PSP Game Decrypter - Play New Games on Old PSP Firmware

Damn! hopefully this will patch Little Big Planet PSP and Gran Turismo PSP - :-)

Going to try this with Disgaea 2 and the metal gear peacewalker demo.

It worked and worked wonders! Here's an english version of the guide written to make it easier for you all:

1. Run UMDGen 4.00 and open the ISO file of the game you'd like to decrypt.
2. Press the Extract Image button and select a new folder, for this example I will use 'C:\Persona\'
3. Browse to the folder and then look in 'C:\Persona\PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\'
4. Copy 'eboot.bin' and place in the root of your PSP memory stick (for example, X:\)
5. Run the Decryptor program on the PSP and wait for it to complete (this should take only a few seconds)
6. Browse to the newly made folder at X:\Decryptor\ and copy the newly decrypted eboot.bin back to 'C:\Persona\PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\', replacing the original eboot.bin
8. Start a New UMDGen compilation and drag both 'PSP_GAME' and 'UMD_DATA.BIN' into the UMDGen Window
9. Choose File Save and save to whichever file you'd like, then copy to your PSP like any other ISO file!

I have tried 3 games using this method now:

Gran Turismo - Booted to black Screen and I had to hard power it off
Gi Joe - Booted
Madden 2010 - the decrypter program did not do a thing to the eboot

Drakhen,

Which firmware are you using? I have been doing some reading and it seems to need GEN B.

I will be giving it a try with Gran Turismo Patched com 5 505 03GEN once my PSP has charged and I can go to GEN B.

Also it seems to need to be patched to your specific PSP (Some folks are saying you can download previously patched ISO's but you have to repatch them)

OK... still waiting on the Gran Turismo Patched com 5 505 03GEN

So tried it with [PSP]Gran_Turismo[EUR][ESPALPSP]

Patching completes ok. I can see the logo etc in the game folder but when i click run it gives me error 80020148

Will try the other iso when it comes over. The patching process is straight forward as per Tillas instructions.

Now if only i could get it to work!

P.S I went from 5.00 M33 6 to GEN A then GEN B

Edit: OK... reran the process. Now I get the game to boot. It gives me the usual game message about autosave features then the screen goes black. I have tried playing around with the UMD options in the firmware menu but none make a difference.

When the screen is black you can use the home button to exit back out to XMB.

I cant' make anygame to work! I think my menu definitions are all messed up!! :hmm:

could someone tell me the correct definitions?

thanks!

OK... from what I can gather different people are having different results with the same ISO files.

There must be some logic but I can't see it. Will try another couple of ISO's once i sort them.

I even tried editing the version.txt file to 6.00 and all UMD modes (with and without a UMD inserted)

Your problem is that a couple of games are LBA protected. As such you need to keep the proper offsets for the games to work. Remember that piracy is a bad thing though.

I am using 5.00 m33-6.

I am going to look at differnet Firmwares today..

You must use 5.50GEN-B for best results, and you must export the filelist when extracting the image files for some games (not all), and then re-import the filelist once the patching is completed.

OK I am now running 5.50 gen-b

Since I have changed Firmware
I have now tried

GranTurismo - Works and also works on 5.50-A
Madden 2010 - Now Works
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - Can not get to work. UmdGen does not decrypt the eboot

The prepatched version of GT works without having to repatch. Looks like the other ISO I have was dodgy.

Drakhen,
Try using different UMD modes. (m33 and $ony seem to be the go) and try going to B2 firmware too.

Gran Turismo PSP is OUT NOW!

Its already been decrypted and runs on 5.50 GEN with Game Decrypter.

If the file you get is a ISO that hasnt been fixed to work on 5.50gen, then you can use the new app for doing just that, you must know it by now.

Cheers enjoy GT

I merged your post into our ongoing PSP Game Decrypter thread (we want to keep all related/compatibility posts in one single thread)... but for the record, it has been mentioned already here that Gran Turismo PSP is out and works with it. :cool:

i've got 5.50GEN-B2 and tried to patch both granturismo and FF dissidia with no joy :(
tried changing settings in recovery menu, tried with a umd inside, and both sony and m33 drivers still no joy

i'll try downloading another GT iso the one i have is 1.09gb dunno if thats right??

looks like i had a dodgy iso file like ianj, both games working fine :D

V2 of the Game Decrypter is available.

The steps:

1. Install 5.55 & 6.00 Games Decrypter like any other homebrew.
2. Boot into 5.50 GEN’s recovery console by holding R-TRIGGER on boot.
3. Go to Configuration -> XMB Usb Device -> change to UMD Disc.
4. Enable USB mode from the XMB; copy UMD9660.ISO to your local; open UMDGen.
5. In UMDGen open the UMD9660.ISO file.
6. Navigate to PSP_GAME/SYSDIR; highlight EBOOT.BIN; right-click -> Extract Selected…
7. Save it somewhere; boot into the recovery console again (See step 1); set the USB mode back to Memory Stick (See step 2).
8. Enable USB from the XMB again; copy the encrypted EBOOT.BIN to your memory stick root.
9. Exit out of USB mode and run the Games Decrypter app.
10. Enable USB mode one more time.
11. If you closed UMDGen, reopen it and open UMD9660.ISO; browse to PSP_GAME/SYSDIR.
12. From the newly created DECRYPTOR directory on your memory stick, drag & drop the unencrypted EBOOT.BIN to the right windowpane in UMDGen overwriting the original file.
13. Save the ISO; copy it to the ISO directory on your memory stick.
14. You’re done.

I have try with PSP Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A Full and GT but no luck.

Did you try the EUR or US Version of Gran Turismo? US works fine, EUR doesn´t work, black screen after autosave. If you get a black screen right after you boot GT, you made something wrong.

sweet version 2 :) i've been getting a black screen with persona and the new naruto game,

yea the euro version of GT wouldn't work at all for me, had 2 download the US version and it works great

yoshihiro is the man!! :tup:

no joy booting shingami tensei persona or naruto shippuuden with the patch from game decryptor v2 :(

am i doing something wrong with umdgen ?? because i've noticed after i add the patch then save the iso that the patched iso is alteast 100mb smaller than the original ?? but the e.boot.bin from the decrypter folder is the exact same size as the original e.boot so i know game decrypter works because i patched granturismo with it and that works great

so i'm guessing umdgen deletes dummy files or something?? is there a setting i need to change in umdgen v4.00 ?? its currently set to "use no extra padding" but i think i'll try the "use standard umd padding" setting and see if that works,

it could be why its not loading or maybe these 2 games use that LBA encyption that somebody mentioned before? is there a list of what games work and what don't ?

I have gotten Grand Turismo to work beautifully on my first try with Tilla's guide. I am running 5.50 GEN-A (Full) custom firmware. Thanks to whoever Yoshihiro is for coming up with this awesome program!

I have also got Dirt 2 working as well.

thanx psychodad,

still can't get shin megami tensei persona working or naruto, still getting a blank screen, but it lets me press the home button and exit game, tried both m33 and sony drivers and tried with a umd inserted still no joy :(

i've only got GT, FF dissidia, and nfs shift working.

so is the problem because i'm using 5.50GEN-B2 ??

or is it UMDGen compressing or deleting dummy's from the file when i save ? because the original ISO for naruto is 735mb when i extract and add the new E.BOOT its still 735mb but when i click save uncompressed ISO it turns out 589mb ?? and loads to a black screen

and i've tried different settings on UMDGen and also imported the file list with no joy

i'm downloading an already patched ISO to see if that works and guess what?? its 735mb lol

mission accomplished :p finally saved and it came out as 735mb and works :D

ok what i did incase anyone has this problem

in UMDGen i changed the option to "use standard umd padding"

then opened the ISO and exported the file list

instead of extracting the ISO is just drag and drop the patched ISO into the SYSDIR folder replacing the original,
then i imported the file list and clicked yes on the pop up box then clicked save and it finally saved it as 735mb :)

earlier when i wasn't extracting the ISO and doing it this way i wasn't exporting/importing the file list and it wouldn't work

and also when i had extracted the ISO and imported the file list and clicked yes for some strange reason when i saved it it would turn out as a 7gb ISO lol so i started clicking no after importing and it would turn out 589mb and not work,

so change UMDGen options to "use standard umd padding". don't extract ISO just drag and drop, export the file list, then add the patch then import file list and click yes then click on save jobs a good'n :tup:

Yoshihiro has released a new version of his EBOOT patcher for the Sony PSP. The now famous program that allows you to patch the file EBOOT.bin game that, for proper operation, requiring only the firwmare 5.55. In this new release, v4.0, Yoshihiro has introduced compatibility with the 5.00M33 Custom Firmware 5.03GEN.

What's New?

- Fixed some compatibility issues with the CF-A and 5.03GEN

Wow this is simply amazing news.. I had been away form the PSP scene for a few months due to a broken screen but there has been so much development.

I have used this method In 2 of my games:

1; Gran Turismo
2; Grand Thefet Auto
