Get Ratchet and Clank running with custom firware: correct settings

[infamousdice]

So 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.

So far what i have seen

only the
Use NO-UMD (currently:disabled)

is what makes it Work or Not 

Just like Generation Of Chaos

[infamousdice]

yea i no i had to disable it for my to work but with devhook it works completely

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

Thats Cuz DevHook Has to have a UMD in the PSP to load games

[infamousdice]

true but i like DAX CF better

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

Funny thang is I did not even Know ppl where haveing a hard time getting it to Work

when it frist cameout i D/L it and put it on My PSP and  Booted Up just Fine i played it for about 1hour.

It's just that some ppl don't Test games and/or don't Know that Some Games Have to Have UMD support to work

[infamousdice]

yea mine works cuz i had the no umd of but when i turned it on to test it it was not working so i was like wat that is weird

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

Well i Had to Test it and Guess What

When i truned on No UMD  and started the Game ..... IT WORKED lol

Not sure Why other ppl are saying it's Not working as for me i tryed Every setting  and ALL Worked for this Game

[infamousdice]

i heard it is the umd speed i have mine in 266

[Snafupossum]

thats something i dont get, ppl's psp's shouldn't freeze due to cpu speed, just lag during some more intense parts in newer games.

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

I have  XMB  and UMD set to 333mhz

i think some ppl just got Bad Downloads of the Game

[infamousdice]

Nat really cause my friend got the original game in UMD and it dont work with out doing that thing with the menu

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

Hmmm then i'm Not Sure Maybe it's in the Way ppl Downgraded there PSPs Or Is he Runing the
3.10 OE-A' or the 3.10 OE-A

I don't know, It be Nice to Understand Why My psp can have all Settings Changed and still run the game Without UMD and with UMD at any speed

Maybe i am one of the Lucky Ones LOL

[infamousdice]

yea but zzk u have a 1.5 psp 1.5 has devhook and devhook works very good wwith this game

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]
