(based on excellent groundwork by Saotome)

NOTE : THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS YOU TO RUN HOMEBREW EBOOTs ON YOUR
v2.0+ PSP.
IT CANNOT LOAD EBOOT.PBPs THAT CONTAIN FIRMWARE UPDATES.

This program builds on the work done by Saotome to load homebrew
EBOOT.PBPs into PSPs with v2.0 firmware, using the TIFF exploit,
or on v2.01, 2.5 and 2.6 using the GTA exploit.

It currently cannot run all known homebrew, but it uses a number
of tricks to get substantially further than ever before.
Known limitations are:

- Can't run kernel-mode applications.
- That means anything that emulates ISOs/UMDs.
- Some minor system calls are still unsupported.

It's also still very much in development, so you should expect
a few bugs, and for not every EBOOT to run perfectly. An
up-to-date list of known working EBOOTs can be found at the
official website.


Major new features in this release:
-----------------------------------

- Automatic Wifi support!
- currently supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc in both GTA
and TIFF modes, without the need for any manual hacks.

- Caching of homebrew scan data in the menu - if the menu
scanned the memory stick within the last hour, then it
will load up much faster. You can force a scan by pressing
SELECT in the menu.


TERMS OF USE:
-------------

This software is made available for use as-is, without any
guarantee of usability, safety, fitness for purpose etc. We've
taken all reasonable precautions to ensure that it cannot
damage your PSP, but cannot be held responsible for any damage
caused.

You are not permitted to sell this software. If you paid money
for this program (most often through eBay), you should demand a
refund of your payment, and report the seller to the appropriate
authorities.

This program is not intended to aid piracy of any form. Use for
piracy is strictly forbidden - we want to support software
developers, not steal from them.


To install:
-----------

The recommended way to install is to use the new installer for
Windows-based PCs. This is 'eloader097.exe'. Just connect
your PSP to the PC, then double-click this file, and follow the
instructions to install the loader to your memory stick. Note
that this will overwrite the GTA files of any previous eLoader
release.

Alternatively, if you don't have a Windows PC, you can extract
the files from the eLoader097.zip package manually:

- Extract all the files into the root folder (e.g. "F:\") of
your memory stick. You need these files to be in the right
place:

\l_097.bin
\README.TXT
\psp\eloader\loadmenu097.pbp
\psp\eloader\loadmenu.tga
\psp\eloader\loader097.cfg
\psp\eloader\gta200.nid

\utils\touch.exe


Installing Homebrew:
--------------------

- Copy the homebrew you want to run to your memory stick.
Usually, this means unzipping a directory that contains an
EBOOT.PBP file to somewhere under \PSP\GAME\. The exact
location and folder name usually doesn't matter, but for best
compatibility you should try to use the same names as
originally shown in the homebrew ZIP file.

If the instructions with the homebrew contain separate steps
for v1.0 and v1.5 firmwares, then usually you'll get best
results by following the v1.0 instructions.

NOTE: If the homebrew is written in LUA, you need to copy it
to a subdirectory under the your LUA Player "APPLICATIONS"
folder.


The method for running eLoader itself depends on which
version of the PSP firmware you have installed. Refer to the
appropriate section below:

Running eLoader : v2.0 PSPs
---------------------------

- Make sure you have a custom wallpaper set. Any image will do.

- Use the PSP's built-in photo viewer to open the "eLoader 097"
folder, this will cause the loader to start. If your PSP
hangs at this point, then try the following:

- check your firmware version. This loader is for v2.0
ONLY.
- check that you have the loader files in the correct
place (see above)
- turn your PSP completely off, then back on again.
The loader works best on a freshly-rebooted PSP.
- try setting a custom background - some people have
reported that it works better if you use a custom
wallpaper (any image).
- try 'touching' the TIF image file : see 'fixing
up the file times' below.

Running eLoader : v2.01+ PSPs
-----------------------------

- Load up the GTA game from the UMD.

- Open the menu with 'START', then select 'Load Game'.

- Select the eLoader icon from the list of saved games.
Confirm that you want to discard current progress.

- The eLoader should start after a few seconds.


Using eLoader's default menu:
-----------------------------

- The loader displays a list of files in \PSP\GAME. Use the up
and down buttons to change the current selection (highlighted
in red), and X or O to open an EBOOT.PBP file or browse into
a folder.

NOTE: To load LUA applications, you need to run LUA Player
first, which will launch Lowser and let you browse to open
the application.

- Once you select an EBOOT.PBP to load, after a few moments,
the loader will either display an error message, or give you
the option to run the application.

- To exit the application, you need to reboot your PSP. The
loader contains in-built support for rebooting, by holding
the Left Trigger, Right Trigger and START buttons together
for 1 second. If this doesn't work, then you can also
reboot by removing the battery, or holding the power switch
for at least 10 seconds. Note that sometimes after a
software reboot, the loader will hang if you try to run it
again. This seems to be much rarer if you enter USB mode
briefly, before running the loader again.

- Other buttons:
- Triangle will turn on USB mode - but only for TIFF mode.
- Square will generate an EBOOT ID for use in custom
configuration (see later).
- START will exit the menu.
- SELECT will rescan the memory stick for new homebrew.


Using multiple versions of eLoader
----------------------------------

Occasionally, some EBOOTs work better with older versions of
the loader. In v0.9.5, for example, it looks like
TerraIncognita is broken, but this works fine on 0.9. Also,
LUA can be very unpredictable, working in some loader versions
for some people, and other versions for others.

From 0.8 onwards, the loader uses version numbers in the
filenames, so that you can run multiple versions side-by-side.

After installing v0.9.7, you can continue to use any
previously-installed versions of the loader, if you have
problems with your favourite EBOOTs.

Note that this doesn't work by default for GTA. If you want to
keep your old version of eLoader for GTA, you need to copy the
following files from your GTA save slot 5 into another slot
before installing v0.9.7:
- tetris.bin
- icon0.png
- pic1.png


Using a different menu
----------------------

v0.9.7 of the loader ships with a default menu,
loadmenu097.pbp.

You can also download an optional menu, called 'Choice', from
this location:

www.xart.co.uk/downloads/choice.php

The loader will use the loadmenu097.pbp menu by default. If
you want to use one of the alternatives, then edit the
loadmenu097.cfg file (with Notepad, or any other text editor),
and change the following line:

menu=ms0:/psp/eloader/loadmenu097.pbp

or

menu=ms0:/psp/photo/choice/choice.pbp
(or wherever you placed Choice, if
it is in a different location).


Troubleshooting
---------------

If you have problems with an individual EBOOT getting to the
"Press X to launch the program" screen, but crashing
immediately after, here are a few things to try:

- Check whether it is already on the list of non-working EBOOTs
at www.fanjita.org.

- Make sure you are trying to run it as the first thing you do
after a clean reboot of your PSP

- Use v1.0 EBOOTs in preference to v1.5.

- Make sure that you read any README supplied with the
homebrew, and followed the installation instructions (for
v1.0, preferably) carefully.

- Make sure that any support files (e.g. WAV files, graphics
files) contained in the ZIP file are copied into the same
place on the memory stick, relative to the EBOOT file.

- Experiment with the launcher options in the configuration
file. (see below)

- Check the forums at pspupdates.com - someone might already
have found a way to make this EBOOT work.

- When starting the eLoader, try pressing the "down" button
very quickly immediately after pressing "X" to open the
'eLoader' photo folder. This can help the stability of some
apps.

- If you see a message during the loading process, saying
"Found suspicious hard path", then this means the loader
detected that the application depends upon being in a
specific location on the memory stick. Usually the path will
mention a specific file - try moving the application folder
so that the file is in the place shown.

If you find that one of these steps helps, then please send me
details on what you did to make the EBOOT work - I can build
the workarounds automatically into the next version of the
loader.

NOTE: If the eLoader aborted the process before reaching the
"press X" screen, then don't bother trying these steps -
there's no way that EBOOT will currently work, but please
remember to send the details of the error message to me, so
that I can attempt to change the code to make it work.


Fixing up the file times:
-------------------------

If you have problems with the PSP freezing as soon as you open
the PHOTO folder, or even if it just starts the eLoader as soon
as you open the PHOTO folder, and you want to be able to view
photos normally, then you can use the enclosed TOUCH.EXE file
to help out:

- Copy touch.exe to the \psp\photo\ folder on your memory stick.

- Open a windows command prompt (click "Start", "Run...", and
enter "cmd" in the box that comes up).

- In the command prompt, enter these commands:
> F:
(replace 'F' with the drive letter of your
memory stick)
> cd "\psp\photo\eLoader 097"
> ..\touch run_097.tif


Configuration File:
-------------------

v0.8.5 and beyond of the loader support configuration via a
file, /psp/eloader/LOADER097.CFG. See inside the file for
basic details on what the various options do. For most
purposes, the defaults should be sufficient.

If you want to try to tweak the options for a specific EBOOT,
here are some pointers:

- Each EBOOT has a special signature that identifies it to the
eLoader. To find out the signature, use the bundled Windows
program "EBOOT_SIGNATURE.EXE". This will tell you the name
you need to use for the config file section header for the
EBOOT.

- The following options are the most common ones to change to
make a specific EBOOT work. Often, changing one of these
(more-or-less at random) will fix the more sensitive EBOOTs
such as USER_LUA. Try changing these one at a time, in this
order, for best results.

- passparameters : this is the same as the old 'press Square for
alternate parameters' option.
- confirm
- callinit : this is the same as the old 'press L-Trigger' option
- clearscreen
- initbssfull
- initbsspartial

- If you want to suppress screen-spam during loading of a
known-good EBOOT, you can try changing these options. You
may find that the EBOOT stops working after changing an
option - if so, just change it back.

- confirm : displays the 'press X to start' menu
- unknownNIDwarning : warns you if some system calls
requested by the EBOOT couldn't be
identified.
- patchkernelwarning : warns you if the EBOOT is
kernel-mode. For some EBOOTs, this
doesn't matter.
- ignorefixedpath : warns you if the EBOOT contains a
suspicious- looking filename, that
implies it might need to be run
from a fixed location on the memory
stick.

If you find some new configuration parameters that work well
for a specific EBOOT, please email me at [e-mail],
or make a post on the EBOOT loader forums at pspupdates.com.


Future plans:
-------------

Please see the "Work In Progress" page at www.fanjita.org.

Please let me know if you test and can confirm compatibility of
other EBOOTs.

If you find an EBOOT that doesn't work, then please email me at

[e-mail]

with details of:
- the name of the EBOOT that failed, and where to get it from
- the last message that was displayed on the PSP screen
- your firmware version, and PSP region (US, EU, JP).

NOTE: Kernel-mode support is currently not possible on v2.0+
firmware, until someone finds a way to access the kernel memory
space.


Acknowledgements:
-----------------

This app wouldn't have been possible without the toc2rta TIFF
exploit code, or Saotome's hard work on the first beta EBOOT
loader, or the support of the fantastic folks at the ps2dev.org
forums (especially Groepaz's list of NID -> syscall mappings,
and Vampyre's continuing efforts to expand that list).

Thanks to Edison Carter (and later Jim Paris and psp123) for
the development of the GTA savegame exploit, which made
homebrew possible on v2.01+.

Thanks to all the forum mods at PSPUpdates.QJ.net, and
operators in the #fanjita IRC channel, for supporting all the
questions from eLoader users. Special thanks to Serideth, who
seems to never sleep.

Thanks to Calum for his customised front-end menu. If you want
to know how to produce a customised menu, see the forums at
forums.qj.net. Note that you can change the artwork by
replacing /psp/game/loadmenu.tga with another 24-bit
uncompressed TGA file, resolution 480x272 pixels.

Thanks also to the many beta testers for their hard work beta
testing, as well as many other individual email contributions
with information on which EBOOTs are working.

If you have found this program useful and want to encourage
further development, please consider donating a small amount
via paypal to [e-mail].

Change history:
---------------
v0.9.7 : Wifi for all
- Add dynamic wifi loading support: automatically
determines whether your application requires wifi, and
loads the correct libraries.
- Added config parameter to control warning if wifi can't
be loaded.
- Added config parameter to control code relocation (might
help some apps)
- Added memory stick scan-caching in the menu.

v0.9.6 : Configurability, Infra-Red
- Support SIRCS infra-red (GTA only)
- Added config option to use old memory manager code
(might help some apps)
- Added config option to limit thread stack sizes (helps
some apps)
- Moved config option to clear RAM after menu on a
per-EBOOT basis
- Moved config option to delete user-main thread on a
per-EBOOT basis
- Moved config option to delete system threads on a
per-EBOOT basis - Allowed separate configs for GTA and
TIFF
- Add USB support to the menu (TIFF only)
- Support O as well as X to select in the menu
- Added square to generate EBOOT ID in menu
- Fixed most corrupted images in menu
- Fix clearRAMafterMenu option for TIFF
- Fixed "patchkernelwarning" bug
- Added GTA autoload option to installer
- Made fixed paths easier to change with hex editor
- Add latest config update

v0.9.5 : v2.01 / v2.5 / v2.6 support!
- Added stable GTA exploit loader
- Rewrote NID resolution code to support different
firmware versions.
- Removed kernel-mode warning by default
- Improved audio stability
- Improved thread tidy-up upon program exit - no more dead
copies of user_main lying around.
- Improved memory tidy-up and integration with system heap:
this gives more memory available to homebrew, and is a
factor in the GBA emulator now working.
- Massively improved stability, especially for GTA
- Added config option to not call exit callback (should
help with apps that crash on exit)
- Added config option to not automatically prevent display
dimming (saves power)
- Added config option to control system bus speed.
- Added automated installer for Windows

v0.9 : Wifi support, stability
- Added wifi support! Now the loader auto-detects if the
wifi libraries are loaded (via the wifi load method
above) and offers them to homebrew for use.
- Added call to application exit callback, to allow RIN
etc. to save state when L+R+START reset is used.
- Added memory reset after running the menu. This should
make things much less sensitive to whatever has been run
before them. Can be turned off in config.
- Added memory reset on exit - this might make it easier
to restart the loader.
- Added config option to fake success code from unknown
functions
- Added clock-speed option to the config file, to allow
automatic overclocking / underclocking of applications.

v0.8.5 : Flexibility, compatibility
- Introduce configuration file, to allow tweaking of
EBOOTs by end-users. See loader085.cfg for details.
- Improved kernel-mode override patching logic.
- Attempt to kill surplus system threads, for stability.
- Run loader from reserved memory for increased stability.
- Tidied up some memory reuse in ELF section header
handling
- Bundled graphical menu now filters to only display the
names of EBOOTs for selection - all the surplus fluff is
hidden. Also now handles v1.5 homebrew directory structure.
- Added option to allow L+R+START reset to go back to
loader menu, rather than main menu

v0.8 : Usability, compatibility
- Added capability to reboot the PSP without holding the
power button. During any EBOOT, just hold Left Trigger,
Right Trigger and START buttons for 1 second to exit the
loader and reboot back to the PSP menu.
- Separated menu binary from loader binary, to allow
custom menu creation. Included custom menu by Calum.
- Added kernel-mode override facility - allows the loader
to attempt to load apps marked as kernel-mode, that
don't really require kernel access. This doesn't enable
a huge number of apps, but it does enable a few - e.g.
ScummVM 0.5, PSPChess, Nethack. Expect more progress in
the future.
- Relax requirement to resolve all NIDs. Now you can
choose to ignore failed NIDs in the hope that they
aren't required.
- Improved USER_LUA stability (by incorporating the 0.7
USER_LUA patch)
- Added PowerTick() call to prevent display dimming during
play
- Skip calling .init code by default
- Allow easier co-existence of multiple loader versions.
- Improve memory and thread manager semaphoring.
- Added all remaining VSH-mode NIDs, thanks to Vampyre's work.
- Moved working EBOOT list to new web-page.
- Filled in some missing opcodes from the disassembler
- Added syscall dereferencing to disassembler
- Added hook to sceKernelCreateThread, to improve thread
monitoring
- Reduced screen spam during loading, by moving it to
debug-only build
- Attempt to load more of the ELF sections into RAM if
appropriate
- Retired hokey malloc implementation during file load,
use proper memory blocks now.

v0.7 : Compatibility, usability
- Implement simple internal memory manager, hooked onto
firmware memory management, to boost memory pool
available to applications.
- Hook thread allocation and exit, to allow for clean
return to the loader from applications that support an
Exit option.
- Improve code signature algorithm to distinguish between
similar EBOOTs (fixes mis-identification of Casino
Addict as SMS emulator).
- Added overclocking option : use left and right trigger
buttons when choosing file to change CPU speed.
- Add NID resolution for Sircs function : enables PSP IR
Remote function.
- Add USB stubs to user-mode LUA, and better debug info in
case of script errors.
- Added left and right DPAD support in file-chooser, to go
to the start and end of the list
- Now supports more than 20 files in a directory
- Found pathname hack to run PSP Rhythm Composer.
- Improved cache flushing, should improve reliability
- Added safeguard to prevent PSPSet from being run and
bricking 2.0.

v0.6 : Compatibility and stability
- bundle user-mode LUA player.
- only process stringtable section header and .reginfo,
all others are unused.
- setup $gp register from .reginfo
- change folder thumbnail to smaller image, improves
launch stability.
- added scan for EBOOTs with hard-coded paths.
- clear display RAM before starting some EBOOTs, to clear
up some graphical anomalies.
- added direct seek to ELF header - much much faster file
loading.

v0.5 : More compatibility enhancements, bug fixes
- Better argc/argv handling, prevents a common cause of
startup crashes (e.g. PSP Schedule).
- Made the 'return to chooser' function more stable. It
now shouldn't affect how well the next EBOOT loads.
- Improved file scanning speed - large EBOOTs should load
much faster.
- Added 'alternate startup parameters', use this to run
Sega Master System emulator which was broken in v0.4.
- Introduced 'EBOOT signatures' : known workarounds for
specific EBOOTs should now be turned on automatically,
and install location can be automatically checked if a
specific path is required.
- Added support for .init sections, should help avoid a
few more startup crashes.
- Added option to return to EBOOT chooser on final
confirmation menu.
- Version number shown on screen fixed.
- Lots more info in readme file.
- Various minor bugfixes.

v0.4 : Usability & reliability enhancements
- Return to menu if possible after failed load. NOTE :
this is a bit flaky, and mainly designed for quick
checks for kernel-mode apps, etc. If something crashes
after you ran through a few EBOOTs that wouldn't load,
it's worth retrying it immediately after a reboot.
- Experimented with exception handlers for extra
diagnostics, but this is not possible in user-mode (and
anyway the appropriate syscall code is unknown for v2.0).
- Fixed overflow with more than 19 directory entries - now
apps that failed just after EBOOT selection will get
further.
- Added set up of argv, argc to supply path arguments -
helps for Ghost In The Matrix, possibly others.
- Changed load address to 0x0860000, to allow more
headroom for increased loader complexity. Also begun
integrating Abu's loader code with the TIF file.

v0.3 : Compatibility enhancements
- Allow browsing of multiple EBOOTs
- Change directory to selected EBOOT location
(adds sounds to Attack of the Mutants)
- Restore screen mode before running EBOOT
(improves reliability)
- Allow multiple text segments in ELF

v0.2 : Original version, ported to C from original v0.1
EBOOT loader by Saotome.

I researched and can't find it. Can someone please tell me and help.

Try rereading things before giving up

From the aforementioned installation guide:

You can obtain the emulator here:
yoyofr92.free.fr/psp/files/snes9xTYL-0.3.zip (obviously change this for the non me 0.4.1 version)

You will need winzip to extract the files.
Once you have extracted the file, attach you PSP to your computer via a USB cable.

Place the extracted folders and all their files onto the memory stick in the folder titled "Game"

Place any roms within the folder titled "s9xTYL" and play away.

[weberman]

Man tsurumaru that emulator works terrible on my 2.60 psp, it's way too slow and choppy any one know how to fix that?

[manias]

turn on 333mhz and don't run 0.3 but get 0.41 and READ UP it's so obvious you didn't do squat
