[CLASSIC] TUTORIAL: playing games via usb with dax ziso 0.62 and usbhostfs

[Dark_AleX]

Download the following package with usbhostfs/usbhostfs_pc compiled for psp and win32:

http://rapidshare.de/files/20750858/...s_bin.rar.html

Note: usbhostfs/psplink is released under the bsd license, and i'm not affiliated with their authors. If something go wrong while using dax ziso with their files, don't disturb them.

Also, from this page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=78138

locate and download the file libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.10.1.tar.gz

Extract both of them to, for example, usbhostfs_bin and libusb-win32-device-bin.

Copy the file usbhostfs.prx from usbhostfs_bin/usbhostfs_psp to ms0:/DAXZISO.

Open the daxziso.ini file, and locate the entry "[HOST]", and change the following:
driver = null changes to
driver = "ms0:/DAXZISO/usbhostfs.prx"

name = null changes to
name = "USBHostFSDriver"

And the type = USB, leave it as it is.
Save the file.

With the psp connected to the usb, open daxziso. Windows will detect a new driver, ignore it by now and DO NOTHING. Open the file inf-wizard.exe located in libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.10.1\bin.
Choose PSP Type B, and click next, and again next. It will ask you where to save a inf file. Save it in the same directory (libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.10.1\bin) with the name "psp.inf".
Now, in the windows driver dialog that you have previously ignored, choose manual installation and locate the directory libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.10.1\bin. Windows will install the drivers. Exit daxziso.

In the folder usbhostfs_bin/usbhostfs_pc create a folder called ISO and put inside you iso or dax files (note: put it a name you can distinguish, because dax ziso will list both, files from memstick and files from computer).
Note: some people have reported to me that by unknown reasons, there is more chances of the iso working if you put one of the last letters like "v", "t", etc before the name: for example, Nba.iso -> vNba.iso. or tNba, etc
I know, it sounds weird, but if the file starts with one letter from r to z, it has more chances to work, and it's confirmed by me and other people.


Now, open the usbhostfs_pc.exe and if the firewall asks you to give it permission, do it (it's only local connections). Now open again daxziso with the usb cable, and select the iso of your pc that you want to play, and configure it with one of the methods "Direct Load", "MPHGL Direct" or "RUNUMD Direct" (the rest of others won't work at the moment).

Now, you should be playing the iso of your pc!! Note: in some cases, the real UMD is loaded instead. This may be becasue of driver inestability, this will happen with some isos and won't happen with others.

IMPORTANT: When you are not gonna use the usb thing, edit again the daxziso.ini file, and put again driver = null, since having the usbhostfs.prx loaded may decrease the compatibility of modes MPHGL Direct, Direct Load and RUNUMD Direct.

I hope i haven't forgotten nothing since the first time i installed usbhostfs with psplink was far ago.

nice work, you couldn't of laid it out any simpler then that.

[dragonuk]

[PureJaz]

GREAT WORK

I tried some other guys first (as it was the most bumped one)

I found it to be VERY incomplete and kinda complicated to understand

Then i saw this one, and it literally took me 2 mins to get working it helped so much

[roike]

complicated? no, at least not for me. a guy with the minimum knowledge about loaders can easily understand it :P

good work drago and Dark alex :P

[danny_kay1710]

can someone please post this file on a different site i can't get rapidshare to work no matter what browser i use and my ip is static.

PLEASE someone post it on megaupload.com or something please

i keep on getting download session invalid it is quite annoying

[dragonuk]

LOL, this gets sticky, and mines doesnt.

Just cause this is by Dark_alex lol

[Rizza]

when i run inf-wizard.exe and then choose to save my psp.inf file the application crashes and doesnt save it can someone please help me? does each PSP have a different inf file? if not then could you please upload it somewhere?

EDIT - its ok i managed to get it working.Just had to reboot my PC.

Hey Dark_Alex,

great work about this game via usb with daxziso..im gonna try it..keep up the good work :P..i hope in the next version we can use the same method with Wifi...just one suggestion about the daxziso.ini file...i know that if we dont use the usb connection to play the game(s), we must edit the ini file as it was originally..so im wondering..if in the next version(s) u can create 2 ini files..one called daxziso.ini and the other maybe daxzisousb.ini...and the usb one is already modified..and u modify daxziso so we can switch between the 2files depending on if we want to play the game from the usb/pc or from the ms...like..a new option under the allocate ram one..that let us load one of the 2 ini files...so we dont need to edit each time by ourself ..just a thought

anyway, the loader still rocks!!

I have installed the driver... and the folder daxiso was overwrited. i launch USBHOSTFs and then i launch DAXISO but it crashes... (blank screen), or when i load first daxiso and then usbhostfs, go to option and return to refresh the list of iso... daxiso crash again (no iso is added in the list.. )

what's wrong? i have put 2 isos (1 dax and 1 iso), 1 iso was in the memory stick too.



daxiso is 0.62 version

[psper!!!!]

thanks dark_alex for giving us such a great loader
i am having some problems loading the games with the usb i put the drives in and everything has worked right so far until i go to load the game off my computer with my psp i set some older games that work with direct load and when i go to load the games they just freeze or load the umd i have in the slot.
if any of you have any ideas please help me out

Does it work with the [http://www.supermediastore.com/apace...ve.html]Apacer Share Steno[/url]?

The Apacer acts as a computer (master), and it would be so awesome if it did work . Wishful thinking?

I don't think so. You need to install drivers on PC for it to work, and you can't install them on sometihing that isn't a PC .

Let me just say this is fantastic Dark_AleX - I love it!

I thought I'd let people know this if they don't already. One thing I have discovered while testing a few games is that when you are playing a game via USB you can no longer use the wifi capabilities. By this I mean games like Burnout Legends where you were able to play mulitplayer in normal DAX. When you are playing via USB, as soon as you enable multiplayer the USB is disconnected.

where u find the usbhostfs_bin and libusb-win32-device-bin and the daxziso.ini file. I seem to be a little confused so can anyone help me out?
