Old user come back to homebrew, question about PSX emu

[Stunan]

Hey guys its been a while since I've posted on here. I've just recently come back and purchased a PSP again since i got rid of my old one a couple of years ago. Just wanted to ask how far the PSX emulator has come since the days of 3.03 OE-C as that was the last firmware im familiar with using. Is there a better framrate with games, do they crash less and is the latest CW compatible with a lot more games now? I remeber back then there was a big problem with running resident evil 2 and 3.

RE 2-3 are running just fine now. You have to upgrade to an M33 firmware, around 3.90 or so, and get one of DA's applications called popsloader. Here is a link on how to use popsloader and what is needed: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/628073

When using popsloader, the compatibility of popstation is phenominally better. You can also now use multi-disk games from one eboot file. There have been a lot of popstation GUI's created, so you can pick and choose.

Among the highlights of working games now are:

Metal Gear Solid (both disks)
FFVII
Brave Fencer Musashi (yes, it really works)
Einhander (you need to check this game out)
Tekken 3
RE 2 (both disks, in and out of the police station)
RE 3 (complete)

One important thing that you need to keep in mind is that for RE 2 an Brave Fencer Musashi you need to change the game id's to SLPS-01222 (without the dash thing). This was the method discovered to fix the games.

Thanks a lot for the response its been much appreciated I've been looking up other stuff and I cant believe how far homebrew has come over the last year and a half before if you had firmware version 2.7+ or a TA-082 you were screwed!

Can you use this pops loader to play PSX games on v3.95 slim PSP?

Can you use this pops loader to play PSX games on v3.95 slim PSP?

Well having a modded psp lets you play PSX games on 3.95 slim. Pops loader lets you have a psx game load up under a previous firmware version.

Here's a link that explains it alot better than I ever could and has links and all that to get it done.
