Hacking Adrenaline popsloader psx games?

[Skaidus]

Hi. Want to play popsloader games like spyro the dragon pal, tales of phantasia or looney tunes lit.

Is there any way? Thanks!

i think you can load the plugin with Adrenaline

You can?

You can?

It shouldn't work, as the Vita's PSP mode (or even a PSP Go) isn't accurate enough to the PSPs Popsloader (and the individual PS1 emulators) were designed for

If your only goal is audio streaming, you can use the cdda_enabler plugin instead

(tales of phantasia - already works try the gemini translation) - (anything 3D on psx, really didn't hold up well, except for some rpgs and stuff like Colony Wars, MGS VR, I don't care for Spyro but, you can try some cheats since "CW Cheat" works, just a thought, but your not missing out on much)

2. psx2psp, classic mode, no patches from psx2psp on a english/gemini 1.0 patched rom

The game boots up fine and I've hadn't had any crashes with it, I also haven't played much beyond the first town.

Any game dump from a good source will do .................. if you have a save I can just plug into the save folder with adrenaline to see if it crashes or not, testing your rip of the game .................. but, that patch is good, there's been some reports of this patch crashing on the last boss or something, but not by everyone, or maybe it was another patch since there's about three of them, don't remember which one that applied too.

After you get a good rip of the game, (1),burn it to cd, or mount it, and then make a .cue/.bin image file with "ultraiso" ... ... ... ... you can also try to make the image with "clonecd" .sub/.ccd/.img and then delete the ".sub" file and then mount or burn the image and make a .cue/.bin image with "ultraiso".

(everyone knows the "plextor" pc drives were infamous for making good subchannel dumps of psx games, but that was also a myth any pc drive and modify the sub channel data, you just have to try a few different programs before burning the image ................. you don't need to use "cdmage" that was also a myth", anyway, I haven't played that far in the game, but I haven't experienced any crashes or anything) (the ps2 hardware/console was good for testing the subchannel, after modding the unit, for the games that would only boot properly based on the subchannel data) (that was the workaround for not having a developer kit or anything, a poor's man fix for the psx rips, long before, those library dumps with subchannel data included, you can play with, etc.)

Thanks for the rom. Ill try it.

What is the last paragraph? Burning the cd? Why would I do that?

Cannot play the eboot just like it is?

Edit: oh, its only the patch. You know, the eboot without patch of a japanese rom does not work. I am giving up

Tales of Destiny Gemini 1.0/Eboot.bin and KEYS.BIN

Game Folder Name, plus those two files (KEYS.BIN is only needed on some versions of pops, i just throw it in there anyway),

ps1 games go in ux0/pspemu/PSP/GAME .... a folder for the game's name with eboot.bin and keys.bin ....... psp goes in the ISO folder, ux0/pspemu/ISO .... "gamename.cso"

I'm sure you know all that already.

The games executable files on the adrenaline can still read subchannel data.................before you use psx2psp to build the eboot file, you'll have to obtain an image of the game, but the reason you may want to burn it is to change some of the value in the subchannel data or mount it, before making the .cue/bin image (s) ................... it can help, for this Tales of Phantasia, i think i just nabbed a rip from a good source, nothing special, then ran it through ultraiso after mounting it or something. (Final Fantasy 7/8/9 hard mod patches work, saga frontier 2 works used a protection fix patch may not be needed, skull monkeys requires a patch but does work afterwards ........ Legend of Dragoon Encounter Fix patch works, and Xenogears Hard Mod Works, and Saga Frontier 1 with "Monster Ability Seal Equip patch and Alk's Stat Learn" patches applied.

And what I have to change from the iso? I get it from the net. I dont have a disc.

 

[yeshuachrist]

Probably Nothing, I played the game for a few hours in the first town and forest, and noticed no crashes or problem ................... there's probably even some bad rips still floating around on the net, so you'll just need a good source to patch, so plenty of good sources too.

(Spyro was even working with nothing special done to it I think, but, right now all of my favorites from ps1, so I left everything else alone on there, because lots of games that did not hold up well over time)

 

[yeshuachrist]

so you can see, the archive size for the game, so actually the game is really twice as big, but normally if you find a good dump it should be standard size and it will work no problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT

and those were all bad dumps, with the expanded sizes, but some similar method of expansion was used on the nds/gba roms, in how they expanded the partition tables into blank spaces, just like those earthbound patches.
