Vagrant Story compatibility?

I can't find anything on the net that says that Vagrant Story is incompatible, but I'm having a hard time getting it to work. I ripped the ISO myself with IsoBuster and converted the eboot with PSX2PSP. When I load it, the words "now loading" appear on an otherwise black screen and never go away.

I'm using 3.4OE-A. I've also tried using 3.11 and 3.10 pops (with these, the game just freezes, sometimes without even leaving the screen where I select the pops version). Is this one of those games (like Suikoden 2) that needs an earlier version to work properly?
 
Are you using PAL or NTSC? Because I HAD a downloaded PAL one, and it didn't work right, but I bought the NTSC one a little while back from a friend and ripped it and it works perfectly.
 
I'm using the NTSC one, and I ripped the disc myself, so if there's a problem with the ISO (which I doubt, since I tried twice with a program that has never failed me before), it's not the result of a download.
 
Maybe it's the POPs version, cuz I played it when I was usin' 3.03OE-C... I'm usin 3.30OE-A, I'll convert and try it here in a bit and tell ya if I have a problem.
 
Hmm. Game works well here on 3.40 OE-A. Have you tried disabling all plugins?
 
very weird...i have a thread for POPS compatibilty and vagrant story is on it as working.i should know too since i was the one who tested it and added it.i used PSX2PSP to convert it so i guess its a bad ISO rip from IsoBuster. i ripped mine from a mate who's big into import stuff and had a NTSC copy. i havent tried it since UG'ing to v3.40 OE though so i'll try it later to see how it goes.and for a reference,my EBOOT of Vagrant Story was only like 100 MB when converted.
 
Well , I ripped my friends disc and it works for me :/ quite fun I might add.. like the battle system
 
i'd ripped the disc too but i'd used image burner (i forgot from where to download) to make the ISO then i used PSX2PSP to convert da game and da game work perfectly in my PSP 3.40 OE. i'd used CWCHEAT too in da game and got no problem at all. keep a try guys.
 
Hey, I had this problem.... ANd I solved it. Basically when I ripped the iso file off of my ps1 vagrant story game, and went through the procedure of putting it on the psp in eboot format, it did exactly the same thing, stopped on the loading screen. What you need to do is get a patch from here:
http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_patches_v.shtml
And the software to apply the patch:
http://halo2.filefront.com/file/PPFOMatic;24225x#Download
And apply the patch to your iso or ntsc.
The reason for doing this is that on some iso's there is copyright protection and by applying the patch you by-pass it.
Btw make sure you get the right patch for your version of vagrant story, and I learnt all this by reading up on ff8 here:
http://www.gamerspress.com/index.php?title=PSX_on_PSP_Compatibility_List
Since I fixed my ff8 problem by doing this I thought it might fix this problem, and it did!
