USB Mod v4b For 3.10 OE-A

Posted Feb 12, 2007 at 12:29AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: memory stick, TheBuzzer
Ó


USB goodies - Image 1ZKL54 gave us word of a new modification for 3.10 OE-A that's useful out there for those folks who always worry about space constraints. Smashly's USB Mod v4b for 3.10 OE-A will actually help you save on space on your memory stick by enabling you to stream files from your PC via the USB.

According to the developer, this is actually an unofficial update of TheBuzzer's modification for SE-C. If you remember him, he also made a useful and rather prolific application known as the GUI DEVHOOK Launcher, so you can bet that this little modification's base programming came from a great app maker.

Of course, using this might sound like a bit of a hassle, since the main reason you probably use the PopStation is to play on the go. Despite this, USB Mod may save you a lot of trouble when it comes to accessing certain files on the fly, though we wonder just how well this would work with PopStation.

That being said, remember to check the readme for instructions so you don't muck up your PC or your PSP, grab a long USB cable, and see what magic you can make with this little app.

Verify all the plugins are enabled, then when you get to the xmb, hold the square button. On the nethostfs screen you should see a connecting text. Then go to saved games on your PSP to refresh your game folder (quirky step, but you have to do it) then go back to games and you should be set.

Sorry axelixc, you should do research before you spout off.



This is an old version of usbhostfs and may not work with this plugin. It should, though, as I doubt the protocol has changed any since then. If it doesn't, I'm sure it won't be long before someone realizes and fixes it. There's also a Linux one out there somewhere as well, but I didn't bother searching for it.

I'll finally be able to use PopStation with my 32mb stick. Only problem is, I can't update to 3.10 OE-A because the dxar doesn't fit.



It also needs flashing systemctrl and vshctrl. I've heard that you can't run programs using recovery but you can still reflash the old systemctrl to unbrick. If you mess up the flashing, can you still recover?

by KirbySS - 2007-02-12 01:15

Your best bet is to find someone who will make the DXAR for you, or make it through USBHOST and Irshell, like I did.

I'm trying to get this running with OS X (using the USBHOSTFS for Mac OSX v0.02B and PrometeusPro) and was wondering: the "PC Drivers" listed as downloads above... Are they essential? What do they do?



As far as I can see, what I need to do is install USB Mod v4b for 3.10 on the PSP, run the USBHOSTFS on my Mac, run Prometeus and then run the USB Mod on the PSP... and everything should work?



Or should I just hold off for now?

Nice job on creating this app, but this one needs to write to flash in order to work. Here is another way that will do what this app does without writing to flash. (only Isos/csos)



http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/455639



Using this way, you don't need to write to flash, BUT it can only access isos.



~This way(brief summary)

PRO:easy to enable and disable. (in xmb)

CON:writes to flash (dangerous for those that don't know much about the psp, etc)



~The other way in the link

PRO:doesn't write to flash

CON:not so easy to enable and disable (in recovery menu), can't toggle usb when plugins are enabled and will crash when plugins are on but with no usb connected (for now)



Both need some trial and error in order to get them working. (unless you really know about the psp or you're lucky)



BTW, I just use irshell to access homebrew through my usb although this way seems easier.......(excpet for the flash)

by quentin - 2007-02-12 08:12

I noticed, before I ran the recovery, that irsmp3.prx was also enabled for VHS. This was causing the refusal to startup. So, if anyone uses the mp3 plugin, that must be disabled to use this.

you need to make an ISO folder in the same folder as your usbhostfs file. go to "game" on your psp and hold square button for a few seconds. then open your game folder and your games should show up. if they don't then try going to your game saves then go back to your games. that should refresh the list.

by phinux - 2007-02-12 18:23

you are not supposed to go into usb mode. did you follow the instructions that came with it? if so next... you need to have usbhostfs started up. then go to "game" then "memory stick" (do not select it, just highlight it) then press and hold the square for a few seconds. then slect "memory stick" on your psp and the iso should show up in the list. if not then select "saved data utility" next go back and select "memory stick". that should refresh the game list. this program is for playing games that are saved on your pc harddrive using the usb cable.

» More specifics

if you have a ta-082mb it is important that you use the USB type B fix for ta-082 (google it, easy to find) a non ta-082 or fixed ta-082 is also required for the fix. Something to do with an idstorage change resulting from the 2.71 downgrader. Without the type B fix for USB your ta-082 will not function with this mod. once you have successfully installed the fix your ta-082 will function like any other psp. Regarding the download, I downloaded this file from QJ shortly after it was posted. I found however that the files contained different files than those described in the readme, namely several plugins. I proceeded anyway and found the plugins to be non operational. I then went to the "XMB-PSP" link provided in the main story and downloaded the original mod. All files were named currently re: README, I installed them as per instructions and it works fine. If you still have probs after this I would imagine it would be the PC end at fault.



P.S.

I downloaded this a while ago, the download link may now be fixed

by JimBeam - 2007-02-12 19:28
» For TA-082mb users

Many of the problems people are talking about are symptoms I encountered before using the USB Type B Fix. This mod or any similar application that requires the psp to read via USB (eg: Camera, GPS) WILL NOT WORK without the fix. It was covered on QJ net forums but to be honest the article was a useless piece of ***** with references to ninjas and robots or some such crap. discerning actual information from it proved difficult. There are other sources out there but I am not sure if I am allowed to quote other websites. so let google be your friend.

unbelieveble. you're NOT supposed to just transfer files over to your psp from your pc. IF you needed to do that, just use toggle the usb from the xmb without this. THIS APP/plugin allows you to play isos and hombrew on your psp with the ACTUAL file on your COMPUTER, without having to transfer the file over to your psp.



After you have "(warhamster) I then hold square, hear the usual connecting to device via usb sound and my computer says it found it, installed the drivers, and then the dos window says connected. that's it. " that, you just go into your game folder ON YOUR PSP and you should see your stuff there when the actual file is really on your computer.



You need to follow the instructions and comments to make a folder with the name "iso" in the same folder as your usbhost.



:REPEAT: after all that, GO ONTO YOUR PSP,(make sure that the usb is connected between the psp and the computer), and in the xmb, go to the game folder and you should see all your stuff.



(BTW, i prefer using psphost than just usbhost all by itself. Psp host has a better interface and doesn't need the iso and whatever file to be in the same folder as the usbhost)

(psphost is a windows app that has usbhost, etc built in it)

» not startin'

i had this a couple of times and found that, if you go to recovery mode, then to configuration, than make sure the 'use NO-UMD' is set to Disabled, the games should start now

Get a repeated activation and deactivation of libUSB PSP Type B driver when trying to mount viewed iso, and of cource it fails.... am ablie to USBHOST FS the DAXDumper directly so don't understand what is making it unstable.



Any recommendations ?
