I've been seeing people go on about needing a 2gb memory stick to run this game. It seems one or two of you may not be aware of the fact there is a program that lets you leave the iso on your pc hard disc and run it on the psp via usb. Ok granted you lose the portability of the psp but at least you can run it. You do need to have 1.50 firmware though. You can have a look at the tutorial here :-

We know that (well, I do anyway) but people generally don't want to sit by there pc to play VCS. The whole point of the PSP is portable gaming.

Oh for christ sake some of you should really learn to read stuff... You might not need to run VCS as an ISO at all... You will only need to do that if the game uses 2.8 or 2.81 libraries which require someone to produce a patch for it... There is still a good chance that even if it is 2.8 or above that it wont need patching and then we can just DevHook straight from the UMD...

 

A 1GB or even less memstick would be fine then...

The chances of that happening are low though Ade, I'm sure that the other 2.81 games needed prx changes.

I've updated CheatSync to accept VCS cheats... Well, just need to flick a switch anyway... By Tuesday it will fully be ready for all the new stuff...

 

PMG will be updated later once vettefan sorts me out the new addresses... biggrin.gif

thank you for pointing that out to everyone, they all just ignore my posts about good info, like a new devhook soon, or anything, one other person has recognized my post, saying that there is a new devhook, just not publically released yet, probably only to developers, and this devhook that they have not released, can run 2.82, so... this means if vcs does run opn 2.82, wait a week or two, and then use the new devhook to play... jeez

 

and yeah for vcs pmg, yeah just when it comes out with 2.71, we will have a pmg in days, maybe even hours after the release

Just 2 more days till the truth, and we can sleep better at night knowing which version it will contain. I'm kinda worried because the austrailan version has been delayed, could this mean that the US get 2.71 and the Europe vesion gets 2.81. It happen with Tekken US got 2.6 when Europe got 2.71. dontgetit.gif

If that is the case then atleast the games are region-free meaning you can play a US version on a European PSP.

Sorry for another post.....feel free to ignore my last question..i'll find out everything once it's posted.

 

 

This may be stupid, but we should be able to use both.. LCS and VCS cheat devices once the vcs is out...right?

 

yes....stupidness...but it's to late for me to think about things. bored.gif

No, Edison will have to release a version of the PRX CheatDevice for VCS. The LCS one will not work.

No what he meant was can we have both the VCS and LCS CD on the respective games, to that the answer is yes.

WOH WOH WOH

 

Why is everybody going on about 2GB memory sticks and ISO's? you won't need either

 

you will need either a 1.5 or 2.71 psp running devhook (use hen C and devhook launcher for 2.71) read back for more info

 

you won't need to use a ISO as it is easy to patch games so they play on devhook if they have 2.8X firmwire

 

ALL you will need to run VCS CheatDevice is

  • A PSP WITH 1.5/2.71
  • A copy of VCS
  • Devhook installed
  • Edison carter's VCS CheatDevice PRX
  • A patch to run VCS on Devhook (possibly. not confirmed)
  • HEN C and Devhook launcher for 2.71 (if your running 2.71)
thats it! No ISO of VCS. No 2GB memory sticks. just wots listed.

 

Also although edisoncarter has said video and screenshots function will be included in VCS CD PRX. there is also a Screen/Video capture module available that is made by ADEpsp (with help from edisoncarter).

 

This allows you to push a combination of buttons on the psp to record video and take screenshots (note/music button for screenshots and R + note/music button to take video by default).

 

This also includes a GIF player to watch videos back on. (could be useful as it saves loading up your PC to play back video).

You need to run it as an ISO to apply the patch, it actually changes files inside the ISO.

It's been confirmed that VCS uses FW 2.81.

 

Everyone sit tight! It won't be long now before we see what sort of patch, if any, is required. You'll be kicking yourself if you upgrade now and the next day it's patched and everyone else is playing in DevHook without losing homebrew.

 

@chrislawrance - Does the emulated firmware get patched instead, or does DevHook have a config file where you can override certain files on the UMD, or how does that work? I wonder if you add a PRX to DevHook's load list and the same PRX is provided on the disk, if it will skip loading the disk's version because that PRX is already loaded.

I'm sorry Advancegta but your going to have to upgrade to play VCS. You will loose homebrew.

Ok so only a handful of person have the game now, confirmed it needs 2.81 but thats it? I guess none of them are homebrew users since there's no reports this has failed (or succeeded) in running with Devhook. I mean all it could need is turning on the "2.xx--> 2.00" option in devhook, launch the game with FW 2.71 and it might work. If the game is looking for specific files found only in the 2.81 firmware, some sort of patch might be needed but it is possible this is not the case.

 

We need some homebrew users to get a copy of this game and test it with devhook. People are freaking out just because the UMD has 2.81. The question really isn't what firmware does it have, but does it run in devhook. Guess that prolly won't be answered until tommorow.
