Project4 Open Beta 2 by Auraomega - Image 1The last time we heard from PlayStation Portable homebrew developer Auraomega was when Project4 Open Beta 2 was released. After a number of people expressed that they had problems with installing the said release, Auraomega dropped us a line to explain.

In case you missed the previous reports, Project4 is a homebrew application that lets users replace their PSP's XMB (cross media bar) with a customized one.

According to the developer, the installation problems mainly stemmed from people not going through the readme before trying to install Project4. Here's Auraomega's post from the Darkmessiah forums:

Ok people, it looks like everyone fell foul of a purposeful thing I added to Project4, after the problems with bricking last time around because people didn't read the readme, I decided to NOT make a file structure, instead I hoped people would read into it and find where the file must go. The Project4 installer has a hard coded loading path, which is ms0:/PSP/GAME/Project4, you MUST have all the files in here for it to work :? next time I'll just place this in the readme I think, and I'm sorry for any problems this has caused.


There you have it folks. Serves as a small reminder about the importance of readme files and the trouble you can save yourself from. Anyway, let's just wait for Auraomega's next Project4 release and remember to give the readme a once over before anything else.
