Hi
I'm looking for a modded version of the DBZ Tenkaichi Tag Team PAL version that has the original voices/music from the anime but I cannot find this (the original ones comes with horrendous English voices/OST)
I found several mods (which BTW don't seem to work on my Vita) but not one as what I want, which is just a voices/music to the japanese ones.
Thanks
Hey so I have a PSP 1000 running ARK4, and I've been putting plugins on the console recently. I got plugins like brightness, audio boost, categories lite working when I discovered I needed a plugins.txt folder but I still can't get hold+ working for the life of me. The PSP says it's installed both in plugins manager and recovery mode, the line in the plugins text file is there and with the same layout as for the other plugins. The hold button is not broken, as it still functions as originally intended for the PSP. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
Here's a question from a person that does not now a thing about modding PSP games. Would it be possible to add a voice over to Metal Gear Acid? Apologies if the question is not relevant.
ive been trying to extract the image, video and audio assets from djmax p3 but they are in a format ive not seen in any other psp game before: .tpa . using filext.com/file-extension/TPA ive been able to read the files a bit better but im not really sure what im supposed to be doing to extract the data from here. i can find image names like this:
MIG.00.1PSP

beautifulgirl_nm.png nuno Sat Feb 06 18:09:03 2010 GimConv 1.43 MIG.00.1PSPÿ
followed by a bunch of mainly repeating data:
ZLZLZLZLZLZLZLÿ ZLZLZLZLZLZLZLÿ ZLZLZLZLZLZLZLÿ ZLZLZLZLZLZLZLÿ ZLZLZLZLZLZLZÌÿ YLYLYLYLYLZLZÌÿ YLYLYLYLYLYÿ zLzLzLzLzLzLzLÿ ZLZLZLZLZLZLZLÿ ZLZLZLZLZLZLZLÌ ZLZLZLZLZLZLÌ ZLZLZLZLZLZLÐ ZLYLYLYLYLYLÌ YLYLYLYLYL YLYLYLYLYLY
Ì YLYLYLYLYLÈ XHXH WHWHW
and the order of the file names+data can be completley randomised. there are lists of up to 20 images in a row followed by data and ive got no clue what to do with it.
if anybody knows more about .tpa files or extracting assets from DJMAX P3/BS i would greatly appreciate anything you can tell me about it

I am trying to play psp ISO on my psp so I got some and put them into the PSP folder/ISO folder but when I go back to the PSP then to the games tab and select memory stick I don’t see any of them not even a corrupted data just wasn’t there. I even tried using one of my backed up umd drives instead of downloads from numerous websites and even it didn’t show up I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing wrong but am open to suggestions
Apologies if this has been asked before. I have done a quick search of the sub and couldn’t find much.
Basically I’d like to get rid of some of the options like the digital comics or PSN network stuff that I’ll never use. PSP is already successfully hacked. Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone,
I've dusted off my PSP1000, put in an IPS display and installed Ark4.
Unfortunately, I can't manage to install plugins. I tried the custom launcher, but none of the plugins work (e.g. Simple Battery Viewer PSP or bright3). For bright3 I checked if the entries in the game.txt, vsh.txt, pops.txt are correct - seems to be so. The plugin is also displayed in the plugin manager and is active.
Have I overlooked something?
I’m currently playing silent hill 1 on my psp, using an eboot file. The problem is, I can’t save the game? There’s no save button and I’ve tried clicking on memory card utility option that comes up when I press the home button, but I only get the option to either import or delete data. I’m not using any emulators btw, but my psp is running ark. Any help would be much appreciated.
i just modded my psp with infinity 2.0 and pro c2, i was wondering what websites i should use for my game files and stuff
I got a couple questions for anybody who may have experienced this before, I have a PSP that I was given on part of a trade for avita, It's a go, I have the microSD card mod installed. I'm trying to figure out how to automatically tell the PSP to install games on the microSD card versus the internal storage..
Also, does anybody have any clue about the power fuses for the PSP, namely, I had ordered a knockoff 9:30 milliamp hour battery that doesn't get detected properly. Power drop is crazy. You can charge it fully then within 30 minutes. It's basically depleted now. I don't know if that is the The PSP saying it if it's the apps cuz I know Homebrew doesn't properly detect the battery voltage and level..
And I threw a 1500 milliamp hour. Just two wire battery in and I still have a little bit of issues getting correct readings on the battery and so I was curious to see if maybe it was a fuse or if anybody else has had issues with a PSP go and upgrading the battery
I own a jailbroken psp 1000 with overclock set to “Always” and got retroarch on it it can run super Mario world with with a few frame drops and audio problems which is fine but when I tried GBA emulation I was constantly getting frame rates in the single digits and the games ran practically in slow motion I don’t think it’s a GBA emulator problem because I saw similar results with demanding snes games like mega man X and doom I don’t know if it’s from the 1000’s amount of ram or if there a retroarch setting issue but if there is a fix or if you have any suggestions that can render these games playable please let me know thanks in advanced
Hi I purchased a UMD for ben 10 ultimate alien cosmic destruction new for my PSP 1003 (Havent used in years and my son wanted the specific game).
I can see that I have installed a custom firmware years ago its at 5.5 Gen-D3
I need to update the firmware to 6.31 minimum for the game to work but because it is spoofed to 9.90 I cant do that.
I have read all the ways to fix it which mean that you go into the VSH menu and change the option for USB to Flash 0 mine only has Flash 2 and when i run it on the pc it only lets me see a single file .dat
Im at my wits end can anyone help please
Hello, everyone! I hope you are all doing well, and I apologize in advance if this is not the right place for this question.
I use the Bright3 plugin to access different brightness levels on the PSP; however, the plugin has a problem that bothers me. When I apply a brightness setting in the XMB and open a game, the brightness always returns to the default value, and the same happens when I set a brightness in the game and go back to the XMB. To resolve the issue, I modified the main.c file of the project and added a variable that saves the brightness set by the user, but I need to generate a prx file and I don't know how to do that.
So if any developer for the PSP would like to compile the code, I would be very grateful, and I think it could be a great help to others. All the necessary files will be in the mediafire link below:

All credits for the original project go to Plum and Hiroi01.
for those of you familiar with 1.51 picodrive, is there a way to save the options you set? specifically the display options because i don’t want it automatically set to fullscreen
Hello all! Looking into buying a psp to extend my collection but not looking into buying games. I’ve seen that Psfree is now closed, but I’ve seen others such as FREESTOR and PKGi. Which one would you guys recommend and which do you guys use most? Any help is appreciated, as I want to get one ASAP! thanks!
I'm playing on ppsspp on my phone and I wonder how do you change the music files in srw a portable. Any advice would be appreciated.
Basically what the title says. I want to buy a psp and install custom firmware for homebrew and ISOs. I've been told the 2000 model is best. But that the 3000 does work but it's best feature is having a better screen. I just came across ARK and the site says it works on any model as long as it is running official firmware version 6.60 or 6.61 I believe. Knowing the official version required did Sony release a version of the firmware beyond 6.61?
It’s a bit more complicated than that, my system was dying after 3 hours of game time so I decided to save in-game (had done so multiple times that play session) and shut the system down. When I opened it back up the game reverted to the save from when I last shut the system down (using the Exit Masterboy option prior). It’s like because I didn’t close out Masterboy it just forgot everything I did that session.
Is this a known issue? Could it have duplicated my save on accident and it’s recoverable? Is there another emulator that wouldn’t have this problem?
