You Want To Play Higher Firmware Games On 1.5? Look Here

[lord]

1. Don't tell me this is in the wrong section, I have been here long enough to know that. People will start threads here anyway, this is to cut them off. (If you didn't already know, most people that need help post in this section for some reason...)

2. I didn't post this in other threads because they are so cluttered with nonsense and "flaming".

3. This tutorial is NOT meant for the PRX's but mostly to get this pre-configured package out. Many people have had trouble of using the MPH launcher to create the neccesary files and then using that with the loader.
Tools

You need The MPH loader, UMD EMU, and the flash files.

ALL OF THAT IS INCLUDED HERE IN THIS DOWNLOAD:

Games
To switch PRX files, is easy. I don't want to clutter this thread but SirKillAlot has put together a great guide for switching PRX's in GTA. The same procedure is used for these:
.
Beithell 2000
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example) - if you can't find one, decrypt it. rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

Crash Tag Team Racing
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
Replace the 2.0 kd folder in your flash0 folder with a kd folder out of a 2.5 flash0 folder.
--Thanks nas for the update

Geki Sengoku Mesou
japanese version (Samurai Warriors in US)
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

GTA: LCS
Just follow the steps in the readme of the Loader

Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X
Use the Aenea Decryptor to decrypt the file /PSP_GAME/USRDIR/module_a/rockmana.prx .
Then get the prx files in module dir from another game (Metal Gear: Acid has all required files) and replace them with those.
Everything else just like GTA

Metal Gear Acid 2
method unknown - I guess with prx from another game

Practical Intelligence Quotient
working without any modifications - just load it with the new loader

Socom: Fireteam Bravo
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA
Find yourself a socom savedata, you can only continue a campaign, you cannot start a new campaign!

Super Robot Taisen MX Portable
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

Tokobot
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

World Championship Poker 2
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

Y's Ark Of Naphishtum
Use 1.5 game prx files (from metal gear acid for example). rebuild iso. everything else like GTA

If you are lost somewhere (which is highly unlikely), post it here. Please no "flaming" in the thread, we are all trying to accomplish the same thing.

hey lord, just to make sure... Ys (US) is not working, just the jap version, right?

[mauler]

Wow could it be any simpler? thanks for saving me the trouble! (yeah im a lazy sob) did this for a few people, now i can just direct them here! Mods and Flamers, dont spam and slam this, it will save alot of bandwith here!


Thanks again!:mrgreen:

Great thread Lord.
Generally this is a good thread for beginners/newbie and what its suppose to cover.

Hope that this thread will reduce reposts like "How do I get "game" to work??" threads and gets sticky'd :idea:

Crash & World Championship poker 2 work without decrypting. You do need MphLoader 1.1

[Caprisun]

Stickyed because this is a good guide, files and instructions all in one place, good job Lord

[cardboard]

[nas]

you dont need to change the prx files in dragonballz...you just need to replace your 2.0 kd folder in your flash0 folder with a kd folder out of a 2.5 flash0 folder...and it works without any modification to the iso
