What used PSP model should I get that can still be softmodded?

[bonemanager]

But I'm not using a memory stick and there is no ISO folder, because I'm using a PSP Go. Do I just create the folder or what?

Daedalus had no sound.

gbSP was in Japanese, maybe I just got the wrong one. Also, it only recognizes GBA games, not GB or GBC.

The SNES9XTYL was way too slow.

I really appreciate everyone's help. I sound so stupid, but the wealth of information is overwhelming and I just want the straight facts from people rather than too much trial and error at this point. And I hope that maybe you like helping people.

The directory structure for the Go should be the same as on any other PSP (I'm guessing it has internal memory instead of the card the older ones use?), so just create an ISO folder on the root of the storage and it should work the same.

With Daedalus I "believe" sound has to be enabled manually, however from what I remember enabling sound slows down the games way more than its worth.

Looks like I accidentally gave you the Japanese GBA emulator (whoops), try this one instead; http://dl.qj.net/psp/emulators/gpsp-...d-version.html

Snes9xTYL works great for the majority of games, however there are some games that don't work well if at all (Starfox, Doom, and Super Mario World 2 to name a few). What game were you trying to play out of curiousity?

For some games you can change some settings in Snex9xTYL to get them running better. After loading a rom, press the Home button and scroll over to the "VIDEO" settings. Here you can play with the "Engine" options to see if any work better, as well as adjust the Frameskip option (usually between 1-3 can help a lot). Also, disabling VSync can increase the speed the games run at, though doing this can cause some tearing during gameplay.

Let me know if this helps.

This isn't really a thread for arguing the pros/cons, but I prefer the 1000. I have large hands and the others are just too small. With the thicker edge, I am able to more comfortable grip it for extended periods of time. The Go is well out of the question for me.

Ah, just wanted to let him know that I like mine. Got it for a good deal (in mint condition) and have preferred it over my 3000 as it is smaller and easier to carry around.
Also, guess I should read harder, didn't notice that he got one already. Enjoy it.

I created an ISO folder in the root directory and the games don't show up. I've searched for answers and I can't find them.

I tried Iso Tool 1.970 and it detected the isos but wouldn't do anything with them. It said "DIR unimplemented."

I tried Prometheus ISO loader and it did not detect them.

I looked into the folders for the games I downloaded. The largest files for the two games I have are .pkg and .dat. Hmmmm.

I just bought a PSPGo N-1001, and it took the CFW fine

Are you playing games? How did you do it?

I honestly only tried Top gear. So games with Mode 7 and FX chip are out.

Check your firmware and make sure you have custom firmware installed before doing anything else

It should be listed in Settings - System Setings - System Information

for example mine says

System Software 5.50 Prome-4
Nickname Zorlon
MAC Address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

If it's custom it should have letters after the 3 digit version #

[bonemanager]

System Software 6.60 PRO-B9

Maybe I should get a different CFW.

[Zorlon]

No that one should be just fine.

Are the ISO's extracted that you pop in the ISO folder??? they should be

[bonemanager]

Yes, they are extracted.

The guy goes to Plugins and has all those options. I only have System Storage and Memory Stick, both of which have no options within them. What say you to that?

[Alakazander]

Yes, they are extracted.

Alright, could you take a screenshot of your Go's internal memory and the inside of your ISO folder for us?

Looks like he has a custom VSH menu, or something like KrappyPSP. Both of these are homebrew applications, not part of the CFW itself.

But your CFW is a out of date, PRO has been updated to PRO-C.

[Zorlon]

turn on your system with R held down usually gets you that menu but that isn't needed for ISO loading as far as I know

Ok, I got rid of the old one and installed the new one.

Not sure if I put seplugins in the right place or if it even matters. Still can't load isos.

[Alakazander]

You extracted too far.

.iso is probably associated with WinRAR, so you extracted the contents of the .iso file. You should only have .iso or .cso files in your ISO folder.

Change your WinRAR settings, or use 7-Zip.

[Zorlon]

and not in any sub folders either

it should look like the following

[bonemanager]

Yeah, the .iso files had a winzip icon so I just kept extracting them. It works now. THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zorlon]

A pleasure

You ok with the homebrew??
