On both my PSPs (fat and slim), I have 5.00 M33 firmware installed. Awesome firmware that it is, I can't boot Resident Evil 3 anymore (it's a PS1 game), but I used to before the update. When I try to boot it up, it says
The game could not be started.
(FFFFFFFF)
Is this a common problem or am I missing something? I have no plugins running.
I gotta beat Nemesis, man! He's taunting me with his one-word vocabulary.
well even if u got it working nemesis has common problems on freezing up if you dont do things a certain way
like for me it froze on me right after u revive jill and cant pass it
Works for me. Make sure you have installed the latest POPSTATION plugin.
Um... I think that's kind of irrelevant since it the problem is that the PS1 game won't boot at all, and it used to work just fine before anyway.Quote:

I'm was having a problem too i couldnt load up ps1 games
but then i reinstalled pops using this pack it contains everything for 5.00
http://rapidshare.com/files/15817157...oader.5.00.rar
and i guess the ps1 games have to be in the Game folder not 5XX folder
and also i set the pops to 3.52 and now i can finally progress on resident evil nemesis pretty cool
I'm having a bit of a problem with POPS myself, and it has nothing to do with POPSLoader.
When I try to boot up a PSX game, the POPS logo comes up, but then the screen just blanks out and in some cases, the PSP shuts down.
I tried using POPSLoader to use an older POPS version, but none seemed to work. I tried the popcorn.prx, but that doesn't seem to do the trick either.
So I figured I'd reinstall the firmware from the ground up. I used a recovery program to back up to 3.71M33. Lo, my PSX games functioned as they should! But when I bumped myself back up to 5.00, they went right back into the crapper again.
After I returned to 5.00, I tried using the PSARDumper to grab the 5.01 pops and popsman prx's and inserting those. No luck.
I know I was able to play these games (Gran Turismo 2 Simulation Disc and Devil Dice) on 4.01 and earlier without a hitch... Is there some simple step that I may have missed or something else I could try? (Currently at CFW 5.00 M33-3 on a PSP Phat)
Hey, I've been trying this. Which PRXs did you load?Quote:

How did it solve your problem??? Which PRXs did you load?
4.01 worked just fine. GT2 DID crash after a race, but I don't know if that ws a fluke or not 'cause I had just gone through the B License trials with no problem.
Something must REALLY be broken with the 5.00 POPS. I DID notice that the OFW 5.01 POPS prx is about twice the filesize as the 5.00 M33 version. Not sure if this is normal or not, but that's kinda odd.
SERIOUSLY, what PRXs are you guys SPECIFICALLY loading???
...
I'm using the batch of files that were inside the POPSLoard RAR file linked to earlier in this thread. I've enabled POPSLoader.prx in Recovery, and then I hold down the R Trigger as the PSX game starts up to bring up the list of POPS versions. In my case, Selecting 4.01 worked just fine.
If you want anything more specific than that, you'll need to be more specific yourself.
yeah just install the whole folder i directed you guys too and keep trying every pops version there is until u get to one that loads up the game you want
hey i have a question i have a psp 5.01 m33-3 the latest xx folder i had was 4.XX just wonderin since im usin the 5.01 m33-3 firmware should i make a 5.XX folder? and what goes in that folder again...thanx
yeah you should but to make things easier you should just save all the contents of you memory card to your computer then format the memory stick so it can set all the folders up for you
after that just place the files back in to the right folders

Here is the default pops.txt:
If I try to load that, it just gives me the same error before (a bunch of Fs).Quote:
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx 1
Now, here is my version of the pops.txt:
If I try that, I just get a black screen and the PSP freezes.Quote:
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader/pops###.prx
Here is another pops.txt I tried:
This gives me the error (800200E5). That's the same pops.txt as above but without the 1 next to popsloader.prx.Quote:
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader/pops###.prx
If I try this:
I get the black screen and it freezes again.Quote:
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader/pops###.prx
### represents the 3 numbers next to the PRXs. I tried a bunch of different PRXs.
So you guys said you loaded some PRXs. Which PRXs did you load??? That was my question. What does your pops.txt look like?
Ah! I understand your confusion now!Quote:

So when you try to run your PSX game, it dumps you back out with an error 0xFFFFFFFF, yes?
EDIT: OK, found some info for ya. It has to do with the popcorn.prx in 5.00 M33 being wonky in some way. It was fixed and a new popcorn.prx was included in the latest M33-4 update, so go ahead and grab that.
You mean the pops.txt should only say:
THAT'S the pops.txt I should be using, right? Just that?Quote:
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx 1
I looked around for popsloader (FFFFFFFF) problems but only found people with the problem, not the solution. I even found this topic right here with google.
Yup. That's it.
And the search that lead me to the answer above ended up being 'PSP POPS 0xFFFFFFFF error'.
Try that pops.txt you've got there and upgrading your PSP's firmware to 5.00 M33-4 and see how it goes. ^^d
... Oh. I, uh... Wasn't at 5.00 M33-4, I just realized. I installed M33-4 and it worked. I didn't need to load popsloader.prx, or any other .prx, either. I just needed to update to 5.00 M33-4.
Thanks, guys! It works great now! Problem solved!
Don't feel TOO bad. M33-4 came out yesterday. :D
Glad to see this resolved!
