Thanks for the guide. Very helpful!

so i followed this guide and i get a bland screen everytime i try to run FFVII. I do get the sony emulator menu though (when i press home button) but nothing on screen. Is there something wrong with my rip ? Because i'm sure it works perfectly on my PSX emu on my PC.

Cheers

If its PAL then you will have troubles. It's ironic: I wrote this entire guide yet haven't successfully ran a single PSOne game myself! :P

Hey Synthes this tutorial really helped, Dino Crisis 2 here I come!!!!!!!

I am not yet on 3.02 OE-B. Would it be worth updating to this firmware if I can't find a way to download Hot Shots Golf 2? Would a rip of the game work? I do own a legal version of it that I bought at (sigh) Wal-Mart and I have already ripped it to my computer. Any clues as to what I can do?

People are reporting you can use other games downloaded from the Playstation Store, but no, you won't be able to use a rip from the disc I'm afraid.

EDIT: To answer the question, its still worth updating, as mentioned in the FAQ

how long does the updatemaker need to create the dxar file ?? im waiting like 10 min and nothing happens ??

Must be a bad rip then, or just not compatible. Try a different file extension on your next rip

Didn't take that long for me, I'm guessing 10 minutes is a reasonable time. Just leave it for a while and see what happens.

Yes, yes, yes!! Custom Firmware 3.02 is earth shattering. Install this custom firmware asap. Like the other guy said, you can play ISOS without Dev Hook(I still use dh 1.35 mod to launch ISOS from my hard drive)play almost every PSX game ever made and launch homebrew. What else do want it to do make you breakfast?, I command you to install in now!!!!!!!!
