The PSP can finally run homebrew games and applications on firmware 2.60. It previously only worked on 1.50 units and on PSPs that were downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. There was minimal support on 2.00+, but with this tutorial most homebew applications should function. We should expect to see a new update very soon from Sony, possibly 2.70 or a minor “security” update to v2.60. If a new update is released, obviously do not update for a while untill information about what exactly it does is available. The homebrew on 2.60 PSPs will be able to run Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Atari Lynx, and many other applications.To run homebrew applications:
- PSP with v2.60 installed
- Memory Card with enough space
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- USB Cable or MS Pro Duo Reader
To install homebrew applications:
- Download “homebrew260.zip” and extract content
- Connect and open media storage device
- Copy contents of GAME & paste them in X:PSPGAME
- Copy folder “ULUS10041S5” and paste in X:PSPSAVEDATA
- Place all the homebrew application files in GAME
- Start GTA & load profile 5 to get to the homebrew menu
- To quit the homebrew menu just hit the “start” button

Note: At the momment standard homebrew applications can only be run on PSPs with either 1.50 or 2.60. (nothing in between). If you have 2.60 only way to run these apps is with the retail edition of GTA. (not a UMD rip) Also downgrading PSPs can only be downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. (no other combos will work!) P.S. Don’t ask us how to find UMD rips.
I have firmware 2.6 . I got the eloader to work. I put the snes9x super nintendo emulator on and actually got games to start working. my problem is that once i leave the emulator,the psp crashes and when i try to start the emulator again off of the gta eloader my psp will crash again and i will have to delete all of the games and then restart to get it to work again.
Does anyone know how to use the snes9x emulator with the GTA eloader a little better than me? i could use some help with where to put the roms without crashing the emulator. please help!
just to get a game to work one time, i have to put the same rom into X:psp/common, X:psp/game, and X:psp/game/snes9x. But it will only work the first time i try it. Then i must delete the roms and put them back if i want to play again. please email me and tell me what to do. http://www.timbopsp420@yahoo.com
Try taking the battery out for a few mins and put it back :)
Your homebrew should work now
Is ther Anyway i can play homebrew games without having to get GTA for my psp or having to get v 1.5?
Can yo downgrade your psp to v 1.5 if you have A V 2.6?
i already figured out that it wont work every time for 2.6
can get it to work i did every thing it says. there is no profile 5
I have version 1.60, I installed emulator Snes9x with GTA eloader and it work, when I press “Run” on snes9xTYL it works 1 time on 5 (it start or it crash). When it’s finally started, they wrote an error that they can’t load any roms. Then there is no rom found. I tried to put roms everywhere in PSP folders.
Thank you for your help.
i run threw the instructions and when i loaded the homebrew my psp just crashed so i had to reload it any sugestions please??
You have to put the contents of GAME folder in
“X:/psp/game/”
Example:
X:/psp/game/loader095gta.ctf
X:/psp/game/loadmenu.tga
X:/psp/game/loadmenu095.pbp
After, you put the whole folder “ULUS10041S5” in
X:/psp/savedata/
I think it doesn’t work because you put folder “GAME” like that
X:/psp/game/game/
do we put the gta in like PSP_GAME/UMD_DATA in the game folder or do we make it and iso image/
can u save the your progres on homebrew games with the gta eloader?

I got my PSP 5 days ago with a 2.01 FW. Didn’t know and updated to v2.6. I been working on this to get the games to work. Been doing this for 2 days and finally got things to work. I do get errors and crashes until i got it to work correctly. Only time it crash on me is if I try to get the Sega Genesis to work. If anyone can tell me how to get Sega and where the roms go I could help on the SNES.

this works great just read the instructions properly and you can run your home brew but you will need firmware 2.60 if you have firmware 2.0 dont upgrade downgrade to 1.50 if you have 2.1 then upgrade
