Hi, I have a PSP Street with Pro F3 CFW installed.
I wanted to remap my buttons because my Home button is stuck and it's like I keep pressing it all the time. I'm not able to run any emulator because it keeps opening the menu and I wanted to remap the Home button with a combination of L and R triggers.
The problem is that I'm not able to enter recovery mode because it's not possible to open the relative menu. So to remap buttons I need to enter recovery mode, but to enter recovery mode I need to remove Home button being "pressed".
I've also tried to open the shell removing the home bar ribbon from the motherboard but I have the same issue. I wan hoping to change that component but it seems not to be the cause.

EDIT: right trigger powering on doesn't work
Any suggestion?

I tried but it doesn't work.
I think it's because it's like I'm pressing Rtrigger + Home button (always pressed) at the same time

I would not be the best person to ask about that. I've never opened a psp. I'm trying to think if there's some way to force the recovery menu without any buttons like a default setting or something.

Don't worry, thank you for your time btw.
I was just looking for a way to enter recovery mode in a different way so I can enable plugins like MacroFire and remap controls.
Is there a way to enable MacroFire without entering recovery mode? Or to disable the home button via software?

never heard of a way of disabling the home button. you'd be stuck inside a game unless you powered off. never heard of macrofire.

It'd be helpful if there's a way to open vsh menu in another way. Or finding a solution to enable plugins without entering recovery mode or vsh menu

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.

    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.

    That sounds really cool
