Booting VSH in Jpcsp

[DragonNeos]

2) VSH is showing duplicate entries for any file and doesn't allow execution of encrypted EBOOT.PBP (except for certain demos/trial games that are classified in the "MG" category such as Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 Trial which will crash the emulator after gameboot.pmf loads)

I can't reproduce this issue. Are you sure you don't have multiple times the same directory defined in Settings.properties for "emu.umdpath*"?

I only have the default directories listed in the configuration when the emulator is first started up. After conducting some further tests, it seems that only files placed in the Memory Stick directory will display duplicate entries. Disk Images that are placed in umdimages will display correctly as individual entries in the VSH.

Code:

emu.umdpath=umdimages
emu.umdpath.1=ms0/PSP/GAME

It should also be noted that the homebrew game pong (provided in JPCSP in "ms0/PSP/GAME") does not work when selected from the VSH (displayed as "Corrupted Data" and when selected displays "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted.") The game does work when selected from "Load UMD..."

Execution of any encrypted EBOOT.PBP is still prohibited when selected from the VSH (displays "The copyright protection information is invalid (8010850E)"). Is there a particular file that I could remove from the "kd" or "vsh" directory such as "np*.prx" or "np*.rco" to allow encrypted EBOOT.PBP to load from the VSH natively?

3) After selecting a game, there should be audio playing on the screen with PSP displayed as the emulator is attempting to load the game (gameboot.pmf is not consistent in always producing the booting sound). None of the audio prx modules is producing any sound when the game is loaded.

This should now be fixed in e90c14b.

The actual issue was that I let the emulator attempt to load avcodec.prx and its dependencies (audiocodec_260.prx, mpegbase_260.prx, & videocodec_260.prx) as the game was starting up from VSH which resulted in the game having no in-game audio. The solution was to remove these files from the "kd" directory which restored the in-game audio when I tried to load the game again from the VSH.

Another issue that I forgot to mention is that users aren't able to enter System Settings. When users select this option in the VSH, they are immediately shown this error message (1st Screenshot). After pressing the Circle button, the VSH display appears to be messed up as the System Settings options appear in the background (2nd Screenshot).
