I've ran into a problem while trying to play Bugs Bunny Lost in Time - the game doesn't start after selecting the language.
Mickey Mouse's Wild Adventure - missing soundtrack, sound effects work, but no music in the background.

So I'm running atm with 6.60LME since PRO doesn't have a working RJL (least when I last checked, update me on this if I'm wrong.)

I've downloaded Popsloader for 6.60 PRO and Popsbridge v3 from neurOns site. But I'm getting the "800100002 " error all the time.

Any advices you guys could share? I'm at a loss here. : < Rather play these games on the go than on my 14" flat screen beast.

Try this modified version of Popsloader by popsdeco (I think that was his username, lol): http://www.mediafire...l7ocxfzfciqra39

Extract the files from the 'dist' folder. Oh, and it doesn't need the bridge anymore on LME because it's been integrated into the prx itself. Should work on both PRO and ME.

Note that it doesn't contain any of the needed pops files. You'll have to find those yourself.

Dang, I already downloaded the v4c, but I got confused since it had so many folders I didn't know a thing about.

Ammm.....what pop files are you refering to? I mean, the dist folder has both popscore.prx and popsloader.prx + modules.... So am I just stupid and missing something here?

E* Tried both with popsbridge and without it, still same error code 80010002

It is too old... Use https://www.dropbox.com/s/mj92ccgvwoit746/popsloader_v4f1.7z
put dist/* to ms0:/seplugins/popsloader/ then add ms0:/seplugins/popsloader/popsloader.prx 1 to pops.txt.
By the way did you install pops modules (ms0:/seplugins/popsloader/401/pops.prx etc)?

I got the modules already from iamfreaks compilation (dashhacks) but I'm having troubles finding the right pops version to use when playing Bugs Bunny, only 6.60 seems to be working but that too freezes upon selecting language. I read that changing to U version might help so I'm gonna try that next.

Anyone got any idea what's up with the Mickey game? I've tried 1 rip and 1 download but they both had the same problem with audio.

PopsDeco 0.14 app can check if your pops modules are ok or not... if not ok, you can re-dump them using it.

Everything came out "OK" with rev 2.

I found out that the Mickey's Wild Adventure is a lost cause since the CDA track is reportedly not working. (damn, loved the music

Well it only worked for me using 3.90 but I have a psp-1000 and last time I checked 3.90 doesn't work on go .
Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that I've got 3004 model (0.9g). I'm going through all the pops starting from 6.60 at the moment, will edit in results later.


E* No succes with any of the pops version found in iamfreaks compilation. :(

ah yes, forgot to mention that.
So try 3.52 and 6.10... It is very sad that 3.72 (the most compatible one) cannot be loaded on 09g.

Posploaders from 3.71-6.00 doesn't work on 9gs too .

Yeah I noticed that, but I thought some older might work so I went through em all in any case.

I tried them all, from 3.0 up to 6.60 - not even half could run the game and none of them worked past the language selection.
Think I'll try figure this out more after work tomorrow, hope it ain't gonna take my whole afternoon again. :D

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
