Ok, just to clear up, if i install HEN C and ever find a guide explaining DevHook well, and install it too, then i can run VCS off the UMD?

And if i choose to upgrade anytime in the future, my PSP won't brick or crap-out in the process?

 

Done&Done. Ill be getting VCS on Friday, hopefully we'll have found out how to play it through the UMD by then.

The video COULD be a fake. I don't think it is.

 

I managed to get GTA VCS UMD to work doing this trick on my PSP.

I had to install 2.71SE-B for this, which I think is the FW used in the clip.

 

To load the game:

 

1. Install 2.71 SE-B on your PSP

2. Turn on PSP

3. Insert Demo UMD

4. When you see the picture of the demo (not the UMD icon), get ready

5. Press X

6. TIMING IS IMPORTANT HERE

Before the end of the PSP music, eject your Demo UMD and replace with VCS UMD

7. The game loads.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

 

The swap trick is confimed to work for the UMD, only with 2.71 SE-B. It does not work through DevHook as far as I know, and I also discovered that IT DOES NOT WORK with 2.71 SE revision B'. I had to flash back to 2.71 SE-B.

 

I tought I'd let you know and perhaps it will enlighten those who are working on a patch for 2.71 SE-B for no-disk swap.

im going to wait till this is hacked before i get VCS. i only have a 512MB card so i cant put the iso on my psp and i don't have any software to dump iso's through USB although i think IRSHELL allows you to run ISO's from usb through usbhost. hopefully this will be solved by UK release

 

thats a point has anyone tried launching this game through IRSHELL? i can launch burnout legends through IRSHELL running 1.5 when it needs 1.52.

 

makaveli 7 try running your game through IR SHELL. just thinking of theories until i can try for myself but by the time i have the game then it will probably be resolved.

So does the disc swapping method work on devhook? Sorry if this has been answered but I cant seem to find a definite answer anywhere.

Off topic: can someone help me with Hen C i can't get to the green screen

Guys, if you have devhook, you don't need to do the swapping. Just set the 2.xx > 2.00 option on.

wait so if we have a 1.5 devhook all we got 2 do is set it 2 what u said well if thats the case can somebody give me a link so i can downgrade from 2.71 thankz

If you want to use the UMD (not an ISO):

You must use the disc-swapping trick with the 2.71 SE-B firmware (you can get it here). I used my copy of GTA LCS and it worked on my second try.

 

Prior to installing 2.71 SE-B, I had firmware 1.50 (and emulated to 2.71 using devhook).

You cannot use the UMD with firmware 1.50 and devhook 0.46!

I tried it with a few different releases of DH .46, it never worked (yes, I was doing it correctly). I even tried the disc-swapping trick on 2.71, it still didn't work. However, from what I hear, you can use an ISO on on 1.5 (with dh) and 2.71 SE/HEN.

 

To reiterate, I can confirm that the UMD will not play on version 1.50 with devhook emulating 2.71. However, if you install 2.71 SE-B, you can use the disc-swapping trick to play the UMD.

What's so special about that custom firmware that it can work on that but not the regular one or emulated version?

Don't panic. At least it's only 2.81. That'll probably be emulated by devhook eventually if it already isn't. Rumors are spreading that 2.82 already has been emulated so all will be gravy when Booster or whoever finally releases the devhook update. For now just try a borrow a game or something to do the swap thing.

I have no clue, but that's the question I was asking until I upgraded to SE-B. I just know that, for me, the swap trick worked on 2.71 SE-B on the 2nd try and didn't work after about 10 tries on emulated 2.71. I've also heard a lot of reports of the swap working for the SE-B version.

Ok so I've stuck with 1.5 and Devhook for all my PSPing and haven't followed this new business of 2.71 custom firmwares and all the higher firmware homebrew enabling stuff. This 2.71 SE-B, does it give the same capabilities that I already get with 1.5 and Devhook or is there some catch?

 

Sorry to throw this into the already mixed pot of annoyed gamers, homebrew developers, and the people in between who just want to know the situation. Hopefully once we've all figured this out we'll have clear guides and answers on what can and can't be done.

With 2.71 SE-B you get all of the features from 1.5 and 2.71. The only catch is the time it takes to install, which is not that long.
