Font question with LocoRoco 2 & CFW M33-6 5.00

[ChocolateCake]

Strange question I have maybe, but hopefully the PSp geniuses here can help me figure this out.

I have M33-6 5.00 on my PSP 1001. Works great.

When I play LocoRoco2 (I tried 2 different regions versions) I see corrupted letter & numbers in the game. For example, in the screen were you pick your level, or in the screen where it tells you about the level. It's just that one font that's like that.

The bottoms of some letters are cut off. Hope you understand what I mean.

No other game is like that, and these are good ISO's of LocorRoco2.

I wonder, does LocoRoco2 use some font from flash0? Could that font file be corrupted? Can I fix that by writing new clean fonts there?

THANK YOU for any help.

dont seem to show up on my locoroco 2
and its running on a psp 1003 TA-79v3 with 5.00M33-6

mine was ripped off my uk umd,

try re ripping the game and see if its the same, maybe a bad rip

Some games do use the system font in flash0 so if you ever flashed a custom theme it can cause problems. The safest way to restore your flash0 is to use Pandora Battery and Despertar del Cementerio v8.

Thanks.

I never used custom themes. All I ever did was update my CFW's. Never touched my flash0.

Very strange.

I will try another copy of the game out.

Attached is a (very bad) photo of my screen, showing what I mean.

See how the bottom of some letters are cut off? Also note the text is too big and goes off screen in that long sentence?

I have never seen this in any other of my games, not in LocoRoco 1 either.

Is it probably a bad dump/rip at fault? Could it be my CFW fonts?

You ain't alone I seen similar pictures on other people psp on m33 5. So you have phat eh, you put the 150k thing or no? Maybe that eats up some fonts.

[ChocolateCake]

Ah yes, I did apply the 1.5 thing to my CFW when I did the update to 5.00 M33-6. I was under the impression that was needed to run my emulators on my 1000, or something... It all works great, aside from this one issue.

Well, I've now tried both the NTSC and PAL versions of LR2 and they are both the same. So it's not a bad dump issue.

Does anyone have any idea if I can fix this issue? It's not a huge deal, as it only seems to affect this one game. But still, it's annoying.

THANKS!

Did you install the 1.50 addon?

I wonder if that's the cause of this.

[bakayaroo]

you are missing the korean font. just simple restore it in the font folder in flash0.
No need to unistall 1.50 addon, cuz its still space left in the psp 1000-model, with both korean font kr0 and 1.50 addon

[ChocolateCake]

UPDATE: OK, I think I see what happened now...

The 1.50 Kernal Addon replaced the kr0.pgf file with a smaller dummy kr0.pgf file. To free up space for the 1.5 kernal stuff.

What would I need to do to get that kr0.pgf back to normal?

Seems to ONLY affect LocoRoco 2... so strange. :o

I wonder why other people with 5.0 M33-6 and the 1.5 addon don't have this problem in LocoRoco 2? Or maybe they do? Cuz I never changed my flash0 stuff ever, I only updated CFW. No custom themes, fonts or anything, ever.

As you've been told, by installing the 1.5 addon, you remove certain font files from f0 (whether you wanted to or not) The missing text is normal for the a phat psp with 1.5 addon installed as certain games do produce text using characters stored in the removed pgf files.

Either manually place the file back into flash or don't - its upto you! just don't lose any sleep over it

PS - I have the same issue with Loco Roco 2 and some other games; its really not a big deal

OK, thanks for the confirmation.

But I don't seem to have a copy of my old kr0.pgf. I can't use someone else's can I? I would have to reinstall 1.5 FW to generate the original again, then reinstall CFW again, then replace the kr0.pgf after installing 1.50 Addon again, is that correct? Assuming I decide to go trhu all that trouble. :p

Just wanna be sure I understand things right. Thanks everyone.

just to mention, i had the same problem
but i ignored it :)
free game = no complaining
i figured, it's a preview version of the game or so
