oil me up, eh? - Image 1So that little post on Ratchet and Clank not working supposedly with custom firmware sure caused some feathers to be ruffled, eh? Well for those of you still having problems getting it to work, this post right here will hopefully kiss all your woes goodbye.

gunntims0103 has posted over at DCEmu his solution to this glitch. According to him, it is confirmed to work as long as you have your configuration in the recovery menu of your custom firmware set up correctly. Okay... so what IS the correct setting? Thankfully, gunntims0103 wasn't out to tease you unfortunate folks who can't get it to work.

Here are the correct settings, according to him:

configuration
Game folder homebrew (currently: 3.XX Kernal)
Use NO-UMD (currently:disabled)
Fake region (currently:America)
Free UMD region(currently Enabled)

Advanced
-advanced configuration-
Plain modules in UMD/ISO (currently: Enabled)

CPU Speed
Speed in UMD/ISO (currently:333)

**apparently some user's use 266mhz, try that. I'm using 333mhz and its running perfectly.)

Plugins
All Disabled!

Oh, and supposedly, the infrastructure in the game still does not work on Custom Firmware. It is, however, rumored to be a perfect fit on DevHook.

lol well its 266 pspupdates! oh and you have to have th ewlan switch down to work too that was my problem earlier.

all u need is to change cpu speed to 266mhz or higher...

   Re: xche78x - 2007-02-18
 » i second the motion

i agree with you "td" just power up in recovery mode, adjust iso clock to 266, and also if you have cwcheat plugin, just disable it coz it changes the clock to 222.

 » Argh

Oh man, now the completely bogus settings by gunntims even invade QJ ...

Yes, everything works perfectly with DevHook but if you don't need infrastructure then just set 3.10 OE-A to 266 MHz (and not 333 MHz which kills background music)

 » dont ask me why

but asa stupid as it sounds i tried removing my memory card before booting up the game while it was on the default speed and it came up a lil slow but still came up nontheless.

All i had to do is raise the clock speed thats all i still have all my plugins and everything is fine... but yes the online doesnt work for me on 3.03 oec thats all.

Same here.
None of that other crap is needed, and yes it works fine at 333 MHz, but there's no music.
266 is the correct setting, NOT 333.

 » this is how I got it

you need to run at 266mhz and disable plugins which use GAME then it works for me on 3.03oe-c

Must only be certain plugins that mess that up.

 » No cwcheat

I am currently using 3.10 OE-A' and I had the same problem with this game. I had even set the CPU clock to 266 , 300, and 333 MHz. Still a no-go :( Then I disabled all my plugins at 266 MHz. Bingo.. it worked. Then I enabled these plugins...

SVC Capture (GAME & POPS & VSH)
CheatMaster.prx (GAME & POPS)
CWCHEAT (GAME & POPS)

Didnt work. I disabled CWCHEAT for GAME... Surprisingly, it worked. I havent tested with any other plugins besides these. If anyone finds any others that are incompatible, please comment. :)

there is a black screen after the gameboot and it doesn't load!

 » my settings

I just tried to lay out exactly what my settings were as to help out other users. I hear messing with the clock speed should help other users who have difficulty with my configuration.

1. so, with this configuration, does ingame music work?

2. if you dont use this configuration and you:

-start with 266
-have the cwcheat game plugin enabled
-open the cwcheat from ingame
-change the cpu speed?
-after you change the cpu speed to 333 and bus to max, will the settings take effect?

cause i opened the cwcheat menu after i did that and at the bottom of the menu it said the cpu was at the 266 level, im pretty sure. maybe its wrong?

   by miktar (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17
 » YEP

Mine worked from the beginning, I used cwcheat set to use 266mhz by default, ran it no-umd.
If you use the recovery menu to set clockspeed , it locks it in. If you just use a plugin, like cwcheat, you can clock up to 333mhz in game and still have music. The game works fine single player, which is all that matters to me :)

3.10-OE-A, 333 mghz, Dark_Alex's POPS Loader Plugin is Enabled, (No-UMD: Disabled); (Fake Region: Disabled); (Free UMD-Region: Disabled), several custom firmware mods...

i'm using the game as compressed iso ( .cso ).

the game has worked ever since I obtained it. don't know why everyone else is having problems...

Everyone else is having problems because most people are running games at 222 by default.

This game works perfect for me on the OE except the ADHOC and Infrastructure modes. I pretty much just left my RECOVERY options alone from the start....

Actually no it wouldn't, the UMD doesn't even work without these settings, so this is all within the law.

You shouldn't jump to conclusions ??. I was going to ask if there is any difference between ISO/CSO/UMD. Not assume people are just running ISO's.

 » Not understanding

I have a pretty much fresh 3.10 A' install on my PSP How do I get the game to work on either UMD or ISO? I don't quite understand how to make the setting changes that is being refered to. Yes, I'm a noob, is if someone could put in a simple form for those of us that have no prior experience with such changes, it would be greatly helped.


   Re: Spanky (Unregistered) - 2007-02-18
 » recovery menu

to make the changes you need to access OE recovery menu. Shut off your psp(hold power button 4 seconds) then turn it back on and hold "R" trigger button. From here you can make all the changes needed.

Thank you Sparky, I got the UMD version to work. Now, how do I get the ISO version to work. That way I can conserve battery power and not run the UMD drive.

Me works on 3.10 OE-A' with default settings except that i've set the clock to 266MHz. BUT infrastructure doesn't work. How to make it work?

   by hi (Unregistered) - 2007-02-18
 » Thanks for fixing the earlier article

The article earlier was rather confusing, since it said it doesn't work at all on custom firmware. Luckily with the right settings it works like a charm.

think DA will be working on a new revision to 3.10 OE-A' to correct this issue??? I would bet on it

yes there is. don't lie!! :D get the irsmp3 plugin for 2.71 SE and just put it in the plugins folder. i must warn you though....the later version has a cpu clock changer and that's what was causing the game to not work for me. so search mp3 on the download section and try an older version. :D have fun dude.

The background music only plays if the CPU is set to 266, anything higher and you get only game sounds, no music.
