= Installation =
First, look up the version/firmware for your PSP. You can do this by going to system settings and then system information.


You will get 3 lines:
* Copy the relevant game datafiles to your memory stick (location doesn't matter).
<pre>MAC Address: (Your PSP's specific MAC address)
* Download the latest psp development version [https://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html here]
System software version: (Your PSP's firmware version)
* Install ScummVM like any other homebrew.
Nickname: (The nickname you put onto PSP)</pre>
* Run ScummVM and use the launcher to add games and run them.
* Press Start to return to the launcher and play another game.

= Image Viewer =
For your convenience, I've included a simple image viewer in the PSP port.
You can view anything you want while playing a game.
There are a few simple rules to follow:
 
* Images must be of PNG format. If you have images in another format, many graphics utilities will convert them for you.
 
* Images must be named psp_image1.png, psp_image2.png etc. This is to make sure there's no possible conflict between image files and game files.


* Images must be placed in the game directories. When using the image viewer,only the images of the particular game being played will be available for viewing.


== Firmware Versions ==
* Don't place any images in the ScummVM directory, or you won't be able to seethe images in the game directories.
There are 28 different firmware versions:


=== Official Versions ===
* There's no guarantee that you'll be able to view your image. This is because big images take a lot of memory (more than the size of the image on disk). If there isn't enough memory left to show the image, ScummVM will tell you so. Try to make the image smaller by either shrinking it or reducing the colors to 256 color palette mode.
*1.00
*1.50
*1.51
*1.52
*2.00
*2.01
*2.50
*2.60
*2.70
*2.71
*2.80
*2.81
*3.00
*3.01
*3.02
*3.03
*3.10
*3.11
*3.30
*3.40


=== Unofficial Versions ===
= Notes =


*1.50 CF (Custom Firmware, Shows as 1.50)
* Notice that you can switch between games! This is much faster than quitting and having to start ScummVM all over again. Go to the global menu and choose 'Return To Launcher'. (Some games may not have the Return To Launcher option available yet.)
*2.71 SE (Special Edition) (5 different versions; A, B, B', B" and C)
*3.02 OE (Open Edition) (2 different versions; A and B)
*3.03 OE (Open Edition) (1 version; A)
*3.10 OE (Open Edition) (2 different versions; A and A')
*3.30 OE (Open Edition) (2 different versions; A and A')
*3.40 OE (Open Edition) (1 version; A)


== Installing onto Memorystick ==
* The PSP version of ScummVM uses the Media Engine to accelerate decoding of MP3 files. This means that if you have the choice of compressing using Ogg files or MP3 files, choose MP3 -- the game will generally run faster.
Now that you know your firmware version we can begin with the installation instructions which are different for the firmwares, depending on the exploit they are using. <tt>X:/</tt> is the drive given to your PSP by windows (i.e. <tt>G:/</tt>). XMB stands for Cross Media Bar, which is the menu you get on your PSP (also on PS3).  


=== Firmware 1.00/1.50 CF - No Exploit ===
* Plugin files are NOT interchangeable between ScummVM versions! You must copy ALL the plugin files that come with every version of ScummVM. They sit in the /plugin subdirectory. If you get a crash upon startup, try deleting all the existing plugin files in the plugin directory and copying the new ones over again.
Firmware 1.00 needed no exploit to run homebrew as there was no security against the system from running unsigned eboot.pbp's. Firmware 1.50 CF patched a PSP running a regular firmware 1.50 so that it could run unsigned eboot.pbp's like firmware 1.00 (among other features).


To install ScummVM on one of these firmwares, copy the folder inside the single-eboot folder from the ScummVM PSP zip to <tt>X:/PSP/GAME/</tt>. Then run from the XMB.
= Frequently Asked Questions =


=== Firmware 1.50/1.50 CF - kxploit ===
'''Q''':  Scummvm crashes upon starting up!
Patching the vunerability that firmware 1.00 had, firmware 1.50 was released. Shortly after, an exploit was found, 'swaploit', which involved swaping between two memory sticks which enabled the homebrew to load. Later, kxploit was released which could load homebrew from one memory stick using 2 folders (i.e. <tt>example</tt> and <tt>example%</tt>)


To install ScummVM on one of these firmwares, copy the folders inside the 1.50-eboot folder from the ScummVM PSP zip to <tt>X:/PSP/GAME/</tt>. Then run from the XMB.
'''A''': See the first note above.


=== Firmware 2.00/2.01/2.50/2.60/2.70/2.71/2.80 - Eloader ===
It was firmware 1.51 that blocked kxploit, but many PSP users refused to update. This caused Sony to release a major update that would tempt people to update. Thus, firmware 2.00 was released which came with a built-in web browser, and caused many PSP users to update. However, one of the new features brought two new exploits (both are TIFF exploits). The first was exclusive to 2.00 and was patched with 2.01. The second wasn't discovered until after firmware 2.80 was released, a vulnerability with libtiff. Team Noobz has built on these exploits to bring the homebrew community Eboot Loaders (called Eloader)


To install ScummVM on one of these firmwares, copy the folder inside the single-eboot folder from the ScummVM PSP zip to <tt>X:/PSP/GAME/</tt>. You now also need to install Eloader, the newest version of which can be found at [http://www.noobz.eu www.noobz.eu]. Download the exe and follow the instructions to make sure you install successfully. Once you have Eloader installed, turn your PSP on and go to the XMB photo viewer. There should be a new folder called eloader0995. Trying to open this folder will do one of two things:
'''Q''': Pressing select doesn't make the virtual keyboard show up on screen!


# Crash your PSP. If this should happen, restart your PSP and try again.
'''A''':  You need to make sure that the kbd.zip file is in the same directory as the ScummVM executable.
# Start Eloader. Run from Eloader menu.


=== Firmware 2.71 SE/3.02 OE/3.03 OE/3.10 OE/3.30 OE/3.40 OE ===
All of these custom firmwares were made by Dark_AleX. They combine firmware 1.50 with another firmware (as stated in their names) so PSP users can play homebrew and use higher firmware features (most recently POPS the official PS1 emulator), without needing devhook, two PSPs or a modchip.


To install ScummVM on one of these firmwares, copy the folders inside the 1.50-eboot folder from the ScummVM PSP zip to <tt>X:/PSP/GAME150/</tt>. Then run from the XMB.
'''Q''': What do I need to run the games?
Alternatively, copy the folder inside the single-eboot folder from the ScummVM PSP zip to <tt>X:/PSP/GAME150/</tt>. Then run from the XMB.


=== Firmware 1.51/1.52/2.81/3.00/3.01/3.02/3.10/3.11/3.30/3.40 ===
'''A''':  A PSP that can run homebrew and the necessary datafiles for the game you want to play.
Currently there is no exploit that allows you to run unsigned eboots on these firmwares. 1.51, 1.52, 2.81, 3.00, 3.01 and 3.02 can upgrade to a higher firmware that runs homebrew.


== Notes ==
* You can downgrade your PSP's firmware to 1.50, but doing so can completely break your PSP (a process called "bricking", as afterward your PSP is essentially nothing but a fancy brick). The reason some brick is mainly due to a hardware problem. Some PSP's have a motherboard referred to as TA-082, and any PSP with this motherboard will not allow 1.50 to be run on the PSP, therefore downgrading will irrevocably break such a PSP.

Image Viewer

For your convenience, I've included a simple image viewer in the PSP port. You can view anything you want while playing a game. There are a few simple rules to follow:

  • Images must be of PNG format. If you have images in another format, many graphics utilities will convert them for you.
  • Images must be named psp_image1.png, psp_image2.png etc. This is to make sure there's no possible conflict between image files and game files.
  • Images must be placed in the game directories. When using the image viewer,only the images of the particular game being played will be available for viewing.
  • Don't place any images in the ScummVM directory, or you won't be able to seethe images in the game directories.
  • There's no guarantee that you'll be able to view your image. This is because big images take a lot of memory (more than the size of the image on disk). If there isn't enough memory left to show the image, ScummVM will tell you so. Try to make the image smaller by either shrinking it or reducing the colors to 256 color palette mode.

Notes

  • Notice that you can switch between games! This is much faster than quitting and having to start ScummVM all over again. Go to the global menu and choose 'Return To Launcher'. (Some games may not have the Return To Launcher option available yet.)
  • The PSP version of ScummVM uses the Media Engine to accelerate decoding of MP3 files. This means that if you have the choice of compressing using Ogg files or MP3 files, choose MP3 -- the game will generally run faster.
  • Plugin files are NOT interchangeable between ScummVM versions! You must copy ALL the plugin files that come with every version of ScummVM. They sit in the /plugin subdirectory. If you get a crash upon startup, try deleting all the existing plugin files in the plugin directory and copying the new ones over again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Scummvm crashes upon starting up!

A: See the first note above.


Q: Pressing select doesn't make the virtual keyboard show up on screen!

A: You need to make sure that the kbd.zip file is in the same directory as the ScummVM executable.


Q: What do I need to run the games?

A: A PSP that can run homebrew and the necessary datafiles for the game you want to play.


Q: Can I run game X with this?

A: You can find the list of supported games on the compatibility page at http://www.scummvm.org. Note that ScummVM is NOT an emulator. The supported games engines have been painstakingly rewritten. It's not easy to add support for a game you want that currently isn't supported.


Q: My Monkey Island 1 doesn't have any music, what gives?

A: If your version of Monkey Island came on a CD then it has the music as CD Audio tracks. You need to rip those to MP3/Ogg (MP3 is preferred), naming them track1.mp3 track2.mp3 etc. and copy them to the same directory as the game datafiles for music to work.


Q: Game X crashes, or feature Y doesn't work. Can you fix this?

A: Possibly. Because of the large amount of games ScummVM supports we obviously haven't played them all start-to-finish on the PSP, so it's possible there are bugs or issues that we're not aware of. When you encounter such a bug, please use the "Bug Tracker" you find linked on the ScummVM website, and mention all relevant info i.e. that you're using the PSP version, which ScummVM version it is, if the problem exists in a recent PC version, a detailed description of the problem, and if at all possible a nearby savegame. This will make it much easier for us to reproduce (and hopefully fix) the problem.

Building the source code

To build ScummVM for PSP you need:

(x) = optional

Once you've installed these libraries (read their README.PSP for instructions), create a subdirectory in your ScummVM folder called 'builds/psp'. Then, in this folder, type

   ../../configure --host=psp --enable-plugins --default-dynamic 

If everything is installed correctly, ScummVM will inform you as it finds the right components. Finally type

  make 

to build.
