New - Help Please !

Morning All

Firstly, apologies if these questions have been answered before.  I've had a good look around the site, but some (ok most) of it has passed me by!

I found a load of Amiga game files on an old PC yesterday, and would really like to get them working on my PSP.  So here's the issue.

I've got a PSP 1003, I donwloaded PSPUAE 0.72 and installed as instructed.  I got my kickstart roms and placed them where they should go, but i keep getting an error message ("Game could not be loaded").  I've not done anything to the PSP, so my asumption is that i've either got the wrong kick roms, or i need to do something else to make it run !

Can anyone offer any help ?  I'm brand new to this, so any pointers as to where i'm going wrong would be really really appreciated.

Thanks very much.

the phat psp is my expertise (or was) if you have a friend with a cracked psp you can make a pandora battery with a magic memory stick, if not you can always buy it online...

Sounds like i'm in the right place then, thanks.

I've checked the firmware and it's 4.05.  Would be grateful for next steps.

When i run the app, the error i get is "The game could not be started" (8002014C)...If this helps at all !

Cheers

Right, first thing you need is Custom Firmware. At the moment, you have Official Firmware, and you cant run emulators on it.

As karol said, you need to buy a pandora Memorystick and battery.
Once you have that, you can install what ever FW you want.

[macca72]

Cool, i'll get hold of one.

Any recommendations where to buy from ?

No need for a Pandora Battery. If you want to get one I suggest using DealExtreme. They have free shipping and are reliable - but they are slow.

All you need:
- Memory Stick
- Battery charged to more than 76%

I will guide you through loading 5.50 GEN-D3 on a PSP using the latest TIFF exploit - ChickHEN.

Instructions:

--NOTE-- If your PSP is anything below firmware 5.03 official, you will need to update to 5.03. Use this file. Place in /PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ and run -- http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1645

1) Download this file, it will have everything you need for the following -- HERE

2a) Assuming you have 5.03 official firmware already installed you must now load ChickHEN. Go into the ChickHEN folder of the file you just downloaded. Copy h.bin to the root (ms0:/) of your PSP.



2b) If you have a fat (PSP-100x) then copy the image inside the FAT folder to the memory stick under /PSP/PHOTO/. If you have a slim (PSP-200x) then copy everything inside the SLIM folder to the memory stick under /PSP/PHOTO/

3a) Go into the 5-50_GEND3 folder and copy 550.PBP to the root of the memory stick.

3b) Copy the UPDATE folder to /PSP/GAME/



4) It's time to load ChickHEN, so unplug your PSP.

4a) If you have a Fat PSP, go over to the Photo section of your PSP and scroll down to the .tiff image. The screen should blank out then flash green, showing that ChickHEN has loaded. The PSP will then reboot.

4b) If you have a Slim PSP, first make sure that your theme is the original theme, or ChickHEN won't work as well. To do this, scroll over to Settings > Theme Settings and change the Theme to Original. Once you've done this, go over to the Photo section, wait 2 seconds then scroll through the color images until the PSP flashes green and reboots.



5) Scroll over to System Settings > System Information and check that next to System Software it says "5.03 ChickHEN R2". If it doesn't say this then you will need to try and load ChickHEN again. It may take a few times to work, in fact it took me 6 tries to get it to work when I was writing this guide. If you are having trouble loading ChickHEN, make sure there is no UMD in the drive, the USB cable is unplugged, there are no other photos in the Photo section apart from the ChickHEN files and maybe restore default settings under System Settings. [If you are struggling with ChickHEN, read this note BEFORE asking for help]

6) Assuming that ChickHEN has loaded, scroll over to GAME and open up the 5.50 GEN-D3 updater

7) Choose to enter, then choose Flash Install CFW 5.50 GEN-D3. Wait as the installer flashes 5.50 GEN-D3, then press X to reboot when prompted.



When your PSP reboots, you'll have the latest Custom Firmware (5.50 GEN-D3). Enjoy!
