Two POPSTATION GUIs
greg | December 25, 2006
Update: Quake has updated his POPSTATION front end: it’s now packaged with an installer and the VB source code. As well it is more user-friendly than the previous with a step-by-step noob process to convert your PSX games. The download link below (for Quake’s) has been updated accordingly. Check it out.
Some folks may be unfamiliar with command line when converting PSX games to a playable format on 3.02 OE-B. If you are one of those persons you will definitely find these tools useful. They are two front ends for Dark_AleX’s “popstation” conversion tool — both do accomplish the same result. It’s only a matter of personal preference from this point.
First we have danny_kay’s front-end for ‘popstation’ (source: psp2k)

At it’s very basic stages all it does is allow you to choose your iso image from a nice GUI, it still requires you to place the keys.bin and the base.pbp in the right place yourself however the GUI application will tell you if any files are missing.
Included in the rar are all the files required except keys.bin and base.pbp and a modified readme for the GUI. You can also still modify the images of the eboot by simply putting your pictures into the popstation directory as you would normally with popstation.
Next up is Quake’s GUI:

Use it inside the popstation(recommended) folder or on your desktop. All files are still needed to be in the same folder as the popstation.
There you have it! Good luck.

I knew this wouldcome out in a matter of hours, thanks for the easy stuff! now… off to converting my backups!
so I’m still confused about all this OE-A and B and such stuff… homebrew IS enabled, right???
yep it still works
hey, what’s hot shots 2? the golf game?
hahahaha, Links to the GUI were posted in the comments of the OE-B. Didn’t get any bad feed back. Besides gawd damn this is to easy.
HEHEHE
ps do not ad your tags in fute releases as sony corp has its spys and ears on this site …. be warned
i knew it come out to
some1 had to do it
but which is better?
Does anyone know how this playstation simulator reacts with multi-disc games (i.e. Breath of fire, FFVII)?
I havn’t tried but apparently aslong as you save before switching disks(like on ff7) and then exit and load up the next disk you should be alright.
That i don’t know either. I’m currently playing FF7 3disc. When i get to the end of disc1 I’ll certenly find out. lol
i downloaded this and the hot shots golf 2 stuff do i have every thing i need? can someone please help me i really would appreciate it
howd you get it? i serached every ware i cant find the fucken files. plz be kind tell were i can get the files
Yea yea, right after I spend two hours this gets released…jajaja good job guys, now its not gonna take me two hours a game…
YES FINALLY!! I’ve been working on command prompt all day trying to get this to work and they released a GUI! Drn now I’m installing OE-B which seems to not work without installing OE-A… and the DXAR generator is taking a LONG time..
I had problems with the file creater using my 1gb sony card but ran fine on my 2gb sandisk, the sony card took over half hour just to repack the 1.50 firmware!
could be the memory card i was trying to install oe-a on a friends psp with a 64mb one and had to use my 2gig one in the end
can anyone help me ou, i have the keys file however i dont know how to get the eboot.pbp file for hot shot golf 2, i dont own a psp and was wondering how do i go about getting that file, if anyone can please host hte link for it or maybe explain how to get it. Thank You and Happy Holidays.
If you don’t own a psp then nothing here is for you.
lol i meant ot say i dont own a ps3 sry =/
Don’t need a PS3. But you do need the 3.02 OE-A then 3.02 OE-B UPDATE.
ye i got all that runing i got the keys file, however the questions i have a ff7 img file, can i get the eboot.pbp out of that, because i know you can do it from a iso and do i need the hot shots 2 iso?
This installer has all the files need to do what you need to do besides the Front ends up tope. http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/985017/PSP_POPstation_Full
thank u
i can never get this torrent crap to download anything. its frustrating as hell. any other sources?
hi xmas…. could you please upload it to http://www.megaupload.com
greatly appreciate it if you could help thanks
the file size is too big for me to download, Xmas
can you burn the file into a cd and send it to my hounse?
email me: vueboy2000@netzero.net and i’ll give you my address
please help me out…..please….
I just placed a jpg pic of a psx game cover in the same folder with all the other files for creating an eboot of the psx game i wanted to play.But i still get a pic of hotshots golf 2 when i go to my ms and select the psx game i want to play.Where do i place the pic i want to show up on the game selection screen?.
Well for 1. PSP EBOOTS don’t use JPG’s it uses a PNG file. You might try converting that JPG to a PNG and place it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
holy monkey’s of crap this is easy the other way didn’t work for me but this did
Can someone give me linux version of popstation? Windows version doesn’t work under wine :(
I need help with this.. some one help me over MSN: sendblink23@hotmail.com

IF you read ABOVE I put the link to a torrent that has a installer of all needed and READY files.
http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/985017/PSP_POPstation_Full
heheeh yeah i was downloading it.. wasnt sure what was included in it… i always get the stuff to see whats in it(if its not explained around) well i ‘ll let u know after ive down loaded the torent.. and well yeah hold up … im been in this since the PSP hacks page been made, i just dojnt have a clue why till it came the PS1 thing , that it didnt work 4 me, ahaha feel like a noob jajajaj
hey where do you install this?
wat software are u all using to make ur ps1 game into either IMG, ISO or CCD??
sry not CCD but BIN
I use the Alcohol 120% with the Speed as 1X Datatype: Playstion then Imageformat: CloneCD image then use the image file thats needed for the popstation.
soo where do i get tat software??
http://www.torrentspy.com/search?query=alcohol+120 Look at the Seed Leech. I’m gobnna say get the patchy version with the most seeded torrent
kk thx
get a location free player! with that u can play almost any system 2 ur psp with the location free player. but here’s the catch, the video content on the psp will be 2 seconds behind from the wireless from te other system. but hey fun 2 do! even on ur PC! specially playing vhs, dvd, and live TV! gotta have it. worth the money ppl :P and i’m demon_king17 on Medal of Honor Heros if u want 2 talk 2 me and play against/with me. have fun psp hackers of the world. this will be a great hack!
P.S. i go all channels with direct tv and got control of it on psp ^.^ (PSP…..best system ever made!!…beter then ps3….) LOL
HUH? Sorry I’m lost or is it you.
wait a minute… actually until now i still dun know wat is a location free player…LOL… is it a machine??? does it sell in singapore?? is it expensive????
ok i am starting to feel like a rat lost in a maze with 10 different kinds of cheese to find…
i mean, thanks and all for putting this out, but you should still consider dumbing it down a little. (this is for the Popstation emu in general, not necessarily for these front end apps, I just dont know where else to post this)
that cyg.dll file or whatever, why cant that just come complete with the download. thats almost as annoying as those bios issues with the GBA emus.
then this part REALLY confuses me. everyone says you dont need a PS3 or the Sony store anymore, but then how are we supposed to get Hot Shots?? dont we need the files that come with that in order to run this? and why cant those little extra key files be added to the Popstation downloads so that we dont have to own PS3s to use it? I have Resident Evil 2 (the original game disk) and i was hoping to load it and play it on this thing. But now its starting to seem kind of impossible. Yet so many people are talking about how easy it is…what the hell.
i guess you never herd of torrents so many dumb people
dont insult me asshole. you cant even fucking spell anyway. i have heard of torrents, I just cant ever get the downloads to work. but of course, assholes like you think i’m ’stupid’ because of that. it’s funny how you automatically assumed I didnt know about torrents (as if that’s the ONLY solution). I can pretty much guarantee your IQ pales in comparison to my own. But I can’t use torrents because I use a Mac and the one compatible torrent app they made for it never seems wo work, so I’m a fucking retard for that right? Go fuck yourself.
“wo”, i meant “to” but go ahead and mock the typo, since that’s all you really have on me
(thanks Greg, or whoever is modding this thing)
:-)
Transmission, Azureus, Tomato torrent, Bittorent, Opera. There are a few torrent clients for the Mac.
I was using one of those, and for some reason it had all these error messages that the file wasnt there, for the one they listed in this thread. but i did some searches and found the right one anyway. so I got it running now, thanks.
one question though, why is everyone hyping torrents these days instead of things like limewire?
WORKS GREAT THANKS this is way to cool i have done over 30 games already ff7 tekken 3 hydro thunder and so many more the psp rules way too much to play now merry xmas it is
how did you get this running, do you have a PS3?
Read up. See the Link i posted above. use that. IT HAS ALL FILES NEEDED FOR THE POPSTATION. Now for as the why doesn’t it come with it. cause quite frankly it’s to simple. It’s more a Well I didn’t provide this with that so you can’t say that this was for that so you have to prove that it was for that. You know CLAUSE. Also. Quite frankly the files are to damn big for some sites to host. :|+ Hot Shot’s is 155mb alone. OK?
yes, but you dont need the full game anyway when all is said and done right? you just need the key files…so how big are those? and i thought maybe they werent under any restrictions like the bios files, so maybe they could just be added as part of the app, to save everyone this headache
It’s all needed. nothing can be skipped out of whats needed. I didn’t make the Rip Emulation program. I just know whats needed and whats not. So i think. I aint no expert.
i admire the candid and humble nature of that reply. most people on here do try to come off as ‘experts’.
i did find it kind of, but the file looks like a folder about 155mb and full of smaller files that look like “d-hsg2.r01″. am i on the right path?
them are the RAR files. Now you need to unrar them. If you have WinRAR you can simply right click and select Extract here or Extract files and select where too. YES you’re on the right track so far.
well there’s only one rar file, the rest are just documents ending in .r01, .r02, etc…
and one .nfo
the file info said 155mb for the folder before it even began downloading, so for some odd reason my computer thought it was at it’s ‘destination size’ (for lack of a better term) before the download even began. hence i have no way of knowing if it’s complete, and when i tried downloading again it went straight to 100%. so i guess maybe its supposed to look like this and I just have to unrar the one file and the rest will just go with it?
nm, it worked. now its a matter of finding that cygwin1.dll file and figuring out where to put everything and what to rename the hot shots file (it may be in the instructions im going back to look those over)
everything seems in place. now im waiting to see if the file works when its done being converted. its been about 40 minutes already…im about to go check on it
ok this is THE SHIT
I got Resident Evil 2 working on my PSP…
well it worked perfectly for a while, but now the game crashes in the same spot every time. (its when you walk into the cop station) the screen goes totally black but the music keeps playing.
LOL….. i totally agree wit you ….. by the way Xmas i hav done tat alcohol 120% thx…
but whenever i start the game a black screen appear then nothing else.. i need help
omg… sometimes i really hates bittorrent…. it is always taking me ages to dl a file…
I can download torrents fine but with the link that was put up I don’t get $hit! Can we get another link all I need is the stupid base.pbp file. I already have hotshots 2 and it works fine but I don’t have base.pbp help!!!!
rename ur hotshots 2 EBOOT.pbp file to BASE.pbp file…..DONE
Dude You are the man. Merry Chirstmas to you, now l can live my childhood dream and play Castlevainia SoTN!!!
on the go* lol
actually u know wat i still dunno how to convert my ps1 game into the IMG BIN or ISO…. i try dling alcohol 120% but they need to be register( BUT I DUN WAN) so wat is the software u are using to convert??? can NTI or Nero do the job??
dude if you got a firewall BLOCK ther FUCKER. instint Full use. Put the Key it gives you and when open it and wants to access the net. BLOCK that BITCH.
hrmm…. i c.. but anyway can my NTI or Nero convert it?? or is there other FREE software???? i hope it is not in torrent files…..
tech…u can play ps3 on psp….duh
T-Rex. if you can block it. Dis the net. As long as the Alcohol doesn’t have net access you have full use of the program. If for some reasdon you forget to block it or dis the net. Just reinstall with key and remember to block access or dis the net. thats all thats needed. nothing more. thats all you gotta do. So dis the net for a few min’s and wham your set.
but the problem is i dun hav the keys… lol
the torrent file didn’t come with a NFO file? if so right click it and select Open with. when another window opens select Notepad.
If you don’t know how to dis it. go into the Network and Dial-up Connections right click on the green connecting icon and select disable
kk i go try it now…. u are a great help
So I’ve tried using both GUI’s.
The first one, lets me load up the GUI – Select the BIN file and click convert. On click, a Command Prompt box pops up, then quickly disapears.
The 2nd one by Quake wont even open for me when i click it.
Anyone have any prolems like either of these?
does the File structure look like so?
/BASE.PBP – HOT SHOTS 2 EBOOT.PBP RENAMED
/KEYS.BIN – HOT SHOTS 2 KEYS.BIN
/popstation.exe
/cygwin1.dll
/Game Title.iso – If made
/Game Title.bin – If made
/Game Title.img – If made
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
I might not be 100% sure what you mean by File Structure. I dont believe it creates anything – but im not sure how to make sure with this GUI.
ok what files do you have. look above and tell me if you have them… and if you do are they in the SAME folder?
Hey i have all thos files in the same folder but i can’t get it to work when i do the command for it. it says it can’t open the BASE.PBP even though i have it can u help me out also i am no noob.
hello Xmas… it seem tat it does not hav tat NFO file u mentioned…. can giv me the link where u dl it?
First tell what version it is. find it in the help about.
1.9.5.4327
go here. http://trading-post.sytes.net/forum/index.php login as guest123 password as 123456 We talk more.
there’s a chat system in the middle. Use that.
Hope you get it. cause now i’m out…
ok so i made the iso and everything so now how do i put the game in my psp i put it in a folder called Final Fantasy VII in the game folder with the eboot and the keys but when i start it the screen stays black so all i just go back to the xmb and thats all so can u help
Go help yourself. Good luck
Bet you can’t use that account no more can you bitch!
was someone impersonating you there?
BAN HIM FOR PROFANITY
Go learn something before saying something.
umm so maybe it could be the game iso that i converted maybe its not right or something idk
WTH y u throwing a fit wit me all i was asking was for help
YAY, I finally got this bitch working. I finally used Alcohol 120 instead of win iso or magic iso and it works. There were still 10 minutes left in christmas when I finally got it going. So thanks for the Christmas present guys.
????
wat is going on here???
Register.
hey i converted an nrg image to a iso with magic iso so thats probably y the thing didnt work so imma just download it from bittorents i guess
Unfortunantly the bittorents i got have been mdf mds files which dont work
I Can’t get this working, it says **Fatal Error*** system shared memory version mismatch detected – 0×75BE0096/0×2D1E009C. This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. blah blah blah. Then it tells me to search for, and delete all cygwin.dll’s except for the most recent, and copy to the “pop” folder. still got the same error message.
This is even after installing the latest distribution of Cygwin. What’s goin’ on? Does anyone have a Tested Known Good Working cygwin1.dll they can e-mail to me?
greg_gantt@hotmail.com
erm i just search ggogle used the first link, and you have to install the DLL to windows/system folder.. well copy it there, just finished erm backing up one of my favs r-type delta, and run from the c:\ promte but these GUI`s make life easyer…. btw remember cue`s mfd`s and all other disk image formats can be renamed to ISO (as long as you rename the larger of the 2 files, you must also deselect “hide known file extensions” in your folder options) and boom it worked first time!!!! this is AWSOME!!
i still think sony should have just relised this, as as a normal dl service over the net, it would have picked PSP sales up no end!
Any way to change the Icon away from “hotshots golf2″ to somthing that might match specific games?
if your READ the readme with popstation.. it tells you!
anyone know if ff8 will work? i tried converting but when i play on my psp i just get a blank screen
when you rip it… try ripping in different formats…
.BIN or .IMG
also magicISO doesn’t seem to work correctly so i use UltraISO(google it..)
thx man it works!!! T.T so happy
Here’s a question – What if I had the ISO’s for all the Final Fantasy 7 games – Is it still possible to play it?
not a GUI but its faster

I tried them both, but I always end up getting an Eboot with 0kb.
I tried converting THPS 3 from an original NTSC PS1 game disc. I have the EBOOT for it, but when I try to start it up on the PSP i get the message from SONY with all the bull craap about how the original game was like formatted to be able to play on the PSP, but then the screen stays black…
I have HOT SHOTS 2’s eboot.pbp that i then rename to base.pbp i also have the keys.bin and document.dat (all of this is 155 Mo)
then i downloaded cygwin1.dll thing (1.72mo)
I made my ISO file with MagicISO, it’s a 600Mo ISO file.
Has anyone had the same problem? Could anyone help me
make sure u spell base BASE all caps
i Hav the problem too and also cap the BASE….. i need help
use the danny_kay version. i tried quake’s thing and it didnt work right. danny_kay’s app is extremely n00b friendly. i actually have everything set up right now. i’m about to find out. it’s still processing the file. how long does it take on average? the iso I chose (Resident Evil 2) is about 5 or 600 mb. luckily all i wanted was to be able to play the Resident Evil games and that was the only PS1 disc i still had laying around.
i was just thinking- is there a way to make the game screen a bit bigger? it’s curently very small(half of the screen of my psp)..it’s kinda hard to play you know =/
theres a setting for that, in pretty much the same place as you’d find in the Namco classics UMD. its either Start or Select that pulls it up. I think its called “Ratio” on that menu.
i tryed this with one of my multis
crash 1 2 and 3 and spyro works perfect
no offense but these gui’s are like worthless. they save ya 1 step at most. They should at least everytime u convert copy over the keys.bin and eboot file into a seperate directory . i know they are the first to come out but still..
FIRST MAJOR GLITCH FOUND
We really should make it a point to list these things as they happen, assuming we are all loading different games for the most part.
I have successfully loaded Resident Evil 2, after backing up from the official PS1 disk. It played perfectly and beautifully for a good chunk of game time, but then it crashed on one spot. I think it has something to do with the way games are programmed, in the sense that it’s a problem that presented itself while the game was preparing to load the next area of gameplay. So maybe it gets glitchy while some games switch over through the various levels.
Anyway, for those who know the game, it freezes over at the end of the intro section of gameplay, right when you click to go through the door into the police station. What happens at that point (on my system) is that the screen goes totally black and all the buttons are non-reactive, while the background music keeps playing.
oh yeah, i almost forgot to mention…i played through two times just to be sure, and the same exact thing happened both times at the same location
That’s what we were waiting for! LOL!!! I love you guys!
Nobody can stop you!!! :D
KUDOS!!!! well done you guys, i thought life was predictable, i was wrong….u guys rock! im wondering why hasnt Sony just bloody give in by now….hmm if i were Sony id try n hire u guys! instead a workforce of dumbA$$es.
Peace.
Thanks heeps for this, this is the reason I bought my psp more than a year ago…resident evil portable!
thanks heeps again.
does anyone know how to put there own image for the game i read the readme but i am confused
does the popstation play games @ full speed?
Q. do you have to name the cover png’s any thing special or better yet how do you make your own title pics
ok every body popstation works for any ps3 store game i tried them all and they worked fine just to let everyone know
IM JELOUSE OF ALL YOU PPL :(, i have a damn 3.01 firmware on a fucking TA-082 mother board… can some1 plz do something to hack that.. that would be better then a christmas present…. :(, but anywayz, you guyz are doing great.. keep up the good work.. and make me proud by hacking my psp :D
put it in a blender, and film it being destroyed, then release a video of that on i-tunes and use the money to buy another psp
all games inclute hot shots doesn’t work for me ! with or without using cwcheat . ?? when i try to run the ps1 converted game with keys.bin incluted after warning screen crash (cannot be started)
There is some bad thing i’ve noticed: when we use same base.pbp for different games, they save data in single file, are there other ways to fix it besides change base file?

(nero and magic iso) , the only succeful game i played in my psp is suikoden1 which i got from the net help tnx ( ang dami ko pa nman pirated ps1 sayang!!!)
i think a lot of people use some kind of unpacker program to pirate the old PS1 games, which is why most of them aren’t going to work on this…
you need an actual disc for the game, and some kind of disc copy program to make an iso file of that
but why can i emulate this using ps1emulator when the cd is in the cd-rom
well thats something else, popstation is different
what do i do with this popstation window icon?
can somebody post their PNG PICTURES so that everybody can enjoy them, hot shots golf 2 is ugly with resident evil and final fantasy

you can only save 1 game bec the saving features is only save the hotshot2 once
Yes I know, but I want to change the name of the file which is displayed on PSP XMB. I managed to change the pics etc, but i can’t convert a proper base.pbp with a changed SFO
hod do I turn a disk image into an iso,bin,or w/e file I need…using what program and need to know how to use said program
ULTRAISO and even possibliy MagicISO
Castlevania SotN is the $hiznit! And playing it on the go is stuff that dreams are made of! I love Dark Alex and I’m willing to give him my sister and 2 goats if he keeps coding for us and not for sony the opresser of our community!
I got my old pirated ps one working i used magicISO and converted mycd to .bin files it work. I thing I dont really like is this can only save 1 save data huhuhu, I’m playing tekken2,street fighter ex2 and suikoden1 yipee!!!
I tried to convert my bin file with change PIC1,PICO and ICON0 but the popstation just flash, I remove the created .png files then i can convert it now. maybe it dont support .bin file? coz a I dont have a problem changing the image with an .iso file
are you tring to change the image?
(from Hotshots 2 to custom?)
I’m also attempting this…I got ICON0.PNG working… if you want image i’ll get one
working on the “put on some plaid pants and head out to the course in HotSHOTS golf2″
what is the RES on that? I want to remove it…
when i’m in the xmb and i’m going to launch the ps1 game, i’m getting this message that says “To use this content, you must activate the system” i used the update to 3.02OE-B and followed all the steps, anyone else have this problem?
i don’t know if someone has asked this, too busy to read everything but does someone know how to not overwrite the savegames when you save a file?? cause if you play FFVII for example and save and then play RE3 and save it overwrites XD anyone know how to overcome that??
This is amazing! ^_^
Many thanks to everyone who made this possible.
One question:
Is there any way to get games with XA sound (or whatever its called) to work correctly?
I have N2O running and it looks fantastic, but theres no music. *sad face*
Thanks again!
Hey the XMas thing Works Perfect. Thanx Dude…. also new idea commign soon, Dream Cast Games Emu’s for the PSP ;)
I got running on this PSX:…. GT 1 & 2, FF7, FF8, FF9, THPS 1 & 2, MGS, and many more ;) all perfect
can you save and not overwrite every single game??
Another thing:
My life is tuly complete now that I have Chrono Cross in my pocket. ^_^
Every time I try to convert this disk image, the EBOOT.pbp file ends up being 0kb…wtf is up with that..this game is 2 disk ..DQVII..I can’t get it to work
Dragon Quest* VII
does your pc have enough space?? :P
does anybody have any idea when/if this will support compressed iso’s? cause i have a gay-ass 512 stick.
I need to know how the hell do i save without overwriting!!!……please..anyone
To the people who’s asking about how to save and not overwrite another game’s save file, you need to change BASE.PBP’s Game ID first (the default is SCUS94476), just before you convert your PSX ISO game to EBOOT.PBP.
To change that, get any hex editor (Google for XVI32) and open BASE.PBP. Go to offset 304 (decimal) and change the game ID. Now save the changes and proceed the normal way to get your new game’s EBOOT.PBP.
Regards,
bootsector
alright tnx man, ill try it right now
so do you have to change it everytime you make a new eboot??
yes, you do :P
im still trying to figure out how the hell did you come up with this?? :P haha
hey boot i just figure out that you don’t need to do that, when you save diferent games they all stay on one memory stick which is SCUS4476 and it was kind of dumb of me cause the saves don’t overwrite XD i just noticed that when you play any game the save file is right there :P, well just wanted to let ya know, tnx for the HEX thing it may be useful sometimes
i havent used hex before. is there an easy way explain how to change the game ID or will i have to read up on the ins and outs of hex editing.
ps. dark alex rules!
if you have trouble finding it while you’re in there just go to “Adress” up on the bar click “Goto” make sure you’re on decimal and just put “304″ it will take you directly to the SCUS94476, just change it for example to SCUS94477 or something…i think that’ll work.
you do this after you open the BASE.PBP of course
yeah….piece of cake…
this info could also be useful for anyone interested in maybe making an app for that, for those of us who don’t know anything about hex editing
nah..I figured it out on my own
jus had to tweek a few things is all
will this ever be able to play compressed images?
because i have a 512 stick
it’s gonna be tough, but dude if dark alex created this, what can he not?
i’m savin up for a 2gig anyways, but it would still be nice.
Anyone else in here try Resident Evil 2 yet? I’m curious if it’s something I did, or if maybe this game wont work right on this emu. It seems to load perfectly and plays great for the first level of gameplay (i use the term “level” loosely, but you know what i mean…) BUT then it seems to crash when you open the door to the police station for the first time. The screen goes black and the music keeps playing. Anyone else encounter this specific problem on this game or anything similar on any other games?
I just got res 2 to work, is doesn’t support full screen without a slight corruption of the graphics.
it’s hard trying to dodge zombies on the tiny screen. Haven’t played it long enough to reach r.p.d but I hope it works o.k when I do.
full screen mode worked fine on mine, but that may have been a factor. im going to play through again in regular small screen mode to see if the glitch persists
tried it in small screen mode…still crashes in the same place
It’s confirmed. When I go through the door for the police station I see the open but then the screen turns black and the music keeps playing.
hope there’s an updated popstation soon!!
I was meant to say – when I go through the door, I see the DOOR open!
hey thanks for checking that out. i was going crazy over here trying to find other ways of making iso files from my ResEvil2 disc.
i hope theres a fix for this soon too
I don’t mean to cause a bother… or get yelled at or whatever.
Simply put, I thought I understood this well enough, and it turns out I didn’t.
Does anybody know where a very detailed step-by-step guide is to this bad boy?
thanks

When i use this program to create an eboot file…i noticed i don’t have a DAT file as well.
When i download games that are psp ready they always have a DAT file in them as well as the KEYS.BIN AND EBOOT.PBP files.
How do you get the DAT file as well as the other files.And also how do you put in your own game image, so that instead of always seeing the hotshots golf 2 icon on your memory stick when you go to select a game…you see the pic YOU put in there instead.
Can anyone please explain to me how to use this i downloaded a final fantasy rom form a website and it gave me a .img, .cue, .sub what do i do next. plzz im a noob so can u give me the step by step instruction. thanks in advance
hey killer if you’re talking about this file and how exactly to play psx games here’s my 10 step guide:
1 – download this file obviously “popstation gui”
2 – download hot shots 2 from torrents or something…(you do know what a torrent is right??)
3 – extract the “popstation gui” files on a folder
4 – extract the hot shots 2 files on the same folder. ( you can delete the “document” file)
5 – rename the EBOOT.PBP to BASE.PBP with Caps
6 – now you have BASE.PBP and KEYS.BIN :D
7 – Put your img,bin,cue on the folder
8 – Open “popstation gui” and select your image
9 – wait till it creates an EBOOT.PBP
10 – Copy the EBOOT .PBP and KEYS.BIN to PSP/GAME/”name of your folder”
Play all day :D
(if you get errors or something it may be that you have to copy the “cygwin1.dll” to C:\WINDOWS\system32)
im still not sure how the pics work, i think that you have to rename your 3 pics to ICON0.PNG, PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG and put them in the folder where everything is…that’s what the manual says, but didn’t work for me XD dont know why.
other than that any questions just ask

You all realize that what you’re doing is illegal and it’ll be really awesome when Sony shuts this site down. Just throwing that out there.
Now how is it illegal if you are using your own psone disc and copying them onto the memstick and using a vernurability in their coding? Heck, all the other shit that has happend on this site hasn’t shut down this site (which is odd, cause sony shut down lik-sang which had basically nothing to do with the psp hacking scene).
I wouldn’t steal a car, or a handbag.. and for this little hack I use original ps1 disks.
a hack is not piracy, don’t forget that.
lol you know those commercials where it says ‘you wouldnt steal a car….you wouldnt steal a purse” im always like “yeah i would!!!”
not saying i do these things, i just think those commercials are stupid
I think dickheads who make comments about downloading image files/iso’s will f**k up this site and I will be pissed off.
I rely on this site for all my psp needs and have done so for 12 months. I don’t want this site shut down for comments all these wankers are leaving about psx iso’s.
STOP TALKING LIKE THE SCURVY DOG’S YOU ARE, keep it humble people.
didnt i just say “I DONT DO THESE THINGS”???
gimme a fuckin break guy…
ok so i said “not saying i do these things” but i meant the same thing…
anyway I just wanted to hop back on here and say that you do have a very valid concern. I’ve noticed a LOT of people are posting torrent links on here lately, direct links to software like Alcohol, etc. The mods really need to get on banning some of these IPs or we may indeed lose this site because of those people.
indeed, stop postin torrents people, wtv they are *cough*.
hey everyone, hows this for ironic. I have sent my concern about the comments that will f**k this site over to Wulgar on psp live chat and I have been permenently been BANNED from chats.
WTF!
YO JENKINS WTF YOU WORK FOR SONY.YOU ASSOOOOOOOOOOO,DONT COMEBACK HERE NO MORE.I WISH I KNOW WHERE YOUR HOUSE WAS,I WOULD FIND YOU AND PUT A PSP UP YOUR ASS LOL.
i’am still not sure how the picture thing works,evry game i make i still get the hot shot 2 picture on my psp.do i need some sofware to convert the JPEG. it says in the read that By default, the program will use the ICON0.PNG, PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG from the BASE.PBP. (hot shots)
If you want to use your own pics, place them in the same directory as popstation gui, and it will
use those instead. i try that it did not work,can someone help please.
ok i have to lil problems 1. i need the size of the PIC0 i cant find it anywhere 2. i have hotshots golf, syphon filter, and dino crisis and they all do the same thing i boot them and they go into the precaution screen sit for 15 secs and then my psp shuts off wut is wrong
ZOZODOUCE yes u have to convert ur jpeg to png
try and get irfanview its free and after u convert rename ur pics to t1 of the 3 png files specified
How long has your dxar converter run for? Mine’s going for about an hour now >_>
whats the password for the Hot Shots golf? I got mine straight off a link from the sony store.
I, for the life of me, can’t get this thing to work. I have all the files, the problem is with the cygwin.dll file. It gives me a an “error” saying:
“system shared memory version mismatch detected – 0×75be00764/0×75E0084. This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygin DLL. Search for… yadda yadda”.
I searched, found no copy of any installed progams of cygwin. So, I download an installation of the “program” to try to get it to work, no luck.
It. Will. Not. Work. I’ve tried putting the cygwin.dll file into System and System 32, both times being seperated, I’ve tried pretty much everything. I’m about to try to install this program, again, and put THAT .dll into system.
Any suggestions, otherwise?
my cgywin.dll file is only in the popstation directory. not system or system32 or windows. and u probably need to download a compatible version of the file. try both. get another copy of the file, and put it in same directory of popstation.exe
Mac do yu knoe the password for hotshots?
i have a question , to use the games of the psx you must download the official emulator from the ps3 or what???
firmware 3.* comes with the emulator inside the update of the firware.
Check this out. I ordered a NEW 1GB mem stick for $26-+ with shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0006TI9WG/ref=dp_olp_2/102-7509742-3342550
Looks like all the Low Priced Mem Sticks are almost sold out. hahaha Glad I got mine when I did.
I have an error saying that the BASE.PBP is not in the directory but the thing is that it is in the directory so I dont know….
use the Danny-Kay popstation it only asks for a iso or bin image and away you go..
THANKS FOR THE ANSWER SLy AND THIS PROGRAM CAN MAKE THE CONVERSION OF A ORIGINAL GAME DISC TO EBOOT OR MUST BE IN .BIN??? OR EAVEN BETTER BOTH?
where can i find ps1 images.
can i play PS1 games on 2.80, if you Patch SFO. i do that on demos, that works on 1.81 and higer :D
Just a quick question, I downloaded the POPStation Full, now does that have the Hots Shots 2 in it already, or do i need too find that on the net, and secondly, I have tried it on a game and when i put it in my “Games” folder, it shows up as corrupt. Didnt know if this if because hot shots 2 wasnt included or if im doing something wrong.
POPstation full is READY to be USED. There is nothing to do accept slap a game image in that folder and MAKE the EBOOT. Don’t know how to? Use the newly updated Quake Front End. Install to the directory of the popstation. Run it and Use it.
i made the png files and named them icon0 pic0 pic1 but they are not working. help
thnx for you comment, but i figured out what I was doing, I was naming my eboot in the game folder too “BASE” … lol .. thnx

hey, what’s hot shots 2? izzit the golf game u all are referring to?
the easiest way to make an iso from a legit ps1 cd is with ISOProducer, just google it and you should find it.
It converts ps1 cd’s to iso’s in about 3 minutes. you will need P.E.Op.S CDR driver plugin, found in psx pc emulators.
i cant get my eboots to work now i make the iso and the pngs work fine but the eboots start and nothing will happen after the emu start. just a black screen i can use the emu menu but thats all. i have tryed two iso’s no good
Try slapping a UMD Disc in. Doesn’t matter what one. Demo Disc will work too.
this is so awesome ive been playing castlevania sotn for like 20 minutes i just cant wait until metal gear solid is done downloading so i can play that as well
can someone give me a link plz that would direct me to a web site with FREE isos that would work with this as in tested your self

try downloading ISOPRODUCER, it was made especially for ps1 image extraction.
I use it and it takes about 3 minutes to extract an iso.
hope this helps.

Hey in metal gear wheb i finish the disc one how do i enter the disc 2.
hey guys, anyone know how to convert a .mdf image to the EBOOT.PBP???
i do its easy
how? cause look what i do is that i convert the .mdf to .iso and then to eboot.pbp but it freezes after the psx logo. so, how do you do it?
hey just rename the file to .iso it should work
ok i have pretty much concluded taht it is not the ISO’s fault i think i have my inventory wrong, or the program is faulty on my pc, because I have the following all in the same folder:
-Popstation GUI.exe (can’t get to run)
-BASE.PBP (hotshots)(runs fine on psp)
-KEYS.BIN
DOCUMENT.DAT (notreally necesary but w/e)
-cygwin1.gll
-NBA.iso (should work)
-popstation.exe
WHAT AM I DOING WRONGG!!
btw: it tells me every time, “ActiveX component can’t create object”
what does taht mean?
another question since no one answered the other one :P, ok here goes
If I save a game like RE2 on the epsx emulator, does anyone know how to use that memory card .mcr in the psp while using the dark alex emu??
