Please help me as I am stupid!! I am trying to downgrade I have the eboot and the mph but cant get it to do it. I get a message saying that I do not need to upgrade to 1.5 as I have the ver 2.0 also the instructions are confusing me (as I said I am stupid) they say plug the ac adapter, but surely it s already plugged in so I can get in the menus?? the picture that goes in photos seems to be a little lac square which doesnt show in the photo section of the psp menu also I cant see where index.dat is either!!!? HELP
OK, first thign to do is put the files "index.bat" and "h.bin" on teh root directory of you memory stick. Then take the file "overflow.tif" and put it in the following directory, where ms0 represents whatever drive letter you memory stick is:
ms0:\PSP\PHOTO
Then make sure you have the 1.5 EBOOT file and put it in the following folder:
mso:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE
Now you're ready to start. The easiest way for you to understand is to see it visually. Go to www.psphacking101.com to the download section. They have these "episodes" they produce. Episode V is about the downgrade and they will show exactly how it should work. This video helped me understand it much better and get things right on the first try. Good luck.
Ok I did that, Now I have a new problem, I bought some discs with backup movies on it but I cant et them to work, the psp9 converter opens the files but they are empty but another program (which I cant find again) said that they are full of data. I have tried putting them straight into the root subfolder that I created but the psp says that they are not there! Does any one know of a straight forward tutorial that might help me with this? Thanks
Make a distinction between root and MP_ROOT.
root: ms0:\
mprt: ms0:\MP_ROOT
you put movies ms0:\MP_ROOT\100MNV01
you put your downgrader files in ms0:\ (the h.bin etc. the overflow.tif goes in photos. The image is run, reset, then the update is run.)
Movies will not play unless they are in the right directory and named a certain way. They MUST be in the following directory:
ms0:\MP_ROOT\100MNV01
Those are zeros, not o's.
The files have must be named this way and must be encoded as MPEG4:
M4V00000.MP4
You can change the numbers at the end to suit your needs like:
M4V00001.MP4, M4V00002.MP4, or M4V00321.MP4, etc...
The file name has to have the same amount of digits though.
