devhook & cwcheat trouble shooting...

[blood angte]

okay so i got my psp phat running 1.5 and able to emulate firmware 3.03 with devhook. Everything for devhook is working just fine... but then i added cwcheat and the menu for it will not open during a game. It works just fine because i set it up for the xmb and the menu opens right up after holding select. Now i have been just trouble shooting to try and get the cwcheat menu to open during a game, but so far no luck...
if anyone has an idea of what the problem is please share it.
thanks!

first thing that came to my mind...

so ur at 1.5 ofw... update to 5.00m33-6

there are 2 ways... recovery flasher or using the long way..

RECOVERY FLASHER
http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/f133...-1-50-t225209/

OR

using the steps below

3.52M33
run these installers from with 1.5 kernal mode set.(hold R trigger when starting psp to enter recovery menu, enter config, set game homebrew kernal to 1.5)

-Go from 1.5 to 3.52M33 here:
http://calo-hacks.com/downloads/cust...rom%201.50.zip

now,
Once at 3.52M33, install Update #4, here:
http://calo-hacks.com/downloads/cust...3-Update-4.zip

5.00M33-6
run these installers from with 3.xx kernal mode set.(hold R trigger when starting psp to enter recovery menu, enter config, set game homebrew kernal to 3.xx)

-first download this file

http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1568

-extract it

-after extracting it, u will get a 5.00 official firmware eboot.

-rename it as 500.PBP

-then download this link below

http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1646

-extract it

-u will get a update folder

-put the 500.PBP in that update folder

-connect ur psp to pc via usb cable or card reader

-put the update folder in PSP/GAME/

-run it from the xmb, thats all


then after upgrading to 5.00m33-6,

format flash1 and reset settings by going to recovery menu ( turn ur psp off fully (not in sleep mode) and then hold R button and turn it on) it will go to recovery menu, then go to advance and klik format flash1 and reset settings (this wont harm ur psp, will only reset ur settings))

u need to set ur iso loader and boost ur cpu speeds...

To do so, enter VSH menu press select button from xmb) then scroll down and set umd mode/iso loader to SONY NP9660(The Best!)
Next, boost ur cpu speeds in game and xmb to 333/166(in VSH menu), this will not harm ur psp(only uses battery up a little faster)(Wifi card can become hot if used for long periods @ this speed)
Also, format memstick to delete unneeded install files and create folder structure...

well i know how to update... the only reason i have it at 1.5 is so i can run devhook. i have a pandora battery so i can install any firmware needed. All i really want to do is be able to use cwcheat in a way that it will work the best.
i do have a question though.
how do you get cwcheat to work as a plugin for cfw?
when i tried it, it did open but the cheats never worked.
i also thought that cwcheat can only be used while emulating firmwares.

after upgrading ... u can download cwcheat and chek below for the steps...

After you have downloaded cwcheat extract it.

If you dont have a ms0:/seplugins folder then copy the CWCHEAT_0_2_2_REVD\INSTALL\seplugins into the root of your memory stick

If you have ms0:/seplugins already the copy CWCHEAT_0_2_2_REVD\INSTALL\seplugins\cwcheat into the ms0:/seplugins folder

If you do not have the following files in ms0:/seplugins then copy them into the ms0:/seplugins folder

CWCHEAT_0_2_2_REVD\INSTALL\seplugins\game150.txt
CWCHEAT_0_2_2_REVD\INSTALL\seplugins\game.txt
CWCHEAT_0_2_2_REVD\INSTALL\seplugins\pops.txt

If you do have those files then just open up each file in CWCHEAT_0_2_2_REVD\INSTALL\seplugins\ and copy the line thats in the file into the corresponding file in ms0:/seplugins

Finally get the latest cheat database (cheat.db) and copy this into ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat

Perform 1 quick check, go into recovery mode select plugins and make sure cwcheat.prx [GAME] and cwcheatpops.prx [POPS] are enabled. if not enable them.

thats it.
