guys, pls help me....i'm facing problem with the gps290

for those who try it work, pls let me know wat mapthis ver. u are using with?
v3? v4? or v5?

i'm trying with this step below:

1.What you need to have
a. A homebrew capable PSP (though tutorial explains how this works with DAX’s custom firmware only).
b. A self-powered GPS receiver (not all models have been tested) or you can use the PSP’s official receiver (PSP-290)
c. A PSP to GPS cable (not needed if you are using PSP-290):
i.You can make your own by going to this link: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30035
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PSP OR YOUR GPS RECIEVER WHEN BUILDING YOUR OWN CABLE.
ii. Buy a factory made PSP to USB B mini cable from www.moby.cn
d. Deniska’s Mapthis! Mapping software: http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/mapViewer_v03.zip
e. Mapthis! 0.4 EBOOT.PBP: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qr7uks
f. In7ane’s Map Downloader: http://www.sendspace.com/file/90i8iu
g. PSP Car stand (optional)
2. What you need to do
a. Copy the mapViewer and mapViewer% folders from the mapViewer_v03 (in step 1(d)) folder to your game folder on your memory stick and make sure your kernel is set to 1.50 if you have any gps pther than the psp-290 (please refer to the FAQ in Deniska's discussion forum for important details on making this work with psp-290)
b. Copy the appropriate EBOOT file (depending on if u have a HOLUX GPS(or any other non psp-290) receiver or PSP-290) from the mapthis! 0.4 file you downloaded in step 1(e) into the mapViewer folder on your memory stick (overwrite the current one).
c. Copy the ‘system’ folder from the the mapthis! 0.4 file you downloaded in step 1(e) into the mapViewer folder on your memory stick (overwrite the current).
d. Start up your PSP to make sure the application runs fine and mess around with the sample map included of the London

but when i want to start my psp, it come with the error massage---->loading usb accessory module...error?


why happen like dis? pls help me....i'm getting crazy now being trying dis for a few hour.....


then i try to generate the map using com like the step below:


e. Now that you have the mapping software, you need to download the map of the area you want to navigate through. Extract the File you downloaded in step 1(f) and go to GMDL/bin/Debug and run ‘Global Map Download Tool’

when i want to run it, it came out with the error message again.....---> the application failed to initialeze properly (0x0000135). click on OK to terminate the application...

why?

pls help me...tq

tried today. PSP slim is a lot easier than PSP thick to get everything work.

for PSP thick.  u got to extract the 2 usbgps.drx or something from the flash01 and enable in the psp configuration menu. then when u run the software it can show the PSP GPS status is on (usually it is off b4 setting)

for PSP slim....just put the Mapthis software(with your current position map in)
into the MS:PSP/GAME390  or GAME
then the psp gps will showing ON in the mapthis and can locate satelite (version 3.90)
without any setting....

version 3.90 is the most easiest to setup. i tested version 3.40. 3.71 3.80 and 3.90 .
its ok for 3.40 . 3.71 n 3.80 a bit handy and 3.90 = no need to do any setting....

just 2 cents comment. cos i am letting my psp gps290 now n cos got my mobile gps smile.gif
