PCSP — the PSP emulator written in C++ — just got updated to version 0.3.0. And wow, talk about an update. Emulating the PSP has never looked so smooth with these graphic engine (GE) improvements. Not only that — Silverfall, the first level is now playable — other titles now render textures better and often times you can get into the first stage of gameplay. Then again, many games crash and aren’t playable at all.

UDB v3 is the front-end; the fancy UI that lets you select, preview and load games, etc. It was recently updated too.

Ya’ll like Counter-Strike? Well here it is for your PSP… Only this one isn’t by Valve, it’s from Kevin Chen; and it’s not a first-person shooter, it’s a top-down shooter. But get this: it’s multiplayer — infrastructure style! Yessir. Get online and blast the opposing force away.

We got the version 1.7 change log, even though it’s our first time covering CSPSP, and the download right after this…

Just take a look at that! Engadget said it via their “trusted source” — Sony Ericsson to introduce Android 3.0 gaming platform and PSPgo-like smartphone. No rumours, straight fact. Perhaps it would have another look perhaps not but the fact remains (Engadget’s mockup):

All right, all right… Liquidzigong sharing the love for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 (non-TA088v3) owners: no more tedious ISO patching. That’s right. You’ll need to be running CFW 5.50 GEN-D3; D2 may be compatible. Try it and leave a comment below. And no, before you even ask — this will not work with Half Byte Loader or PSPgo models.

 

Install 5.50 Prometheus by simply copying the extracted archive directory to ms0:/PSP/GAME and running it from the XMB, like any other homebrew. The required files to run 6.20-required games will be copied to the appropriate spot and then you’re all set. Call it 5.50 Prometheus or 5.50 GEN-D4.

Add to the list of what psardumper dumps & decrypts are PSPgo modules from firmware updates 5.70 to 6.20. You can thank coyotebean for finding these kernel keys. And before you ask: no — this does not mean ISOs for PSPgo. It’s for educational purposes and more the reverse engineering type. It’s a good thing. It opens the door to manipulating and customizing your VSH/XMB… things like that.

Description:
Takka's PSP ISO Tool. Decrypt EBOOT.BIN game files, repack ISOs, and/or convert ISOs to CSO format. All from the PSP itself.

Liquidzigong has cracked key tag 0?2e5e10f0. This key is commonly found in PBOOT.PBP files. Say what—PBOOT.PBP files?! Yeah PBOOT.PBP files are game patches. Now you can decrypt whatever patch, apply it to the appropriate game, and continue on keeping on.

How:

   1. Open the PBOOT.PBP file using PBP Unpacker or some similar tool.
   2. Unpack/extract DATA.PSP and PARAM.SFO.
   3. Rename DATA.PSP — which is usually encrypted with 0?2e5e10f0 — to EBOOT.BIN.
   4. Copy EBOOT.BIN to ms0:/enc and run PSPCipher like any other homebrew.
   5. Open your game ISO with WQSG_UMD.
   6. Replace EBOOT.BIN with the newly decrypted EBOOT. (If you’re using Prometheus then name it EBOOT.OLD.)
   7. Replace PARAM.SFO with the one from PBOOT.PBP.
   8. Save your ISO and try it out.
