# UMD Live Patch
|
|
|
|
This project is a _system module_ for the PlayStation Portable, specifically the [ARK-4] custom firmware.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
As with any other ARK-4 plugin, place the `umd_livepatch.prx` file in the `SEPLUGINS` directory in your MemoryStick, then enable the plugin for the `VSH` and `UMD` modes.
|
|
|
|
The `VSH` mode is optional, but will allow you to see the patched game info for your game.
|
|
|
|
### Patching a game
|
|
|
|
For performance reasons, this system module does not accept `xdelta3` files you might commonly find. Instead, it uses its own format: UMDiff.
|
|
|
|
For a given game, copy the `umdiff` file to `/SEPLUGINS/UMDPATCH/` in your MemoryStick, renaming it to match the game ID you want to patch.
|
|
|
|
For example, a patch for _K-ON! Ho-Kago Live!!_ (game ID `ULJM-05709`) will be saved under `/SEPLUGINS/UMDPATCH/ULJM-05709.UMDIFF`.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> This plugin **does not** perform integrity checks. It will gleefully "patch"
|
|
> the wrong file if you tell it to, which will probably prevent the game from booting.
|
|
|
|
### Generating a UMDiff file
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the `umdiff` tool to generate a UMDiff file.
