2.6 Train-Umd loader by Train2335 based off work by 0okm, hitchhikr and Humma Kavula.

This is just a application that loads the UMD that is in your UMD slot through eloader via GTA. It is incapable of loading isos
at the moment and problay will be for a long while ;-). Yet we are one step closer to loading Isos on 2.6!! :-)

Place the TrUmd folder in PSP/GAME/
Load Grand Theft Auto
Run Eloader
Select TrUmd and run it
Press X and load UMD

As of right now I am unsure if you can swap UMDs since I only have GTA :-(. I wouldn't see why you couldn't swap UMDs,
but ya know Sony can be wierd sometimes ;-).

It loads the UMD by:
sceKernelLoadExec("disc0:/PSP_GAME/SYSDIR/BOOT.BIN",0);

I have not released the source code yet as I don't see the need, it is quite easy to redupilcate this ;-). But if you get me at MSN - train2335@yahoo.com
I will give you the source(only if I think you need it)....

Thanks to Dark_Alex, Humma Kavula, hitchhikr, SonyXteam, Fanjita, Ditlew, PSPDEV, and everyone else that made this possible!
Special thanks to Mathieulh and 0okm!

And one more thing!, make you you check out www.deviantpsp.com !!!!!

This is confirmed working to load any UMD via the eLoader?

**PSPduh** · 08-12-2006, 07:02 AM

Can you please PM me the source code? I get a **** load of errors when I try to compile something with sceKernelLoadExec, plus I want to use it for something that I ain't going to release also. Thank you. :)

**Train** · 08-12-2006, 07:04 AM

I'm not sure I only have GTA :P. I know it works with GTA, wiether you can switch Gta with anyother UMD at the moment is unknown, until some tries it...

Ah ok. Thank you again. :)

**Abe_Froeman** · 08-12-2006, 07:06 AM

So if it's just loading GTA, how can you tell if its not the PSP just resetting itself and launching the game from startup?

Also, can you exit the game and return directly to the eLoader?

**Train** · 08-12-2006, 07:08 AM

Because theres no Splash and you can here the UMD loading and you can see the memory stick blinking...also I have not tried exiting the game yet. since my GTA only loads about 1/5 the time on devhook, so it takes me awhile to get to eloader:P, and why dont you just test it!lol...need anything else!?

It's an honest question man, relax.

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:10 AM

can it load 2.70+ things?

**Train** · 08-12-2006, 07:12 AM

Lol sorry Abe I didn't want to sound snotty or anything, I am just really tired. :P

I don't know, as I said I only have GTA, but it should work with any UMD if you switch it before you press X...

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:13 AM

hmph, are you sure? theresa extra work to ake it load umd's for higher firmwares

**Train** · 08-12-2006, 07:15 AM

As I said...I do not know

:o Now its like I am posting every 5 minutes, lol, so if you have a good question ask, if you dont then test it out and tell me if it loads higher UMDs cause I would like to know that for the next release...

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:16 AM

i dont have any

**SG57** · 08-12-2006, 07:17 AM

Seems like if you loaded this, it would just load GTA again....

**Train** · 08-12-2006, 07:19 AM

lol, yeah unless you switch UMDs when you enter the program, which should work but dont take my word since I dont have another UMD execpt GTA

. This is more of a POC anyways. To show that it is possible to load umds and also to show that we are that much closer to launch Isos (if we free up some Ram :)) This isnt really a useful program other than to know its possible :P

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:20 AM

can i have the source PM'ed please?

**PSPduh** · 08-12-2006, 07:21 AM

True but what happens if he adds a timer? Like after 1 minute it would launch the umd. Does GTA need to be after you launch homebrew? I am pretty sure not. This is really just a POC...You could launch any umd normaly, it would be useful if it launches 2.6+ umds, (non right now) or isos.
EDIT - @Glynnder - He said he would PM it to me tommorrow, so that's probably when he'll pm you it also.

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:23 AM

no it doesnt need to stay inserted
-= Double Post =-
thanks! looking forward to the PM

**PSPduh** · 08-12-2006, 07:24 AM

Exactly. So a timer would be a good idea. After one minute or 30 seconds, launches the UMD.

**kimbonious** · 08-12-2006, 07:25 AM

has anyone tested this yet with another UMD??

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:26 AM

i wish i could, but i dont have eLoader -.-

**Train** · 08-12-2006, 07:26 AM

Yeah, I will just post the source in here tomorrow :P. I am busy tonight and probably won't be home till tomorrow afternoon....

**Glynnder** · 08-12-2006, 07:35 AM

can u pm me it?

cos im away tomorrow

**SodR** · 08-12-2006, 07:56 AM

Ok, let me just get a few things clear here;

- This is nothing new, you don't even need to have access to the kernel to do this since sceKenelLoadExec is capable of loading the umd's unencrypted boot.bin in usermode.

- This is not a "step closer" to isos/newer games on 2.6 since this will only reset the kernel and re-launch the UMD

- For you who want to know how to do this;

Code:

#include <pspkernel.h>
#include <pspdebug.h>
#include <pspdisplay.h>
#include <pspiofilemgr.h>
#include <pspgu.h>
#include <pspumd.h>
#include <pspthreadman.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>


#define printf	pspDebugScreenPrintf

PSP_MODULE_INFO("zzz", 0, 1, 1);  

int exit_callback(int arg1, int arg2, void *common) {
	sceKernelExitGame();
	return 0;
}

int CallbackThread(SceSize args, void *argp) {
	int cbid;
	cbid = sceKernelCreateCallback("Exit Callback", exit_callback, NULL);
	sceKernelRegisterExitCallback(cbid);
	sceKernelSleepThreadCB();
	return 0;
}

int SetupCallbacks(void) {
	int thid = 0;
	thid = sceKernelCreateThread("update_thread", CallbackThread, 0x11, 0xFA0, 0, 0);
	if(thid >= 0)
	{
		sceKernelStartThread(thid, 0, 0);
	}
	return thid;
}

int main() {
	SetupCallbacks();
	pspDebugScreenInit();

	int x = 0;


			x = sceUmdCheckMedium(0);
			x = sceUmdActivate(1, "disc0:");
	sceKernelLoadExec("disc0:/PSP_GAME/SYSDIR/BOOT.BIN",0);
				
	return 0;
}

This is even easier to do than following the first hello world tutorial.

Nothing new here, just another person seeking fame...

Actually, I didn't know that, haha, well I guess I wasted an hour coding this for no reason really, lol, but atleast this is in kernal since I load it from the kernal exploit! I was wondering why I havent seen this done before since it was so easy. As I said in my read me that this is a simple program. Well I guess the thing I should work on now is getting 2.7+ Umds to load, I am pretty sure you cant do that without kernal mode;).

But Thanks SodR for saying something, I honestly didnt know that! :ROFL:

**SG57** · 08-12-2006, 08:18 AM

How do you know he is seeking fame SodR?

**Ravine** · 08-12-2006, 08:22 AM

Why else would someone post a program here?

Are you using SCiTE, Ravine?

**jsharrad** · 08-12-2006, 08:54 AM

It's code::blocks, what I use too while in windows :P

You are correct! Yeah, I code on Windows, I hardly ever boot into Linux on this computer.
