Some xLoader clarifications by the Noobz crew

It seems that many people were having problems with xLoader, the newly-released eLoader's sidekick. Not to worry though, the Noobz crew has given instructions to address most problems which plagued those who didn't check the readme (bad!). Here's all the clarifications directly from the official page.

Step-by-step instructions:

Install xLoader, using either the auto-installer, or by following the instructions in the readme.txt file in the ZIP package.
Install some homebrew - perhaps by using the Installotron, which you can run from Fanjita's baybeh">eLoader (it doesn't work well in xLoader).
Use the PatchSFO tool to ensure that your homebrew is ready for xLoader (see below for instructions).
Now browse to your PSP's photo menu, and open the folder 'xLoader 280'. If everything has worked, you will see 2 file icons, one a round blue circle, the other a 'corrupt data' icon. So long as your PSP hasn't crashed at this point, then xLoader is now running.
Alternatively, highlight the 'xLoader 280' folder and press START, to attempt a slideshow of the images in the folder. The PSP will complain that there are no pictures to show - this is OK, so long as the PSP hasn't crashed, then xLoader is now running.
Browse to the homebrew you want to load, in the PSP's 'GAME - Memory Stick' folder, and press X or O (depending on your PSP region) to start it.
The screen should go white, and then some text about eLoader appears briefly, followed by the homebrew starting. If your PSP crashes, then the homebrew you're trying to run is either not installed correctly, or it's not compatible with xLoader.

Some general info:

There's plenty of useful and important information in the README file - click here to read it again (because of course you read it when you installed Kriek, right?).
If you haven't downloaded it already, you should grab the PatchSFO utility (see below). You can also install it via Installotron. If you run PatchSFO, then you'll be able to at least attempt to run all your homebrew via xLoader. Without PatchSFO, the XMB won't even try to start most homebrew.
Sometimes you'll find that the eLoader and xLoader TIFFs stop working. If that happens:

Try running a disk checking tool on your memory stick. For Windows, you can use 'chkdsk', or the 'Properties - Tools - Error Checking' option that comes up if you right-click the memory-stick drive icon. On a Mac, you can try the 'First Aid' option of the Mac Disc Utility. This seems to fix about 95% of problems.
Try reinstalling eLoader.
Try starting with a different method - if you normally start with slideshow (using the START button, then try just opening the folder (with the X or O button) - and vice versa.

eLoader will usually crash if you try to run it when xLoader is active. Just hold the power switch on your PSP for 5 seconds to reset it, then turn it back on again. This removes xLoader from memory.

Another thing to take notice in case you don't know, Installatron is only able to use the first access point configuration. So if you're not able to use Installatron properly, it would be wise to delete the rest of the access point configurations. We're hoping that Fanjita can fix that so that there's an access point selector, like in AFKIM or Links2. Until then though, you'll have to make do with the workaround.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

YES!! luke is officially a retard!!

Luke . . . use the force. On second thought. Use the suicide booth.

OOOOOTAY!

I say if people can't get something to work because they didn't bother reading the readme file, then they don't deserve to get it to work. Lucky for all those people, the Noobz crew doesn't feel the same way. Very generous of them.

the thing about the corrupt file wasnt in the readme, hence why they posted this. also this has been on the noobz site for around 10-11 hours.

# installotron — hartraft 2006-11-19 03:53

how about adding how big the download is for each item? For those of us on the poor 32mb duo, its hard to know if u don't have enough space. (when you can't d/l the file, u just get a red screen with an error. You have to reset your psp)

# old — Guest 2006-11-19 04:56

this is old...i found this out about 4 hours beforeit were on here

# omg... — Guest 2006-11-19 05:08

is there some kind of nasty *****ed up subliminal message behind all those goddamn child pics they keep posting!?

its really disturbing.

i understand the beer pics but this has gone far enough.

im ashamed of myself for ever using eLoader knowing it was made by a group of pedofiles

# asdfsdf — Guest 2006-11-19 05:12

yea noobz is a useless website anyways, not a baby. i've never needed to go there.

# Listlen up you pig lovers.... — Guest 2006-11-19 05:36

Shut you asses...though i admit the picture of that kid is a bit stupid. I still say the noobz are the greatest thing that happened to the psp. Without them we have nothing but a half bricked psp. Thanks fanjita and the rest of the noob crew.

# Yeah, right. — Fanjita 2006-11-19 05:41

Actually the pic was chosen by my wife from a bunch of candidate images to illustrate the post.

She thought it was the cutest one of the set, which came directly from a google images search for "confused".

You might like to learn to spell paedophile (or pedophile, perhaps, if you're a 'merkin), or maybe you'll be joining the ranks of paediatrician-persecutors.

Jeez, you try to do someone a favour, and they want to lynch you. What has the world come to?

# g g g — Guest 2006-11-19 07:02

damn right

Why do people care about such details like pictures in posts or nicknames in the Internet?

Anyway I also had some troubles understanding the xLoader function. I did read the readme.txt file but I couldn't find an answer. Also search it in google and youtube.

I found the answer in a forum where a guy told me that even if the PSP tells you "no images available" it meant it work now. I expected another emenu like the eLoader one, so that is why I was confused.

This eLoader is great, and I can finally be happy with my PSP taking its full capabilities. It was a hard lesson for me to remember to not ever upgrade the firmware.

Thanks noobz crew!!

not everyone can read fancy english such as paedophile. hence why we spell it 'pedofile' or 'pedophile'. we like to make it easier for others to read, not to make them read excess spelling/grammar the way you U.Gay jerks like it.

the uk blows ass - everyone born their has that annoying accent and even dudes sound like girls when they are supposed to have matured.

Fanjita has been *****-spawned.
