Hacking Help needed with Vita Launcher App and PSP/PSX games

[bubble51]

Hi,

is there a step-by-step tutorial how to get the PSP/PSX games work from the PS Vita Launcher app? I've managed to create a bubble with bubble manager just for testing purposes. But when I launch this bubble I constantly get the c1-2758-2-error. Same with Launcher app. The titles are shown but I cannot launch them from the app (same error!).

But: When I boot up to adrenaline and launch the games from there, everything works fine.

Help is pretty much appreciated, since im a total noob in PS Vita.

Regards

P.S. I'm on 3.60, PS TV and I've installed the latest versions of Adrenaline, Bubble Manager and Adrenaline Launcher (at least I think so :-)

For PSP games and PS1 eboots you indeed use Adrenaline.

There is also Retroarch for PS1 games but is not worth it on the Vita, save for very specific games that refuses to work otherwise.

Try the guide here:

Adrenaline works fine when I launch it. And the PSP games wok fine if I launch them while I'm inside of Adrenaline.
My prob is launching the PSP games via bubble from live area or via PS Vita Launcher app. I can see the app "Adrenaline Launcher" starting but then I get the c1-2758-2 error.
The linked guide shows how to install Adrenaline. But I did this already and it's working...

You have to launch the games inside Adrenaline, is an emulator, is the whole point. That's like saying you want to play a console game without the console or something rlse to run it with.

If you want to make shortcuts to specific games to be opened with Adrenaline that's a different thing.

Don't use the launcher app if you can help it, it has problems with some things.

You can rearrange your apps so Adrenaline is one of the first things you see on your Vita if you want.

I know Adrenaline is some kind of emulation. And I know that it have to be launched If I wanna play PSP games.

THIS is what I'm talking about: h(t)tps://gbatemp.net/threads/release-vita-launcher-app-to-launch-games-and-apps.574644/

With this app I can launch PSP games directly from the app. So I don't have to start Adrenaline manually and fumble the game out of this cumbersome cross-media-bar. I can arrange my games, categorize them, mark them as favourites and so on. And I KNOW it is working in conjunction with BubbleManager and AdrenalineLauncher. But not for me....
Therefore I did this test with BubbleManager and AdrenalineLauncher for testing purpose. I can add a bubble to live area (including correct PSP game icon) and when I launch the bubble AdrenalineLauncher (the app) is launched. So it IS possible to launch PSP games without launching the Adrenaline Emulator, because the AdrenalineLauncher is doing this for you...

There is even a video from the programmer of PS Vita Launcher that shows how to configure for PSP games. But it doesn't work for me...
THX for your support though!

The problem is that you are using three apps at the same time, so things are more likely to crash. Add the fact one of the apps is an emulator and no wonder you are having problems. Make sure to check the apps release notes and bugs. Make sure you have the latest steble version of the Apps. Make sure your firmware is not the one causing trouble. Unless you are on 3.60 or 3.65 you don't have a permanent hack, and in those cases 3 apps open is gonna cause trouble.

Edit: Try to reinstall all three apps with EasyVPK.

I've found the SOLUTION:

Moving the usbmc-plugin to first position and re-installing AdrenalineBubbleBooter did the trick for me.
I've seen the clue with the usbmc-plugin multiple times while discussing other issues but I've never thought about the reason why.

In my case bubblebooter is installed on ux0 and is only reachable if and after the usb-plugin has mounted the usb hdd. So the order of the plugins was crucial.
