Hacking Adrenaline 6.61 PSP EBOOT.PBP with npdrm_free plugin help needed

Tomtani1 · Feb 19, 2019

I used nopaystation v.94 browser to download PSP games using pkg2zip v2.1 with -x -p {pkgFile} "{zRifKey}" to get the PSP EBOOT.PBP. I put the npdrm_free.prx plugin in the ux0: pspemu/seplugins/ folder. I also created two text files vsh.txt and game.txt and put them in the same ux0: pspemu/seplugins/ folder each with the following text ux0:/seplugins/npdrm_free.prx 1. I then verify that the Adrenaline VSH recovery menu show the npdrm_free.prx plugin for VSH and GAME currently Enabled.

When I try to run the PSP game I get the following error message "The game could not be started (80010087). I have tried many PSP and PSP minis EBOOT.PBP games and they all give me the same error message.

Note: I have a Vita 3.68 with h-encore. PSP iso and cso files work just fine. I also have the nonpdrm.skprx in my ux0: plugins/ folder.

Any particular reason for using nopaystation over pkgj?
Direct download, and no need to mess with text configs.

nopaystation browser download is a lot faster than pkgj.

True, but it seems irrelevant if you then waste hours trying to (unsuccessfully) get the games to work.

You're doing it wrong.

Regardless of which mountpoint .../pspemu is, seplugins should ALWAYS read out as:
ms0:/seplugins/pluginname.prx

You are playing in the PSP sandbox now, after all.

SeongGino, thank you for helping me out. Your advice worked. I updated the vsh.txt and game.txt files to have the following line "ms0:/seplugins/npdrm_free.prx 1".

I was following the Youtube video NpDrm_free Adrenaline by David Black and he was using "ux0:/seplugins/npdrm_free.prx 1" instead of the correct "ms0:/seplugins/npdrm_free.prx 1".

I am still learning. Thank you for your help.

I now have the npdrm_free.prx plugin working for (PSP, Minis, PSX and NeoGeo) EBOOT.PBP games running in Adrenalines 6.6.1.

I still need help getting PC Engines (Turbografx 16) EBOOT.PBP running. All I get is a message "NOW LOADING".

Note: I am using the nopaystation v.94 browser to download PC Engines EBOOT.PBP games.

Using PC Engine EBOOT.PBP downloaded from nopaystation v.94 browser does not work on my PS Vita because it is missing the sce_sys folder. I now got it working. I used PKGJ with "Install PSP games as EBOOT files" enabled. I downloaded the PC Engine EBOOT.PBP game from PKGJ and it worked.

Excellent! That was the answer we needed. Now PC Engime games installed from PKGj work for me. Thanks!
Excelente! Esa era la respuesta que necesitábamos. Ahora sí me funcionan los juegos de PC Engime instalados desde PKGj. Gracias!
