[TUTORIAL] How to play PS1 games on 3.71 M33-2

[dwalk51]

UPDATE2: BEFORE PM-ING ME FOR ANYTHING, PLEAZE DOWNLOAD THE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FILE AT THE BOTTOM FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE 1: I WILL NOT BE PROVIDING THE PSX GAME FILES BECAUSE THAT IS ILLEGAL. IF YOU ASK FOR THEM I WILL LABEL YOU AN IDIOT.
NOTE 2:I RECENTLY CHECKED, AND THIS TUT STILL WORKS FOR M33 3.90-2 SO I'M GUESSING THAT IT WILL WORK FOR EVERYTHING INBETWEEN M33 3.71-3 AND 3.90-2
UPDATE------------>NOTE 3: I can't post the links to PSX games on the thread here, but if you PM me I will send you a good link that I use often to download the PSX games that I OWN
Before you start, make sure to download these files:

icetea1.3


This GUI by danny_kay1710


PART 1:

• Unzip/rar the two files and place them somewhere you won't forget. Also make sure NOT to move any of the files out of them.

• Run Ice Tea program and choose your ISO to convert.
  
  • To save some major space, set the compression to "Best Compression", as it will dramatically reduce the size of the output EBOOT without sacrificing quality or playability IN THE LEAST. Make sure the "Game Title" is filled out for how you want the game to be named when you see it in your PSP. It doesn't have to be anything special, but you wouldn't want to label Final Fantasy VII as Barbey's Princess Pony Ride.

• For more experienced users you can set it to expert mode to see more options for custom icons and what-not.

• Wait for the program to finish and then you will be given an output folder titled as whatever you choose your game to be called.

PART 2:

• Open the popstation GUI's folder you just downloaded (by default it will download as "11982_popstationguiv1")

• Go to the "files" folder

• take the keys.bin file and place it in the output folder with your games EBOOT file created at the end of part 1.

PART 3:

• Plug in your PSP and go to USB mode.

• Now take the folder with your game's EBOOT and the keys.bin file and place it in
  X:\PSP\GAME (where X is your PSP's letter, for me it is E)

4th and Final part

• press O to go back to the XMB (psp media bar used to launch UMD's, Pictures, Videos etc...)

• Go over to the game section, and then scroll down to the "Memory Stick" section.

• Open it and you should see your game labeled as whatever you choose in part 1.

ENJOY!!!
This is mainly meant for the oodles of noobs who want PS1 games on their PSP. Seeing how I am noobish, I can sympathize with them and so this is for them.

This was my first time EVER writing a tutorial for anything, so feedback would be great. Please do tell whether or not this worked for you or if you have and problems or find any typos. Thank You!

For all the times that this has been viewed, does nobody find it useful/not-useful?
Please, I want feedback as to my instruction writing ability.
Thank You

looks good but the program itself is already very self explanatory :P,

I found this very useful, as I am new to all of this psp modding stuff. Only been at it for 4 days now. I can't get this to work with 3.71 m33-3 . I need help, maybe I don't have popstation (currently disabled) set up correctly? any suggestions?

I'll see if I can help, but where exactly are you having trouble? Is everything fine up until you try to play it on your PSP?

I'm not really sure about this, so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm on 3.71 M33-3, and I got Parasite Eve 2 working on my cfw, which as far as I've read only worked on 3.40 oe, but the seriously weird thing is that I don't have my keys.bin file in the same folder as my eboot. I'm not sure how this affects it cause when I put the keys.bin file back in the folder nothing happened. But until I took it out it wouldn't work. (Atleast I think that as what solved it)

I haven't tried this with other games yet, but I was wondering if anyone else knows about this or has experienced it. (Or would mind testing it out)

Oh and I used popstation and 3.10 pops that I used a hex editor on.

To Darksurf: It might be that you don't have the right pops set up on you psp. Did you do the set up for popsloader that came with 3.71 m33? And you might consider looking into what pops and/or cfw # the game has worked on before.

This was very helpful, indeed. Thank you!

i am not sure why... but this tutorial has not helped me to get Final Fantasy VIII working.

I got the original CDs into my disk drive and tried to rip the image using the program suggested... I followed all the steps... However, all that i ultimately got was a black screen. (Please note that this is my first time trying to get a ps1 game working... my psp lite has just been modded and i haven't tried to put any program on it yet)

Please help!

PSP Version: 3.71 m33-2
Game: Final Fantasy 8
KEYs.BIN FILE: the one from popstation, as suggested by the thread maker.

It froze on ps load screen, isn't chrono trigger compatible or did I do something wrong?

*I'm doing something wrong, can't pass the logo, am i creating the isos the wrong way?

*Created the iso with clone cd and it worked out, thanks
