I've followed the guides on here for the soft hack and it all went smoothly until I try to run either of the two PS1 titles i've previously DL'd from the PS Store.

I'm getting the 80020148 game could not be started error.

Can someone advise what action I need to take to sort this?

It's due to the update process and license handling. You need to bite the bullet and redownload/transfer the games to your PSP....if you haven't already set up Media Go now might be a good time so that you can download the games to your PC and then retransfer whenever, rather than directly downloading to your PSP

Thanks, I have MediaGo. If I redownload from the store and manually drag the files to the PSP they should work?

Media Go needs to transfer the files to your PSP so that the license goes too, so you'd use that rather than drag and dropping.

Done that but it tells me I need to update device before the file will transfer, but, of course I don't wanna do this otherwise the hack will be lost?

I think you need to change version.txt or usbversion.txt or spoof it to 6.60. Need confirmation on this, as I've never really done it. But hey, it's an idea.

target:1:WorldWide

Yeah stick that in version.txt in the seplugins folder on your memory stick, see if it works after a restart of the PSP.

Ok so if I create said folder in the root, what then? It's be empty surely...

EDIT: Create a text file and save it in that folder...doh! Answered my own question!

Create a folder and name it seplugins. Inside it, create a text file and name it version.txt. Open version.txt and copy/paste what Rydian said:

Code:
release:6.60:
build:5455,0,3,1,0:builder@vsh-build6
system:57716@release_660,0x06060010:

EDIT: ninja'd :ninja:

No cigar i'm afraid.

Is there a way to disable the update function in Media Go? Or converting the PKG file to an ISO?

On the subject of ISO's, do you think i'll have similar problems with actual PSP ISO's that I try to run?

There is a homebrew called npdecrypter which removes the psn license from downloaded content. I think it will solve your troubles. You will have to google it as I don`t know how to insert links.

did you enable "use version.txt in seplugins" (or something similar) in the recovery menu?

Actual ISOs don't have this issue, it's stuff downloaded from the PSN that needs activation info stored in the flash.

Can you re-download them through the PSN on the PSP itself?

I've tried re-downloading with the PSP itself and it's giving me the same error message.

Obviously I don't wanna upgrade through Media Go to OFW as this defeats the object of installing the CFW in the first place.

Out of interest, where on the memory stick do I need to put any ISO's that I pick up?

With that 6.60 version.txt file within your newly created seplugins folder, and the version.txt option enabled in the Recovery Menu (bring up the VSH menu by pushing select on the XMB when PRO is enabled) you'll see that the System Info reads your faked version for your PRO firmware. Once it reads this Media Go won't need to update and you can transfer freely.

So..

In recovery menu, enable version.txt
Exit back to the XMB
Hit select to see the VSH menu...

Now, should I be seeing something specific in this menu or should I go to System Settings > System Information cos when I do it's still showing up as 6.20 PRO..

Sorry people, i'm completely new to this so bear with me lol

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
