[Poopington]

I dont know if then have a roms section but hey ill post it till i get in trouble.

noice, thanks





And yeah, thanks for the guide, Jamstruth; it is a good one. I had a peculiar position, though, in that my roms came from a redump, and were organized into bins and cues. Multitrack bins. It took me a while to figure out to mount the cue on a virtual drive and then reimage it. I'm mostly just posting this in case anybody else ever has the same problem and is equally crappy at solving it.

Is this any different for 6.35 PRO-B5? I heard you could play the original PS1 files off the memory card w/o conversion.

no you still need to convert but compatabilty isn't that great like m33-6

Excellent guide, made an already simple process dead easy, thanks!

i can't seem to find the eboot file on my psp. I've placed it in the game folder, the game150 folder, the game5xx folder and the ISO folder, but it never shows up on my PSP

 

[Nathan Drake]

You have to leave the EBOOT in the folder that it comes out of the converter in (the folder with it's game ID number). That's how the PSP identifies it.

You may also wish to change this for compatibility reasons. (Check Here to check whether your game has any compatibility issues

That link is now dead, I don't know if Gamerpress has gone down completely or not (I presume it has as it's inaccessible for me). We USED to have a comprehensive list on the GBAtemp Wiki, and also a thread for it but I think it has since been removed for some bizarre reason (the Wiki list, not sure if the thread has gone too). I'll try searching for the thread again, but I can't find the wiki page at all.

EDIT:- it appears the thread to go with the list has also long been lost.

EDIT2:-

You just had the web address marginally wrong (I'm not sure what's up with google either it's throwing my bad messages trying to get to gamerpress by google searching).

Here is the correct web address:- Gamerpress Popsloader compatability

After converting, is the EBOOT.pbp signed?

No It requires a hack to play

 

[slayerdx]

so how do i push the r2 and l2 buttons? as the PSP does not seem to have those options

 

[Rydian]

In the HOME screen you can change the controls.

The Default is that Left and Right on the Analog Stick perform those actions (I'm sure you can figure out which is which). These options can be changed in the Home menu for games that require L2 and R2 more.

I know, but it did not work.

 

[haddad]

bump......

 

[xist]

It's because it's far too big. If the total size of the pics and at3 is over 500kb you won't get any sound.

Thanks for the great guide.
This was working with 5.50 Gen-D3, but it seems that 6.20+ CFW don't support POPS/custom PSX eboots, so anything other than PSN PSX dumps won't work.

Unless anyone has any other info and can correct me...

 

[Rydian]

PRO B5, B6, and B7 all should have custom POPS support.

 

[rad140]

PRO B5, B6, and B7 all should have custom POPS support.

I have 6.20 PRO B7 and it's been really bugging me trying to get it to work.
Custom Eboots for Silent Hill (black screen) and Tales of Phantasia (crash) didn't work... I haven't tried any others, but they were both converted using this guide.
