[GUIDE] Converting multi-disk PlayStation 1 Games to be used on PSP with PyPOPS

yeah i attempted popsloader earlier (see above post)
it didnt go too well, but alas! tommorow i'll give that guide a try
thanks

EDIT - this is the same guide i was following earlier, this i where it goes wrong - 5. Now, go the "Game" menu on your PSP and run the "PSAR Dumper" and press the "Square" button on your PSP to begin extracting the decrypted firmware files.
i do as it says up to there and it loads javascript and then says i have to be on 2.71 or above or something :S

 

i am 99% sure it will just be POPSLOADER you need to get this working.
You may be better posting the question in the POPSLOADER thread, as i am far from an expert on it.

 

which version of popsloader is best? i'm assuming 3.71?
or the main question, which version does MGS1 definately work with?

 

I've heard that MGS1 works with 3.71,3.80,and some other firmwares.I'm not really sure,but the majority I've heard about is 3.71 because most people use 3.71. no prob ibizagti if anything,I was drawn here because of your easy-to-follow guide.Keep it up. yellams,the same applies to the popsloader version,but this is based on what I know and heard,which is somewhat vague due to me being new to this scene.

 

AHHHH
im having to use the 3.80 popsloader as there isnt a higher and its just not working. i tried re downloading everything again and starting from scratch
but when i run psardumper it loads java script and says "this program requires 2.71 or higher" im on 4.01 :|

 

to any that know i'm trying to follow ibizagti guide to convert multi disk psx games with pypops & imgburn. i'm trying to do metal gear solid I have 2 eboots of the game. to see if i'm doing this right first merge the images of the eboots with imgburn then use pypops to make a combined eboot is that correct? if not what did I do wrong\ not do, etc thx 4 any help!! PS if I have the procedure correct approximately how long should it take to complete the conversion?

 

knfusd:you first use imgburn to get the images of the 2 discs of MGS1.Then,you use pypops to create a combined disc.Before making the combined eboot,make sure each image's name has no spaces. for example,one would normally put Metal Gear Solid,but in this case,you should name it MetalGearSolid,or however you may designate it,as long there is no spaces.In addition,you must get the game code of the game.To do this,download ICETEA and when you run ICETEA,you select the image of the first disc.In this case,after you're done ripping each via imgburn,it would help naming it in a manner that would help distiguish it from the others. i.e MetalGearSolidDisc1.Back to icetea,when you put in the image,on the right side,it should say Game ID.Type that in the window of PyPops where it asks for the code,and just wait for the program to do it's thing.But if anything,look at the 1st page of this thread,as ibizagti explains the steps clearly and thoroughly.also before jumping to making to eboot,look at the section named "UPDATES" in the 1st post as that will help you notice or fix unnoticed errors if they have slipped by.Last but not least,concerning about the time it takes,it's pretty fast,and mind you,my PC dosen't even have a 1ghz processor,so I'm pretty sure you're would be faster.If you want,do something while the program is running,helps time pass by.

 

YES!!!!!!
was just looking at some other guides and one linked to a site which said make sure you put psar dumper in a specific folder related to your kernal so i put it in all and one worked, then followed all the other steps as when i tried just using seplugins folder it froze on the selection for pops, so did all the rest and i now have mgs1 working!!!
thanks

 

I'm glad to hear that MGS1 is working for you.So I guess the region dosen't matter....Glad this guide let to a happy user enjoying his games....

 

hi


I'm at the end of the disc one of parasite eve 1, obviously can't change discs, but the problem is that i downloaded game online so i just have the eboot.pbp file and the bin file. so is there a way for me to make work ( I'm using a custom 4.01 m33-2)

I tried downloading the interpreter but i'm running vista so i wasn't really sure which one to download, sorry that i really suck at this

 

i THINK what you do is when it asks for disc 2:
first get to that stage in the game
then press home
the switch discs option?
if not press reset disc and select disc 2

im not sure, but from memory that sounds right

 

hi, nice guide you got here. i made the Xenogears eboot and it is running smoothly till now. i thought at first that the game ID was just a random number so i made the eboot with a random game id number that i dont remember now XD. will this give me future problems in the changing disks step?

 

i'm trying to do this with parasite eve, but i got it of the internet, will it work?

 

never mind my post before, I don't have the option tha says to change disk, and if i go out of the game and go on the second disk and load my game they will tell me to put disk one

 

I guess I didn't explain myself clearly previously, as well as not understanding ibizagti guide as well. my situation maybe different than some others as I downloaded the 2 disks off the net.I already have 2 seperate eboots I thought that I could combine the two with pypops so I would get no problems when I came to the second disc. My question I guess is for one would I need to combine the two eboots? ( I think I would seeing so many previous posts ) and two could I do so using the pypops program? And if so how? cause using the images that I have I always end up after completion with a 4.68 GB eboot

 

I can't get my multidisk game to work following the guide either. Using 3.40 OE-A. No spaces in the bin file name, or in the game title name when I run PyPops. Correct GameID, SLUS00628, Lunar The Silver Star Story Complete. It completes just fine, but when I try and run the game, it says it's corrupted and cannot run. I just made fresh images of both discs too.

Getting really annoying seeing as how I'm at the end of the first disc, and I have no way to change to disc 2. I've been working on this for a few hours now.

 

Nevermind. I updated to 3.71m33-4 and redid the conversion and it worked fine.

 

when i use the pypops i put the bin files into the rite places and the game name with no spaces and the correct game code(final fantasy 7 code, from icetea) but im getting a error message saying 'cannot create file when that file already exists. then the name of whatever i put in the game name box! no matter what i put that comes up!

any ideas??

 

what if i got two eboot.pbp files? how do i combine in one eboot.pbp?
please help~~

 

Use a program such as ICETEA to rip the iso from the eboot.
