At theToyko Game Show 2009 (TGS09), IGN were lucky enough to score an exclusive co-op Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Demo release. Now while this demo is in Japanese, it also requires Firmware 5.51 or 6.00 to run.
I downloaded it, ran it on my PSP expecting to to see error message. “The game could not be started (80010013). However to my surprise its working on Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B2. So no need to flash Official Firmware 5.51 or Firmware 6.00 !! And added bonus. The demo looks good, although my Japan isn’t too hot so I don’t understand a thing…
Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B2 owners,
This is the version.txt you’ll need for it to run:
release:5.55:
build:3230,0,3,1,0:builder@vsh-build6
system:52556@release_555,0×05050510:
vsh6434@release_555,v52629@release_555,20090608:
target:1:WorldWide
Remember to activate version.txt in your Recovery menu and then go to Advance, Toggle usb (flash0). Then cut and paste the above text into your version.txt on flash0 vsh/etc/
Here’s some screen shots I took as proof it works on 5.50 GEN-B2 (You can’t take screenshots like this on Original Firmware..)

September 24, 2009 at 8:56 am

September 24, 2009 at 9:43 am
Yep its defiantly looks like one to buy. Its on my games to buy list (English version of course). The game plays much like Resistance Retribution.
September 24, 2009 at 8:59 am
The game will be release in english next year !
September 24, 2009 at 9:40 am
i just downloaded it and enabled version txt and pasted the new version txt but the game gives me the “game could not be started (80010013)” can someone who has this working help me out thanks
September 24, 2009 at 9:45 am
Mine works on my PSP-2004 (TA-85) Also I have disabled almost all plug-in’s. Did you overwrite the flash0 version text? Not just place it in the ms root like some ppl do?
September 24, 2009 at 10:16 am
was i supposed to paste that txt along with the original txt that was already saved in the original version txt? ive never replaced files in the flash0 for fear of messing it up
September 24, 2009 at 11:13 am
overwrite it and make sure you disable your plug-ins.
September 24, 2009 at 1:52 pm
i deleted the original version txt file do u think you can post exactly what ur version txt has so i can see if that works?
September 24, 2009 at 10:14 am
i have a psp 1001 i dnt have any plug ins installed and i did ovewrite the version.txt in the flash0 not in the root of the memory stick, but what i did was delete the old version txt file create a new one named version and pasted only release:5.55:
build:3230,0,3,1,0:builder@vsh-build6
system:52556@release_555,0×05050510:
vsh6434@release_555,v52629@release_555,20090608:
target:1:WorldWide
and saved it then exited then i put the DOCUMENT.DAT and EBOOT.PBP files taht were in the folder i downoaded from here into PSP/GAME then i went to game it showed up as a game. when i select it it says PSP then goes black then says “The game could not be started (80010013).
September 24, 2009 at 10:48 am

Glad you got it working !!
September 24, 2009 at 10:53 am

September 24, 2009 at 12:20 pm
you can disable your plug-ins in the recovery menu.
September 24, 2009 at 1:03 pm

September 24, 2009 at 1:45 pm

@PSPFan: http://ys.lancop.nl/upload/files/angelo/Plaatjes/pspslimhackspopup.png
The popup’s strike again!!! D:
September 25, 2009 at 5:15 am
I’ve looked into it and the site. We have no such pop up code or anything. I did a server wide virus scan too. Nothing. Looks like something on your end.
September 25, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Very strange then, I only have it on this site and it popped up when I clicked an item, happened on multiple PC’s too. However it doesn’t happen much.. rarely.
September 24, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Yes Superb…. Put folder in GAME not GAME 5.XX … and works with no problems…. Strange though using Plugins and still works… PSP-2003…
September 24, 2009 at 2:39 pm
yea it is starnge i had to dissable plug ins my psp is 1001 but its workin now woot woot i havent even played it my brother got first can anyone tell me how long the demo is? or if its multiplayer?
September 24, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Yeah I like the game, awesome graphics and physics, but aiming system ain’t perfect, Snake looks a bit funny when using manual aim, but that’s of course not a big deal lol. The other part of aiming system is great, reminds me on RR. I have also uploaded the vid of it’s short gameplay on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfmmE3pr8uw

September 24, 2009 at 11:12 pm
We have to get those motherf***ing Snakes, of this motherf***ing plane!
September 24, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Thanks for the download link and the info to get it going.My first time messing with USB flash 0….your tutorial worked great.
thanks again.
September 25, 2009 at 12:15 am
is the same process play other games than this demo?
September 25, 2009 at 2:28 am
No it won’t, the version.txt won’t help you play the newest games.
September 25, 2009 at 10:39 am
i dont know if its just me, but after doing the instruction above > the demo work perfectly
when it try running other games in my ms (dissidia, tekken dr) > it says “the game could not be started (80020148)
September 25, 2009 at 10:52 am
here’s what i did
enter rec. menu
-> advanced
-> advance config. then disable both plain modules & execute boot.bin
i also found out that you can already disable version.txt at the configuration
so you can enable the plug-ins that you want, like 4 ex.
i enabled
cxmb
hold+
charge_ctrl
vshmenu (revised)
you can also enable cfe_loader(vsh&game)
but if u had cfe_loader(vsh&game) enabled
the demo wont work anymore
it will say the game could not be blah blah blah

September 25, 2009 at 4:37 pm
PSPFan justinxtreme is saying that he has an exploit that will work on firmware up to 5.55 that would allow for cfw to work on the psps its an MOHH something we are all waiting to see whats up with the release date and a video I am giving him the benefit of the doubt but as far as I am concerned I am not buying into anything until you as the GENERAL give the full clearance that it is 100% safe.
September 25, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Look into this tread it is there Custom Firmware 5.55 LDX-D Beta Released. *Update Fake! If the MOHH exploit and the hack works then its all good…….
September 25, 2009 at 5:16 pm
ya wasn’t the 5.55 LDX-D full supposed to come out on the 24′th
September 25, 2009 at 5:43 pm
LDX was exposed as fake already…..
September 25, 2009 at 9:32 pm
umm no =P they just said that the beta wasn’t fully complete hence the reason beta they said that the full working version will come out soon
September 26, 2009 at 3:36 am
LDX 5.55 is fake. It’s the same as 5.50 GEN.
September 26, 2009 at 5:05 am
here’s a link that piphus from youtube posted as the LDX full version or LDX2.
http://ifile.it/oexsbqk
i havent tried it yet but someone already said that it still cant play 5.55 and 6.00 games
September 26, 2009 at 10:52 am
haha r u on crack dude i am runing on 5.50 gen right now so learn more about ur stuff befor u go sayin thing that u dont know shit about
September 26, 2009 at 11:56 am
thnx aeon44 that just made my day cause after i downloaded it i used the version update and i am now playing motor storm thnx
September 26, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I have a PSP-2004 TA-088v3 running CFWe 5.03 MHU (M33), my CFW is running in the memory and I can’t use a mms or pandora. I cannot change or update my CFW to anything else but 5.03 though Custom Firware Enabler and ChickenHEN.
Is it a bad idea to attempt to change the version.txt in my flash0?
I really want to try and run this demo on my PSP, obviously I get the standard error message but then again I haven’t changed the version.txt yet.
I’m scared I’ll brick my psp as it is not advised to write anything in the flash with these partially hackable PSP’s such as mine or the PSP-3000. If I brick it, then that’s it, I cannot recover it.
September 26, 2009 at 1:24 pm
well yes it is a bad idea cause if u do one tiny thing wrong u can get the evil ROSD/ red screen of death and then there is no going back unless u restore the nand restore. and the only way to do that is pandoras battery so NO dont do it! i do not wont anything bad to happen to ur psp
September 26, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Thanks for the sound advice. Yeah, I’m hoping some one with a PSP-3000 has tried their luck since I’ve got the same disadvantages as a PSP-3000. Looks like I’m going to have to wait until newer CFW is released or buy a second PSP to run OFW.
September 26, 2009 at 2:47 pm
i had a psps 3000 and i threw it in the ocean then got it and told my parents i dropped it they felt bad and got me a 2000 XD
September 26, 2009 at 8:38 pm
so only with that one no other like grand turismo
September 26, 2009 at 8:43 pm

I’m running Gen-D2 and did not need the version.txt hack copy and paste. All I did was enable version.txt, disable game plugins through recovery menu, put it on sony np9600 w/e driver, and she played.
