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

[SketchPCIS]

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

The dimensions are listed on the Front page post, but here is the info again for anyone too lazy to look :P

* ICON0.PNG 144 x 80 pixels 12k Selection icon (To further detail, this is the Icon that will show as the Save Game when using the PSP built-in memory manager, and what will be shown as the selectible menu when you look at the games on your Memory Card.)

* PIC0.PNG 310 x 180 pixels 4k Blurb (This is usually what gives a little detail about the game, right over the background, but I've been having difficulty making it look nice, AND give some information, so I've taken to simply putting everything on the PIC1.png)

* PIC1.PNG 480 x 272 pixels Background (What you see as a new background when you select the item from the menu.)

Now...if only I could get it to be more than 4k for the PIC0.png, I'd be sitting pretty :P

HELP! i upgraded to 3.02 OE-A from 2.71 SE-C, but now it wont let me run anything! when i try to run homebrew, backup isos and even UMDs, the psp just turns off.

Also, when i try to check system settings, i get an error and a blue screen says system settings corrupt, press circle to restore default settings. but it wont do anything when pressed.

Can anyone help me? I wanna upgrade to OE-B! Im usually really good at these things, this is the first time ive had a real problem.

Thanks guys and sorry for the lame post

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

Haha, good point.. I was originally confused whether or not the cd image should be in the popstation dir, and I misinterpreted driver.bin as you saying you should run popstation on the cygwin dll instead of the game.

So I retract that suggestion =)


One question I have now is, is it actually risky to upgrade a 1.50 PSP to OE-B? If it can be downgraded back to 1.50 later, why is OE-B risky to some people?
I got a 1.50 over a year ago, put Squarez on it, played that, and paid no attention to the PSP scene afterwards.. So maybe I'm missing something?

Can someone help me please. I've been at this for a couple hours, the install and everything went perfect but I am having trouble getting Hot Shots Golf to play, or any other game I have.

What folder to the games go in? I thought it was Game302, is that correct? Also, the only thing that needs to be in the folder is the eboot and key file right?

I have a good copy of Hot shots that should work. I am getting an error "80010002" though, right atfer the first screen comes up it exits me back to the xmb. How would I fix the licence issue if thats the problem? None of the PS3 store games work, neither do the ones I made.

Can someone help me figure out why my games don't work, I would hate to think I did all this for nothing, I made it this far. Thanks in advance.

Thank god. I just put it in the wrong folder, it goes in the "GAME" folder. It's working, I'm good to go.

Sharkey, put it in GAME. Make sure you have enabled 1.50 kernel in Recovery (uses GAME for 1.50 eboots; worked fine with RE2 when I tried it last night, when it worked that is...)


I am having a problem to which I have yet to see any answer for anywhere on this site. Last night I ripped, popstationed and installed RE2 to my memory stick. Played it and it worked fine.

Today, I ripped MGS, did the same thing, go to try it, get CA000005 error. Go to play RE2, same $#@!. What the hell is a CA000005 error? And secondly, how do I go about fixing it?

As well, how many people who have the emulator working perfectly, used a title from the PS Store that they purchased and installed properly to the PSP from their PS3?

---ADDED----

Holy $#@! I am a god damn moron... Been forgetting to copy Keys.bin to the directory on the memstick... Wow I feel stupid...
