PSP v2.60 HomeBrew - February 5, 2006
The PSP can finally run homebrew games and applications on firmware 2.60. It previously only worked on 1.50 units and on PSPs that were downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. There was minimal support on 2.00+, but with this tutorial most homebew applications should function. We should expect to see a new update very soon from Sony, possibly 2.70 or a minor “security” update to v2.60. If a new update is released, obviously do not update for a while untill information about what exactly it does is available. The homebrew on 2.60 PSPs will be able to run Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Atari Lynx, and many other applications.To run homebrew applications:
- PSP with v2.60 installed
- Memory Card with enough space
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- USB Cable or MS Pro Duo Reader
To install homebrew applications:
- Download “homebrew260.zip” and extract content
- Connect and open media storage device
- Copy contents of GAME & paste them in X:\PSP\GAME\
- Copy folder “ULUS10041S5″ and paste in X:\PSP\SAVEDATA\
- Place all the homebrew application files in GAME
- Start GTA & load profile 5 to get to the homebrew menu
- To quit the homebrew menu just hit the “start” button

Note: At the momment standard homebrew applications can only be run on PSPs with either 1.50 or 2.60. (nothing in between). If you have 2.60 only way to run these apps is with the retail edition of GTA. (not a UMD rip) Also downgrading PSPs can only be downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. (no other combos will work!) P.S. Don’t ask us how to find UMD rips.

THIS IS FOR TRANSLATING JAP TO ENG ROM 4 SNES
Hey sup!
To ART 16. I been working around the clock with few games you been asking about for the snes. The patches are hard i mean very hard to come by. I cannot find the Original source for all games because people don’t code them (HACK). They need of 3 parts for this translation though. 1 for the original game IPS file, 2 the rom itself uncon it all files(editing image), and 3 the hacked version to complete final patch.
Example:
Original rom from jap version
rom.smc (editing Hack source)
dejap.ips (editing Hard part Translating)
convert 2
rom.smc (editing Hacked)
rom.ips (rename to match game)
Final: ROM.IPS FILE created
Use IPSWIN.exe to apply patch within the hacked version rom not the
original rom with jap lang.
confusing? Maybe I didn’t explain correctly who knows but I know what i am doing so maybe worry less and just play it if it works…
I tried editing them to work with the rom but it fails at some point. I am not so sure about patching Jap roms though they are great games with awesome graphics. Some game roms cannot be patched because this will cause bugs but playable sometimes. For now what I really can say is just to work with what you can and let me know what it is you want for what game, roms, or patch file nor TXT. Since this is complicated I will find time to work on it when i get the chance.
update: Currently I can’t find anyone working the patch onto the PSP SNES but yes it does work but after fully patching it with the 3 files needed.
Japan got some FREAKEN awesome games, but too bad they in jap langs.
I hope we find a way through this So much fun with the Jap version converted LOL.
Email me @ sincereguy81@aol.com

ART 16 says
YO rick i sent u a email please email me back
Rick says
ART Hvae you been getting my emails if not check spam folder or block emails…
Remember right now not all games are capable of translating nor the source is hard to find so you just got to wait also if certain game isnt out for patch…
I also email the guy and he cannot help me on this part because he doesnt work on this stuff.
Rick says
I have the translation files for couple games u wanted but the funny thing is patching them sometimes they work and sometimes error. I also wanted you all to know I can only do this on my time so please dont wait on me for files or patches…
