PSP Launcher needs to renew license

[alfredox123]

Executing the psp launcher tells me to renew license, how to activate this app correctly? thank you for your time.

[alfredox123]

i tried installing PSP Launcher [Official by COBRA] | v2.0 since some people said it removes the license issue but im still having the same issue

[aldostools]

It could be due a corrupted RIF in exdata directory your current user. Try creating a new user and launch the PSP launcher from there.

[alfredox123]

can i fix the rif somehow? the thing is that if i create a new user i will lose all the rif ive already installed thhrough reactpsn (which are alot of dlcs) right? or im wrong here?

[aldostools]

You're wrong. The PS3 scan the license on all users.

Indeed the issue could happen also if you have a corrupted RIF in another user. I recommend to delete the RIF corresponding to your PSP launcher (there are various versions with different content ID).

[alfredox123]

I created a new user and still got the same license error, can you indicate what should I be looking for and which folder on my HDD?

[aldostools]

I haven't experienced that error. Try asking in PSX-PLACE forums. Maybe someone that had your same issue found a fix.

[alfredox123]

I created an account yesterday but I don't receive the confirmation email to confirm the account and start replying, the other users say that installing other launchers worked for them, I'm gonna try another to see if it does something

[alfredox123]

Tried all this with no success, there's a missing rap somewhere, maybe installing a game that use that same psp remaster launcher? Do you know any?

[aldostools]

I only use the PSP Launchers available in the release page of webMAN MOD: https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/releases

Maybe the issue is with PS3HEN, since I only use CFW and never have experieced this error.

By the way, the PSP launchers don't require a license due they are signed as npDRM free.

[alfredox123]

Yeah those are the ones I first tried, maybe is an issue with hen as you say, then I give up, thank you anyway

[TheSSJ]

Must be something with 4.90HFW

Unfortunately i have no clue if and how to downgrade to prove this. Just saw a YouTube guide and the creator stated this as well

[Fls3h69]

Hey man alfredox I'm having exactly the problem you have and i kinda found out a better alternative and that is downloading psp games directly from the game stores or hen stores as pkg files , they run without needing the launcher

[Fls3h69]

Especially since psp games are a couple gig's or even by mb and i hope that helps

Maybe the issue is with PS3HEN

That's right, it's a bug from HEN 3.2.2, in 3.2.1 it works fine.

Thank you @LouisGarry for your feedback.

@esc0rtd3w it seems the bug is due the last commit where we removed the variable is_psp_launcher that was used in HEN to make the code consistent with Cobra/Mamba payloads where it is not necessary:

• Removed is_psp_launcher variable. It was creating an unnecessary the RAP for the PSP launcher

Thank you Aldo, I also want to report, the last wMM commit does not display ROMS on webMAN Games, it is empty.

[aldostools]

Thank you. I will verify. I tested the ROMS a moment ago and they showed fine.

Are your ROMS in NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, NET or internal? I will test again with a clean setup.

[aldostools]

I tested again with a clean setup and the ROMS are listed/working properly. BTW My roms are in /dev_hdd0/ROMS

Thank you Aldo, that's strange, I'll try reinstalling wMM.

[aldostools]

I found the issue in games_xml.h. Please download again the latest build.

[LouisGarry]

Oh very fast, works great Aldo, thank you very much.

[aldostools]

Excelent. Thank you for your confirmation and the bug report.

[LouisGarry]

Hi Aldo, sorry to bother you again, can I ask to add a feature if a noBD is detected, mount the game folder auto focus to ☆app_home? Thank You.

Please download the latest build and test the requested feature. noBD patch must be checked in /setup.ps3

[LouisGarry]

Thank you Aldo, I'll try tomorrow

[LouisGarry]

Works great, thanks Aldo 🙏

[aldostools]

Works great, thanks Aldo 🙏

Thank you for your feedback.

@aldostools same issue on the latest hen (test 2) with your fix

Still asking for the license

[aldostools]

I checked the recent changes from my PR and the block of code related to RAP license for PSP Launcher is identical to the code used 2 years ago (3.1.1).

Therefore the bug should be caused by some other change in the payload. I recommend to make a test build replacing the whole mappath.c module using as base the one from 3.2.1 which is the last known version of PS3HEN without the issue is 3.2.1.

[aldostools]

@LuanTeles I checked mappath.c of 3.21 and the changes in the latest build are minimal and practically unrelated.

Is the clock of your PS3 updated? Are you using 4.90 or 4.91? It could be an issue with the symbols, but first need to know the version in use due the symbols are different in these 2 versions.
