-or you can do that with notepad method
-and run command in cmd window (it's the black window after typing cmd.exe) popstation image.iso
-after dumping your eboot to popstation,create folder in GAME on your psp with the name of your game you dumped.
-then move eboot from popstation to the folder you created on psp,move keys.bin file there aswell
-don't forget to update your 3.02 oea to oeb

I tried all this, but its output said: "Can't open image.iso"

anyone tried digimon world 1 haha

For the multi disk questions, in FF7, your save is in the XMB menu. Before the game switches to the next disc, you'll be asked to save, do so. Turn off the psp, copy over disc 2, reload your game and it should be fine. I remember having to do this since I had a backup and was using a Gold Finger to play it and this method worked fine.

For those having those Black screen errors, extract your games in Bin format and not ISO. I found that fixed all my problems. Before spending time on transfering the game to your psp, try out a psx emulator such as ePsxe on your computer and load up the ISO. If you get a black screen, you know you have a bad dump.

Has anyone confirmed PSP CAMERA to be working with this? I'd like to know before I go updating. Otherwise I think I'm in.

I have been using cdrwin and making bin+cue files.
The ICON0.PNG and PIC1.PNG files are easy to make.
PIC0.PNG is a pain... anyway to disable this?

My Results so far:

WipeOut - Game Crashes - IntroVideo Ok
WipeOutXL - Game Crashes - IntroVideo Ok
SoulBlade - Game Play is Smooth but Slower than it should be - IntroVideo Ok
ResidentEvil - Game Plays Ok - IntroVideo Ok
Expendable - Game Plays Ok - IntroVideo Ok
Einhander - Game Plays Ok - IntroVideo Ok
TempestX - Game Plays Ok - IntroVideo Ok
TombRaider - Game Crashes - IntroVideo Ok
RaidenProject - Game Plays Ok - IntroVideo Ok

Torrents are flying! 5 mins to go. THPS2 on standby.

For any 1.5 user, I too was a bit, 'don't really know' but trust me, this is so much better in so many way. Even without this psx support it is still better. A 1.5 psp with the brains of a 3.02. Have a dabble on gpsp then go back and load up GTAVCS. Takes no more than 2 mins to upgrade to A, and about 5 seconds to B.

My results

- PAL Crash Bandicoot - All Fine, Full Speed, Screen Misplaced

- PAL Tomb Raider 3 - Works, Full Speed, Some graphical glitches, misplaced screen

- PAL Tekken 3 - Works, Full Speed, Minor Graphical Glitches, Misplaced Screen

Come on DAX, help out us Europeans! :)

You need to read all threads

So no need for AC's psx emu now :).

ill take that as a no :(

Does anyone know what to do if the command prompt outputs "Cannot open image.iso"?

Threw together a frontend for the converter in about 15 minutes (hate command line apps).

Simple, no readme, includes the popstation app/cygwin dll (keep them in the "hook" folder).

Requires .NET Framework 2.0.

So how do you use it?

This is awesome news, still not enough for me to upgrade my 1.5, I probably never will because it's setup perfect. But this makes me wish I hadn't upgraded my other one to 3.03. Ah well, maybe next version. Good job Alex.

Open it, browse for an iso, click convert. :P

So would it be possible to make eboots like this that include an emulator for SNES roms and other systems? This way, we could sort it into different folders and then just launch any game from the XMB. I think that would be a sweet idea but I guess it would just be up to the coder of the emulator or if someone else wants to compile the emulator so it could be run for one game from the XMB just like it would appear on the normal system rather than going to a menu first.

Finally Got My FF7 problem fixed. Turns out all i needed to do was to name the folder of the game on my memory stick - e.g. folder name "Final Fantasy VII"

I've tried ff7 pal in .bin and .iso format, ff tactics(ntsc or pal) and legend of dragoon(ntsc) and they wont work at all they just give me the text screen when you boot it up and it then crashes... do you need to put the DOCUMENT file into the folder also for it to work or what is the problem?

Thank you Dark_AleX and God bless.

The Only files i have is the eboot and the key file. The folder is called final fantasy VII and i have put that folder into the "GAME" Folder of the memory stick. Should work

I know this will sound "noobish" but, how do yew back up PSX games to .bin's? I can only back up to .iso at the moment and i need .bin for PAL To NTSC.
Thanks

dDO you have the pal or ntsc version? and did you extract the eboot from a .bin or .iso file?

Final fantasy VII NTSC CD 1 works just fine, but i wonder, due to fact that the game has 3 cds and you have to put them all on diferent folders like if they were diferents games, will the savefile of the first cd work with cd 2?
or maybe the emu will see them as diferent savefiles for diferents games?

Ok, tried it with no luck. Tried 2 games. THPS2 and Tomba 2, both usa versions. Used this FE and it just flashes the black screen for half a second then nothing.

I have that frame work thing installed.

Any advice?

Use CDRWIN to backup the game to the .bin and .cue files

Mine are .img files. Would that make a difference?

The FE still picks them up when I browse for them, just tried 5 more with same results :(

Is ff8 really freezing when summoning dark mist? I hope FF7 isnt!

Thanks, backing up MGS now

to the people above... read the god damn readme. it clearly states that *.iso is the preferred file to convert. yes it makes a difference.

somthing of interest from the popstation readme

Q: My game generated is a lot higher in size than the same one from ps3store...
A: They use compression. Because the algorithm of compression is not still reversed, compressed
isos are not supported yet.

---

In other words sony's compression method could eventually be used for other emulators. just a thought from someone who actually reads the god damned readmes.. you know they put them there for a reason.

Somewhere in the first or second page, someone said that you can't brick the PSP... But on the first post it says that there's a possibility that you can...... O.O I'm so F%^ing scared of bricking my PSP... ... ...
