OK, on the playstation store, there's two files you need to download. One is the main "data" file (383MB for syphon filter), the other is the 100Kb License file. Once the license is downloaded it shows up in the new "Certification Manager" on the PSP:

Once the data file is installed, it shows up in the memory stick area just like the free demos:

Upon loading the game, you're greeted with a familiar logo...

And after the requisite credit screens, you get the menu:

Introducing... Gabe Logan!

Pressing the home button brings up a number of options available to the emulator...

... including the COMPLETE game manual:

You also have the option of adjusting the video output to fill the entire screen:

This distorts the image a little bit, but i think its worth it to get the full sized image.

As far as the installation processes. The download went pretty quickly, and it will require the PSP to be plugged in prior to the download. Hopefully this restriction will be removed once the PS3 itself can play the games. It is clear the download is stored on the PS3 HDD, but it does not seem to be accessible from the XMB interface.

After the download is complete, there is an installation process to the PSP, which actually takes WAY too long. Clearly its doing more than just copying the file because 383MB over USB2 should be done in a few minutes. It took at least 10.

Also, the license download is probably going to be confusing for some people. Its not a big deal per se, but it isn't very elegant.

Including the manual was a pleasant surprise.

On the memory card, the game file is in /PSP/GAME/SCUS94240 and the eboot.pbp itself is 387MB, so we're clearly not just getting an ISO here.

B-E-A-Utiful! I love Syphon Filter. Is It Fullspeed oin the official?

[joey561]

OOOO, so the games come as eboot.pbp?

Wonder if there is any chance of using our own eventually?

Anyone tried decrypting the .pbp yet?

[the_eternal_dark]

I imagine so, as it is official.

I still hope that PS1P blows this one out eventually though...

[jondoe696911]

what a sorry time for dark alex to leave the scene. hmmm wonder what i have to do to get my hands on one of these eboots.

Personally, I think he'll return eventually. He just needs a break from a**holes.

As for the "eboots", you can't use them as they are tied to the individual PSP they are loaded to (by MAC address I think). We just need some mad talented person to come by and tear apart each file in the firmware and extract the emulator, then give that info to AC for his emu.

[x-zero]

OMG Syphon Filter i really would like to play that game on my 1.50 psp.:D

[kcc86]

that's pretty GAYY how we need a ps3 to emulate ps1 games on our psp. I would have been all over coolboarders.

[John Vattic]

sony lied to us! we shouldn't need a ps3 to get these games!

i'm not payin 600+ for a ps1 game. F*** that S***

[Sharkey]

Pretty soon you will be able to download games to your psp, don't worry. They just don't have it ready yet.

What format is the file? Any way to convert our psone discs to work in the same format, just throwing it out there. There has to be a way, I don't want to rebuy the games I already have. edit: eboot, ok then. Maybe even somehow strip just the emulator and port it to a 1.5. Ah, something.

Also, will 3.0 be good enough? I updated one of my psps to 3.0 and not an hour later they had already released a 3.01. Id rather not update again.

[jerrt]

there is a complaint about the speed in the original post. are you sure the psp is usb 2? when i connect it to my computer it runs very slow when doing a large usb transfer. i've got a memorystick reader that is usb 2 and it runs much faster.

[Sharkey]

I dont think its just the transfer. It sounds like it is installing the game on the psp, like games for the pc. That would explain it taking longer than normal I guess.

Edit: This is interesting...


Once downloaded, each game can be copied for use on up to five different PSP systems before it locks itself.

[AOMrep]

Well I read that the transfer would take like 10 to 20 min. I'm downloading Crash Bandicoot and the Download took around 20 min. but the installation is taking like an hour if not longer.

[x-zero]

You know jerrt i have the same problem too dont know why.:confused:

[BiohazardEXTREME]

Well yeah... Generally if you buy a PS3, you do it for the PS3 games, not the PS1 titles for the PSP.

[slayer2psp]

i have a ps3 but im not updateing to 3.01 to play psone games i did download hot shots golf 2 tried to run it with devhook 51 starts but then shuts off. it took less then 5 min for it to install on my msd but hot shots is only 153 mb

[Ichijoe]

The why not use Devhook 0.51 w/v3.01?!
Unlike v0.50, it would appear that all the Bugs' got 'quashed in this version, at least the Web Browser is working! ~I can't comment on the Overclock, as I do not wish to use it.~

Of course Devhook wont help you if you have a TA-082 \ TA-086 w/FW2.80 or higher...

[labowl]

Has anyone tried playing about with the eboot yet with psp brew. You never know a bit of trial and error by deleting things might get this working on other psp's. Can anyone upload the games to a site.

[conb123]

If we could extract the system.dreg and system.ireg folders from 3.00/3.01 could we maybe hex edit them to confuse the installer to not install with the security thing on it :confused: ???

[Tonx_9]

2 things.. 1 im really pissed off about the eboot's just playing on one psp cause i like maby many users here dont have a fast connection speed it takes me about 4 to 5 minutes to download a megabyte, if u could pay for the liscences and grab a copy of the eboot off a friend that would be tops.. and the other thing can these games be played with devhook........if so awsome.

[Prodigy_of_Pinhead]

I hope so. Although my card is a 32MB.

Even though this thing does multimedia, I'm gonna buy the GP2X for that AND homebrew.

But I might get a bigger card for things like demos and PS1 games (once I get the PS3).

[Ramza042]

Technically speaking, this "emulator" isn't an emulator at all. An emulator actually has an executable file that you run, then load an image of your game. I know everyone here knows exactly what I'm saying but it still needs to be said. The PS1 game downloads are simply ports of the originals for the psp, not emulators/roms. That's why it is so hard to actually code a ps1 emulator comparable to this. Sony has $Millions and they can easily hire pros to port the games over, a simple task with sdk's and such.

Just my $.02

[gdf]

what type of files are the games then? hmmm...

[carlitx]

this seems pretty cool but id say once some1 gets it on there psp theyll find a way to upload it onto the wweb for ppl to dl and hack eheheh than once some one like the person who made ps1p will find a way to bring ps1p up to good standards

[Ramza042]

From my understanding of what I've read, they are .pbp files (same as game demos), downloadable ports of the original ps1 games. They aren't .iso's of the original cds, meant to be played on an emulator... they are PSP executables files.

Take for instance, I have an original PS1, (when I say original, I mean the OLD one with the RCA jacks on the back) and I have Final Fantasy VII for it. I also have a low end Pentium4 pc, and I also have FFVII for the pc as well. That doesn't make the PC version an emulator, it's a port, released specifically for the pc.

I do, however, have ePSXe, (the best free PS1 emulator out there) which plays my Playstation version of FFVII perfectly.

Of the 2 options, I prefer to play the pc port over the emulator. Why, you ask? Simple. It WORKS better. Official ports from the company that makes the game ALWAYS (well, ok, maybe not always, but hypotheticaly) work better than any emulator.

[luxoflux]

But to actually have to own a ps3 to get this working is horrible.

[IHadToReRegisterwtf]

Whats the point of even playing final fantasy vii on the psp if the psp's batteries only last like 3 hours? Final fantasy vii is like a 70 hours + game unless you rush through it. Then its like 30 hours. Either way, what the ****? Or will final fantasy vii magically not suck all the battery life out of the psp?

Hmm... The second comment of this negative nature Ive read from you :mad:

For a start virtually any game on the PSP cannot be completed in a single charge (ever heard of GAME SAVES?) and how many of us really have 30+ hours to spare in a single sitting :confused:

Once again you posting a comment seems a little pointless :rolleyes:

[Tinnus]

The Sony PS1 games are not ports, but are not flexible emulators either.

The emulator uses static recompilation. That is, it translates the PS1 executable file to PSP code AT DESIGN TIME, NOT EXECUTE TIME. That is, the translation process is done AT SONY HQ's. Which means it's IMPOSSIBLE to just stick another game in there.

Basically it's running PS1 code pre-translated to PSP code, and emulating the rest of the hardware (sound, video, etc) while fetching data from something that's probably the CD image packed in there somewhere.

[IHadToReRegisterwtf]

:confused:

[Tinnus]

Quite annoying. Will someone take care of that? :rolleyes:

Maybe masturbating more would solve your attention problem, though :)

[dejkirkby]

Tinnus, 3 things in life are certain. death, taxes and idiots will infect the internet.

[Ramza042]

i masturbate 1 time in my life



The sad part is, this is the most intelligent and coherent thing that he has ever said. However, I think he forgot a couple "1"s. :p
