7 Now right click on the psp folder and click add to zip make sure you select store and zip file and rename the file INSTALL.ZIP
8 Now press ok it will leave you with a INSTALL.ZIP file
9 Now you need a psp save game folder for any game put that into your cma savegamedata folder (USE THE SAVEGAME FOLDER BELOW YOU MUST EXTRACT IT)

STEP 6:

No the home brew is not a folder its your home brew file whatever it is

My VHBL cant find the install.zip. this is frustrating

Copy the homebrew into your save folder so you have a folder with install.zip/param.sfo/icon0.png inside your save folder. Toss as many homebrews as you want in separate folders like that.

Start VHBL, push L, pick one of the folders, and you should be good to go.

I use the same save data folder all the time just delete the install.zip file after your done installing and copy the next one and install it easy.

Every time I do this on 3.36 it will freeze up on what seems to be extracting, because on 3.35 I was able to install VitaFTP, then I updated to 3.36 and now I am not able to install any new home-brews and VitaFTP won't establish any connections. (using a custom bubble made with Final Fantasy Tactics) does this have to do with the PSP folder lock down under 3.36 as my home-brews are installed to "ms0:/PSP/VHBL/" ? Any other suggestions?

I cant get the install.zip to show up after transfer. It just doesn't appear no matter the save file I use.

[Heathen711]

Place the INSTALL.ZIP into any game save then transfer the game save, when you load the VHBL press 'L' and select the game save folder and it will prompt you to install.

Make sure you have it titled "INSTALL.ZIP" otherwise it won't transfer under CMA (QCMA will transfer other files though)
