Installing TimeMachine & DCv7&8 as TM Firmwares

[ruyor]

---Information---

Do you like switching firmwares on your hackable PSP? Would you like to multi-boot firmwares off of your memstick? Then this tut is for you! This tut will teach you how to install and configure TimeMachine, install and mod DCv7 and DCv8 to act like TimeMachine firmwares, and how to make everything work together.

This will not work on a TA-088v3, PSP-3000, or a Go, TimeMachine requires the use of service mode/Pandora to work which isn't available to TA-088v3 or PSP-3000 because of the IPL problem

---Requirements---

Free space stated below is for a full install based on that system (Refer to the Compatibility section), you can choose not to install certain firmwares if you don't want them

For a Phat (PSP-1000):
At least 210 MB free space on your memstick
A Pandora's Battery

For a Slim (PSP-2000):
At least 210 MB free space on your memstick
A Pandora's Battery or 2 batteries (one Pandora and one normal)(depends on the firmware you have on your NAND, I will explain in the next section)

For both Phat and Slim:
At least 250 MB free space on your memstick
A Pandora's Battery or 2 batteries (one Pandora and one normal)(depends on the firmware you have on your Slims NAND, I will explain in the next section)

---Battery Info---

I bet your saying to yourself: "Why do I need a Pandora's battery?" or "Why do I sometimes need 2 batteries for a Slim?" We'll tackle those ?s in order:

1st up, "Why do I need a Pandora's battery?" TimeMachine is set up to use service mode to boot firmwares off of the memory stick, and a Pandora's battery is what puts a PSP into service mode.

2nd, "Why do I sometimes need 2 batteries for a Slim?" The reason you sometimes need 2 batteries for a Slim is clearly stated in the Time Machine readme:

Timemachine nand boot in slim, requires, however, 3.90 M33-2 or greater (CFW)

This means if you have 3.90 M33-2 or higher CFW, you can use a Pandora's battery to boot everything including the firmware on your NAND, but if you have CFW lower than 3.90 M33-2 or OFW you can't boot to NAND using a Pandora's battery, it'll act like a brick. To sum things up:

Slim NAND boot chart:

Firmware on NAND-| Battery to boot to NAND
=================|=====================
3.90 M33-2+ CFW---| Pandora or Normal
=================|=====================
Under 3.90 M33-2---| Normal
=================|=====================
Any OFW-------------| Normal
=================|=====================
OFW w/ Custom IPL| Pandora or Normal
=================|=====================

---Compatibility---

TimeMachine has 4 different firmwares available to install to your memstick, but only certain ones work on certain PSP models, below is a list of those firmwares and which PSP they will work on:

Firmware-----------------------------| PSP Model
=============================|==============
1.50 OFW ----------------------------| Phat
=============================|==============
1.50 OFW w/ 3.40 HW Modules----| Phat and Slim
=============================|==============
3.40 OE-A-----------------------------| Phat
=============================|==============
3.60 M33------------------------------| Slim
=============================|==============

This tutorial will also help you install the following firmwares to act like TM firmwares:

Firmware-----------------------------| PSP Model
=============================|==============
4.01 M33-2----------------------------| Phat and Slim
=============================|==============
5.00 M33-4----------------------------| Phat and Slim
=============================|==============

So in other words, if you have a Phat you can get 5 extra firmwares doing this, if you have a Slim you get 4

---Installing the TimeMachine Firmwares---

Unrar "timemachine_0.1.rar"

Copy the folder "TIMEMACHINE" to "X:/PSP/GAME" (X = your PSP's drive letter)

Copy the following files to X:/
150.PBP
340.PBP
360.PSAR

You only have to install the firmwares you want or can use, so if you don't want or can't use a certain firmware, skip to the next one (Refer to the Compatibility section above for which firmwares will work on which system)

Run "Time Machine"


"Install iplloader on PSP MS boot sector"


"Press X to return to main menu"


"Install 1.50 (PHAT)"


"Press X to return to main menu"


"Install 1.50 with 3.40 hw modules (PHAT&SLIM)"


"Press X to return to main menu"


"Install 3.40 OE (PHAT)"


"Press X to return to main menu"


"Install 3.60 M33 (SLIM)"


"Press X to return to main menu"


Exit TimeMachine


You should now be able to fully shutdown your PSP and reboot into different firmwares by holding the following buttons while turning it on:

Firmware-----------------------------| Buttons
=============================|==============
1.50 OFW ----------------------------| X
=============================|==============
1.50 OFW w/ 3.40 HW Modules----| O
=============================|==============
3.40 OE-A-----------------------------| Triangle
=============================|==============
3.60 M33------------------------------| Square
=============================|==============

Refer to the Compatibility section for what firmwares will boot on which PSP






You can now delete 150.PBP, 340.PBP, and 360.PSAR from your memstick.

---Installing DCv7---

Unrar "despertar7.rar"

Copy the folder "DC7" to "X:/PSP/GAME" (X = your PSP's drive letter)

Copy 401.PBP to X:/

Make sure to set your theme to "Original" or "Classic"

Run "Despertar del Cementerio v7.77"


"Press X to begin the installation"


After installation, hold a button(s) to boot DCv7


Then press X to exit


You can now delete 401.PBP from your memstick.

---Modding DCv7 to boot directly into Test M33---

Connect your memstick to your computer

Unrar "pandora_elf_menu_03a.rar"

Find the file "resurrection.prx" in "X:\TM\DC7\kd" (X = your PSP's Drive letter)

Re-name it to "resurrection.prx.orig"

In the folder "pandora_elf_menu_03a\kd" on your computer, you will find a "resurrection.elf" file, re-name this file to "resurrection.prx" and place it in "X:\TM\DC7\kd" (X = your PSP's Drive letter)

You will get a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on the first boot of 4.01 M33-2, just press O and reset everything

You now have 4.01 M33-2 as a TM firmware!


---Installing DCv8---

Unzip "dc8.zip"

Copy the folder "dc8" (the one with the eboot in it) to "X:/PSP/GAME" (X = your PSP's drive letter)

Copy 500.PBP to X:/

Make sure your theme is set to "Original" or "Classic"

Run "Despertar del Cementerio v8"


"Press X to begin the installation"


After installation, hold a button to boot DCv8


Then press X to exit


You can now delete 500.PBP from your memstick.

---Modding DCv8 to boot directly into Test M33---

Connect your memstick to your computer

Unrar "pandora_elf_menu_03a.rar"

Find the file "resurrection.prx" in "X:\TM\DC8\kd" (X = your PSP's Drive letter)

Re-name it to "resurrection.prx.orig"

In the folder "pandora_elf_menu_03a\kd" on your computer, you will find a "resurrection.elf" file, re-name this file to "resurrection.prx" and place it in "X:\TM\DC8\kd" (X = your PSP's Drive letter)

You will get a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on the first boot of 5.00 M33-4, just press O and reset everything

You now have 5.00 M33-4 as a TM firmware!


---Configuring Everything to Work Correctly---

Go to "X:\TM\" on your memstick, you will find a "config.txt" file, open it and you should see something like this:

Code: Select all

DOWN = "/TM/DC8/ipl.bin";
UP+L = "/TM/DC7/ipl.bin";
CROSS = "/TM/150/ipl.bin";
CIRCLE = "/TM/150_340/ipl.bin";
TRIANGLE = "/TM/340OE/ipl.bin";
SQUARE = "/TM/360M33/ipl.bin";
UP = "/TM/pandora.bin";

Rename that file to "configorig.txt" and download this one (or you can make your own), this is my personal config.txt that is setup to use only your left hand to hold buttons which makes it easier to hold buttons while turning it on:

TMConfig.zip

(211 Bytes) Downloaded 231 times

It looks like this:

Code: Select all

L+UP = "/TM/DC7/ipl.bin";
UP = "/TM/DC8/ipl.bin";
RIGHT = "/TM/340OE/ipl.bin";
L = "/TM/150/ipl.bin";
LEFT = "/TM/150_340/ipl.bin";
DOWN = "/TM/360M33/ipl.bin";
NOTHING = "NAND";

Here is what it translates to:

Firmware-----------------------------| Buttons
=============================|===================
1.50 OFW ----------------------------| L Trigger
=============================|===================
1.50 OFW w/ 3.40 HW Modules----| D-Pad Left
=============================|===================
3.40 OE-A-----------------------------| D-Pad Right
=============================|===================
3.60 M33------------------------------| D-Pad Down
=============================|===================
4.01 M33-2----------------------------| L Trigger + D-Pad Up
=============================|===================
5.00 M33-4----------------------------| D-Pad Up
=============================|===================

Google is your friend, also, wrong thread.
You can only play ISOs of games you own, so just use the UMDs.
