IceTea 1.0

[tommydanger]

Hi

IceTea 1.0 is now available

IceTea is a graphical user interface for making PSX Eboots.
I know there are already to many of them but I started the project because of two reasons:
-to incorporate all the latest PSX<->PSP features into one single ready to use executable plus make it as easy to use as possible
-to make a multiplatform solution for pops (almost all pops guis needs .net framework ._.)
(should work on win98 onwards)

It uses the wxWidgets library for the graphical output, although only win binary available atm.
Feel free to port it to whatever OS wxWidgets supports.

As of now IceTea provides the following features:
-Create PSP compatible PSX eboot (customize eboot menu appearance)
-Extract ISO from PSX eboot
-Create manual from png images
-Create manual from text file (useful for gamefaqs,..)

IceTea is open source released under the GPL
Download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/icetea/

I also want to thank the following people whose code I've used in IceTea
-Coldbird
-Dark_Alex
-flatwhatson
-Tinnus
And also everyone I forgot who made it all possible

Source can be grabbed via svn

In case you haven't noticed in the picture:
Generated psx eboots will only run on 3.03 OE-C (onwards)

Though I've tested it thoroughly you may experience some bugs

PS: Whoever knows the reason why it's called IceTea gets a cookie :P

Hrmmm. You don't need the base.PBP file? Would that mean it contains it, thus making it illegal?

[theaceoffire]

Nah, my autopopstation doesn't need an illegal base.pbp either.

Basically, a guy has a stripped version of base.pbp, with only the emulator. Smaller, and legal.

^_^ I like this thing! Very nice.

[gymnotropic]

A stripped version of the base.pbp still contains copyrighted material-- that being the emulator. :P Don't mean to cause trouble, but just saying that this may be illegal to own and use. *Cough*.

Doesnt this use the new DA method? He included it with the new C revision in order to replace the need for a base.pbp

This is from the readme of 303 C "- popstation now lets the use of non-encrypted DATA.PSP. If data.psp is in the same directory as the app,
popstation will use that as the DATA.PSP of the eboot.pbp. Otherwise, it will use the one from BASE.PBP.
A DATA.PSP that imitates the original sony one is included."

But where does the emulator itself come from? :P I thought that it was in the EBOOT itself, and not installed to the flash when you updated to 3.0x.

No no no, the PSX emulator is implemented into the FREELY distributed firmware updates by SONY. The EMU is included as .prx files in the F0/KD folder on your PSP's flash. pops.prx, popsman.prx, and a couple others.

Nothing "illegal" about this.

Anyway, great job tommydanger. Work seems to have slowed down on some of the other GUI's. Nice to see more and more releases.

Hmm, is it called IceTea because the Tea is the general program (converting PSXPSP) and the Ice is the thing that makes it different than the rest of them? I dunno, just a shot in the dark.
