Thanks for the guide. I'm patching KH:BBS. The EBOOT.BIN decrypted fine, but I got this error while trying to decrypt BBS1/2/3.DAT
QUOTE said:
Decrypting ms0:/enc/BBS1.DAT to ms0:/enc/done/BBS1.DAT
Input buffer allocation failure (tried to allocate 209231504 bytes)
Decrypting ms0:/enc/BBS2.DAT to ms0:/enc/done/BBS2.DAT
Input buffer allocation failure (tried to allocate 209699504 bytes)
Decrypting ms0:/enc/BBS3.DAT to ms0:/enc/done/BBS3.DAT
Input buffer allocation failure (tried to allocate 209462384 bytes)

Any help?

Sure, decrypting BBS1.DAT, BBS2.DAT and BBS3.DAT is done with a different program. I'll add it up in the first post.

You need dnas decryptor. It goes in \PSP\GAME\dnas on your PSP memory stick.

Put BBS1.DAT, BBS2.DAT and BBS3.DAT in the root of your memory stick.

Run dnas decryptor. If it gives you a black screen, don't be worried -- it can take as long as 10 minutes to complete. When finished, it will put you back to the XMB automatically.

When it's finished, you'll have BBS1_DEC.DAT, BBS2_DEC.DAT and BBS3_DEC.DAT in the root of your memory stick.

Rename them to BBS1.DAT, BBS2.DAT and BBS3.DAT.

Use UMDGen to put them back in your ISO at \PSP_GAME\USRDIR.

Edit: I've linked the decryptor in the first post for you.

I didn't say so earlier but on reflection i just want to add that this is a great guide...clean and simple and cuts through all the Engrish ones that have circulated from Google Translate et al. I know some people think i'm a sourpus so i just wanted to spread the love...

I see that God_Eater_JPN_PSP-Caravan works with this tutorial.
Was wondering if this will work with God Eater US version?

Well then why are you posting here? You should be calling a psychic 900 number and ask them. Maybe they'll give you some lottery numbers and the date+time of the next major earthquake so you can warn people.

God Eater is not 100%
dont let it sit at the title screen playing the music - when it gets done it crashes & shuts-down the psp.
i assume the original would play a demo or loop back to the intro again.

it is fine if you start the game & play it though.

Are you sure Prometheus works with Prince of Persia? I for the life of me can't get it to work, and it doesn't look like I'm the only one.

FWIW ModNation Racers works fine with the original EDecrypt method without Prometheus -- at least as far as I tested.
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I heard that others got it to run with the original EDecrypt method but the face icons on the mini-map appeared corrupted when playing.

Edit:
Okay, so I followed the steps of this guide to try to get ModNation Racers working, but eDecrypt said that libfont.prx was not encrypted.
All the rest went as described and the game does run, but there is some graphical corruption. The icons for characters and karts are all corrupted, and the faces on the left side of the race screen are corrupted too.

take god eater,
decrypt the eboot.bin.
rename it to eboot.old
put it back together with the prometheus.prx & eboot

replace the libfont.prx with one from an older game.


then it works

Updated tools to include Prometheus v0.2. If you were having trouble with Prince of Persia, use the same instructions with the Prometheus v0.2 files instead.

Have fun playing.

Soooooo.... does this work with GEN C?

But anyway. XD;; I just got a hang of the plugin method and now this comes along since the last time I came online? I'll give this a shot eventually... we'll see what works with the english versions of KH and GE.

Ah dam just found out that Modnation Racers needs a code to play online (like Fireteam Bravo 3)

So you can get the game playing and play through the Single player campaign and have some local fun but no online so no sharing stuff

EDIT: Hmm do you guys reackon that this method would work with the demo of Modnation Racers?
