Yet Another Simple Popstation GUI
greg | January 2, 2007
Seems like every Tom, Dick, and Harry are releasing their own Popstation interfaces. This one particularly, by forum member ZiNgABuRgA, caught my attention because 1) it was emailed to me, 2) it’s visually appealing in comparison to most, and 3) it features more.
- PSX images and EBOOTs are FULLY customizable (eg save file fixes) – even the gameboot picture can be changed
- EBOOT patching is quite fast – no more PSP Brew
- Conversion with a progress bar!
- ALL files are included – no more searching for elusive KEYS.BIN or BASE.PBP files
- MANY other features – such as ISO extracting from EBOOTs, Preview feature, EBOOT add/delete/extracting etc etc
Download: Simple Popstation GUI v1.23 Beta
Mac users — you may find interest in Prometeus which essentially provides the same functionality.

OMG this is an amazing Tool i have never used anything better ROCKS!!!!!
1
HOW CAN I MAKE MULTIPLE CD GAMES WORK?
I TESTED WITH TALES OF DESTINY 2, (SEPARATED ISOS) AND IT DIDNT WORK, WHAT CAN I DO???
i have only just used this for the first time, and i already found out by READING what it says on the APP, you need to make the game id the same for each disk, says that in teh middle just under game id. i wish ppl would read stuff first.
Finally, this seems to be very user friendly. Nice job!
This is the best converter out right now! It saved my life, after I couldn’t play my FFIX save :D
hihi, nicely done :***
I’ve had this app for a week or so now, Just glad they put it on the front page! Good job Zingaburga!
yeah about time it made frontpage, this app is amazing!
Gets my vote for best PSXPSP tool.
thanks
wow great stuff!. props !
You do understand that this is illegal ? After decompiling this, it clearly has parts of the Hot Shots Eboot, clear copyright infractions freely distrubution of a Game which sony are selling. Im all for homebrew and this rocks, though psp-hacks could be in trouble if this gets back to $ony.
It could have parts of any other PS1 titles too, though sony can’t proove which one it is
Don’t worry, Sony doesn’t have time to after this program, they’re be too busy upgrading new firmware.
Dude, worrying about the law is for squares. I live in america. I do what I want.
i couldnt give a crap about you, im more concerned about this site gettin a bad rep. srsly, go fuck yourself.
but obviously its going to contain a commercial ps1 release which has to be purchased from ps3 store or illegally downloaded.
someone’s been paying attention to my suggestions on the other interfaces. that or its just a coincidence. either way it looks like you made a really great app here
Zingaburga, great job
This should be taken down and repackaged WITHOUT the copyrighted material. It’s a nice looking app from the screenshot, though.
I just wish for someone to figure out how to convert saved games from an emulator like PCSX into a PSP gamesave, then import/export those saved games.
Copyrighted material? Sorry, but I can’t find any copyrighted material on this package.
About importing PC emulator save game to PSP, there is already a program for it.
Both keys.bin and the original eboot.pbp from the golf game are both copyrighted material from Sony. It’s the main reason why we were told to go find it ourselves when popstation first came out. If you didn’t know it was copyrighted… well… now you do.
Again, I’m not bashing the author of the app. I saw the release thread and he’s put a lot of thought and effort into this program from when it first came out so he gets tons of respect from me. I mean, there are better things to do with your time than reading up on the ISO structure, but I’m glad he did. :)
“About importing PC emulator save game to PSP, there is already a program for it.”
Really? Wow. What’s it called?
the key.bin file is as gay as the damn GBA bios file. nobody’s going to go hunting anyone down for those tiny pieces of shit, but because they are technically under copyright, all these sites are going to be too scared to host them. this leaves the ‘homebrew community at large’ in tons of frustrating scenarios where we all have to go on these stupid easter egg hunts on torrents until we find these stupid files. its retarded.
the eboot file however, is a game and that obviously should not be distributed as part of an app. thats just asking for trouble…
wow.. very good. extract iso from eboot is great too..
congratz on your front page i know you would do it :D
Just shut the fuck up about illegal blah blah blah. Seriously just SHUT THE FUCK UP.
yeah mang… just enjoy this great accomplishment!
I’m having problems with this app, it ran great first time and is the program i’ve been needing but when I came to run it again I get run-time error 55, file in use. It isn’t running at all! I restarted pc but still no good, anyone help on this, thanks.
i got same issue before…all ya need to do is delete the folder that contains the program and re-extract it. That cleared it up for me.
yeah man i’ve had this same freakin’ problem
this app rocks
thanks xriverfalconx, that works now, good job it only take 2 secs to extract or else would be pain in ass!
grrrr, now i’m getting runtime error 7 out of memory when trying to open a eboot! why is this never easy :(
will this method work on fw 3.03?
lol nub =P
now it just freezes and locks up my pc when trying to open a file, this is freaking my head, coz it worked fine once and now i just cant get it working
Can’t help you with that one. I just delete the entire program then extract it over when I want to use it again. I’m still using beta version 1.20.
hi all can i make a working psx backup on the psp thank u all :-)
hi i am making the psx game to psp but when i boot the game the screen remain black any help plsssssssssss :-)
yeh some games look as if they are about to start and go through the intro and load screens and then freez!!
great program, but could use a memory fix, too much of a hog
Hmm, it shouldn’t take up that much memory. When handling files, it uses ~100KB memory at most. The main memory hog would be having the game list loaded in memory – I’ll take that away in the next release – this saves about 1-2MB of memory. Otherwise, I’ve never seen it take up over 15MB of memory yet (not including the ~3.5MB that popstation uses) – note that a blank file in Notepad seems to take ~4.5MB memory.
IMO 15MB isn’t much, considering that this program shouldn’t be converting whilst you’re doing other stuff as popstation uses the HDD quite heavily. Also, extra memory is used to improve speed. I’ll be able to reduce the memory usage a bit, but it won’t be more than a few MB.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion :)
hi i am making the psx game to psp but when i boot the game the screen remain black can anyone help thank`s
using Alchol120 to make the .iso seems to work. it stopped me getting black screens
It works a treat except changing Pal to NTSC i still get the graphical glitches :(
good job
i used Alchol120 but no luck there is some settings to do ?
tbh i just used default settings and speed. I’m using alcohol120 1.9.2 build 1705. i don’t know if that makes any difference. Sorry i’m not much help.
i hope u ever gonna be able to play PAL-system games. cuz I have FF VIII in PAL vers.
psx backup games works with this program or it have to be an original game to work?
I hope this gets resident evil directors cut working, will try now!
FFVII and Metal Gear Solid both turn black before game play actually starts on my psp. Does anyone have any idea of why this is?
you have a bad iso image most likely(remember not to compress the image). What program are you using to make the ISO? some programs suck at making correct images of playstation cds.
Hi can anybody get Tomba! game to work. Opening movie doesn’t work, memory stick keeps on reading, and game doesn’t start. also Soul Reaver the sound is breaking. anyway to fix these problems. thanx
Damn i am about 60% finished of making my own program that does this using the fast method, but my interface is done all through a virtual image of the psp using conext sensitive right clicking…. :( this guy beat me to it.. but i will continue anyways
Hehe, that sounds interesting! I’d really like to see it.
It’s always nice to see people so willing to give up their free time to provide alternatives :)
Good luck, and I’d really like to see it!
Anyways, I updated to v1.24 – hopefully this fixes a few bugs that you guys are having…
does the phps only work on 3.02 oe
Yup – this is only for Dark_AleX’s 3.02 OE-B custom firmware.
Wait! No Base.pbp? That means he’s figured out how to make the emulator work without a legit copy of Hot Shots! Which means that he knows which files are nessecary to run the emulator. This guy is insane! You rock man, now I don’t have to do 5 steps in creating a good psx. This is amazing.
Nah, actually if you look in the Data folder, it’s the extracted files from the BASE.PBP file – thanks for the credit, but I’m no Dark_AleX :)
use UltraISO to create an estandar ISO
I have a problem when i try to play the games. The game shows on the xmb, i select it, it shows some playstation writing, the screen goes black and then i get a “The game could not be started. (80020321)” message. Not to mention the fact that I’m trying to play Hot Shots Golf 2, not my own created game. I have 3.02 OE-B, what am I doing wrong?
did you copy keys.bin from the folder where this is
(inside data) over you your psp…should look like…
ms:\\psp\game\(name of game as new folder)\
in here you should have keys.bin and eboot.pbp
as far as creating a new game name just type it into this GUI and it’ll rename it within the eboot (i’d also click on select next to game id so you can select the real game id from the list)… in case you were wondering you can also add custom images select them where it says icon0.png and pic1.png i’d also make a transparent one for pic0.png that is the size stated…i’d also download Syn’s PSX icon pack as it will provide you with a nice icon0 and pic1 just rename it without the (#)
hope it helps! noobfriendly as all hell
yea i did all that and i still get the same problem. i even tried going back to 1.50 and back to 3.02 OE-B and still nothing. here’s a question though… do i have to buy hot shots golf 2 through a ps3 or can i just use this app. with any game and my psp will be ready to recognize ps1 games? im just asking cuz i dunno if my psp needs to have some sort of data that only a ps3 can install in it…
ok….this is for the popstation in general.
i just tried some new games—–
MTV Music Generator (dun dun duuuuun) DOESNT work….freezes at start screen
Alien Resurrection—- WORKS perfectly so far!
AREA 51—— WORKS perfectly so far!
HEXEN—– WORKS, but the graphics seem glitchy
im still bummed out about the Music Generator….i really wanted that on my psp
works real good i’m loveing it i give much love to the one who made this app thanks keep them comeing ;)
DVD DECRYPTER… Use this one, never had problem.
can someone answer this question. DOES THIS WORK WITH A NON HOMEBREW PSP WITH 3.0 AND UP?! if so can someone please convert and send me mega man X4 or street fighter vs. Xmen in a folder ready to download through my psp browser(dont have a computer) to my e-mail at psychobillybatman@yahoo.com? Please im begging you guys. If possible convert yugioh forbidden memories. SORRY its just that without a cpu, i dont get do these stuff. So i would appreciate it. Thanks, whoever you may be.
sorry…nobody pirates here you’ll have to go somewhere else for any games…
GOOD JOB!! Now playing with all my PS1 games. Apparently pirated games (CDs) works too as my friend is boosting around. Thanks to Dark Alex too; your the best!
illegal files hosted here . . . wow, psp-hacks are dumb
Updated to v1.25 – check release thread for changes.
Anyways, thanks a LOT everyone for your support! :) VERY much appreciated!

yea i did all that and i still get the same problem. i even tried going back to 1.50 and back to 3.02 OE-B and still nothing. ”
Have you tried holding R-Trigger @ startup and selecting 1.5 kernel instead of 3.02?
yup i tried that as well. I’ve changed the kernel back and forth from 1.50 to 3.02 and ive tried putting the files in the GAME folder and the GAME150 folder and still nothing. I even tried doing it in another psp and i get the same result. I have my own ps1 games that ive ripped with alcohol 120%, used this application and got the keys.bin and eboot.pbp files and put them in the correct game ID folder and I still get the same message. I even tried using the PAL to NTSC patch just for the hell of it. My sanity is slowly fading…
The author has also updated to V1.25 here : http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about60371.html
hope this helps.
Firstly i want to say a big thankyou ofr making this program reall does make it so much more simpler! i had FF tactics and it went from 200mb to 500mb really gets that much bigger after conversion? i only have a 512 mb card atm so cant put many games on :( any ideas of the file size getting converted with a smaller file size?
Is anyone actively working on a Popstation upgrade or patch to address the problem of some PSX titles freezing in certain spots or not loading at all?
Problem titles so far include—
Resident Evil 2 (freezes at cop station)
Spyro (freezes at beginning when you reach the fairy)
MTV Music Generator (freezes at start screen)
CORRECTION—-
AREA 51—– plays perfectly, BUT freezes in “Kronn Hunter Mode”
hey i think I know what’s up with all these crashes and freezes. I’m not a programmer or anything, so dont flame me. This is just a theory anyway. I think the 3.02 firmware Sony put out was made to host a limited number of PSX titles. Some compatibility was probably intentionally left out just in case something like this were to happen, so that people would have to upgrade to get the rest of the PSX games to work. So, we might have to wait for a 3.03 SE series of custom firmwares to come out before some of these titles are playable. Just a theory…
hey….can anyone tell me that from where can i get my psone games so that i can convert them n then put it on ma psp????please reply on ma e mail address if it’s possible or write on this page….please someone help me…i eager to play psone games on ma psp…….n one more thing…i have devhook 0.52 which emulates version 3.03….will the games work on this firmware??????hhhheeeeellllppppp me….please…please..please…….. my e mail is saadsohal@gmail.com
