Ratchet and Clank reportedly not working with custom firmware |
Ó
Uh-oh. Please let's not react (or erupt) first - let's try to get down all that can be gleaned about this story first.A PSP Fanboy reader emailed them saying that Ratchet and Clank doesn't work with his 3.10 OE custom firmware (he never said which rev). The game would also not connect via Wi-Fi ad-hoc and infrasturcture. It's an observation mirrored among other PSP custom firmware users - not only at PSP Fanboy. Suggestions that the game itself might be glitchy were dismissed: FW 3.11 users - including PSP Fanboy - reported no glitches whatsoever.
We don't think it's... er, a "deliberate" move on High Impact Games' part. Another reader of PSP Fanboy commented that Ratchet works well with DevHook, so those holding dual homebrew firmware options have a second option. Other suggestions included keeping the clock at 333, having no plugins, and keeping configurations disabled. No concrete reports, so far, on why Ratchet isn't cooperating with Dark_Alex's OE custom firmware.
You guys experiencing hangups, too? (Just the facts, please. Let's save the drama for another day.) Any other solutions in mind?
21 Jumps Custom firmware 5.50GEN-D now out

with 266 mhz :)
After reading a post at MaxConsole, set my clock to 266mhz and it worked just fine.
with 266+ mhz
Lock custom firmware to 2.66 and the game will work
For some reason "Default" isn't working properly with this game. No biggie.
works fine on all o mine, 3.10 OE-A' & 2 x 3.03 OE-C
i havent tried multi player tho, single player runs well at 333
Multi-player works. Some guy over reacted a bit don't ya think?
Turn the cpu speed down or up to 266mhz and the game runs flawless. Set the speed to 333mhz and the cut scenes and sounds mess up.
It wasn't working for me either, then someone said that it worked with devhook .52. So i tried it, set it up, and it works fine.
I usually don't use devhook when I want to play single player, I just keep it at 266mhz and it works fine. (3.03 oe-c)
ive tested 3.03 oe-b and 3.10 oe-a
game works fine if you use 266mhz
problem is it seems like the only way to get online is through devhook (i tested .52) :( which i tested and worked. at the time i only saw 22 users online though and one game.
but since it's annoying to switch over to devhook just to play online, i got rid of devhook. i'll wait til i beat the game and get everything maxed out before i get online. hopefully a better fix or something will be out by then.
yea this game works just fine....
bad, misleading, news story...
granted infrastructure only seems to work with dh but whatever, it works and it not some grand conspiracy to stop custom firmwarers like this article leads to believe
yer my mate had the umd, i saw on the maxconsole forums it works with CPU set at 266 on 303OE-C
The reason people keep it at 266 and not at anything higher or lower is because anything higher and the music doesn't work, and anything lower the game won't load.
YUP it works great for me on 3.10OE-A' in single player on all speeds
NO it doesn't seem to like wifi at all on 3.10OE-A'
works fine for me im running 3.10 oe-a. But you have to set the cpu clock speed to 266.
this works perfect for me im on 3.10 OE-A
You need to be running at at least 266 MHz
All plugins must be disabled for GAME
Wifi play does not work
Selecting the Exit option in the pause menu gives a black screen :(
*I HAVE 3.03 OE-C AND IT WORKS FINE*
Browsing any PSP forum for the last TWO DAYS anyone would have been able to find out about the 266mHz issue, yet once again we have late news from the QJ staff......
Why do you even bother posting it???
*AND I HAVE 333MHZ ASWELL*
What Number one said. It works fine with 266. Been playing it for days.
Of course devhook play everything that is why i still use it for all my games and custom firmware for the looks and simplicity
When you run it under 266mhz, wait till you get in game, then use a prog like CheatMaster or CWCheat to force it back to 333mhz mode. works for me.
My L and R buttons dont work anymore. Anyone else have this problem?
strange but it works in default speed in 3.03 oe-c...
very strange.. well i think dark alex should make a NEW custom firmware then just updates
Ok i'll try to be very specific. I have 3.03 0e-c on my psp. I go to recovery mode set umd/iso to 266 ( does that use boot.bin other options matter? cause all those are disabled) I have the game compressed .cso (maybe i bought it maybe i didn't but lets not talk about that, do you have to play as .iso cause I only have a 1 gig stick).
It's 816 mb with the update folder and I also tried it w/o that folder AND IT DOESNT WORK FOR ME! I get the black screen other people have been complaining about. Could anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
my friend said it works on his custom 3.03 he just has to take out the memory stick before he turns on the game.
it seems like 3.10 OE-A isnt the most compatable firmware even for UMD's. i was tryin to play splinter cell essentials on my 3.10 OE-A firmare. it would load then at the final loading screen it would give me the error message saying the game cant be played. then a couple of days later i downgraded the psp down to 3.03 OEC. the game worked fine. it's really weird. i think i was running my game at 300mhz too.
oooooooo... no wonder i could only hear sound fx, i had mine clocked at 333. is it laggy at 255?
i know, i went through four planets with no music, but thank god I know what to do now
will that work with 333 speed? and in 3.10 oe-a'?
works for me on 3.03 oe-c clock at 266.
bigtime helpful, impossible to find this ***** when your not in with the crowd here or anywhere PSP related, so good article, game works now
...another half-assed un-researched 'news item' from our friends at pspupdates. game works fine if you know what your doing. but i guess if its a slow news day, any old piece of crap will do, eh.
It works fine on mine!
3.10 A' fw
Verify the facts before posting....
lol it works perfectly qwith my psp even the infastructure work what is wrong with your guys psps
Chris L. you should now post an update to show other people that the game works...
works with 3.10-OE-A w/ 333mghz clock (as a backup .cso) on my psp...
single player runs fine, but no wifi, i put it on 266, still nothing...
anyone know how to run wifi?
lol this morning i was going to find somewhere good to post help with this problem....
There you go. So the article did help people.
Perfect for the people that aren't smart enough to Google!
.
3.10 OE A', You just have to over clock it.
of course it was a BACKUP .cso...
don't worry, i wont judge... mines a BACKUP also...
And this is why you actually go out and purchase the game. Bringing up that you may or may not have bought it is just another way of saying that you illegally downloaded it and broke the law...you're not afraid to steal from a company, so why are you afraid to just lie to everybody and say you bought it and dumped the iso yourself? It probably doesn't work because you downloaded a bad image...and it serves you right that it doesn't work being that you STOLE IT. I hope it never works for you...go out and BUY IT!
I had to set my PSP to run at 333MHz and it worked on 3.10 OE-A2.
QJ, Please hurry and edit the article post with an update before this "rumor" spreads too much...
The game works flawlessly at 266Mhz clock speed. Slower, and game won't run. Faster and u won't get any music. This is from my own personal experience on a launched PSP updated to 3.10 OE-A'.
it works fine with devhook .52
um tisk tisk I was trying to be funny with the maybe maybe not thing yes i dled it and yes video game companies will live on and will not go bankrupt. Sorry I don't have the conscience you do... however I do believe that what is really important is to help others, AND not throw in your own comments.
Well infastucture isn't working with me =| Guess im gonna have to try it with devhook and see if that'll help it work
WORKS ON 3.10 CUSTOM FIRMWARE WITH THIS GAME ISO ON WWW.MININOVA.ORG , its a TORRENT.
WORKS ON 3.10 CUSTOM FIRMWARE WITH THIS GAME ISO ON WWW.MININOVA.ORG , its a TORRENT.
not what i meant....
i dled it also my brotha, i have no conscience...
lol
What are you doing? Don't give links to ***** like that on qj. This site IS against piracy. And lets face it, no one "backs up" their own UMD.
im guilty for downloading, but i still "backup" my own UMD's so i can get better speeds, quality, etc.
This works for me with CPU speed set to at least 266, plugins don't seem to affect it, and other xmb modifications aren't affecting it. I have not tried the online yet so I will report on that once I have tried it out.
Buy the goddam games. And then people have the nerve to ask why game companies are deserting Sony.
buy the damn game if you like it. downloading illegal isos is killing an already dying system
I set mine to 266mhz....and the single player mode works without any problems. However, the multiplayer doesn't work at all. It just comes up with a shaded screen, but my PSP doesn't freeze or anything.
I found that it works fine but if i turn on my vcs cheat device then then there is no sound and the home button doesn't work. Same with other games aswell. So i deleted the cheat device.
GO BUY THE GAME YOU LEECHES!!!!!
This game is actually good compared to the other crap psp games. It's probably one of the best psp games. THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. I spent the 40 bucks and won't regret it.
Yeah,
I think before fanboys publish/whine about anything, they need to check the facts and do some research.
The game works great on 3.10 OE '. Just change the cpu and umd speeds. At least you can extend your batter coverage.
I read somewhere before that new games automatically set the PSP speed to 266 MHZ when they launch. When a custom firmware has it set to Default (222) it forces the speed to be 222, which may be why ratchet only works on 266 MHZ. I just bought Ratchet and Clank and everything works fine on 3.10 OE-A' EXCEPT Infrastructure, which is very dissapointing. I really hope there is a way to get it working without having to load up devhook..
At 2.66MHz you wouldn't even be able to move around in the XMB
Try 266 MHz
"maybe i bought it maybe i didn't BUT LETS NOT TALK ABOUT THAT..."
I laugh at you peoples selective reading
anyway, uncompress the iso kid, and make sure its set at 266, dont mess with anything else, leave it how you found it.
you'll fit the iso you'll just have to delete practically everything else on the memstick.
hope that helps ;)
I downloaded the Iso and it works fine for me although I have not tried the online part since I don't care about that part. I'm not afraid to say I downloaded the game for free since I don't care what anonymous internet people I will never see think about me.
As far as isos killing the PSP if that were true the Nintendo DS would be dying too since for about $25 and a 2gb SD card you can have around 40 games on the DS with no problem.
ingame music will work with this teqnigue?
hahaha me too i was thinkin they didnt put any music in this one
Exactly! How great would that be, to go backwards in evolution and not have the courtesy to help people so that they don't have to work as hard!
Then nothing would be easier and nobody would ever survive because we'd all be too selfish!
yes, but with no ingame music, so you have to put it to 266 and then use sheatmaster or cwcheat to change the speed to 333 while ingame
if you haven't backed up a game like VCS for better load times, you are an idoit.
WORKS ON 3.10 CUSTOM FIRMWARE WITH THIS GAME ISO ON WWW.MININOVA.ORG , its a TORRENT.
This is RATCHET AND CLANK...FREE GAME, ISO, HERE! http://www.mininova.org/tor/584102
just upgrade to 3.10 oe-a' if u were smart enough to read the readme it says that the compatability fault with some games if fixed.
support the game by buying it its a great game and deserves to be bought
homebrew my ass most people just want it so they can play downloaded games
I am playing currently with devhook v.52 at 266 and it works perfectly but I haven't tried infrastructure
purplemonkey you are wrong. 3.10 OE-A' does not work with infrastructure, just to clarify that for all of you. And devhook is annoying because the firmware is slow off the memory stick. Hopefully this will be investigated. It should be a good mystery.
Old news i guess ur iso works perfect and u can play online with it then right why dont you try it out, i feel it was a good article cuz someone mentioned devhook which worked for me buh i think ill wait. lol so u should calm down unless ur iso can do anything the umd can do
lol do u have a iso or umd who can play infastrusure
its iso
cough emulators cough saniks mario 3d demo cough even though nobody likes him Zions zelda thing coughcough throttle x, psp rhythm, the list goes on...
:/ idiot
do u know how many psp's sony sells just due to the fact
that there is a hombrew, including pirated iso's
i bet ya many people would not buy a psp just for the games,
but for all of the hombrew capabilities. its no mistake that
the last few firwires were hacked so fast, sony dosnt care
as much about piracy as long as they sell PSP's
i download games just to try them out. if i REALLY like the game, i will go out and buy it (so i can always have it and dont have to take up space on my memory stick) if they game sucks @$$ then i delete it and never think about it again.
what i am trying to say is that i think its ok to download a game just to try it out.
maybe sony should offer downloads for their games, and after about 3 days you have to go out and buy the game.
plugins don't have to be disabled, i have cwcheat-psp (not pops) and mp3 module (game) active and it works
My hypothesis is that Infrastructure mode won't work because of a missing file in the firmware. Because of this, there is no way that you can play Infrastructure unless you re-flash those files back into the firmware.
hopefully what that file is would be found soon and the file should be re-included in 3.11 OE-A.
I have 3.03 OE-C and it works fine on 333 mhz for me...
Only problem is that I can't open the temple door as clank... This is the first time you play as clank. I hit the last button and it just sends me right back outside. Door still locked. I did it like 5 times, same thing. Anyone else get this problem?
I have had my psp for a year almost and the only UMD I have is a demo disc. I pirate all the ISOS and I have pretty much every game for the psp. I haven't bought a game since my first PSX modchip. In fact, I stole my PSP from Wal-Mart, so ***** sony again
Try this: I'm Running Ratchet and Clank SM on my (PSP) 3.03OE-B via the 1.35 dev hook usb mod (I still stream games using this)cuz I could not launch it from the XMB. I am on the 1.5 kernal and just launch dev hook 1.35 usb mod from there. NE one else too lazy to go 3.10 like me :)
so who gives a ***** nobody even likes that game to buy it
This post is such an scream for attention....
what the heck?
I run the backup on 333 mhz... Custom firmware 3.11 it works perfectly..... so what's the problem?
that fanboy just asks for attention.
bad attempt
I mean 3.10 Custom Firmware...
but stilll... stop spreadin' lies..
it works perfect
ad-hoc works fine with me but it just fades and stays that way and the game locks up, i can still exit using the home button
i did everything u guys say and it still dosent work for me
I compressed the ISO to a CSO. The PSP runs at 266Mhz, but the game has no music. What could be wrong? I just converted the CSO back to ISO, but the new created ISO is smaller(!) then the CSO (CSO: 836MB, ISO: 657MB). Perhaps the music got lost when converting the first ISO to CSO?
im getting black screens whenever i press a button at the advance configuration screen. whats happening??
Thanks for this. I had the same problem (and for the smarmy bugger who says people are too dumb to google, someone has to post it for google to pick it up) and now I can play my new game.
