I understand. I use a 4gb Sandisk stick.

I tried using other games to confirm there wasn't an issue. All of the games I've tried will boot without popsloader, some of them just won't do much from then on (Vagrant Story hangs on the first load screen.)

I noticed 3 different options in PSAR depending on which key you pressed, could using the wrong option have dumped unusable prx files?

Yes, popsloader only works with decrypted modules. You have to press square.

If you try redumping the files again make sure to delete the F0 folder on your memory stick, since I don't think PSARDumper will overwrite the old files.

Hey, well I've already gotten PopsLoader on my 3.90M33-2 PHAT PSP and it's running great =), I'd just like to know for my friends sake, if this works on the Slim(PSP-2000). Because she kind of wants Crash Bandicoot and I don't want to bust up her PSP ^-^;; So is it safe to install Popsloader?

Thanks,
Jon

I feel silly. I was pressing cross in PSAR, everything works fine now. Thanks for the help x3sphere.

how do you tell what pops you neeed for the game you wanna play or is it just some random guess and check

Most games will work fine without popsloader... however, if you find a game that doesn't work then yeah you will just have to try random pops.

The EBOOT.PBP isn't in the correct location then or it is not named correctly. Make sure you aren't placing it in MP_ROOT... it should go directly on the memory stick drive, not in any folders.

Well i know this isn't exactly the right place to post this but I was wondering how do we play PSP games that we download (I already own the UMD...just to much to carry)? I am running 3.90 M33

Great guide!! Thank you so much :)

One quick question though:

I've followed through all the steps, but I still haven't placed a psx game onto the memory stick yet.
However, before I do so, I noticed that when I'm browsing through the XMB, I notice in the game folder, there's the NEW PSR DUMPER. Just randomly sitting there, no specific icon. I've finished using it, since I already completed all the steps and finished enabling popsloader.

Should I just leave the folder there or can I delete it now?
