well, like I said i'm still a noob on PSP hacking ( I got this PSP last week), so i still don't know how to use the Isotool. But thanks for the hint, I'll read more about Isotool and try this^^

really, thanks ^^

well... i tried this with megaman and with Final Fantasy tactics (worked fine with prom and with POR-A2) and it didin't worked

it freezes on a black screen with this on the top left corner:

ms0:/iso/Mega Man Maverick Hunter X.cso
NP9660 Mode
ms0:/psp/system/pil_v2


and i tried using the r trigger and didn't changed the driver mode

did you by any chance download the wrong version of isotools, or not deinstall pro-a properly?
isotools versions below 1.964 have a bug on the 9g that won't properly copy the loaders when generating icons and that's pretty much what the result looks like.

yes. that's the "apply version patch" question when you decrypt the eboot using iso tools.
if the xmb icons aren't working, try decrypting the isos that give yo trouble under pro-a and then try loading them in pro-a again.

Having some trouble here. Just bought a brand new PSP 3000 running 6.35. Currently loading ISOs through Pro-A3, but I get an error whenever I start a game that there is not enough memory to save a save-file. The game works, but I'd like to save my progress. I'm using a 4GB stick with 2gb free. The internal memory should be free as well. I tried loading through ISO tool as well, no dice. Tried making an EBOOT of the ISO, I get to a screen that says
"ms0:/iso/THUG2REMIX.iso
NP9660 mode
ms0:/psp/system/pil_v2/"

I tried putting the pil_v2 folder from the iso tool's main folder into that directory, but the game still won't boot. Any thoughts? I only bought a new PSP so I could play THUG 2 Remix again. Thanks in advance!

I can't even get ISO Tool to run with Pro-A3. Whenever I select it from the XMB my PSP just hangs at a black screen and then shuts off. I had to run it using the Everybody's Sukkiri savegame exploit with 6.35 PRO.

Do I need to decrypt even if it's an old 2.XX game like Tony Hawk? And for the process of patching, does that mean I need to patch prometheus_v4, decrypt the eboot, and then make the XMB-icon?

Thanks for your help.

pro-a is kinda sucky in its current form, yeah.

a) use the signed 6.35 pro hen eboot. less of a hassle and time waster than using the savegame exploit.
b) just select decrypt eboot from the isotools menu and then say yes when it asks you whether you want to apply the version patch.
c) if it isn't running, decrypting and patching doesn't cost much time and might help, no matter how old the game is.

Ok, I loaded 6.35 Pro HEN using the signed eboot. In ISO Tools I followed your instructions. After it finished a bunch of Japanese characters appeared on the screen and I hit X. Then I quit ISO Tools.

From there I didn't see the ISO on the XMB so I went back to ISO Tools and created the XMB Icon. Then I quit and went to load the game. It still hangs on the same screen I had before and then crashes:

"ms0:/ISO/THUG2REMIX.iso
NP9660 mode
ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/PIL_v2/"

I rebooted my PSP and checked what was in the /PSP/SYSTEM/ folder. I now have a file called "ISOCACHE.BIN", and two folders called PIL_v1 and PIL_v2. I can't seem to figure out why my copy of THUG2 works fine in Pro-A3, but not with the eboot created with ISO Tools.

Thanks again for helping me, I really appreciate it. I used to be a pro at this kinda stuff a few years back. I had a PSP 1000 running 3.32 M33 or something like that until the analogue stick crapped out on me. I'm slowly getting back into the whole PSP scene now.

    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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.
