DCEmu official guide - how to install 3.02 OE-A, then to OE-B, to run PSOne Games

[Pomp]

can someone help me out? I have placed my resident evil.bin file in the popstation folder and ran cmd . But im getting an error saying -

invalid number of arguements
Usage : popstation file . iso

What does this mean? This is occuring during step 6

Knowing how to use a CLI would be helpful. An 'argument' is something after the command. In this case, typing "popstation resident evil.bin" means you have two arguments, 'resident' and 'evil.bin', which is one too many. Either rename the file so that there is no space, or use quotes to show the shell that you are passing one argument, not two.

theres more than one SCUS94476 in the PBP, replace them all with your new number in the HEX Editor?

No.

There is only one instance of "SCUS94476" in the image. So not sure what your seeing there.

I do see there is another set of numbers "94476" together, but they are preceded by the letters "UP9000-NPUI", which is not a PSX disc ID number.

Only change the numbers to the one that is the disc ID.

I've got a pretty important question (Well, to me anyway :P)...

I'm working on my backups I have of all my PSX games, and making custom Icons (So far the ones released up till now look kinda...meh to me) and I was wondering if there was -any- way to make the images larger that 12k for ICON0.png and 4k for PIC0.png.

If not, then I guess it's no huge deal...Icould always make the info screen popup an empty, transparent png, and put the text directly onto PIC1.png, but I rather like it looking a little more professional than that.

I ask mostly because once I'm done (I have over 204 games I'm making Icon sets for) I want to release them for people to use if they want.

Yes, other games from the store have been reported to be working

Items 2 and 6 in this list need a little clarification.
2) The image file should be in your popstation directory with the cygwin1.dll, base.pbp, etc.

6) The syntax is "popstation <image_file>" e.g. "popstation castlevania.iso" as in the readme. Your example in the cmd.exe image (you named your image file driver.bin?!) is confusing.

Otherwise, great info! Much clearer and than most tutorials of this kind.

Number two I'll fix, but whats wrong with 6? Driver is a game from the Playstation and it was a .BIN file

Ok, I have an original 1.5 and a Current-Gen retail 2.81 unit. First, how do I tell if I can do this without bricking it? Second, can I do this on the 2.81, or do I need to try the 1.5?

Thanks in advance.

Your original 1.50 is suitable for this, providing you want to give up a RETAIL 1.50!

i have 0% success with this and im usually good with these things

ultraISO isnt workin 4 me either

this is dissapointing ...i tried again with Ultra ISO and this time I got some results, however the game(FFVII NTSC) didn't run. I just saw the PSX logo and then it just stuck there

It is very hit and miss, keep trying. Use different formats each time and basically, just keep trying it.

NTSC games have much more success rate than PAL, so use those. BIN also seems more stable than ISO, but IMG is better for NTSC > PAL conversion.

It is confusing, keep trying and trying!

Thanks also Synthesis for the great guide.

Another problem which occurs and should be noted is that when typing the rip filetype (iso, bin, img) it should b in CAPITAL LETTERS ( I.E driver.BIN ) - I think I had problems when using small letters. A simple enough mistake to make.

Yea, cant get over how great this is.

Hi StetchPCIS, I'm trying to alt the ICON on my game as well (FF9 and Breath of Fire 4). Can you give me any detail on how to change the ICON as well as the dimention of the ICON0.png and PIC0.png. Many thanks
