I dun goofed somewhere, now I need help. =/

Postby metalslug53 » Tue Apr 24, 2012 4:01 am

Okay, so just like everyone else, today I began to fiddle with the VHBL for Super Collapse 3. I was successfully able to install MasterBoy and PicoDrive with no issues. My problems stem from when I installed GPSP, the Gameboy Advance emulator.

From what I can conclude, when I downloaded and re-compressed the homebrew files into a zip, I must have accidentally put all of the files inside of a folder called "Install" before I actually compressed it down to the "install.zip" needed for the process. When I ran the install through HBL, the instillation when through correctly and extracted everything fine, however instead of placing the homebrew file into the "GAME" folder on the memory card, it placed it in a new directory called "Install" instead. Now, whenever I open HBL and browse to the homebrew, I have to go out of the "GAME" directory and into this new one in order to launch GPSP.

Normally, I wouldn't be so OCD about something like this and just deal with the one extra step to load my emulator. My issues began when I decided that I wanted more GBA roms on my Vita. Normally, what I was doing was using the Vita's "Settings" menu to delete the corrupted files and reinstalling them with everything I need. However, because HBL installed this homebrew into a different directory, I cannot browse to and delete GPSP from the Settings menu. So now, I have about 400mb of info on my card that I cannot gain access to and/or remove.

Does anyone have any suggestions? At this point, I have done everything I can think of outside of formatting the card and starting over, which I don't want to risk if I don't have to. Is there a homebrew file that will allow me to edit files on the memory card?

Any help is appreciated.

the only way I can think of to fix this would be PSPFiler
but unfortunately that homebrew wont work as AFAIK (I tried 6.6 & 4.4 and one I found in a jpns site)
(it said it was for HBL)

I think you might be screwed :|

sorry

If I back up all of my save states, downloaded game titles, and apps, can I just reformat the card and reinstall everything using OpenCMA?

The only savestates I am concerned with are the ones for my PSP and vita games. I'm sure I can back those up using OpenCMA.

I think he means game game saves, as in the actual PSP and Vita games (Disgaea, Monster Hunter etc), not the homebrew save files. Those are unable to be copied as of right now.

Hapio is right, that's exactly what I meant.

Anyways, status update: I successfully formatted my card, after backing up all my games and game save states. Everything has been redownloaded and I am currently in the process of putting all my homebrew back on. I learned that NesterJ is now compatible, so I have added that to my homebrew list. I now am waiting for Cave Story to become compatible, so when that happens I will be happy. =D

Couldn't get nesterj to work but I had files for a nesterp on my psp that did. I also took cave story from my psp which also worked.
