You say you downloaded this... well, that's a no-no right there, but I will say this in general - many games hang if you don't have the CDDA tracks (DOOM, RR, TR, etc). Most rips on the net don't include the CDDA as that takes too much space. Hence, many downloaded rips won't work with popstation. You need to be dumping your own discs, not just because of the law, but so that you can get those darn CDDA tracks!

Thanks. I would like to get my own disc since it is cheap, and i have played the game before so its really worth getting. But PS1 games are pretty rare for me right now. Anyway Thanks for your help.

Popsloader is a .prx utlity used to emulate the Psone in previous firmware versions of the emulator.The most current version of popsloader is here at this site..search..ya never know what you may find.

Not quite. Popsloader lets you load the popstation libraries from other versions of the firmware than the one you have. It does no emulating itself. So if you have 3.90 M33-3 and need to use the pops libs from 3.03 OE for a particular game, popsloader will let you load the pops libs from 3.03 OE.
