Multi-disc Popsloader Coming Soon
greg | December 10, 2007
Ah, good morning! Roughly six hours ago an email from a fellow by the name of Fadil notified us concerning Dark_AleX’s most recent developments…
PSP homebrew developer Mathieulh tipped us off today to let us know that a new Popsloader binary with full support for building multi-disc PSone EBOOT is due for release soon.
Essentially, this means that when converting multi-disc PSone games for use with custom firmware on the PSP, users will be able to store and compress all the data into one EBOOT file, rather than building a separate EBOOT file for each disc.
Awesome! Now that’s something to look forward to.
“Thanks for the tip.”

That’s AWESOME!
ssswwwweeettt!!
Thanks 4 all your Dark_AleX
all your* what? sorry I had to point that out…
Excellante! That Dark_AleX is a genius! If there were any awards for PSP homebrew projects he would certainly win one!
Don’t worry Abe! Here I come to help you save some blind mudokons!
HAHAHAHA i was thinking the same goddamn thing XD
LMFAO I LOVE THAT GAME xDDDD
That’s AWESOME! but… I want a PS-Store Loader too… So we can play PS-Store games for free!!!
QUOTE: users will be able to store and compress all the data into one EBOOT file, rather than building a separate EBOOT file for each disc.
What if about the game is on 4 discs like final fantasy?
It will be very large eboot…
I mean it doesnt fit on mem cards…
ummmmmm…………yeah, lets see here, max. capacity of around 700mb
700×4=2800 which translates to roughly 2.8gb
700×6=4200 which translates to 4.2gb
the largest aviable memory stick is 8gb, 4gb memory sticks are more common and are getting ever cheaper as well. there should be no problem fitting them on a 4gb memory stick, you would have 1.2gb left over, and thats not counting compression either.
4 CDs x 700 MB = 2800 MB (2.73 GB) but it’s actually smaller because the CDs aren’t exactly 700 MB ! Plus compression…
Imo, a 4 GB ms should be enough for FF7, a movie and some music. ;) Maybe we’ll be able to “join” just the CD1 + CD2. (~1 GB if you rip the intro movie and shit). We shall see.
Can’t wait to play some Abe’s Exoddus, btw. :D
While it would be more convenient, it’s not that necessary for those types of games. Final Fantasy has always given you the option to save before loading a new disc. Games like Xenogears and Chrono Cross, which only have two discs, really benefit from this because you are forced to change discs mid-game.
Either way, this is fantastic news!
Can somebody please tell us if this is awesome or not? Anybody?
On a scale of 1 to 10 ?
Around 9.5… But definitely awsome !
The only thing cooler than this would be that 1.5 kernel thinghie for the Slim. Or that WTF Project where you can run homebrew on official firmware (which I think it’s total BS btw.).
would that include pirate games????
I MEAN GAMES I FORGOT TO PAY FOR…
I have Pirate Games and they work well in it to. Just as long it has the same data from the Origina; Game.
If devhook (homebrew app) would load on official firmware, I say yeah…
I thank Mathieulh for giving me the news. I have post the news over: PSPgen.com, QJ.net & PSP-hacks.com.

YES MAN its awesome!!!!
think of it,the mem card is fat32 format,like ff8 with 4 cds,hope it wont exceed 4gb limitation…but with compression,it might be smaller than 4gb..
Ques, i just put some cfw on my psp, whats the best way to get psone games up and running on the psp ?
i thought dark alex is quitting the home brew community?
he had “quit” but he was actually working undercover with m33 :]
i think this is pointless
sweet i can finnaly play gta london when it comes out
huh? i already was able to do that… what’s so wrong with gta london that u cnt play it now?
u need to put gta1 in 1st in the ps1 thn put london in the ps1
not if u have the standalone edition =P
Okay…. so let’s change the subject… when will we be able to play Wrestle Fest and WCW Vs. NWO….. that is all!!!!!
OMG DAX Im gonna Be Enternally In debt to you Ever sence i join the HomeBrew Community, Its Always Been DAX To Surprise The Hell outta Me
Thank You N Keep Up The Good Work HOORAH
I hope this new popsloader will allow the ability to play games that are multi-track discs. It would be nice to hear some in game music while playing Thrill Kill and many other multi-track disc games. Anyone know?
Rayman’s got CDA music and it played just dandy on 3.71 m33-2… Donno about 3.71 m33-3 (I recently updated). Maybe you’re not converting them the right way. When you go torrent-fishing for PSX ROMs, get them in CUE/BIN format or CCD/IMG.
And always open the .cue file with Notepad to check the status of the multitrack. ;) It there’s only one track, you can safely convert it into an ISO. It doesn’t matter, because there’s just one main track.
People that rip multi track games in ISO format are fucking morons because they loose the in-game music. USE CUE/BIN INSTEAD !
So since some of the eboots that I have are “rip multi track games in ISO format” does that mean that even with multi-track functionality, I still won’t hear BG music? Damn. Any chance of you, or anyone, having a Thrill Kill eboot in the correct format for in-game music?
ISO files simply cannot store CDA music. Why ? Because the format is somewhat outdated. Nero came up with the .nrg format for better results. If you find a .nrg PSX image, convert it into bin/cue, then open the .cue file with Notepad… ;) Look at it.
Browse the torrent sites for the full game and convert it yourself into an EBOOT.
I had the same problem with multi-track games like Tekken and Twisted Metal 2. Make sure the game has a .cue file. Open it up and see how many tracks there are. Most of the time you can just Google “working .cues”; “whatever game” Also in the .cue (use wordpad to open), make sure this is at the top, FILE “Game location.(img, bin, iso, etc)” BINARY For instance in your case it would be FILE “Thrill Kill.(img, bin, iso, etc)” BINARY Make sure you know what type of file it is too. Then use PsGUIni300beta, open the .cue file and convert it to eboot. It will create two files, an EBOOT and another file that has ISO in the name. Cut and paste it onto your memory stick and Bam! you have sound.
DAX is IMORTAL… DAX ROCKS!!!
lunar… and metal gear solid… playable on psp?!

lunar… and metal gear solid… playable on psp?!
Every PS1 Game is playable…
when i say “playable”, i mean playable all the way through past the cd change.
Freakin awsome! Btw ff7 takes 1.46gb when I finish and ff8 takes about 2.1gb. So a 4 gb mem stick should fit both. (I have an 8gig so it doesn’t really matter)
I really don’t see this working, even though the eboots could be combined when you get to a swap disc screen, how are they going to simulate the second disc being put in and tell the console where to load from.
You don’t need to know man! Just be happy that the guy WANTS to do this and say thank you when he has! God! Some people just live/love to bitch!
Ah…this news is so Sick I think I just puked a little…
-TKG
Don’t be moron!!!
I Need a Bigger Memory Stick LOL
wow so fucking awsome! making a 4 disc PSX game into 1 Eboot! good thing i have a 4 GB MS with 3.52 M33-4
one of you biznitches shud remake a 3.4 LE v3 but incorporate the latest ofw 3.73
if its final fantasy - ppl cud play that b4 hand, as u can save b4 it asks for the next cd, so it always worked with that game, but for MGS will be handy! =D
with CWcheat and a save file converter, all you have to do for the games that dont let you save before changing discs is….. Save file, convert to ePSXe format, play till after disc swap, save again, then load onto mem card and import ePSXe save with CWCheat.
and i dont think you can do DAX or CSO compression on pops games
The compression is somewhat similar to CSO.
You’re right about ePSXe. Play it on the PC, save after the disc swap, then move the savegame file to the PSP and continue playing.
I’ve been waiting for this piece of news for ages now.
Time to relive some of those PSX multidisc gaming days soon in your hands.
Will it only be a software that launchs on PC or both smt that has to be written on flash of PSP. My PSP is running 3.6m33 sao i don’t know could it work?

Just when everyone was once saying Dark Alex coudn’t do it, then M33 showed up, they doubted them too even though disguised later to be revealed it was Dark Alex himself who was the superior of all this homebrew hacking community scene going on… Dark Alex thank you for every thing you have done for my PSP & everyone’s else too!
