Devhook + firmare 2.71 Button swap help

[Sobtanian]

hi there,

have recently downgraded from 2.71 to 1.50
I installed dh using the ultimate installer 1.11 and it installed firmware 2.71 also.

My PSP is JAP and I'm used to it's button config (circle for confirm, cross for back). Problem is, the 2.71 firmware installed with dh uses the worldwide config (cross for confirm, circle for back). This confuses me when I'm entering text or in the save menu as I always press circle to confirm and it ends up not saving or cancelling!

To solve the problem I tried running dh + firmware 2.71 and in the XMB menu reset the system settings. This doesn't work, as each time you try to run v2.71 the PSP goes in an infinity loop saying (system data is damaged, press to repair), reboots, and goes back to the same screen again. I'm presuming this happens cos the PSP is v1.5 so it's repairing the system data to that version all the time.

So, my question is, is there any way (eg hexedit a file or something) I can changed the button settings on the v2.71 firmware to JAP?

many thanx

If i read this right you are trying to reset the sys settings under 2.71 emulated. This only resides in RAM and thus the settings are lost after you reboot. HAve you tried using xflash under 1.5 and swapping there?
Let me know how you get on?

I'll detail a bit more: when I install dh + 2.71 using Ultimate Installer 1.11, the emulated firmware has some other user's settings (user name, time, date etc etc). Once I change them they stay like that each time I emulate 2.71.

The only thing I can't change is the circle/cross config. I know that resetting system settings corrects that, but resetting under 2.71 leads to the "corrupt data" blue screen and the system reboots and goes back to it again ad infinitum... the only way out is cold booting the PSP which takes it back to v1.5 and it works fine.

I've got x-flash (1.4) but I can't seem to find in it an option that swaps the buttons around?

I don't think x-flash is the solution though, there must be some file in the dh/271/flash0 (or flash1) folder that I can edit to change the settings...

thanks

yeh you could be right,i haven't really delved into xflash much.
have u not tried WAB button swapper for v1.5 or PSPset?

I could have sworn there was a jap installer of some sort bundled in with the main devhook zip.

You just need to copy the flash1 files from your psp in 1.5 to the dh\flash1 folder as this is where the button config is stored. You can copy the files using File Assistant ++.

WAB button swapper and PSPset work in 1.5, where the buttons are already the right way round - so no use there

I've downloaded FA++ but when I choose the files in flash1 it gives me no options to copy, read or anything??

thanx

[Sobtanian]

I've figured it out now, thanks

was using FA++ wrong, but now I've worked it out and I only copied the contents of flash1/registry folder into dh/flash1/registry and it's worked :)

thanks for the tip!
