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
hmm like duhh we are in here….. anyways, help me out, cant manage to accomplish to make anythign work of the PS1… i have the Key, and the Iso’s I just dont have the PBP(the popstation or the gui’s thing aint working in my PC ….) need some one to help me out sending me the Files.
What is it that you don’t understand? Tell me of what files you have. Tell me what you have done and what happened. I’m not the Expert but I might be able to help.

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
