Psp Iso

[suprafreak6]

How can i make the dumb psp iso's i download smaller im stuck on that, i have a 512 mb card most should fit on there but its way to big someone please help...ive tried a couple things but didnt work

[Spicker]

get a 1gb stick.

Problem Solved.

[silent h3ro]

A rip of the game might get released for it. Forgot to tell u that on AIM. @ Spicker- he doesnt have the money right now for a gig stick....

[suprafreak6]

yeah i dont have a job yet but i know there is multiple ways rip it but i dont know the good ones, i tired a couple ppl said worked on the iso but it didnt work

[Rip The Jacker]

Ok, here's what you do...

1. Open the ISO with IsoBuster/WinRAR. Extract everything into a folder.

2. Look in PSP_GAME/SYSDIR for a folder called UPDATE, delete this folder. It'll make the ISO around 15MB smaller.

3. Look in PSP_GAME/USRDIR for pad0.pad or pad1.pad. These are dummy files used to stretch out the game's content to the edge of the UMD, so load times are faster. The pad files are really big most of the time. Removing the pad files does nothing to the actual game, and since your playing off your memory stick, they are unneeded.

You can't delete them, you have to replace them. Delete pad0.pad and pad1.pad from the folder. Open a blank notepad file, save it as pad0.pad and another as pad1.pad. Now you should have the dummy files, only they are 0kb instead of 500-700mb.

4. Download UMDGen http://www.umdgen.com. Open it, drag everything into the UMDGen window, and click on File > Export ISO. This'll make a fresh new PSP compatable ISO file... now without the Update and dummy files.

------

I know it seems like a lot of work, but it takes 10 minutes really. I downloaded Need for Speed Most Wanted yesterday... removed the update and dummy files. The ISO went from 850MB to 180MB! :D

NFS Most Wanted is a pretty damn good game for being under 200MB. :D

[silent h3ro]

God I can't wait to get my 2 gig stick....

[suprafreak6]

hahahahha rip i did that right before u posted accept i tried a different method after a while of fooling around but i was trying to get the same game to work, we should play some time PM me if you want to play

i need to get a 1gb stick now!

[AxSr89]

I need help!!!!!!! Alright I'm getting a Version 2.0 or 1.5 PSP next week. I have already bought Need for Speed and I downloaded it as well. How do I put it onto the PSP? Can someone either e-mail me or instant message me at AxSr89 and explain how to do this? Thank you.

PS. I already got the .iso part down.

This is about the same way to rebuild games for ps2 that are too bid to fit on 1 dvd-r.
Is there a list of games that need to,or can be rebuilt for the psp?

[suprafreak6]

nope but games with pad files are usually the best to do it with

[silent h3ro]

I thought all games had pad files. Does anyone know how big GTA: LCS is after removing the pad files?

[Rip The Jacker]

Almost all PSP games have .pad files, not all, but most.

@GameGuy
It doesn't really matter... it's not possible to play GTA on a 1.5 PSP yet. :(

@GameGuy
It doesn't really matter... it's not possible to play GTA on a 1.5 PSP yet. :(2.0 firmware doesnt have a UMD loader yet?

[AxSr89]

nope... but I heard that there is some sort of files that make your PSP detect a 2.0 update even though you only have a 1.5, so you can play Socom and GTA... if anyone has any information about this please tell :shifty:

There is no way to play Socom or GTA on your 1.50 PSP YET!

@GameGuy

@AxSr89
The SXT Version Changer tricks your PSP into thinking it's either 2.0, or 7.5 (:P). This works for almost all games, EXEPT GTA or Socom.

1. It's impossible to play ISO's on 2.0.
2. It's impossible to play GTA/Socom on 1.5.
EDIT: As of right now...

So it's either homebrew, or newer PSP games, take your pick...

[silent h3ro]

2. It's impossible to play GTA/Socom on 1.5. 2 of the best games for the PSP right now... :frusty:

[Rip The Jacker]

Yeah... that's what sucks...

There is a lot of progress though... people discovered a way to run The Hustle and Pro Evolution Soccer on 1.5 PSP's. Both games require 2.0. We are one step closer to playing GTA on 1.5 PSP's. :)

[suprafreak6]

it will get there eventually
im waiting for it also

[silent h3ro]

I just upgraded to 2.6 firmware and I don't know y. :)

[Rip The Jacker]

Now why'd you do that? =/

2.6 = no homebrew. :(

[imasoldier]

Man Iv'e have 1.5 for the longest time and REALLY? I wasn't to happy with it, the main site was pspupdates.com they have the latest homebrew etc. Nothing was al that good. I mean yea roms are great and all I liked all Mario games and Zelda games but I kinda get bored and feal I need to get with the time. Iv'e been waiting for one of the homebrews I can't remember the name but it's supposed to be a OS, Only thing that kept me from waiting so long and I gave on it. So I just updated and I like the new browser going to "buy" yea I usually download my games but I think it's time to give up some money to the GTA people. :) After that ima get Guild wars for the PC. But since im in the game subject everone has to download or BUY F.E.A.R almost the greatest game of all time.

[TuBBz]

Just got a psp for my gf for xmas present

Can anyone suggest a good platform game? (crash bandicoot type)

[maebach]

I wnna get one (gigapack) but I don't know if I will use it.

But since im in the game subject everone has to download or BUY F.E.A.R almost the greatest game of all time.I would say Halo is the best game of all time... :P Anyways I did the same as you because of that same reason but GTA runs on v2.0 firmware and you can still run homebrew on 2.0 PSPs so kinda sucks for you... I was going to exchange my PSP because I have a 2 year warrenty on it and it has a bunch of scraches on it but since it has dead pixels in the screen neways, they will let me return it and it should be back to 2.0 firmware (I hope). :rolleyes:

[maebach]

Is the PSP Gigapack worth $320?

[Rip The Jacker]

Well I payed $250 for the PSP value pack, and $110 for a 1GB Sandisk memory stick. So $320 for the PSP with the 1GB memory stick seems like a good deal.

But then again, it comes with a Sony card, and from what I've read, the Sandisk cards are much faster.

The PSP kicks ass if you know what to do with it...

[maebach]

PSp master?

I don't know if I should get one, the main games I'll play would be Fifa06, Liberty City, Socom and 1 or 2 more. I just don't want to regret it after a few weeks.

[suprafreak6]

you may regret it in like a few months theres a limit on how portable and how much time you have while in the car and what not, but i mean when your at home its all about 360 or pc

[Rip The Jacker]

Whoops, forgot to change that. It went along with my older signature.

But yeah, like suprafreak6 said, you might regret it later. It depends, it's awesome when you go to places a lot and have nothing to do. If you sit at home all day, well, I dunno you could get something to go with your TV...

If you sit at home all day, well, I dunno you could get something to go with your TV...Yea I kind of regret mine but I still do a little traveling in the car where I could use it. Only get it if u know for sure you are gonna use it because it costs a lot for games, the memory stick, battery brick (if needed), ect.

[Rip The Jacker]

So far all the games have been free for me. :P

But yeah, the memory stick, that cost a pretty penny...

[maebach]

I go travelling a few times a year. then I should save for a 360 then?

[suprafreak6]

i would guess so, where you travel distant lands across the galaxy? or like a few blocks over to mcdonalds

[maebach]

omfg, I need help trying to play fifa 06. I cant find the iso file. Im a noob at this. god. its frustrating.

[maebach]

can someone run me through how to play downloaded games?

[silent h3ro]

U need a UMD loader and a 1.5 firmware PSP...

[suprafreak6]

ill help you if u got both of those, nice new sig maebach

[Spicker]

maebach is a complete n00b.

he extractedthe iso file :| he didnt know that iso files were shown in "winrar" icons. and if that isnt bad enough he couldnt read the dam umdemulator readme.

even LP can figure this out....

[suprafreak6]

lol

[maebach]

I read the readme and did what it said. Then when looking on forums, some guy said to put the iso folder in the game folder so I did. Now I've got it work mostly except I'm at the emulator menu and when I click 'Fifa 2006' it freezes.

[maebach]

I even used the nfo to change the settings in teh menu to what it says. now when I click on the fifa 2006 now, it goes back to the psp menu.

[Spicker]

put a movie or a game in to the umd drive and then select "direct load" in umd emulator make sure the settings are correct....

man RTM!

[Rip The Jacker]

I even used the nfo to change the settings in teh menu to what it says. now when I click on the fifa 2006 now, it goes back to the psp menu.
I'm assuming your using System Menu emulation. Well, that's supposed to happen. It tricks your PSP into thinking that Fifa is the UMD inserted. So it takes you back to the menu, then you go to Game > UMD. Make sure you have a UMD inserted, any UMD.

[suprafreak6]

hes using the one that came with the psp

[maebach]

There's another problem, when I finish a game or challenge, it freezes. It says (after the match) 'continue' or 'match facts'. I go to continue and nothing happens. I waited for 10 mins and still nothing happened. So, I have to press 'home' and quit the game to go back to the main menu. What's causing this?

[maebach]

I cant find an answer to the Fifa problem. So, I've been playing Burnout and it's amazing fun. Can the FIfa game be corrupt?

[Rip The Jacker]

If your playing Burnout with UMDEmulator and it's working fine, maybe your Fifa ISO is corrupt, or incompatable with UMDEmulator...

[maebach]

I says in the fifa readme that it works with umd emulator 0.8c, which I'm using.

[Spicker]

try playing some other game and see if u get the same problem or not.

[maebach]

ok. I'll try LOTr tactics

[maebach]

Fifa06 = Can't quit games. After playing a game, even online, I cannot quit to the Fifa 06 menu. I have to press home and quit game.

Burnout Legends = Works perfectly/ no problems yet.

LOTR Tactics = Didn't come with a readme giving instructions/settings. I try using the fifa/burnout settings and I get 'The game could not be started (FFFFFED3)'

[silent h3ro]

Burnout is the best of all of those games ne ways, imo.

[maebach]

I dont know why LOTr wont work, anybody got any ideas?

[silent h3ro]

It sucks.. I really wouldn't bother with it.

[maebach]

I like LOTR stuff though :lookaroun

[Spicker]

I like LOTR stuff though :lookaroun
u dumbass u dont change the setting for each game


leave it on DIRECT LOAD

and make sure everything is properly setup and thats it, cant belive it takes this long for u to figure something out :lol:

[maebach]

I got burnoout to work by myself :snooty:

[maebach]

I tried, and LOTr still didn't work, it gets to the credits/copyright screen then shuts off.

[Rip The Jacker]

Harsh. =/

@maebach
From what I remember there were problems with almost all of the LOTR ISO's... it's odd your ISO didn't come with instructions/nfo, let me do some research...

[maebach]

also, with pspvideo9, I tried converting a chappelle stand-up show, and it only converted 18 minutes of the show. Is there a cap to how long the video can be?

[Doba]

I didn't read this whole thread, but here is something I found to make the .iso smaller. It is called a ripkit. Pretty easy to use. It just rips out shit you don't need in the original .iso.

[suprafreak6]

did it help?

[silent h3ro]

Anyone remember how u can tell what version firmware the psp is from looking at the box? I going to switch my psp for atleast a 2.o firmware because mine currently has 2.6 and I want my emulators back.
