I have a friend who has the hacked PSP firmware 3.71 M33-4 (I'm just reading this off his PSP, I have zero experience in fucking around with custom firmware and downloading games myself). He's trying to download some ROMz for piracy purposes, but for some reason, a few files he's torrented don't seem to work. He downloaded Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology but the game seems to be split into several smaller files and he's not sure how to fix it so that it works correctly. :/

I told him I'd ask around to see if anybody here knows how to fix it. Also, we tried playing FFT via ad hoc against each other, but I guess pirated games don't work with multiplayer when you're playing against someone who has the official version (i.e., me)? Kinda sucks since I was looking forward to get some of the multiplayer-only items.

if they're split, like .r01 .r02 .r03, you open it with WinRAR

also, i'm pretty sure you can play pirated games with legit games, it could be another issue

For FFT, did you make sure you both had the English version, or both had the Japanese version, or something like that? There really shouldn't be an issue, unless one of you had wi-fi turned off $:-\$

i have the feeling one had the Pal version since it was torrented before the US version, iirc.

Sure you can. Just make sure you have a button set to turn the service switch on (just turn the coin button off and turn this on instead), go into the service menu, and from here you can adjust the difficulty levels as well as enable free play.

Yeah dude, it's the home button on newer versions, start and select together for older ones. You can also adjust screen sizes and tons of other shit. The best version of CPS2 is 2.5 I've found, and for Neo-Geo, 2.4 works the best for me. 2.5 didnt seem to take a lot of the newer Neo-Geo games I have.

No no I mean assigning a button as service, in PC emu it was an F* key usually

U R NOT INFORMED

You don't need to make cache files for most games if you are gaming on a Slim. Also make sure you are using 2.2.4 or 2.2.5 and nothing older. I have pretty much the entire Neo-Geo library on my Slim and maybe around 10 cache files. CPS2 games don't need cache files anymore, BTW.

Also hunt around for different ROM sets if some dont play. RetroRoms is a good site, you need to sign up but the ROMs from their MAME Archive work great.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2008, 02:00:26 AM »

Its not that im not informed, its that I couldnt read the japanese readme file.

Does it actually make any difference? I have the US version, but I dunno which version he torrented.

About Tales of the World, the files were split, but they weren't .rar files. They were .001, .002, .003, etc. Right after I made the thread he tried connecting his PSP to his PC but for some reason the PC refuses to recognize it. He thinks his girlfriend fucked up his PC's USB drivers when she installed a printer yesterday.

MCD · « **Reply #27 on:** January 04, 2008, 02:18:50 AM »

i dunno if there is a difference really.

I wonder if anything different appears in the startup screen if you have the European version. I'll have to check with him tomorrow. Damn, that's the only way to get a bunch of secret new items too.

Oh, hay, that's true...we could back up my copy of FFT on his PSP and see if we can get a melee match running that way. At least it would clear up any doubts about what the problem might be.

Unfortunately he can't even connect it to his PC right now so he can't do much of anything with it other than play the stuff he's already got in his memory stick. :/

Pandora should solve that problem. Didn't DCharlie say he could lend you a battery?

I have some shocking news for you: I BUY PSP GAMES!

Tons of them. I use the hacked PSP for emulation, memory stick loading, and 333mhz mode. Have I downloaded games I don't own? Sure. I usually do it to try out games first and see how they are...beats demos!
