TUTORIAL to Launch psp games from LiveArea

Today we decided to release our method to run psp games from LiveArea (as bubbles), so here is your christmas gift :

We managed to grab arguments passed to pspemu app when you start a game :

originalpath=ux0:pspemu/PSP/GAME/NPUG80318& selfpath=ux0:pspemu/PSP/GAME/NPUG80318/EBOOT.PBP& discid=NPUG80318&parentallevel=3&gamedataid=&appver=00.00& bootable=1&category=EG

So as you can see, arguments are splitted with '&', and folder name is shown at the beggining, that means we can inject our own arguments by renaming the folder of our game :)

So, the trick is to rename a psn game to MyHomebrew&
Then, create another folder named MyHomebrew
Finally, rebuild database.

When you will start the game, the EBOOT.PBP from MyHomebrew folder will be started instead of MyHomebrew& eboot.

So all you have to do is sign your homebrew using fake_np with the original psn game eboot as base eboot (tutorials are available everywhere, just google it) and put the signed eboot into the MyHomebrew folder

Start the psn game from the LiveArea, your homebrew will now run !

this method works up to fw 3.35

Have fun and merry christmas to everyone !

Does this require a VHBL exploit game?

You have to rename the folder somehow, so yes, a VHBL is required (or a lower fw with an already working exploit, which then is updated to 3.35).

so if i understand correctly we have to give up one psn game for the homebrew we want? im not complaining or nothing but i cant really understand most of the tutorial could someone post something a little more newbie friendly because altought im used to hard stuff (i used to use pandoras battery and stuff like that) i really did not get the vita thing yet im currently using a patapon 2 exploit on my 3.18 vita thank you in advance

PS: im not refering to signing the eboot cause i know how to do that i just dont get the rest

The bit i am stuck on is

"put the signed EBOOT into the MYHomebrew folder"

Using filer its renamed Qboot
Using FTP it Becomes Fboot.

If i install it via TNV its an Fboot

Can you shed more light on this stage?

rename the (FBOOT.PBP) to (EBOOT.PBP.)
