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 :(

@noiob * unless you rooted it...

@Fuego it's hacked and everything

@noiob just disable the checksum check

@Fuego how do I do that

@noiob what firmware version do you have on it now

@Fuego 6.61

@Fuego sorry, 6.60

@noiob if youre using pro cfw the source is here:

@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

@noiob if you make a silent hill trainer that'd be pretty cool :) Lemme know if you want help reversing the binary!

@Fuego I'm more interested in being able to move savegames between memory cards, I've been working on a psx memcard parser in Rust and I'll probably include an option to convert to/from PSP and PS3 at this point

It'd be an interesting project to look at Silent Hill more closely, though

@Fuego I've also been thinking of making a randomizer for a PSX game, the police station part of RE2 would be interesting

@noiob what sort of stuff do you want to randomize?
