Hacking [WIP] PSP injection

[AxlSt00pid]

Who could've guessed PaRappa would open the PSP-injection gates on PS4
Good job and good luck to all guys involved in this project

can the replacement be an ISO? Or does it have to be an IMG?

 

[Stayhye]

I've only gotten bust-a-move-ghost to work. Out of 20+ isos....all others either black screen or boot to first load screen then freeze.

Stupid question, but since a PSP can play PSX games by converting them into EBOOT files, couldn't you do the same thing to get them working on a PS4?

Rename your iso to USER_L0.IMG and replace.

Locoroco 1 and 2, Patapon 1 should work with minor fixes due to these being officially remastered for PS4 by $ony.

how does one do this?

Grab parappa pkg, open with pub-chk all 0's, comment out cfg, swap user_l0.img (iso renamed), repkg with pub-gen, install.

thanks man but gosh it's not clear to me what you mean by some of this like I think I understand. sigh. This is why I make my video tuts ya know? I'm gonna try and see if i understand and give it a shot...

well my first problem is when I open pub check i seemed to have an option of open image or drive i chose image and well my pc really locked up advice?

renaming iso is not required. Just edit "image" in config-emu-ps4.txt to the path and name of your iso.

ok got that sorted i had to use a partition on my pc to do the extraction i had tried usb so i am making progress let's see what happens.

renaming iso is not required. Just edit "image" in config-emu-ps4.txt to the path and name of your iso.

Making minimal changes keeps this noob proof.

I personally have altered a lot more than this and obvs the iso name and source.

 

[Deleted User]

i see so your saying match iso to config as opposed to config to iso but in theory this is arbitrary?

what is meant by "comment out cfg" what file are you referring to? I did search of .cfg in my extracted folder found no match?

ohhhh you mean "config-emu-ps4"?

 

[Stayhye]

any options for config file found by hexing the emulator like they did for the ps2 emu?

 

[Deleted User]

so like quick question how would i not overwrite my parappa install or make custom pics? I tried just using new images for icon0 and pic0 and pic1 but it complained about my format? Any ideas?

cant figure out how I switch the pics or make a pkg with a different name so I don't overwrite parappa but just played loco rocco and had a blast! Wow super cool. Thanks for all the help!

If having issues, convert images to jpg, then back to png, jpg = 24bit auto.

Edit game id in sfo to change it from parappa and install multiple.
