicked the power switch the night b4
Sorry but omg wtf?
Seriously
I installed this into my Game Boy and it worked great. Soon after, I tried other products like CD players, 8 track players, microwaves, and even a teddy rumpskin. This product is out of this world!!! Gonna see if I can put this into the chipset my dog has in him already. Thanks Dark Alex!!!
lol
i tried this app on my grandpa. no luck brick. what will i tell my parents? dam..
YEAA,it works great on my SEGA MASTER SYSTEM and my TURBO G16.Also,my friend tested in his ATARI JAGUAR but it has bugs.Thanks DARK_ALEX,keep the good work,waiting for an update so I can get this working on my NINTENDO 8Bit and SEGA GENESIS
DAM..not working on my GPS,lol
OMG..OMG,Ijust briked my brother’s VIRTUA BOY.What I will tell him???OH,I remember,PANDORAS BETTERY…
lol i love these comments
now seriously, does anyone tried it out? i would like to know if it actually works
random question: if this uses the extended ram what happens if the game already uses that ram too?
The UMDs use that extra ram,that’s why you can’t use this on UMDs ,only on ISOS and CSO,cus they don’t use that extra ram
i’ve heard about this before, bt isnt it suppose to come with 4.01 ofw? i mean originally from sony?
no sony would never do this
i’ve already tried it. the sound is a bit messed up, and if you did a savestate, exited the game, then did some stuff in your psp (musics, web browse, whatever), then played the game again it wouldn’t load the from the savestate. so it only works if you won’t exit the game.
but i tried it with my Sega Mega Drive and i finished the whole Sonic series in just an hour. i’ll try it with my friend’s Dance Dance REvolution Pad and see if it works.
*music
UPDATE tried it in Guitar Hero…err…or was it Sitar Hero?
yea, the same also happend to me while testing it..
on my dvd player it says ”please insert dvd”,but I’m 100% sure I burn this program on dvd,what i am doing rong?? Maybe is because I burn the disc at 8x,I will try at 4x,if not,I’ll try another disc at 2x,if nothing happen,then is my dvd player,have to buy a new one. But in my iPod Touch works great.
CHERSS TO DARK_ALEX
Doesn’t work on my granpa 8 track,is not save the music when i use this
SO he won’t make one for fat I used it on my fat and LOL. It worked but when I load it it bricked my PSP LOL. But I created a Pandora before so no problem
Not to sound like a dick (actually, yes, to sound like a dick), but I inquired into the possibility of such a piece of software some time ago and noone else seemed interested. Granted that was on pspmod.com and not here but still…
Anyway, this pleases me greatly. Just a shame that unpaid hackers must remedy what amounts to widespread piss-poor software design. You can’t save at any time in the vast majority of PSP games; it’s a portable system, fools!
HEYY,works on XBOX 360 with METAL GEAR 4 in the drive and the program on a usb flash drive,you have to overheat the 360 and wait for the red ring appears,and it warks.Be sure to have all the files on the usb flash drive and reneame them to 360.01,360.02,360.03,etc…
sometimes i like to touch myself.
Dark Alex the genius at work again. If you are reading, please consider making it for the phat version because this feature could be adapted for use with emulators to allow the power button to save and then standby, then restore just like PSP games.
I installed on my girlfriend now i can save the bj for later. omfg ur the best alex two thumbs up…..the a
Why not for PSP PHAT ?? Right now I hate u dark alex!
not his fault you have an outdated peice of shit. haven’t you noticed its all about the slim now?
he is right dark alex is kick @$$
Not everyone wants to pay lots of money for a Slim version when they have a fully working phat version that does the same thing. The only real difference is that the Slim has a TV-Out port on it and even that is rubbish seen as games look stupid on a TV.
If we were all wealthy, then OK, you would have a point and we would all have Slim versions.
OMG This does actually work on Fat.
I installed it all as a plugin now i can take the Fat with me everywhere and show off what i have saved… 1 pound, and i would say its 10 time better than the george forman grill
Thanks
Dark Alex

Totally works on the PSP-3000 series I got special use from Sony and they paid me to use CFW.
lol noob! i got psp-4000!

OMG,OMG,OMG
Tis works on credit cards,be sure to use the save state before buying anything,then check your credit account,it works.
Also works on XBOX 360 with METAL GEAR 4 in the drive and the program on a usb flash drive,you have to overheat the 360 and wait for the red ring appears,and it warks.Be sure to have all the files on the usb flash drive and reneame them to 360.01,360.02,360.03,etc…
Incredible!!! No words for that… DA!!!!! Just great work!!!
Invisible Opponent glitch in FF CC. Quickload before a game and going into the battle b4 loading finished (light blinking stopped) will result that the opponent cant be loaded, thus is invisible!
Actually a bug, that doesnt need fixing. ^^ If U dont want to fight invisible Monsters, just wait till loading is complete!! ;-)
tried again, this time where theres 3 opponents!! Caused crash!
