Great, I've run out of healing items in Silent Hill and now I'm basically out of luck because it just stops giving me any and I can't backtrack. And I don't wanna restart now, I've come way too far

I just wish there was a cheat to give me more healing items… maybe I can edit my memory card file?

Oh right, the PSP has some kind of checksum and will just automatically delete any 'corrupt' memory card files

I wanted to like this game, I really dig PSX survival horror

@noiob on a psx you can modify memory with that serial port in back - but I think on psp you're sol :(

@Fuego Thanks but I think the software that validates PSX memcards is probably not the firmware but the PSX emulator?

@noiob psx loader is in that firmware under 'popcorn' - it hooks and modifies the emulator, looks pretty easy to modify if you had to but yeah the save file integrity check is in silent hill itself

I thought the psp was doing when you said they were checks like the vita to prevent jailbreaking when you mentioned deleting corrupt saves

@Fuego I guess I should look into the save format anyways to be able to convert raw memcards into the PSX format, it'd be handy to be able to just swap savestates around
