[Brandon Whitton]

i'm not sure if it's been requested yet but it would be great to see "The 3rd Birthday" and "Dissidia 012: Duodecim". I would also like to throw out a HUGE thank you to this community. I've been slinking around for quite a while and this place is just great. I only wish I could contribute as much as I'd like.

Anyone sign Prinny 2?

[Mangaphile]

So far, I don't think Prinny 2 can be signed. I've lost count of the attempts I've made at it. Nearly wet myself when I got it to boot, but after the initial intro demo, it crashed the psp. Much disappointment ensued...

Anyway, new upload just added. This time it's the dragon vengeance/greed title known as Hoard.

Hey guys ... i just download ModNation (1.3GB) from thw PSN welcome back program, use isotools and sign GTA : LCS (1.2GB) and is working perfectly.

Proof here



I heard that if you got the same game/license that i used to signed this game (That being Mod Nation from the PlayStation Store welcome back program) you too will be able to play this eboot on your PSP ... if thats true, then, !Here I Come 1GB + Games!

[Jacob Brown]

Can you post how you did this?

[Moogle of Death]

Can you post how you did this?

Sure, i can do a Tutorial.

That being said, since we are signing eboots here, we could pick one of those Free PSP game from the store and used it to sign the 1GB+ games.
IE. if you are going to sign a psp game that is more than 728BM, you will have to use "X" game so that way every one can use it ... and since thos free psp games from the store will do the job, it will be wise to pick one now and that way if someone wishing on playing that signed game he knows he will be able to because he will have the license to play it.

Tutorial on the wor .... coming on monday

[David Pridemore]

I never got a License when i got both Killzone & ModNation Racers.

Nevermind. I have them now. Had to redownload Killzone to get it. Now to worry about ModNation Racers.

[kazushi]

i can sign 1.5gb games now.

[Mangaphile]

I think Moogle Of Death is working on a tutorial to help everyone, which I am personally looking forward to very much!

In the meantime, I am very proud to announce uploads of the 2nd and 3rd parts of the 'Overlord Badman' trilogy!
What Did I Do To Deserve This My Lord ?! 2 and No Heroes Allowed!

Btw, My Lord 2 has a fully working Almanac, there are a few versions floating around where the almanac crashes the game... not here though, nosiree!!

And unless I am mistaken, this is the ONLY place you will find a signed version of No Heroes Allowed. You guys are so worth it

[Moogle of Death]

Well guys, since this section is being use to post any info related to the signing of PSP backups then I'm gonna post the tutorial here ... mods, feel free to move it to a more adequate place if desire.
NOTE : I made this Tutorial for another site I'm part of the staff and has to put the watermark over the images.

How to sign PSP back-ups bigger than 728 MegaBytes



Developer Takka has incorporated to the last revisions of ISO_Tool the option to sign backups with Fake_NP9

Fake_NP9 is a tool that give us the possibility to sign our own backups so we can launch them in Official Firmware (OFW), and without the need of installing a Custom Firmware (CFW) or Homebrew Enabler (HEN).
With this tool we can take as BASE any game download from the PSN Store (Welcome Back program freebies is a given ), which this tool will allow us to sign any backup that has the same or inferior size as the BASE game.

In this case I'm going to use ModNation Racers as BASE ... next are some requirements necessaries to be able to sign backups using ModNation Racers as BASE:


Requirements:

• PSP with at least OFW 6.20 installed (newer versions are OK)
• Only backups in ISO format can be signed (sorry but no CSO format allowed)
• For better results it is recommended to use CLEAN backups (you may or may not have problems signing patched backups)
• It is important to copy over to our PC the BASE game and its LICENSE

Before we start

• Make sure you have the latest ISO_Tool ( ISO Tool can be found here : http://goo.gl/EN5uj)
• Make sure the game you want to sign is of equal or lesser size to the one being use as the BASE.
• In this tutorial my European ModNation Racers is 1.3GB from the PSN Store, and I'm gonna sign European Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories which is 1.2GB in size.

First Part : Creation of the FAKE_NP Data File

Spoiler warning:

Move through the XMB menu of our PSP and go to the GAMES tab and launch ISO_Tool




Put the arrow pointing to the game we want to sign




Press the △ button and a pop-up SYS MENU window will appear.




Now move the arrow next to the Make fake_np Data File option and press X ... a new window will appear




Move the arrow pointing at the BASE game (UCES01327 ) we are gonna use and press X ... a new pop-up window will appear




Select the YES option and wait until the FINISHED message window appear




Press the X button and the application will return to the Main Menu.

This Step we just did we wont have to do it again, because the BASE game Data has been stored in an ISO_Tool Folder which we can use any time we want to sign a game

Second Part : Signing of the Backup Game

Spoiler warning:

Again at the Main Menu we select the game we want to sign (Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories in my case) and press X ... a new pop-up ISO MENU window will appear




Place the arrow next to the Convert fake_np option and press X ...a new Select Data Path window will show up




Now we select the Data we previously create (ModNation), and press X ... a new pop-up window will appear






Select the YES option and wait until the process is done
Process time can vary, in my case it says 15:16 minutes as you can see in the image above, but end up taking around 19 minutes.




When done the FINISHED window will appear, Press the X button and the application will return to the Main Menu.
To Exit from ISO_Tool press the HOME button.

Now in the GAMES tab we can verify that we have our backup game (Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories in my case) SIGNED by checking up the Information

Notes, Precautions and Advises

There is the possibility of some backups not working after being signed

It is important to make a backup of our BASE Game (Eboot from PSN) and its License in a safe place on our PC

Once we have made our First Part of the Tutorial we can delete the BASE Game from our Memory Stick or Storage Unit to save space.

Warning : the BASE Game we have to delete it via PC ALWAYS, because if it is done from the PSP directly it will also delete the License from the Memory Stick and any game signed with the BASE Game will be unplayable

Do not intent to use a PSX/PSOne Classic Game as BASE because it will not work for this.

IMPORTANT : The backups game that we signed with this method will ONLY WORK in the PSPs that have Bought, Download and Activated the same BASE Game from the PSP

Because of this, it is important that if any backup is signed with the intent of SHARING with others, let's them know which game was used as BASE to sign any backup game.

But more important will be for sharing communities like this one, to pick a BASE game in common for the signings of games that need a License ... hopefully whoever decide to sign a game we can only hope that they do it with either one of the PSP Welcome Back program Free games as the one used in this tutorial (The other one would be Little Big Planet, which is actually Bigger than ModNation Racers.)

Edit : Made the Thread on the Emulation FAQs section ... here's the link to the Tutorial : http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...n-728-MegaByte

[Mangaphile]

Great work Moogie! Maybe you could start a new thread with the tutorial in it too so its the first post and easy to get to?

[psgrader]

Thanks Moogle of Death,but there are limitations.That signing process need a physical psp having fw6.20.which i dont have have(mine has 5.50GEN-D3).And flashing firmware of embedded system is always risky and NOT recommended.Also I dont have any psn account.
Can isotools be ran on jpcsp? I said because they added support for 6.39krik keys on latest build r2166 which can be downloaded from here for windows 32bit.I will try this up later.But again thanks for the tutorial.
