How to get SCUMMVM to work?

Post by THX1138 »

Hi, I just bought a PSP and upgraded it to firmware version 2.71. I got SCUMMVM so I could play these old games on my PSP. When I put the files on my PSP, it tells me there corrupt. How do I get SCUMMVM to work on my PSP. I read the readme and it is very confusing and has many spelling errors.

You can't run homebrew on 2.71 as of yet.

Please tell me about those "many spelling errors" and "confusing" parts of the README (I assume you mean README.PSP?) so they can be fixed.
Of course your own post is completely error-free. :roll:

So how do I downgrade my PSP to be compatible with SCUMMVM and install it like any other homebrew?

I don't know what a homebrew is.

You cannot downgrade a PSP with firmware 2.7+ as of yet. Right now youre stuck with what you've got. Homebrew are games or applications made by programmers. Scummvm is a homebrew emulator.

Hmm, hard to say. I'm not even sure if anyone is even looking to crack that Firmware. since youre running 2.71 it will be hard because every firmware version is jsut creating more and more security patches making it harder to hack. I wouldnt hold your breath for anytime soon though.

Damn it! Is there a way to get rid of the update?

Is there any thing cool I can download for a 2.71 PSP?

How to get SCUM

Post by THX1138 »

Well, I guess I will just play my dos games on my PC for now.

Oh, joostp, try pasting the read me into Word. There are a lot of mistakes and the instructions for the install are very weak.

Also, my first post is error free. Copy it into word and you'll find no errors.

Happy Talking to everybody!

When Word finds mistakes, it means that there are probably mistakes. But if it finds none, it doesn't means that there are none.

"there" should be "they're" (because the contraction of "they are" is meant, not the preposition) and the dot should be question mark (because it's a question).

:P
