USB goodies - Image 1ZKL54 gave us word of a new modification for 3.10 OE-A that's useful out there for those folks who always worry about space constraints. Smashly's USB Mod v4b for 3.10 OE-A will actually help you save on space on your memory stick by enabling you to stream files from your PC via the USB.

According to the developer, this is actually an unofficial update of TheBuzzer's modification for SE-C. If you remember him, he also made a useful and rather prolific application known as the GUI DEVHOOK Launcher, so you can bet that this little modification's base programming came from a great app maker.

Of course, using this might sound like a bit of a hassle, since the main reason you probably use the PopStation is to play on the go. Despite this, USB Mod may save you a lot of trouble when it comes to accessing certain files on the fly, though we wonder just how well this would work with PopStation.

That being said, remember to check the readme for instructions so you don't muck up your PC or your PSP, grab a long USB cable, and see what magic you can make with this little app.

Sorry axelixc, you should do research before you spout off.

This is an old version of usbhostfs and may not work with this plugin. It should, though, as I doubt the protocol has changed any since then. If it doesn't, I'm sure it won't be long before someone realizes and fixes it. There's also a Linux one out there somewhere as well, but I didn't bother searching for it.

read and understand before posting ok.
anyways, instead of this app, ive already installed USBMOUNT 1.03 on my psp 3.03oe_C and PSPHost 2.0 on my PC which both worked great and i can now play all my ISO games on PC via USB connection. it works on every OE firmware, if you want this file and instruction just post a request on my own forums at http://sw2.2ya.com

Nice job on creating this app, but this one needs to write to flash in order to work. Here is another way that will do what this app does without writing to flash. (only Isos/csos)

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/455639

Using this way, you don't need to write to flash, BUT it can only access isos.

~This way(brief summary)
PRO:easy to enable and disable. (in xmb)
CON:writes to flash (dangerous for those that don't know much about the psp, etc)

~The other way in the link
PRO:doesn't write to flash
CON:not so easy to enable and disable (in recovery menu), can't toggle usb when plugins are enabled and will crash when plugins are on but with no usb connected (for now)

Both need some trial and error in order to get them working. (unless you really know about the psp or you're lucky)

BTW, I just use irshell to access homebrew through my usb although this way seems easier.......(excpet for the flash)

   Re: me (Unregistered) - 2007-02-13
 » huh?

In the afterdawn guide it says:

"This will only work on the latest 3.10 OE-A' Custom Firmware. (Or lower)" HUH :?

Nevermind the ISOs and what not... This is great for testing your programs... no more switching back and forth between USB mode on/off... just test your homebrew straight from the PC, as soon as you compile it :)

If you have USBHostfs (which you need) then inside that folder create a folder called ISO. Put your iso's in there.

   Re: KleptoOne (Unregistered) - 2007-02-12
 » Try This

Verify all the plugins are enabled, then when you get to the xmb, hold the square button. On the nethostfs screen you should see a connecting text. Then go to saved games on your PSP to refresh your game folder (quirky step, but you have to do it) then go back to games and you should be set.

Can someone here give me a link to a download for the USBHostFS Type B TA-082 fix. Without it i can't use USBHostFS.

   by JimBeam (Unregistered) - 2007-02-12
 » download is currently incorrect

I downloaded the mod and it would appear the plugins are named differently as described in the README and are faulty. I downloaded from the original host "XMB" and found the plugins to be named and functioning correctly.

I have a TA-082mb with the USBFIX
3.10OE-Afw

mod now works like a charm


   Re: thyvillageidiot - 2007-02-12
 » really?

could you be alittle more specific

   Re: anus (Unregistered) - 2007-02-12
 » Plz

Yeah, please be more specific, i too own a TA-082 and am unable to load games through USB.

Thanks.

   Re: JimBeam (Unregistered) - 2007-02-13
 » More specifics

if you have a ta-082mb it is important that you use the USB type B fix for ta-082 (google it, easy to find) a non ta-082 or fixed ta-082 is also required for the fix. Something to do with an idstorage change resulting from the 2.71 downgrader. Without the type B fix for USB your ta-082 will not function with this mod. once you have successfully installed the fix your ta-082 will function like any other psp. Regarding the download, I downloaded this file from QJ shortly after it was posted. I found however that the files contained different files than those described in the readme, namely several plugins. I proceeded anyway and found the plugins to be non operational. I then went to the "XMB-PSP" link provided in the main story and downloaded the original mod. All files were named currently re: README, I installed them as per instructions and it works fine. If you still have probs after this I would imagine it would be the PC end at fault.

P.S.
I downloaded this a while ago, the download link may now be fixed

   Re: JimBeam (Unregistered) - 2007-02-13
 » For TA-082mb users

Many of the problems people are talking about are symptoms I encountered before using the USB Type B Fix. This mod or any similar application that requires the psp to read via USB (eg: Camera, GPS) WILL NOT WORK without the fix. It was covered on QJ net forums but to be honest the article was a useless piece of ***** with references to ninjas and robots or some such crap. discerning actual information from it proved difficult. There are other sources out there but I am not sure if I am allowed to quote other websites. so let google be your friend.

 » NICE!

I'll finally be able to use PopStation with my 32mb stick. Only problem is, I can't update to 3.10 OE-A because the dxar doesn't fit.

It also needs flashing systemctrl and vshctrl. I've heard that you can't run programs using recovery but you can still reflash the old systemctrl to unbrick. If you mess up the flashing, can you still recover?


   Re: KirbySS (Unregistered) - 2007-02-12

Your best bet is to find someone who will make the DXAR for you, or make it through USBHOST and Irshell, like I did.

I'm trying to get this running with OS X (using the USBHOSTFS for Mac OSX v0.02B and PrometeusPro) and was wondering: the "PC Drivers" listed as downloads above... Are they essential? What do they do?

As far as I can see, what I need to do is install USB Mod v4b for 3.10 on the PSP, run the USBHOSTFS on my Mac, run Prometeus and then run the USB Mod on the PSP... and everything should work?

Or should I just hold off for now?
