Note that unless you ordered a PSP that has custom firmware pre-installed, or the PSP comes with 3.03 firmware or below (and you know how to downgrade and install custom firmware), you won't be able to test (or play) any PS1 games other than those purchased from the PS3 store.

Just thought I should warn you about that in case you were unaware. A suprisingly large number of people are. o.O
 
potential solid find...

In the process of coverting my original Metal Gear Solid to EBoot.

fingers crossed!! :o it would be a gem of a game to play on the go
 
maybe i should have figured this out first...

Hey all,

Here is a question I probably should have asked prior to converting my old PS1 games into EBOOTS...

I am running 3.10 OE, how do I actually run the PSX games on the FW. Do I just put the EBOOTS into x:PSP/GAME folder, and boot like an ISO? or is there a different process.

Thanks

Games I've tested with 3.02/3.03/3.10 OE:

[ Alien Trilogy ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ D ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Darkstalkers ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Destruction Derby 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Doom ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops with CDDA. No CDDA hangs at loading screen.
[ Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Final Doom ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops with CDDA. No CDDA hangs at loading screen.
[ Gex 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Jumping Flash! 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Kileak ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Kingsfield 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Kingsfield 2 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Lemmings 3D ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Loaded ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops with CDDA. No CDDA hangs.
[ Macross VFX2 ] NTSC-Jap Works fine with all pops.
[ Powerslave ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Primal Rage ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Rayman 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops with CDDA. No CDDA hangs.
[ Ridge Racer 1 ] NTSC-Jap Works fine with all pops. Needs CDDA for BGM.
[ Ten Pin Alley ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Tomb Raider 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops with CDDA. No CDDA hangs when starting level.
[ Tomba! 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with 3.10+ pops. Hangs in cut-scense for earlier pops.
[ Twisted Metal 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops. Needs CDDA for BGM.
[ Twisted Metal 2 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops. Needs CDDA for BGM.
[ Warhawk ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Wild9 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.
[ Wipeout 1 ] NTSC-US Works fine with all pops.

I may have missed one or two in there that need CDDA... generally speaking, if a game has CD audio tracks, it will likely hang if you don't make the EBOOT with CDDA. Some will work without the CD audio tracks, you just don't get BGM. Ripping as ISO, then converting is the leading cause of losing CDDA. Always rip as raw/game disc, then convert.

You're welcome. I don't know why others haven't contributed. I know I've seen many posts about games that aren't on the list. I only included games I converted and ran personally that weren't already on your list (had a bunch of others already there).

An example of what I've seen - the NTSC-US version of Ridge Racer 1 doesn't work as a straight rip - you have to rip the files off the ISO, add a big dummy file, then reconstruct the disc image. At least, that was the way it was for 3.02/3.03. I haven't seen any posts about it and 3.10. I don't have the US version, just the Japanese version (got it and Japanese PSX on release day from a distributor we worked with in Japan as a bonus to a project we did for them). So I can state that the Japanese version works great, but I don't have first hand info on the US version - only what I've read.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, another game I tried... [ Road Rash ] NTSC-US Works fine on all pops.
 
[ Final Fantasy 9 ] NTSC - works (tested with 3.11 pops)
 
With the the 3.30 decrypter out now, anyone try 3.30 POPS? It should theoretically be possible. I don't know if Popsloader will notice it, even though it says "and future pops" in the readme. But you can still take the 3.30 pops files and flash those into 3.10 OE-A. (BACK-UP FIRST!) Doing so will either work, or break Pops. If it breaks Pops, just place the original 3.10 or 3.11 Pops back in.

I'd do it right now, but I'm currently at my college campus. While I have my PSP, laptop, and USB cable with me, all my Pops are currently on an external hard drive at home. If it works, It'd be an awesome customization to 3.10 OE-A until 3.30 OE-A is out, since you can place the 3.10 pops on the memorystick for popsloader. Thus having options to load pops for 3.00, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.10, 3.11, and Original from Flash (3.30!)

EDIT: Nope. replacing with 3.30 makes it crash when loading POPS.
 
Xenogears - works on 3.10 OE

have not gotten to the switch disc thing though, so that could provide a problem
 
Beyblade-Works Great
Crash bash-loads but crashes when try playing
Theme hospita- Works Greart

POPS is the part of the firmware that emulates PS1 games. In essence it's an official PS1 emulator for the PSP from Sony itself. Without it, you cannot run the converted POPS eboots. And without OE custom firmware, you can only run PS1 games that you have puchased from the PS3 store, even if you own the original PS1 disc(s).
 
But my ps1 games run fine on my custom firmware and all i do is converter it to a iso then turn it to an eboot. I have never installed anything called pops on my psp. is it already built in to the custom fireware

yes,it's built in...it's a feature that was added in the 3.00 firmware along with the release of the ps3 i think
 
Metal Gear Solid - works on 3.10 OE

havent reached second disc here yet


Question about saves: I have heard a lot about disc one saves not being recogonized by the 2nd dics eboot.

Is there a way to counter this?? It would be a big help becuase I am reaching 2nd disc points on both Xenogears and the above mentioned Metal Gear.

just gotta make sure the Game ID of the second disc is the same as the one you used in the first. PSX2PSP lets you edit this when converting a game.

Thanks x3sphere, well then i should have no problems when i reach the second discs of those two.

I will confirm that though when i get there, should be soon as I am having a hard time putting my psp down :-D
 
Metal Gear Solid - works on 3.10OE both discs

save game just prior to switch disc (just after killing sniper wolf) and will load on the new disc


switch controllers when facing psycho mantis, by pushing home button and switiching the controller ports


EDIT: May need to use CWCHEAT for disk change , link to how here: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/post387-140947.html
