after running into some problems playing PlayStation games on the PSP,i think it would be a good idea to have a compatibilty list.so put up games you have played and know to work or not work,what region they are and if they don't work,say what's wrong.

Perhaps there is a new issue with 3.10 ??

Asteroids: NTSC= Runs perfectly.

Gran Turismo: NTSC= Runs perfectly.
Gran Turismo 2 "Simulation Mode" (Disc 2): NTSC= Runs perfectly.
Jet Moto 3: NTSC= Rnns Perfectly.

Monster Rancher, Perfect.
Diablo, Perfect.

Castlevania SOTN, Some reason only on my psp, when ever you transform into the dog and run, screen behind you goes black. Also the outer wall, when you teleport there, as you exit the door to outer wall if you jump it freezes...odd part...only on me psp ...hmm :(
 
Breath of Fire IV - NTSC: Works, but has a little slow down in areas with many animations.
Tactics Ogre - NTSC: Works Perfectly.
 
updated the list with new entries.need more to add so keep posting up games you tested :D
 
Haha, I see what you did. :D

Admin/Mod, perhaps could you make this thread a sticky?
 
i've tried two games so far

both VAGRANT STORY and PUZZLE FIGHTER works fine!
 
woohoo,threads been stickied :D
thanks ^_^

still need more games though so hope people can post up games they're playing :)
 
This list we have is slowly becoming bigger and bigger. :D:D
 
First post!

[ Threads of Fate ] NTSC - Works perfectly!
[ Star Ocean: The Second Story] NTSC - Works, but with some minor graphical errors. I've read elsewhere (don't remember where) that it is confirmed to work all the way to the end of the first disc. Been a while since I played it. If it's one of those games that goes to the 'insert disc' screen without letting you save first, that's where it's no longer compatible.

I'd try out more out of my plethora of PS1 games (mostly RPGS), but that would take time, which I don't have due to college. Though spring break is next week. I might transfer the entire contents of my 4GB MemoryStick to my hard drive, wipe, then use the entire 4 GB to go on a POPs testing spree. :D

haha,sounds like a fun spring break.anyways,thanks for the games and welcome to the boards
 
New games added in my previous post...
 
more games added

mostly been playing Megaman X4 lately.....love going about as Zero with the sword :D
 
It has occurred to me that since we can load any pops from 3.00+ with Popsloader, that if we encounter any problems with running a game on a certain version of POPS, we should say so. As well as which version(s) we got the game to run on.

Technically, you'd think that any game working perfectly on earlier versions of POPS would run just as perfectly on the 3.11 version of POPS. Unfortunately, like any software, this is not always the case. In addition, since the majority of these games are not the official Playstation Store POPS titles, Sony would never notice that by modifying their emulator code, they broke one of the titles that they don't provide. Nor would they, in all likelihood, care.

Well, the most important is the versions of POPS that a game is confirmed to run on with minimal problems. For the record, however, I've tried Star Ocean: The Second Story and Threads of Fate on 3.10 and 3.11 POPS, and I noticed no differences. Makes sense. The only difference between those two versions is a small compatiblity fix for a couple Playstation Store titles. The fewer modifications made, the less chance there is to break something.

I'm in the final dungeon of Legend of Heroes III right now. When I'm done, I'll probably start my POPS experimenting.

EDIT: Apparently, using POPS 3.03 or below does not produce at least the first graphical error I encountered in Star Ocean: The Second Story. (When Claude gets teleported at the beginning of the game, there's some transparency issues in POPS 3.10 and 3.11)

EDIT EDIT:

[ Alundra ] NTSC - Works Under all current POPS versions. Glaring graphical glitch on title screen using POPS 3.10 and 3.11. Also, lots of ghosting occurs due to the PSP's hardware. increasing the Blackness Level to +1 seems to clear it up a bit.

[ Azure Dreams ] NTSC - Works Perfectly Under all current POPS versions.

[ Brigandine ] NTSC - I believe it works. I never did like the game. Confirmed that it DOES make it into the game, however. POPS 3.00-3.03: Intro movie gets garbled when you press start to end it prematurely. All POPS 3.00-3.11: Title screen appears for a second or less, then the intro movie starts back up again. Might want to consider this UNCONFIRMED. I never had a legit copy, and the file I downloaded ages ago to burn the CD from may have been slightly corrupted. (It took Clone CD over an hour to make the image for my POPS test!)

[ Harvest Moon: Back to Nature ] NTSC - Works. All Current POPS versions: Noticable music slowdown during load times between screens. (randomly goes from slow to normal speed during load times.)

[ Megaman Legends ] NTSC - Works Perfectly using any current POPS version! Optional: Use Remapsp under the CWCheat plugin to customize a more comfortable control scheme...

[ Megaman Legends 2 ] NTSC - Works Perfectly using any current POPS versions! Optional: Remapsp for better controls...
