Gameboot Flasher for 2.6 |
Ó
So you think your pretty unfortunate since you are just blessed with a PSP 2.6, since you're being left out from all the fun that the 1.5ers are getting? Well, since the 2.50/260 downgrader is already here, that shouldn't be the case anymore. Unless you are afraid that you will mess up the instructions and brick your PSP. Well, that's your call.Anyways, just to say that the 1.5 owners don't get all the fun (actually they do, since the release of the latest devhook), homebrew developer, Slasher, concocted a simple gameboot.pmf flasher for 2.60 FW. This app was based on the work of hitchikr, neural, DarK_AleX, Yoshihiro, and Mathieulh.
According to Slasher, all you have to do is "simply put the gameboot.pmf in the root of your memorystick, run the program, and it'll flash it directly to your flash0:/vsh/resources/ folder." With that you're all good!
Also, the good developer informed us about some security checks and other info about this app. Security checks include the following:
- Checks if AC adapter is plugged in
- Checks if gameboot.pmf is actually placed in the right location
- Avoids flashing if something goes wrong
* After running the program; if there's an error, it will return to eloader; if it's successful, your psp will be restarted.
* If disc read error pops up, all you need to do is turn off your psp, then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, then take battery out for 5 mins then put it back in.
* Works on TA-082 PSP mother boards
He also would like to convey that there's always a risk of bricking your psp while flashing something. Although this has been tested and confirmed working remember that you are using this at your own risk. QJ.net and the developer won't be held responsible if your brick your PSP with this software.
He also says that the MAX gameboot.pmf size is 1mb, although he isn't 100% sure with that. But he asks you to please avoid flashing gameboots that are any larger. If you flash anything larger than 1 mb, you may end up with a brick.
And as a sign of a good developer, he wishes to extend his thanks to those who helped him along the way: to TMK (TheMarioKarters) for the idea, and for helping him test the app. As always, your constructive criticisms, opinions, and suggestions will be very much appreciated so let 'em flow through your comments.

men don't touch anything!!! i bricked my psp by flashing the gameboot!!! he said to me it was going all right but it has bricked, nothing starts!!
P.S.
1st post
WFT does a gameboot.pmf do?
*reads forum tread*
anyone who needs this is reallty missing the poitn and missing out.
You can downgrade and unlock FULL modding capability and STILL RUN 2.6 WITH DEVHOOK ON 1.5!!!!
What do you lose? nothing, nothing at all! You only gain form downgrading 2.6!
what does this thing do anyway? =/ I cant test it since I have 2.71 firmware and I dare not to test it on my brother's PSP
I'm with 2 and 4 on this one, as I have no idea what this thing does. Perhaps someone can give a more detailed description for me? Please?
this is good news for TA-082 people!
A gameboot is a little movie for when u select a game from the PSP's Menu (XMB) it replaced the standard white PSP thing whit ur own movie! wand a good tip? use Blood and Claws from http://www.nextpsphacks.com
gameboot.pmf is the movie thing that plays under the PSP logo with playstation portable under it, after the psp boots, and when its starting the game, or homebrew.
It seems to be the Booting animation, so vhen you torn on the PSP you can have different animations instead of the PSP logo =)
Very nice!
now im confused!?
no 13 your a muppet!!
Is anyone currenty working on getting the downgrader to work with TA-082?
hey guys if i am using fw 1.5 and i use devhook to emulate fw 2.6 can i use gta eloader to use this app?
enough with the spamming of "2.5/2.6 downwgrader"!!
not EVERYONE gets a taste of 1.5. i mean c'mon, if you think about it, alot more people are getting PSPs NOW!
resulting in TA-082 mobos! i've already bricked 2 PSPs trying to get the downgrader working on TA-082 mobos.
thanks to gamestop for taking them back thinking the PSPs were new AND defective. now i got 2.5 and i'm not about to brick this one. seriously, you people act like everybody's PSP can be downgraded no matter what.
i had a TA-082 motherboard and tried the downgrader and it worked i am playing full homebrew now !!!
no. 13 is true
no! you guys are g@y and need to quit tryin to make OTHER people brick THEIR PSPs!
this could brick your psp just like the downgrader could.
so whats the point of it take the chance and downgrader its cwell better down here.
downdater in the root and the other two eboots in the game folde how stupid could uses really be?
one more thing! they pretty much made TA-082 motherboards specifically for disabling downgrader capability. i also heard that its got something to do with the interrupt priority level, meaning those mobos are IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE! or maybe there is another way....another downgrader release. but that would just be pointless.
we need Colonel Loader or maybe Colonel eLoader.
cuz kernel dont sound "spicy"
Is this a downgrader? Is this a thing which changes the PSP version?
Is it just a thing to change the opening video?
Could someone please explain it?
nocomment
- TA-082 PSP Mother Boards can NOT be downgraded. It's very simple actually, these mother boards were designed specifically to not accept the 1.5 IPL, therefore, if you attempt to downgrade, you WILL get a brick. ex) http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=57248&page=1
- This app is purely meant for the unfortunate people that have a TA-082 mother board, and can't downgrade. I haven't forgotten about you guys ;)
- This is almost 100% fool proof, and I've added all the security checks imaginable. This app has nearly a 100% chance of not bricking your psp.
- Have fun ;)
haha of coursel it works
and it rulez
i have an awesome EA start screen now lol not the boring ping noise with the psp custom screen anymore
cool
im too afraid to downgrade and ill wait till the kxploit (kernel mode) for 2.6 is wrked out
cya guys and have fun with the prog
ow btw heres a .pwf resource site :
http://www.freewebs.com/psp_reborn/gamebootvids.htm
i took the ea one
grtz

Would this work with Devhook? Instead of flashing your PSP will it flash your MS??
YEHA
^^^^^
TO ANSWER YOU GUYS QUESTION.. THIS CHANGE YOUR GAME BOOT INTRO.. DOWNGRADE YOUR PSP.. ITS BETTER ;)
2.50 --> 1.50
1.50 4 EVER!
Okay. I have had it with all this misinformation spreading around.
1. The downgrader DOES NOT work with TA-082 PSPs (the ones with IC1003 written on the mobo where you can see it when you open the UMD bay w/o a UMD in there). This is because ALL TA-082 PSPs came with v2.5 or higher, so Sony got smart and mad all of those mbos not accept any firmware < 2.5. Therefore, IT WILL NOT WORK!
2. This program WILL WORK on TA-082. It's not changing the version to < 2.5, so no problem.
3. The modchip will ALSO not work on TA-082. This is because of something else, though, TA-082 uses a voltage of 1.8V, the modchip can only use 3.3V, and 3.5V, which are used by the older mobos.
Next time, get your facts straight!
I don't really know wether the devhook will work or not, but common sense tells me that this program would just write to the 2.6 firmware on your mem card, so yeah. If you want a gameboot modifier for your 1.5, just split this EBOOT (not sure if that will still work) or use use any other program that does that function. X-Flash prolly does (I don't know, I have 2.71). And, yes, I am too lazy to show you a link. GOOGLE.
just downgrade to 1.5 and use Devhook stop being scared and do it,Ive done it 3 times and no PSP has bricked.
this will allow you to change the white psp loading screen whenever you go into a game, not the psp starting up. Devhook users dont need this caus you can just overwrite it for which ever firmware your emulating, also works with the fonts. and also overflow.tiff knows what hes chatting about, ta-o82s cant be downgraded.
if you do have a ta-082 do not listen to anybody telling you to downgrade it, it really aint worth it and some c()nts out their would laugh at your expense
I tried to put the gameboot on the main root of memory stick but doesn't work when emulates 2.60. So I move the gameboot to 2.60 folder via File Assistance and it work! Then I copy the gameboot to 2.50 folder via File Assitance and it work again! I tried to emulate 1.50 and 2.00 but the DevHook will not flash and I can't see the gameboot work.
I have the pmf. file in the root, but when I went to run the program it said it was not placed in the root directory, but thats where I have the file...? what should i do?
its a good news for ta-082
sad to say, im one of the "unluckies" who have a TA-082 mobo. DAMN YOU SONY!
im not stupid enough to go and try to downgrade my PSP. it's obvious that there are bastards out there who are trying to brick PSP's.
Imma get superman on your asses!
If it doesn't work then put it in the resource folder and replace the Gameboot to the new Gameboot. You may also put on 2.00 and 2.50 too! Putting on the Root does not work as I tried to run the Program on DevHook 0.43. You should have the latest Devhook version 0.43 in your PSP by now.
hey yall, this is a working site to get free stuff. follow the URL i give and fufill the requirements to get a free psp.(hopefully lower than FW 2.7, so its homebrew capable). here is the URL.. http://psps.freepay.com/?r=31315202
Can somebody tell me what is this all about??? what is this program for?? PLEASE!!!
if u got ure psp with 1.5 but upgraded that means u dont have the bad mother board right
if ur psp came with 1.5 then it aint the ta- thing
the point is.... flashing your psp cannot 'brick it' lol, it's a case of being a noob and not setting up the homebrew correctly before you flash lol!!! try reading instructions and maybe nexttime you won't end up with a brick
MY PSP WONT BOOT UP CAN SOMEONE PLZ MAKE A SOMETHING TO FLASH DIRECTLY INTO THE FLASH0 WHITHOUT HAVING TO BOOT UP A GAME
SOMETHING LIKE WHEN I PRESS I PICTURE IT WILL FLASH GAMEBOOT.PMF DIRECTLY
PLZ
PLZ
PLZ
PLZ
Replace the current GameBoot.PMF to the new GameBoot.PMF under MS0:/dh/260/flash0/vsh/resources/gameboot.pmf and thats it for now. Now go to Devhook and emulate 2.60 and watch the animation. Now do the same thing with 2.00 and 2.50 except 1.50.
would any1 like to try it it's a 2.70 downgrader i do not know if its working but if any1 wants to try it just say and i will post it
by the way it explians how it works in the read me in the rar file
thanks
Well i cant downgrade cause i cant get my hands on the 1.5 downdater files cause nobody will email them to freddy21@hotmail.com
wat the hell were they thinking about wen they made the damn game
yea post the 2.70 downgrader and hey every developers I am almost sure there is a exploit in 2.70 because just when 2.70 got out the 2.71 got out to just like 2.0 and 2.1 and I got locoroco runnig at 2.70 but u guys might only got it for 2.71? so they might patched something there.. I dunno :/
post 45, it would be amazing.hope they do that cause i dont think it is that hard
plz dark_alex or some other bright guy
take some minutes to try this
we would really appresiate it
i tried this putting the eboot in games and the gameboot thing in the root and i won't start tell me what i am doing wrong
Can somebody post a comment on how to install this thing?Also will this work with the new TIFF loader?
