OK, ignore everything i said about Hot Shots Golf 2 because it'll just confuse you. You just need the base.pbp and keys.bin files required for PSX eboot conversion....a few minutes of trial and error should avail you of those.

What game are you trying to convert?
I got a lot of hours of errors and trial =P

I tried with every single convert app, via Command Line and GUI versions, none of this works. I also try to convert that to ISO, MSD, BIN etc... Those converted works perfectly on my PC emulator, but doesnt on PSP.

I'm trying to play Pink Panther - pinkadelic pursuit, its not a famous game...

And another question, the base.pbp that comes with Popstation GUI (PSX2PSP), its Ok to use via popstation command line?

PSX2PSP shouldn't come with one as base.pbp is copyrighted. That's why they made the alternative DATA file. It may work, but you'd need the keys.bin file too.

On searching it seems people have already converted the game to PSP format so it should work. I think you may need to investigate popsloader as your eboot may be fine but just not work on your current pops version.

Sure this game works, but only without BGM. Thats why I ask about CDDA support.

Slow down... Im little bit confuse right now, so what should I do? I found the Hot Shots game, I guess its original (already in EBOOT.PBP).

Searching on google, there is only few discussions about the key.bin, everybody says: "We are not allowed to talk about that" or "You dont need it now"...

And, this is my game structure:

Your google skills are wanting...seems that you need to address your search terminology...something like

PSX - Base.PBP con Keys.BIN converter per PSP

From there it's a matter of using the conversion tool and popsloader.

I know how to find, what I dont know is which tool I need to use. Popstation with CDDA do the job?

Sorry for asking that, I'm kinda newbie here...

edit:

ok now its working, but keeps with no BGM...

I am interested in this too. I found this guide
http://m.afterdawn.com/forums/t/f-210/675334

If it works for you let me know

I was also wondering if their is any analog stick support for games at all, I guess it's impossible to do 2 sticks but is it possible to do 1? I was thinking of putting colony wars on my psp.

If you use a Dualshock3 controller can you even play games like ape escape?

I have not had good success with PSone emulation on PC and am liking PSP better or this even more than playing on the PS3 because these games look like ass on the HDTV.

With the TV out option this might be the simplest way to play PSone backups for me.

No, go ahead and rename it, just mke sure not to rename the eboot inside

Oh i see. Thank's A lot :D

By the way, just one question (sorry) um..the game was actually Tomb Raider 2, not Pandemonium 2, my mistake :P
The thing is, Tomb Raider 2 wont work on Emulators on PC and it wont work on PSP now. I mean, it WORKS, but only until the point where i select the New Game or Lara's House, and than it shows BLACK screen, just like on PC.
I tried many ISO's of TR2 but no luck... what''s with PSX Tomb Raider games, i just don't get it? :(

I really like TR games
