The PSP Ultimate Repair Guide v1 provides you a step by step how-to on several hardware issues.

Featured in this tutorial are the steps for PSP disassembly, LED tutorial, what to do when your UMD does not read, power switch replacement, analog replacement, and more tips for repair. It’s actually simplified yet comprehensive, so am sure it’ll be helpful to the new users out there. Only thing lacking for me would be a “Back to Menu” button.

Thanks to http://www.tehskeen.com for the news (and also indirectly thanks to pspx256) 😉

Release notes by Radimus:

Premise is that there are many backup utilities that will backup/restore either dirs or the whole ROM, but not just for a specific apps settings. There are many ways that dev could use to store their settings for a given app, but getting them all to do the same way is “difficult”. However, if program A had it’s settings in a settings.ini (or whatever name) and that specific file could be backed up and restored later after a hard reset or new ROM installed, it would make the flashing a ROM even easier since UC came out.

My idea is for an app that works sort of like AppToDate, in that it will parse a collection of ini files in a directory to determine what a given progam uses for it’s configuation (files or reg keys) and will backup/restore them.

Basically all that someone needs to do is:
– Extract the UMCe2.zip to a folder on their Storage Card
– Register Mortscript (just click on it once, from this point on you can just click on a script and it will run.)
– Place the INI files that define the files or keys of the app that you’d like to backup/restore into the Storage CardUCMe2ini folder. I have posted a small collection of some INI files as examples
– If you’d like startmenu shortcuts, I attached a few dummy.exe files that you can put into the UCMe2 folder so you can make shortcuts.
– Run the UCMe2_Backup and it will read every INI file in the ini folder and store the backup files in Storage CardUCMe2Backup
– Run the UCMe2_Restore and it will read every INI file in the ini folder are restore the backups

Feel free to create your own INI files and post them here for others to share
