WIP: Game Decrypter: Play 5.55 Games on Custom Firmware 5.03/5.50 GEN

Submitted by greg; September 29, 2009

Ya'll know Yoshihiro, right? If not, you will soon... Yoshihiro of Team GENyUS has decrypted the EBOOT for games requiring firmware 5.55. At the moment it's not released; it's a work-in-progress... However, tonight is the night - if I'm reading Google Translate correctly... You will need the original UMD game, MotorStorm has already been tested with 5.03GEN (PSP-3000 & PSP-2000 v3) and 5.50GEN (PSP-2000 & PSP-1000), and you will also need the technical know-how when it comes to generating ISO images using this tool: UMDGen 4.00. The rest will be available/explained later tonight. Props Yoshihiro, Team GENyUS, and everyone else over at PSP GEN. Much respect. - source: pspgen

You need the original umd?? Ok, this is going to be fucking GAY. Just like his PSX emulator- you guys remember that, right?

http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/...

Unless it actually enables users to play games that require a higher firmware than whats installed, (like the mighty devhook did) its useless.

# Archangel 2009-09-29 12:34

Well but with this i'm guessing that the fixed isos will be online in no time right?

# DMAddict 2009-09-29 12:38

You need the original umd? I don't get that. What's the point if you already have the UMD?

# Cabal 2009-09-29 12:46

The point is that the recent games don't work at all on CFW even if you have the UMD. This will allow people that actually bought the game to play them without switching back to OFW.

# ctighe 2009-09-29 12:46

How would having the original UMD help if youre just going to be editing the ISO in UMDGen? I always thought you cant edit the ISO on the actual UMD.

So i think it just means you need to have an original ISO, not the actual UMD.

I could be wrong tho

# Alexez 2009-09-29 12:58

i hope the fixed ISO`s will come soon

# Chadi 2009-09-29 12:59

it means to make a dump thats decrypted you need the umd, it wont decrypt the game from iso

# KingPepper 2009-09-29 13:17

Well that's fair enough, i have ordered my GT PSP UMD for on the 2nd Oct, can't wait to be able to play it

# not quite uber 2009-09-29 14:04

i've been playing dissidia on cfw 3.71 on my slim, i use to run 5.00-6 but my ps1 games didnt work so i switched fw's. convert the game to an iso to play it, it's much easier

# alex 2009-09-29 14:09

you, my friend, are absolutley correct. Do to the fact that UMDs are read only, you have to dump yor UMD to iso, edit the iso and play it from memory card.

You're welcome.

# luther349 2009-09-29 14:10

thers aruldy is some fixed isos out there. soul calber is one. but why this crap rather then cfw 6.00

# Phong than 2009-09-29 14:14

that's great. you dont have to give up CFW to play new games that required 5.55 OFW.

# alex 2009-09-29 14:15

yo bro, you need the pops pluggins from 3.00 to 5.00 than when you start a psx game you can chouse what FW pops to use and i guarantee it will work, at least all the games i've tested have worked 100% some need a little persuasion but thats what google is for. example, have a game that dont work?, google the game name, pops and problems all toghether youll find guids on how to get them to work.

youre wlcome

# spankyjon 2009-09-29 14:21

interesting..... ppf patches or a prx plugin to do this automatically? wonder how this is all gonna go down...

# WEED LOVER 2009-09-29 14:23

TO NITE WE DINE IN HELL!!!!MY BOTHERS!!

# warbeast 2009-09-29 14:26

so if you only need the umd to build the bootable iso then the iso could then be uploaded like any other to newsgroups or am i missing somthing?

is the umd used in the psp to decrypt the iso on memorycard or just to build a iso?

# robofreak111 2009-09-29 14:34

This is excellent for those of us WHO ACTUALLY BUY GAMES!!! We dont have to give up homebrew to play the latest games

# Nameless 2009-09-29 14:37

It's a start, considering Disgaea 2 alone's been out nearly 3 or 4 weeks without a workaround. SC was a fluke due to an oversight with an unencrypted file in the Euro version. Nothing else so far has quite worked.. Of course, considering the number of fake patches and rumours of CFW we've seen of late, it's not particularly helpful all round.

# Isao Takahashi 2009-09-29 14:37

Just remember that the group doesn't "support" piracy....if you get my double quotes.

# Acid_1 2009-09-29 14:38

It means thieves can't use this, where as the few of us who buy our games get to use it. It's a great way for developers to say they don't support piracy.

# Acid_1 2009-09-29 14:41

You know there are honest people out there who don't condone piracy. I mean, downloading one radio song doesn't matter. Buy the fricken album though if you like their stuff. Same with video games. Go ahead and demo it if you want (I don't usually), but buy it if you think it's good.

Nice to see some dev's really do care about having piracy stopped.

# alex 2009-09-29 14:43

ps. if you google 5.00 m33 pops plugin package you should get all the plugins i just told you about and a readme on how to chose the correct pops plugin for the game you want to play.

# alex 2009-09-29 14:44

Come back with your sheild, or on it.

# Enkeixpress 2009-09-29 14:50

Well.. It's not 6.00 Custm Firmware but.. At least it's something.

I may be a PSP pirate but.. I am indeed very grateful. :)

# jay 2009-09-29 14:55

i have downloaded the iso motorstorm cant i just edit that one . ?

# KTB 2009-09-29 15:16

Right on man. These UMD's are killing me for battery life.

# Cheesetheif 2009-09-29 15:20

It seems that you might be wrong.
Sounds like it modifies the files or something while ripping it from the UMD. That means people can put the "fixed" ISOs on the internet and all you will need is this plugin or whatever to run them.

# BlackPirate 2009-09-29 15:21

so what about the people with busted UMD Drives...like me....all of my games must be ripped to my mem stick before i can play them b/c my drive stops spinning randomly.

# Cheesetheif 2009-09-29 15:22

SC was not a fixed ISO. It was a leaked dev version. That's why it worked with only a little modding.

# pspnoob 2009-09-29 15:23

So what do u edit in the ISO

# Cheesetheif 2009-09-29 15:25

You can buy a new UMD drive assembly easily and inexpensively at Dealextreme.com. Just make sure you buy the one for your PSP's model.

# Cheesetheif 2009-09-29 15:26

This edits the EBOOT apparently from what I read.

# xjen0vax 2009-09-29 15:32

From the looks of things, it's just going to be an ISO patch. The "Original required" bit is just GENyUS's way of telling you to buy the game.

Everybody with the "ew why u make this shit n not cfw 6.00 ur gay" mentality needs to shut up and realize that if it was that easy it probably would have been done already. GENyUS is probably already looking into it, but for now Yoshihiro is working on this as a stopgap fix until there's a working 6.00 cfw to release.

In short, quit your whining.

# Deklan 2009-09-29 15:38

^this

# bearmon 2009-09-29 15:38

Stop saying GAY.. Man, you sound like a real homophobic. JEEZ!

# Dezz 2009-09-29 15:43

I think I'll just wait for a CFW to come out, cba spending money.

# Paradigm 2009-09-29 15:46

Yoshihiro deserves all the respect in the world. From XGEN, to the DSONPSP emu, and now this. Quit fucking complaining that your mommies won't buy your 10 year old ass the newest games. Buy the games, and show some respect. Yoshihiro, team Gen, thank you.

# Paradigm 2009-09-29 15:49

@Dezz
Keep on waiting.
See how far your pirate ass gets.

# Taki 2009-09-29 15:51

OMG!! :) thk youuuuuuuuuuuuu u!!!!!!!!!

# Tidus0515 2009-09-29 16:02

Guys…I never really post on these forums. I always just kind of read around and see what’s going on. I just wanted to tell you there is a new strategy to solve the 3000 problem with loading newer firmware and may even work on the go. I am not really much of a homebrew developer, but me and my friends excel in working with c++, java, and linux programming. We have found a way to modify homebrew so the psp doesn’t reject it. Instead of trying to find a glitch in the firmware, we are just making it so the firmware sees the homebrew as “sony approved” and just runs. Hopefully from this we can run cfw enablers for higher firmware (if they are developed indeed and the bullshit fakes stop coming) to run on the psp 3000s. This is still in very early early development, but shoes promise of success. Video in 1 week once tested on psp.

# Facebook User 2009-09-29 16:13

Why?

5.00 M33-6 You just put the psx eboot in the game folder. no pops needed.

# Kamanashi 2009-09-29 16:18

It's so you buy the game. It's not like it cost that much to get the games anyways.

# 1UP 2009-09-29 16:50

It's said that way in respect for game devs dipshit.

Considering it mentions making an "ISO"
Learn to read

# dboy 2009-09-29 16:58

so let me get this straight. with this "fix" i will call it, you can play 5.55 game on 5.50 cfw. the application just edits the EBOOT so that 5.50 will run it. and they said that we must have the umd b/c generally iso's are just for backups of the umds we own. did i miss anything and is everything in that paragraph correct?

# Enkeixpress 2009-09-29 17:04

So, does anyone know when this will be available in the UK..?

What time?

Very much Appreciated. :)

# Cheesetheif 2009-09-29 17:07

Can't wait for this to come out. *Glances at Armored Core and a few other unplayable games*

# JD 2009-09-29 17:17

According to comments i've read in Japanese...The "Original UMD Required" is just to avoid the legal trouble of him advocating downloading an illegal ISO. After this comes out expect to be able to edit ISOs directly. The original will not be required to be inserted when playing the game.

# Acid_1 2009-09-29 17:20

lol ya I realized that a bit later. Unfortunately. Too bad it can't sign to the psp it was ripped from.

# Acid_1 2009-09-29 17:24

Nice. Now I can play Dissidia!

# JD 2009-09-29 17:28

You should already be able to play Dissidia!

# luther349 2009-09-29 17:29

they probably dumped the eboot and found the firmware version check and changed it to 5.50.

# Isao Takahashi 2009-09-29 17:30

where's the japanese source? i know japanese so would love to read it.

# Stefan Cubitt 2009-09-29 17:41

The Decrypter has been released.
Check pspgen.com.

# Paradigm 2009-09-29 17:48

@Luther
I've already done that.
No luck.
Edited the PARAM.SFO to no avail.
It has to be something else.
My guess is...
You need the UMD.
I think there are some deep embedded files that UMDGen can't even locate.
And that most people would have missed by straight dumping it into an iso.
This probably allows you to either dummy those files, or replace them.
I say it's a UMDGen patch.
Just a thought.

# TheKinG 2009-09-29 17:48

I'm not sure what Custom Firmware I have - how do I tell? The recovery menu shows M33, but I'm not sure what version of the CFW it is. Also, the System Update function says I'm up to date. Anyone know how I check?

# Facebook User 2009-09-29 17:49

I don't see it there.

# Isao Takahashi 2009-09-29 17:52

can anyone english it? i don't even know where to click for the download link

# Facebook User 2009-09-29 18:05

found it!!

@Isao, bro I use google translate. Just go to google, enter translate, change it to french to say, for you Kanji, or even old Japanese.

I use it for french to english.
It will reload the site pspgen into your language of choice.

Peace!

# Facebook User 2009-09-29 18:08

Forgot, put that url ya got into the box. Doh! my bad

# chadi 2009-09-29 18:11

this is better than custom firmware 100% because it means it makes newer games work with existing firmware, well that is works out ok and continue to work with newer games and can get updates to decrypt any new games that require 6.00+ firmware

# alex 2009-09-29 23:16

whell actualy your half right the games that work with the 5.00m33 pops Williams run no prob but some games require older pops plugins thats what the package is for when a game wont start you go into the menu by pressing triangle if im not mistaking and choose a different pops FW and it will run. I had problems with musashi, metal gear solid and some others till i got the plugin package. Now its all good.

# alex 2009-09-29 23:21

System setings, then system info. Im willing to bet if it says "m33" and "up to date" then 5.00m33-6 is the FW

# Jay 2009-09-29 23:53

on GT , It runs put dont load after the auto save , part anyone help plz ?

# Sc33n3r 2009-09-30 00:12

werd. props to all the c0d3rs makinng this possible. to all n00bs: STFU !

# ricardo 2009-09-30 07:51

what's your definitions on the GEN recovery menu to make the games work?

I've made the iso with the new eboot but I don't know what are the definitions to use!

thanks!

# McLaren 2009-09-30 10:54

This is great, tested GT, works great.
Have also pre ordered and prepaid Collectors edition of the game, hopefully it will ship out to me tomorrow!

# AZRULELIGHT88 2009-09-30 11:16

THis only works with original UMD of Motorstorm and 5.50 GEN B-2?

Can I used another original UMD besides Motorstorm?

# jimmyvanjake 2009-09-30 13:11

same EXACT problem here man. so close. :'(

# PSPJEDI 2009-09-30 15:36

I'm running custom firmware 5.50GEN B2 on a psp 1001. All games are working Gran Turismo, Motorstorm, Dirt 2, Naruto Shippudden Legends, G.I. Joe-only no audio from people talking, and Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. If anyone is interseted in getting this game to work. I have a solution to the problem. First you need open up UMD GEN drag the iso over to the program go to the sysdir file find the eboot.bin file, right click and extract the file to the root of your psp. Use the game decrypter program to decrypt the eboot.bin file. Then you goto the UMD GEN and click on file and extract the Filelist.txt out and open up the text file change the 693 to 695, it's the first line at the top, click save. Copy over the decrypted eboot.bin file to iso you are creating in UMD GEN, then import that Filelist.txt back to the iso and click yes to the next step, copy the iso or cso to your psp. Ok after you load up the game, select new game create the save and play the first level when you get to the end of the level it will freeze up, don't worry just pull out your battery, and load the game again, it might not work so shut down your psp and load the game again, load your save and the autoload feature will enable and from there your good to go.
Thanks again for all your hard work Yoshihiro.

# luther349 2009-09-30 16:52

well its out now but it was as i thought it does what i said but on a deeper level. it decrypt the eboot and edits it.

# PSPJEDI 2009-09-30 21:26

Hey I was just wandering anybody get Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 to work? It's the only one I can't seem to get it to decrypt the eboot.bin file. If anyone has any solution please let me know. I have heard it does work, anyone confirm this?

# Exil 2009-10-03 14:53

Does not work for EU Dissidia, sadly.

# Exil 2009-10-03 14:55

Maybe the US version. But not the UK version.

# Yuki 2009-10-04 07:07

I have question I'm running 5.03 MHU, and CFWEnabler 3.60 on my PSP-3000 to install the decrypter would I need to uninstall something? or just install it directly?

This is a really great write up on WIP: Game Decrypter: Play 5.55 Games on Custom Firmware 5.03/5.50 GEN | PSP Hacks · PSP Go Hacks · PSP Homebrew, PSP Downloads, PSP Custom Firmware! However, When it comes to copying DVDs, many individuals are worried whether or not it is legal. A lot of people have concerns as to whether or not they’ll get into trouble by breaking any DVD copying laws. Obviously, this is a highly controversial topic, therefore it’s important to set the record straight once and for all.
