WTH

This game requires a PSP with a Custom Firmware (or homebrew-enabled if you can’t have custom firmware on your PSP) to run. If you don’t know what Custom Firmwares are, then it is highly probable that this game won’t run on your PSP

The current version is version 0.7.1

This homebrew has been tested on several PSPs including mine, and I believe it is not harmful. However this is a work in progress and it is unstable. Please use at your own risk, and check the buglist.



Download WTH0.7.1

Misc

Windows Version

In order to install the windows version, you need to download the PSP version first, as it contains the “Res” directory that you need to copy from the PSP version to the Windows Version. (more info in the Readme)
Wagic 0.7.1 for Windows

If you get an error that says : “this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect”, you probably need to install the Visual++ package from microsoft here. If you still have problems, check the forum thread

This version is open source and released under the BSD License. Please download the source, I would love to get feedback on the code itself, especially how difficult it is to make it compile from scratch.

When I attempt to click on the Donate button paypal has an error. It says:

“Error Detected

We were unable to decrypt the certificate id.”

This is not a browser errror. It seems like paypal is sending this error message.

Thanks. It seems the “encrypted” version of their button is not working for me. I think it’s corrected. Thanks for your support !

hello im a fanatic of magic the game cards, and i have try your homebrew mth? and its awesome, i always think that magic cant be played in psp!! congratulations!!. i wait new cards and new sets (specially the newest of magic the gathering like lorwyn, guildpact, etc… it will be fantastic for fans like me enjoying new versions of this cool game). i wait that some bugs repairs too. sorry for my english, im a spanish guy…. a very good game. by the way, when will you release more cards? THANK YOU!! i like this site.

i get an error when I open the game
The game could not be started (80020148)
i have a psp slim please respond cause i want to play badly

hey denvy, I guess your PSP doesn’t have a custom firmware… please go to PSP dedicated forums for that specific problem.
It is also possible that the game does not work on the slim, although I highly doubt that, since it was programmed from the start to work on firmwares 3.xx

congratulations on the upcoming marriage, i just was married 4 months ago. i am going to check out you rh/b because i have wanted this concept on my psp.

every time i attempt to copy or extract it, it ends up corrupted

Do you mean that the zip file is corrupted, or the game appears as “corrupted” on your psp ?
In the first case, try to download the game from another site, either qj.net or pspgen.com
In the second case, I suspect this is because the game was put in an incorrect folder ? This is a 3.xx game, so that may be the reason ?

what folder are you supposed to download it in?

nvm i found it, but do you need a custom firmware?

i love this homebrew, but one option that id like to see implemented into the options menu some time down the line is an ability to disable teh nub

how do i download it into my pc?

@john: yes, you need a Custom firmware
@Paul: the PC version is not available, because it has a shitty interface. If you want to play Magic on your PC, I suggest you try a freeware named “MTGForge”
@lainlives: never realized the nub was doing that (probably an option in the lib I use). I’ll try to deactivate it in the next version.

how do i install =)

@archie: there’s a readme file in the zip archive that explains how to install the game, it should be pretty straightforward. If you have problems, please tell me specifically what you did and what happened.
Oh, and that’s obvious, but you need a custom firmware to run this game.

I am getting a lot of lockups using the deck builder when cycling through the cards. It just locks up at random, not sure why as there’s nothing specific I’m doing when it locks up, although it seems to happen a bit when I add a card to my deck.

Looking superb otherwise!

Hey Blackthorn. The reason for the crashes in the Deck Editor is unknown from me yet, but I confirm it happens to me too from time to time. Fixing that is one of my priorities for the next release.

Hi, i see in your PDF file your homebrew running in a emulator.
What emulator you is using to run homebrews?

Hi biohazard, I am not running the homebrew in an emulator, this is the windows version of the homebrew that I use for developing and screen captures.

I love the whole idea, and am definitely looking forward to a more stable release, and of course more cards from all the other sets, ie, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends, The Dark, Fallen Empires, Homelands, Ice Age, Alliances, Coldsnap, Mirage, Visions, Weatherlight, Tempest, Stronghold, Exodus, Urza’s Saga, Urza’s Legacy, Urza’s Destiny, Mercadian Masques, Nemesis, Prophecy, Invasion, Planeshift, Apocalypse, Odyssey, Torment, Judgment, Onslaught, Legions, Scourge, Mirrodin, Darksteel, Fifth Dawn, Champions of Kamigawa, Betrayers of Kamigawa, Saviors of Kamigawa, Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, Dissension, Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, Future Sight, Lorwyn, Morningtide, Shadowmoor, Eventide, Shards of Alara, Conflux, and etc for the future coming sets. That would definitely be an amazing amount of card support for complete sets, but I think you started off in the right place, but it would be nice to see the store have sorted sets to make purchases from as the version progress. Of course bug free releases would be great too, but I still love the whole idea.

Greetings from Brazil =)

I’m still downloading this and the other MTG homebrew for psp, but want to say thanks for the effort on the advance.

Hope that in the future we have a perfecty functional mtg game on psp, with all sets (it would be huge with all the card images =P) and maybe even a online server (dream…).

Well, i will give a look and see if I can help with something…

Good job really.

Hope the further rules will be implemented like the creature protection avoid to be blocked by the indicate colors, the persist abilities and some creatures complicated skill like Dwarven warriors…

BUT beware of the freeze on psp slim 3.90 (for me) that once completly blocked the boot until I decided to plug in to test the recharge light. NO criticals problems on 3.40 Fat however.

I will search the creation card section to help you cause you deserved it ;).
PS: I recommand the Hyptnotic specter from 3rd edition cause the 10th hasn’t flying °_°.

I dont know how to get the jge on the psp. I need some help i have psp 3.80 and I need the files for it because im getting the error (80020148) I can prolly help get the game fully working and help get some bugs fixed if i can just get the jge files that would just be lovely.

@Blixt : yes, if the psp crashes while you have low battery, then you’ll have to plug it in to the AC adaptor. You’re not the first one noticing it, and the first time it happened it freaked me out :p

@seth : I sent you an email. As far as I know nobody except me have ever compiled the source, so I’m not even sure the zip package available here contains all the files.

hi :
congratulations for the game, look interesting! but…
i get an error when I open the game
The game could not be started (80020148)
the version of the system is 4.0.1 , do you think is for that?

Hi Erik. You need a custom Firmware to run the game.
If you have a CFW, then be sure to put the game in the GAME Folder, not in the Game150 folder

I love this homebrew. I’ve been waiting for a single player “W”agic game ever since I used to play it on the PC. I had a couple thoughts.

(1) I realize that you’re probably busy trying to stabilize the basic program, but would you consider adding a adventure style map where you obtain new cards by fighting enemies or a story type mode? I don’t know why I liked this on the PC, and it isn’t true to the game, but it was fun for me.

(2) I can’t seem to use spellblast. When I cast it, how do I target the spell in question? If I interrupt, it dissapears from the screen. Am I missing something in the instructions?

Thanks and please keep up the great work.

Hello Marco.
counterspells (including spellBlast) are completely bugged and simply do not work in the current version.

Lots of people have asked for a “campaign” mode, and I’d like to this this happening too. I haven’t worked on it currently, but this is in the list of thing I want :)

Can I download this for free?
*hides in shame*
^//^

Well, you’re on the download page, and there’s a link, so, yes, why not ?

Greetings from Greece! I’m Obliged to say that is a fine piece of homebrew you have here! Brilliant looking, even though is an early beta version! please keep the project up and we shall support you

I just thought of something else last night. I’m sure that this has been suggested before as well, but another option instead of a campaign mode would be “tournaments” against AI. I know NOTHING about programming (shame) but it seems like setting up a bracket wouldn’t be as difficult as setting up a campaign mode.

Well anyway, please don’t take anything I say as a knock on your great homebrew. I look forward to another release with more stability and more cards.

(My vote for the new cards would be counter spells)

im trying to install the game, but it still doesn’t want to work. it doesnt show up on the game selections… i tried putting it in the main area, ISO, PSP folder, game folder… i extracted the file though… i only transferred the PSP folder from the zip file which includes the game folder, then in it is the BOOT and res.

it ses game is corrupted..

Make sure that your Game folder is set to Kernel 3xx (I think it is the default on new CFWs…)
What CFW are you running on ? I know that it runs correctly on 3.71 , 4.01, and 5.00 (M33, obviously), so there shouldn’t be any huge issue with any CFW, really…

I have system version 5.01 and everything thing downloads fine, but when i got to play it says : This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted.

Hi Jeremy, do you have any problem with other homebrews ?
This game is set to run on the 3.xx kernel. I haven’t tried myself on a 5.01 M33, but got report it works fine.

everything downloads great. i even added additional card packs such as ice age and dark. i was really excited about magic on psps. i even tried downloading alpha and 1.0 after 0.2.1 didnt work first and no successful results. vasically, all the card sets are downloaded, but playing the actual game has not been possible yet

i get the res file and EBOOT.PBP after copy of PSP, but when accessing from PSP, it still gives me same error

the other thing i noticed as well, right after the 1st download completes, it says folder gnixxxxxx, or something along those lines is copied to the download location, but doesnt actually exist when you look for it. I know i have downloaded demos form playstation directly and they state you must have it in a specific folder for it to work. Example….i downloaded Worms 2 but it had to be created under folder ULUS10260 for it to work properly. not sure if this affects the download process or not. Evertime i try and download MTG, the very last download lists a folder #, but its too quick to write down to try and load it the same way as Worms 2

Errr, you don’t have a custom firmware, do you ?
This game does not run on an official Sony firmware, you need a hacked psp to run it…

where do i need to go to make it work? i have a psp 1001

pardon my simplicity, but i am there now…..could you walk me thru it?…..im sorry, but i appreciate the work i have seen already from your site and wish to be able to play MTG

do i select 3.71 fatmsmod for 5.00 M33 or 5.00 M33-3. or Popsloader for 5.00 M33 or 1.50 Kernel addon for 5.00 M33. and then release or mirror

You still there?

Although I like my blog, I’m not constantly looking at it ;)
I won’t help you install custom firmware, use google for that, or the dedicated forums (for example at pspupdates, you have a bunch of tutorials)

Thank You for your help…..i hope i can figure it out

Geez…I remember the very first Magic The Gathering Game for PC and I loved to play that one forever. When I heard about this project I was a bit sceptical…the version number being at 0.2x is totally misleading though. Yes it has bugs but it is playable!
Its working already like a charm and it feels like the old PC game just with polished graphics. Im more than impressed by your work!
I also have some suggestions:
1. Even when I sell all cards that I dont need I never have enough credits to buy all the cards that I would need for my deck. I played Magic for a damn long time so I know what cards I need and want to build a deck but it is impossible due to lack of credits.
2. Cant win a match because Im lacking of cards (see 1.)
3. Boosterpacks are useless kinda. Usually you decide for one color or maybe two. In that case buying a Boosterpack for 2/3 of your total credits is not only waste of money but also useless since it contains many colors (randomly I assume)
4. Starterpack I couldnt test because of lack of money
5. lack of money ;P do you earn some IF you eventually should win a match?
Well just suggestions/questions so please dont feel offended since like I stated before Im more than impressed what you created here. Thanks a lot.

Hi TrueMOD.
Winning a game gives you 500 credits. After a few games, you’ll have decks so powerful that money won’t be a problem anymore, trust me.
If you have cards that you want to get rid of, you can sell them using the X button in the deck editor

Hey just got this game this morning and i’m already addicted very proffesional set-up looks absolutely great, being very lazy I rarely take the time to credit people like yourself for taking the time to create these games but felt that this was a special case and deserved the recognition due. Other than the possible inclusion of more cards I think there is very little that needs changing in this game, a few comments though creatures can be regenerated after Wrath of God which is technically illegal because they are buried and Lord of Atlantis gets +1/+1 and it is a Lord not a Merfolk. I am loathe to point out such minor errors in an otherwise brilliant game so by all means tell me to get lost!

Hey wequ, thanks !
Thanks for the Wrath of god bug report, I’ll add it to the list.
Regarding lord of atlantis, I am using the rules of the Oracle, not the ones that are printed on the card. although the card says “Lord”, the Oracle says “Merfolk lord”.
But if you think this is incorrect, you can edit the creature subtpye in the _cards.dat file with any test editor

i have a problem the eve and ala boosters are not appearing at the shop?? what should the new ice age version do??

why does the ALA and EVE Boosters are not showing at the shop??

Hey jc, I got this question many times, so I added it to the newly created FAQ:
http://wololo.net/wagic/faq/

sori… but i mean lot of cards in ALA and EVE is not shown example of cards i dont get was jund charm, naya charm all in the folder of ALA and EVE cards are not random sold in shop… it is also not available in booster and starter packs… how can i activate it at the shop??

See _cards.dat to see which cards are playable. Jund Charm and Naya Charm are NOT playable yet in Wagic.

ok… i thought all of the cards in the folder are playable…

thanks for the game! cant wait for the next version with more cards! ^_^

thanks wololo, pls add some meta game vintage calibre cards and the current standard type 2 cards. it will be a great help for players to run and playtest the decks they want to build

Eh…. i have 2001 and it says its currupted

GhostUnit : make sure your GAME folder is set to the 3xx kernel in the Recovery menu

I just downloaded .31 and I’m getting a complete shutdown right after the playstation screen. I previously installed the ice age set. I’m going to pull my “player” folder out, erase everything and reinstall the new version. I’ll let you know if I have any better luck….

I tried reinstalling, I tried redownloading and reinstalling, I get nothing but a black screen and then the psp shuts down :(

Is anyone else having any better luck? I have been able to run all your other Wagic releases. I’m running 4.01 m33-2

Hi Marco,
I’ll double check.
Wagic is not handling errors very nicely, so my guess is that it is just a missing file or directory somewhere.
Did you try to install it in a “fresh” directory, or did you overwrite an existing one ? If you tried to overwrite an existing one, that might be the issue.

I tried to overwrite an existing directory first, then I deleted everything and tried to install it on a fresh one. I’m going to try one more time from a different computer.

Just an update: I tried it from a different computer, fresh download, and with a newly formatted memory stick. Still nothing. I get the loading screen and then it turns my psp off.

Hopefully it is something minor. Please keep up the hard work I love your program. I’ll just go back to playing the last version until it’s either straightened out or the next version comes out.

Damn, I’d like to get feedback from other people as well, to see if it’s a broad issue or just localized.
did you try with another firmware ?

No, I didn’t try any other firmware. Either later today or tomorrow I’ll update to a more recent firmware and see if I get a better result.

Has anyone else reported any other troubles, or is it just me? I have to assume that if there were problems from others it would have been reported.

yes, so far it is just you :( but don’t worry, we’ll find a way.
At least, I’ll improve errors check in next version so that if this happens again, we have a better understanding of the cause

i had problems with it on 5.00m33-3. it crashes sometimes while playing and whenever i switch to standby or sleep (whatever they call it) it crashes. i need to open up my psp again and start the game. but still i reallllllllllllllllllllllllyyy love the game. so very adictive but consumes a lot of my battery since i can’t switch to sleep mode. i wish for christmas that it would have more cards in it and the bugs would by fixed. hehehe…. THANKS FOR THE GREAT GAME YOU MADE…….

I am back in the Wagic :)

I upgraded to 5.00 cfw and Wagic is running again.

Not only does it look (and sound) sweet…..but the newest firmware is pretty cool as well. It’s a double win for me :)

As always, thank you for all your efforts.

@ian : yes, sleep mode crashes the game, it’s unfortunately a bug that’s been here forever, and I didn’t find the time to work on it yet.

@Marco: thanks for your report ! It means that Wagic is probably not compatible with firmwares 4.xx ? how odd…

Hey there…i hope it can run on my psp..i dl-ed it for pc once but it never worked…=.= sad…but i’m gonna try it out soon when it finishes downloading..i’m from malaysia(small mtg base) even smaller still from the state i’m from but i love it and i love psp..so thank you so much for this.Merry CHRISTMAS!!

hey wololo…. nice game. Been a Magic player since 96 and stop in 98 but still i love this game. Im glad you have it in PSP. Many Thanks from the island of Three Stars & a Sun.

i supose its good, im downloaing it right now, i hope its good,

pleas go to my website, magictcg.webs.com

I’m pretty new to the PSP’s and Homebrew in general. I think I’ve got the hang of it for now, but I can’t seem to get this game to work on my PSP. I’m running 3.03 OE-C custom firmware. When I try to load the game it runs the usual PSP logo and music then goes black and shuts off. Any idea what is happening and how I can get this to work?

Hi Rick,
did you manage to successfully run other homebrews ?

If yes, it could be an incompatibility with Wagic and firmware 3.03
Firmware 3.03 is pretty old, and I suggest you upgrade to 5.00.
That being said, I still find weird that the game doesn’t work on 3.03, so you might ask for help in the compatibility thread at :
http://wololo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=86

In the weeks to come, I’ll try to test the game on a wide variety of firmwares. This is a long process as it involves downgrading the PSP lots of times… especially, I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to 3.03.

As I said, I’m somewhat new to this. I’m not sure what all is involved in putting custom firmware onto a PSP. I don’t own a Pandoras battery or anything if I mess it up. I bought this one pre modded :).

I suppose I’ll just wait and keep an eye out for any solutions. Oh and yes, I’ve successfully been able to use other homebrew applications/games.

Happy to report that I have successfully updated to 5.00 M33-3 and, more importantly, game is up and running just fine :).

Thank you for this amazing homebrew!

Thanks for the feedback, Rick !

holy shit, the download page is filled with comments lolz… I was wondering why the news had so little comments, perhaps people forgot about wagic.. but turns out people post here instead of there. Haha, keep up the good work!

Hmmm think I would still prefer icon mana instead of chinese letter mana even though I am chinese.

Hey Monkit, unless this wasn’t clear enough, I am not allowed to distribute WotC’s copyrighted content. Hence the new icons ;)

yea I meant new icons lolz. How about a forum contest to invent new icons, followed by the back cover of the cards, main menu as well.

I’m too lazy, but feel free to organize such a contest on the forum!

main menu as well. ???

so happy for hw
hi~!sony
hello world ~~~

Great :D
I loved this Homebrew.
I’ll donate some bucks when i get a job :/
Got fired D:

Wow. This is the first time I have heard of wagic. It’s one of the best homebrew games I’ve seen in a while. Nice work Wololo! Feel free to drop by GamerzCreed Forums and hit us up once in a while. We can help spread the word on WTH ?! for you. ;)

Can we have a Windows binary as well for version 0.6.0?

@Wagic_for_Windows : one is currently being tested in the forums. You can grab it from there, but it should be available from this page in a couple days :)
