DAX PAX v067-USB Tutorial Using the "DAX ZISO Loader USB Tutorial Pack" by DragonUK
~=<>=-
1. Copy the files in the "PUT THESE ON YOUR MEMORY STICK" folder to the root of your Memory Stick (Duh)
2. After you've copied them to your PSP, copy the folder in the "PUT THIS ON YOUR DESKTOP" folder to your desktop, or anywhere, it doesn't really matter.
3. Now load up DAX with the usb cable connected, Windows will say it found a new device.
4. a) Now onto installing the drivers, select the option to manually install, and chose the option to specify the location of the needed driver.
b) Click browse and goto your Desktop, or where you put the "PC_Driver" that was in the "PUT THIS ON YOUR DESKTOP" folder.
c) Go into the "PC_Driver" folder and select the "PSP.inf" file.
Now, continue through the steps till it is installed.
5. Now your PSP has the driver needed for USB use with DAXZISO installed correctly.
6. Copy the file cygwin1.dll included in this rar to your windows/system32 directory.
If you don't know where this is, you shouldent even be trying this...
7. Ok, if you've gotten this far, then good, your almost done.
First, make sure to rename the folder containing your ISO's (Or at least the ones you want your PSP to read) to "ISO".
8. a) Press Triangle to Exit DAXZISO and go back to the XMB. After this is done, enable USB connectivity via your Normal USB Connection screen
b) There will be a popup asking if your want to "use the program provided on your device", press OK.
c) You've probly noticed by now a PSP icon has popped up in your system tray.
d) This is the terminal program that runs the USB connectivity. To launch it repeat the first two lines of this step.
e) Right click the icon and browse to the folder that CONTAINS your "ISO" folder and select OK.
f) If you have trouble in the above step, you can manually edit this path in the "Opt.ini" file the the "DAXUSB" folder on your memory stick.
g) By default it's set to the C drive, so if you want to, just put your "ISO" folder in your hard drive's root.
9. After this is done exit normal USB mode and start up DAXZISO again,
10. a) The iSOs on your pc should appear in DAX, but they will be mixed up with the iSOs on your PSP memorycard.
b) So its best to call the iSOs on your pc something like game_usb.iso with a USB tag or something.
11. Now select your game, use a direct load option, and then your game should start and play
12. As long as the PSP icon remains in your system tray, you can go directly into DAXZISO to access your ISO's via USB.
If it disappers simply connect via the normal USB link in the XMB again to re-launch it.
Well done.
Note: There is more chances of the iSO working if you put "v" before the ISO's name: for example, Tales.iso -> vTales.iso.

Download the Sony PSP 2.60 to 1.50 Firmware downgrader
This program basically emulates any UMD iso you have using the PSP's RAM so no flashing is required. The difference is that instead of choosing a game from on the menu you choose the image you want to load and the program will reset the PSP and load it as if you had the UMD inserted.
Download UMD Emulator V0.8

This is my latest obsession. Since I travel for around 2.5 hrs during my office commute, I need to keep myself entertained. Till now the Sony PSP was being used to play the odd game or to listen to some music. I finally managed to get all the pieces together to start encoding videos for the PSP on Debian GNU/Linux. This got boring after a while as I didn't have new content to keep me entertained on a daily basis.
The next step was to get the videos from YouTube to play on the PSP. This actually turned out easier than I expected. Here's how I managed to do it,
If everything goes well, stick that into a bash script like so:
=====start=====
#! /bin/sh
input_file=$1
output_file=$2
echo $input_file
echo $output_file
ffmpeg -i $input_file -f psp -r 29.970 -s 320x240 -b 768 -ar 24000 -ab 32 $output_file
=====end=====
And you can invoke the script as ./psp_enc.sh ~/Videos/youtube.flv M4V00010.MP4
The whole setup should also be possible on Fedora and Ubuntu too. The next best thing I discovered is ffmpeg2theora, very useful command-line tool if you have a set of divx files and worried that you might loose the ability to play them due to patent problems. ffmpeg2theora will allow you to re-encode your videos to the Ogg Theora format which is an open format and widely supported by almost all the players on Linux.
Gee, nothing sets the tone for these little exhibitions of wonderful cathode tube geekery like some blaring, repetitive techno. Guys, it's a video PSP mod hack, not a video of a ninja taking on a thousand zombies. PSP 2.71 hacked to allow modders to run ISOs and homebrew off of the memory card. Say hello to official Sony firmware 2.72! Thanks to Sinner Chrono! Watch the video..
