Adrenaline Bubble Booter released! Boot PSP games directly from LiveArea on 3.60 with Adrenaline
The day has finally come! Thanks to Adrenaline Bubble Booter, you can now load PSP/PSX games and homebrew directly via LiveArea.
What’s Adrenaline Bubble Booter?
As the title suggests, it’s a passthrough that lets you have shortcuts (in the form of bubbles) from LiveArea to directly boot PSP/PSX games and homebrew. This is a feature that was available on some older firmwares with their ePSP hacks and with ARK Autoboot. Thanks to this plugin, you can get the superior PSP/PSX experience with Adrenaline which includes features such as extra screen filters, savestates and much much more. You can always exit to the PSPs XMB by pressing the PS button and pressing ‘Yes’ like Adrenaline. This doesn’t change the bubble’s appearance so you need fo take care of that yourself. This is simply a shortcut so you can use something like Bubble Studio to do that.
MolecularShell menu to reload taiHEN’s config.txt. Press START to open it.
How do I get Adrenaline Bubble Booter on my system?
The process is pretty straightforward but you it’s recommended you read it at least twice to make sure you understand it properly
- First of all, download the RAR file from the link below
- Extract the RAR file and copy the whole ‘adrbblbooter’ to ux0: (your Vita’s main memory partition, will probably work with ur0)
- Add ‘ux0:adrbblbooter/adrbblbooter.suprx’ before the Adrenaline plugin in the config.txt section of the bubble you’re using for this
- (If want to bypass the Adrenaline start image, add ‘ux0:adrbblbooter/adrbblbooter_nostartdat.suprx’ instead of ‘ux0:adrbblbooter/adrbblbooter.suprx’)
- Now, reboot your device or reload the taiHEN config file via MolecularShell
- After that, go to ‘ux0:adrbblbooter/bubblesdb’
- Create a text file with the TITLEID of the PSP game you’re using as a passthrough. You must write in the TITLEID of the bubble on your Vita NOT of the game you wish to open.
- Open the text file (.txt) you created and write in the path to the ISO/CSO/PBP you wish to open via the passthrough. The path must be via ‘ms0:’ (from ux:pspemu) and not ‘ux0:’. This is an example: ‘ms0:/PSP/GAME/FILER/EBOOT.PBP’
- You’re done! Open the bubble and viola!
I confirm that this works as I tried it with a PSX game called Spyro. There are no issues with this plugin if the directory has spaces in between. Have fun with your new PSP custom bubbles! Report any issues to ‘Leecherman’ (aka LMAN). Obviously, you can start cloning bubble to get more shortcuts.

Wow! I’m going to try it right now.
Awesome, finaly! Thank you very much!
This procedure is too much work. Just boot Adrenaline and choose your PSP game inside there. Waaaay more easier.
I agree. I´ll wait for a more automated way.
Seriously guys? I guess you never used any of the old bubble hacks, they were wayyyy harder. Besides, the first 5 steps is a one time thing to install the plugin, which is a one-time thing. You only need to repeat the last 4 steps whenever you want to add a new bubble.
Tried using it earlier to no avail (it would boot Adrenaline, but not the game), but others have gotten it to work so it’s definitely user error on my end. Going for a fresh reinstall of Adrenaline and trying again from there – thanks for the more clear instructions!
This is a great release, because as far as I’m aware, this gives Adrenaline the ONLY feature that ARK had that Adrenaline didn’t.
update: yeah, after a full reinstall of adrenaline this isn’t working out. After following the instructions my epsp bubbles don’t boot the games my .txt files point them to (I’ve tried one with an ISO and one with an EBOOT), they just…launch adrenaline as if I had launched my main adrenaline bubble. Any tips?
Also of note, they DO differentiate whether the config.txt asks for adrbblbooter.suprx and adrbblbooter_nodatscreen.suprx because with the latter, the ‘Adrenaline’ image is skipped before it just launches into standard Adrenaline.
For the clone method..use Psvimgtools Easy FrontEnd 1.4

great work! now just waiting for someone who can upload a video tutorial how to install this.
too bad i only have 8gb memory for my vita, will stick to PSP emulator on my phone to save some space on my vita.
@AURORA its Voila not Viola 🙂
I have tried and tried to get this to work. I managed to get it to work once but had to reinstall adrenaline now I can’t get it working again. All it ever does is launches the xmb never launches the game the plugin works because if I set the nostartdat plugin the bootlogo goes away but it still launches the xmb I’m using the same exact txt files in the bubbledb folder that I used when it did work
That’s pretty much my exact problem too currently. Hopefully someone is able to help us out.
It only works when I set the adrenaline bubble as the game’s boot bubble. then it opens the iso of my choice instead of adrenaline. it just doesn’t work when I set any other psp bubble as the game boot…..
yY do i only get it to work when the bubble selected to directly boot ??? ??the game is the same as adrenaline’s?
Huge thanks, now all my wipeout games have their own icon, and their dedicated page 😀
For some reason, the linked site and wololo have different instructions. The linked site implies that it will make a new bubble which seems to be wrong. So confusing…
I fought with this all day and finally figured out what was wrong.
For everyone whose bubbles launch Adrenaline and not your game:
1. the text file in the db folder *does* need to have “ms0:/” and not just “ms0:”
2. make sure you don’t have a leftover space at the end of the file path. “ms0:/PSP/GAME/FFVII/EBOOT.PBP” will work, “ms0:/PSP/GAME/FFVII/EBOOT.PBP ” will not.
So, i’m guessing it is possible to make an automatic bubble generator where you can choose from the list of games you have in the ISO folder and get a bubble as a result.
No matter what I do it just wont work. I just get a C2-12828-1 error after setting it up, even with the manager. Looks like im just gonna wait for a video tut
