huffff.....again...need ur help...
tx bro

 

ok well first off my pack includes 3.40 to 4.01 so you didn't read the readme on how to install it right...

you need to copy the SEPLUGINS's folder from PSP.POPSloader.5.50-GEN and paste it to the root of your memory stick then you need to copy the popsloader folder from my pack into the SEPLUGINS's folder you just copied onto your stick to give you all the pops cfws and you don't need to use psardumper since this pack has already done all that and is meant so you can skip it and you need to get a better cfw file so you can upgrade to 5.50 gen d3 without errors it seems like something is wrong with your internet connection if you are having trouble downloading from my web server and are getting currupted files..

btw the PSP.POPSloader.Pack-PSxRAR.nfo is a scene release file that can be opened with notepad using a terminal font.

also check my links in my signature or my readme.txt or .nfo for the psx compatibility list and see what firmware your psx eboot needs to be run on or just experiment with them.

 

I've got a question, because I've been looking everywhere and I don't fully understand why things "are the way they are."

For example howcome Digimon World 3 won't work properly on Photofast CR-5400. It's not the only game that doesn't work.. a lot of games have compatibility issues, but have they never been addressed? or is it just a matter of "perfect settings" because I've tried holding down R trigger on the PSP when i start the game and play the game in 3.52 and its supposed to run great.. but it doesn't. Just kinda craps out on me and freezes. I don't really want to have to use another card for it to "work" on Gen-D but is this as far as people have been able to get in the PSP-Scene?

I love love love the sony systems, PSP is easily my most favorite handheld, but I don't think its unfair to say that the PS1 games should at least be more playable now..


oh yea, I forgot to mention before i pushed "submit" that ShaggyZE is pretty freakin awesome for uploading the plugin software he helped me out quite a bit. I really really appreciate your help. Idk if anyone else has said thanks to you, but I just wanted to say so. =]

 

I am having problems I've never had before. I REALLY NEED THE ASSISTANCE I CANT FIGURE THIS OUT AT ALL!(please, just read this its a little long but..)
My pops menu appears EVERYTIME WITHOUT HOLDING R EVEN WHEN CONTINUING A SAVED GAME and i've realized on my eboots, no option in the pops menu works EXCEPT ORIGINAL FROM FLASH?? Its like this on both 5.50 gen d2 and gen d3....Any other option I pick will freeze the games instantly, leaving me the need to remove the battery.
ALSO ALL MY SAVE FILE PICKS ARE ALL OF FINAL FANTASY 6!!!!(or my rpg games at least) I once downloaded a ff6 eboot but deleted it cuz it was taking long to load between screensscreens and I somehow overworte the pic with the ff7ff7 save.
I just downloaded chrono chross AND ITS THE SAME THING???? how is that possible...I'm so lost.
I tried downgrading to 5.00m336. I installed the popsloader 'full pack for m336'....SAME DAMN PROBLEM!!!! I have no idea what the hell is going on. My psp has suddenly become immune to popsloader!!! why would this be happening????????????
btw for extra info I have a psp 2001(slim) with a ta-085 mother board(assuming this cuz I've successfully soft-modded a pandora with a magic memory stick before)
I'm begging for the assistance, I've been poking around everywhere..thanks everyone

 

try downloading my popsloader pack in my signature and replace yours follow the instructions in the readme.txt or my previous posts, and the ff6 logo appears on alot of the psx game saves it just a minor bug of those that make their eboots with the wrong sized image and the psp makes ff6 the default icon for invalid eboot game save images.

 

i've converted over 200 ps1 games so far and have always found a firmware or game id/save id to use that would get past any glitches and i guess i should mention i use a psp slim with latest gen cfw but the trick is to try every pops firmware and to convert the psx cd's yourself and find out what works best with or without multi disc eboots though i have not tried digimon world 3 so i can't advise you on that one but when i have some time and if i remember i'll add it to my to do list.

unfortunately sony changes things too often to stop the modding and things get lost and/or changed and cause un-compatibility with everything between firmwares so thats why we need popsloader to help and whats worse is now dark alex has left the scene and it seems there won't be any new developments in ps1 on the psp or even a new cfw for 6.00+ is gonna take a miracle...so like many other i've moved over to the wii modding scene and its running ps1 better then the original xbox though still not 100% sound yet.

 

I hope this request isn't unfounded or "bad" but is it at all possible to get a "copy" of your seplugins and system folder since if i'm not mistaken they should be nothing but system files. if its not ok, sorry for asking but also i'd like to know if you're using Gen-D(Final) cause i'm using the phat. It would be great to know anything that would help, cause i would love to make my own eboots.

 

i am using gen-d3 final however i have been out of the psp scene for a little bit even though i still mod for people and provide help i have been focusing more on the wii so i don't have anything on my memory sticks to copy for you but i don't see how that would help you anyway other then having the plugins that i like to use if you want to learn how to make your own eboots theres plenty of guides on it here

thank you shaggy, i really appreciate it. I'm hoping i'll be able to make good use of what i've got and what i've been reading.

Basically the reason for asking a copy of those was to see if I could eliminate all the things I could have made a mistake in for example having the right settings for the plugins and things.

 

same problem. doesnt matter which one I download. I've even tried popsloader on another memory stick and no luck. My psp has somehow suddenly decided to become completely immune to popsloader for no reason I could figure out. didnt you mean to say to put the popsloader folder(with all the pops versions) in the root and leave everything else in the plugins?? thanks for your assistance though. If you have any other advice or input I'd appreciate it. this whole thing makes no sense..WHAT THE HELL DID I DO TO MY PSP??? EDIT: I'm trying a few time with ff7. sometimes 3.71 starts it and sometimes I'll get a game could not be started erroe. but the thing is I thought the posloader folder that had the actual pops versions in it was supposed to go in the root as its OWN folder, separate from the seplugins folder which has the pops.tx and popsloader.prx, if not that might be what I was doing wrong.
ACTUALLY I THINK ITS WORKING!!! THANKS LOL my metal gear solid is no longer starting up with pops automatically!! so far so good. Ive come to the conlusion that the multi part eboot of final fantasy 7 on gen d2 works on 3.72 BUT no 3.71 so I guess thats the way those eboots were configured(im guilty of you know *ARRGHH* what)
but a version other than original from flash did work once or twice so Im getting resluts. Honestly, if the games I play work with original from flash maybe i shouldnt worry too much, but I would hate to have to encounter an error due to not using a numerical version of pops on certain games.

 

so just to clarify so others don't make your mistake, the popsloader folder with all the pops decrypted firmwares go into the seplugins folder that reside in the root of the memory stick like ms0:\seplugins\popsloader and ensuring that the poploader plugin is enabled in the recovery menu and lastly it should only ask you the pops to use on the first time you run any given ps1 eboot after that you have to hold R to get to the menu so the problem you are now having is not knowing what firmware to run your eboots with and possibly eboots that have not been converted properly so download others or make your own if necessary also i have a link on tested pops firmwares with various games for compatibility in my signature for those who need it.

 

yea, but the fact that almost all my save data files of ps1 games are the same save pic of a game I deleted way back before completely reformatted my game is a little creepy. -_- lol I guess that should be the least of my issues(it almost bothers me cuz I cant figure out how that would even remain. perhaps its the fact that I havent tried using other eboots. but I'm not sure how thats remained it the psp memory)
also I should mention, starting a new game a chrono trigger eboot, the pops menu didn't appear automatically. 0_0 could that be perhaps it may not need popsloader??

 

like i mentioned before this is the Alucard save icon glitch which is a result of using icon0.png images bigger than 80x80 pixels on a pops higher than 3.71 as past 3.71 sony decided on all PS1 games having 80x80 is standard even if you've never had the castlevania game sony replaces the save icon.
so anyone using the wrong sized images when making their eboots will have this glitch and its just one of the many problems eboots can have if you don't know what your doing and most times when a eboot does not work with the popsloader plugins then its the person who made the eboot's fault.

 

lol alucard, i knew that guy looked familiar..XD(not big with castlevania games) I wonder why I dont here more people reporting this issue. is this suppose to be an uncommon glitch or something??? is it suppose to ever affect the actual save data?? if not then I guess it isnt such a big deal. it seems like such a random bug. I mean it couldve been a character from ANY game. thanks for telling me about that i was wondering what the f*ck it was that was making all my games have the same save data. but even now, the only game that I think has the smaller proper default save data pic dimension on my ms is metal gear solid.

 

its not as common as it use to be and it only affected the pictures, problem was some of the older psx to psp converters didn't make the program changes to the new standard when firmware 3.80 came out so now it only happens when someone uses an old program or just doesn't know any better as for why its always alucard well guess you would have to ask sony on why they chose it to be the default for invalid eboot images.

 

bro shaggy,i finally can play psx game successfully....format my mem stick,than copy the pops...running chicken n 5.03 gen c full.convert suikoden with icetea 3.1(this one really2 great n simple,^^).thank's to ur guide n the link..now i'm continue playing suikoden II,hehe....next time i hope there was pops to ps2,ao i can continue playing again suikoden series,*.*.
nice jobs bro...

 

been getting alot of downloads for my popsloader pack, as outdated as it is its still the latest and most complete pack i've seen but i'm assuming no one is having any problems with ps1 on the psp as of late since no posts have been added and the psp scene seems to be dying out other then Prometheus and a new possible 6.30 exploit even tho i'm continually sending this pack out.

 

props goto acidy for the guide i just included a readme in my pack to make it easier for people following his guide and that's not comparable to his guide

 

thank you so much! i tried 3.0 and 3.1 and they worked with the p.e.2..hehe thank you so much! keep helping others.we owe you a lot.=)

 

For some reason, the POPS which I rip myself using PSAR Dumper doesn't show up in the POPSLoader Menu.
Somehow, though, they appeared when I downloaded ShaggyZE's POPS Pack.

I copied the right files and gave them the prefix of the CFW (4.01), but they didn't show up anyway.
Can anyone tell me where I fucked up?
