Sources for the Monster Hunter VHBL uploaded

I just uploaded the sources for Neur0n’s Monster Hunter VHBL port to our SVN.

This brings the VHBL SVN to revision 161, but technically there is nothing different between R161 and the Revision 160 that was released yesterday. Well, the one difference is that besides Neur0n and myself, nobody could compile the Monster Hunter port on Revision 160, but it is now possible.

The main change between this port and the previous VHBL releases is the new compile-time defines HARDCODED_IMPORTS_CONFIG and SMALL_FILENAMES. These 2 values will force VHBL into using 8.3 filenames. In particular for nids, check out the lib66x_short subfolder, this also means that the imports.config_66x file needs to be renamed into IMPORTS.DAT.

Assuming Sony doesn’t “long term” patch VHBL, future VHBL ports will need to follow these naming conventions and add these 2 defines in their config. So if you are currently working on a VHBL port, please take this into account.

If you are not a developer, you are probably simply looking for the latest VHBL binaries, you can find them there.

      Did you get the gba.bios? I installed gpsp just fine. I have not been able to download the vita ready picodrive to test it yet.

    I got gpsp to install using the cavestory vhbl ready download, and creating the INSTALL.ZIP archive from a psp gpsp already in use. Of course installing from the wmenu or ymenu savegame folder and choosing to install the zip fron there.

    Noob question. Do you need a PSP for compiling or testing or can it all be done with only a Windows computer and a Vita?

      You don’t need a PSP, but it would be extremely useful for debugging. Debugging on the vita is a nightmare.

    I don’t understand why Sony is against VHBL.It doesn’t let you pirate any games or hack the store,it just lets people play some games by other people.

      If you were an investor and saw that the product you’re putting big money down for has a lot of “holes” for third parties to explore taking the attention away from the first party publishers and developers ….wouldn’t that turn you off from putting money into that product? I’m just saying. I’m all for VHBL, it opens up more potential for the Vita, but you also have to look at it from Sony’s POV too. They do have a reputation to uphold and they are trying to make money themselves so that they can get investors to put money into dev teams to make more games and etc. I personally don’t think Sony’s against VHBL, they just want to look spiffy for their investors so they have to take measures.

      BUMP.
      This is my question exactly too.
      Install Files take up double the space when app installed right?

      Or is it just a shortcut pointing to the install files from the Game folder?

      Thanks!

        It takes double the space, but once you installed you can delete the savedata from CMA, it is not useful anymore
