Quick Reminder: PSP Homebrew Discussion Guidelines

Our PSP community is constantly growing everyday. Many of us especially the new PSP owners will be anxious to find a place to discuss and ask questions about the PSP on the internet. And most of us, if not all will be interested with PSP homebrew discussion. So, to avoid any homebrew discussion that leads to 'warez' talk, the following guidelines must be followed:

Please limit your DevHook and custom firmware (for example: 3.03 Open Edition) discussion to firmware XMB menu features and how to load homebrew only. This includes IRShell 3.0 and HEN (Homebrew Enabler). Discussions detailing how to pirate games or how to get/run/download pirated games/loaders (Fastloader, UMD Emulator, etc) is not allowed. Topics regarding piracy will be heavily moderated to prevent encouraging it's use and will be left to the moderators' discretion. You best bet is to avoid this topic entirely when posting.

Don't ask for ROMs, or other copyrighted material (firmware dumps, etc). Do not give the names of websites that host these files. If you have any questions that you think is not appropriate to discuss here, use Google to find your answer or you can PM and ask other forum users.

Thank you all for your time and efforts with this.

Read the guidelines, dude. No batuk discussion here. Google up.

Can.. or you can ask taiko2 here for some help through PM.

Not that difficult actually. I used it to extract Kuala Lumpur map from MSN Virtual Earth. But, the only thing is now the map is not that detail as I mentioned to you before. And, Google Map does not provide detail maps for Malaysia either, except for satellite images.

# Download the application here: http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/gmdl0.2.15aGPSFS.zip
# Extract the zipfile to your PC, and browse to /bin/debug folder
# Double-click 'Google Maps Download.exe'
# When the program loads up, it will prompt you to update to the latest version.
# After updating, main program window where it shows GoogleMap website, type Kuala Lumpur (or any other place) on the input box and click Search
# Less the zoom to have full map displayed
# Since GoogleMaps does not provide maps for Malaysia, you have to click on MSN Map selection on the left hand side
# Click Preview 1X to check the map part actually used by the program. If it cuts out wanted part of the map less again the zoom and/or move the map a little
# When you are satisfied click the Set Dir button, browse your Hard disk and create a new folder somewhere. This new folder's name must start with underscore, like "_Kuala Lumpur", quotes excluded.
# Click Download the Map button
# Wait till download finishes, and downloaded files are packed
# Copy the folder to maps folder on your PSP
# Load up MapThis and, then connect your GPS to your PSP
# Select your map from the list
# Press 'Start' button and scroll down the option list and select 'GPS Info'
# You will see your GPS information, and to locate your exact position, the GPS need to lock-on to 4 satellites



# After lock-on, your position will be shown on the map



Happy GPS-ing...

MapThis only support GPSFS raster file format maps captured from maps.google.com/MSN Virtual Earth. I'm still doing some research whether we can convert and generate existing West Malaysia map used in Garmin GPS system to format used by MapThis.

I'm not sure whether PSp can be affected by virus through web surfing. But, I do know that there's a virus called Trojan.PSPBrick, as a Category 1 threat (Category 5 being the worst). If I'm not mistaken, the virus was embedded into some downgrader for PSP. Once installed, it deletes system files and brick the PSP.

Bought it for RM225 last month. So, average price should be around RM220-250.

Can use'lah... currently there are 27 GPS satellites orbiting the earth, that will figure out the distance to each, and use this information to pinpoint our location on earth, no matter where you are.

So, you can use it everywhere; land, sea, jungle, except if you land on the moon.. cannot use..

Nope. No official software included. But, in Japan the Maplus Portable Navi software is sold together with the GPS for almost RM350++. And, yes.. Maplus Portable Navi only supports Japan map only. Not for other region.

Anyway, I really like the POI(Point of Interest) features in MapThis. Can record down and save our location of interest directly to the map.

Sony GPS is definitely slower when doing initial lock-on to satellites, but once it gets a lock-on, when disconnected, it will resume back faster than initial trilateration.

Btw slickz, my GPS located 10 GPS satellites during intial trilateration just standing in front of my house. How many did you get?

Duhhh... yes, I did say it's not compatible. I've been following the progress with the developer. He only received his Sony GPS early this month. Then, baru dia start hacking the device to provide support for his software, MapThis. He released MapThis with official GPS support last week.

Not rocket sciencelah.. just plug-and-play only only part when generating the maps, have to think a little bit..

3000? Did u generate the whole map for Klang Valley ka?

Yeah, Homestar Portable is in Japanese. I'm still trying to get my copy. Can't wait to try it out. Now, can watch the star in style. Khehehe..

Orait, will create a separate tutorial afterwards when I'm free. Dun worry.

Deniska just released a small update for MapThis 0.461S.

Download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/t8f684

Just replace the eboot file with the previous version.

Great update from Dark Alex... again..



768 Kbps bitrate limitation for AVC videos is now patched. Now, we can encode our videos with higher quality, matching those quality in UMD and P-TV videos.

Now, have to edit my transcoding.ini.

Things just got worse for Sony with team Noobz declaring that they have found an expoit for ALL PSP firmware! Seems as if thigns weren't truly limited in terms of the GTA exploit and within a week, a v3.03 downgrader should appear via the use of this exploit!

Bleh bukak bisnes downgrading balik, bro..

Me want blue PSP....

Actually, you are accessing your flash0 directory from your PC. When you activated 'Toggle USB for flash0', you can browse through the flash0 using Windows explorer like what we usually do, when accessing MemorStick contents. So, just cut & paste any mods that you want, like custom XMB icon, you can just paste your custom 'topmenu_plugin.rco to flash0:/vsh/resource directly.
