Help! PSP Not Recognizing Emulators After Successful CFW DL

Post by InertiaticESP » Wed Aug 12, 2015 1:50 pm

Feel free to move this question if I'm not in the correct forum, I'm fairly new.

I've followed the Wololo.net walkthrough to download the PRO VSH custom firmware and successfully got 6.60 PRO-BP software on my PSP 1001. I'm able to access the PRO VSH menu through Select, and have made sure that "NoDRM Engine" is enabled (it was default) in the PRO Recovery/Advanced Menu.

After doing this, along with downloading several Emulators (NES, NeoGeo, Sega, etc, etc) and a bunch of ROMs, nothing shows up in my "Game/Memory Stick". I can only think of two reasons why things aren't being shown:

a) My PSP 1001 is too new for this to work. I tend to think this isn't correct because I have CFM successfully downloaded.

b) The organization of folders on M:/PSP/Game isn't correct. I placed the emulator folders that were downloaded (some have multiple layers) in the Game folder. Is there some science to getting emulators to work in this folder? Are there certain files that have to be directly in the Game folder rather than a sub folder? If so, where do you put the ROMs and other support files? I think this is where I'm scr..ing up. I'd gladly show screenshots of folder structure. I've read there are file organizers so perhaps this is an option, but I just want it to freaking work first.

Thanks!!

OK wow well first off there's so much you have wrong in that post that I don't even want to get started or I would be ranting for hours!
But! I am pretty sure the problem is you simply are not placing stuff correctly so it's an easy enough fix.

Right so emulators and the such do go in "ms0:/PSP/GAME/" like you seem to be doing but in "GAME" you would need to have a subfolder that can be named anything but name it after whatever the homebrew is then in that place the EBOOT.PBP and its accompanying files and folders

Think if the ".PBP" as a ".exe", It's what the PSP looks for and what it executes.
