PopsLoader for Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-2 Released
greg | October 22, 2008
I know you’ve been anxiously waiting… Freshly compiled just for you… Snap, crackle, Dark_AleX’s PopsLoader — the dopest PSX/PSOne emulator for custom firmware 5.00 M33-2.
System requirements, PopsLoader changes, installation and upgrading, downloads, etc… — all available after this break.
Requirements:
- 5.00 M33-2.
PopsLoader changes:
- Works on 5.00.
- Added 3.80, 3.90 and 4.01.
Upgrading from an older version of PopsLoader:
- Copy seplugins to the memory stick root folder replacing files.
- Dump firmware 4.01 (choose decrypt all option in PSARDumper) and copy impose.prx to /seplugins/popsloader/ with that name (impose.prx, without numbers).
Install PopsLoader from scratch:
- Copy seplugins to the memory stick root folder replacing files.
- Dump the desired firmware to extract the files needed (choose decrypt all option in PSARDumper).
- These are the required files for each firmware:
- 3.02-3.03: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /kd/meaudio.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx
- 3.10-3.30: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx
- 3.40-4.01: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx, /vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx
- Copy the files to /seplugins/popsloader with firmware version as suffix (e.g. popsman.prx -> popsman380.prx)
- Additionally, no matter which pops you want to run, you have to get impose.prx from 4.01 and copy it to /seplugins/popsloader/ with the name impose.prx (no suffix).

Kicking butt once again! , keep it up yo
and thanks for all the free updates and your hard work. thanks to you too psp-hacks for keeping up with the mayor releases.
Great… But how do I run my AutoPopstation PSX games?
I think I used AutoPop3 and Popish
so whats the difference b/w m33 and m33-2, for a noob over here…
and should i update from 5.01m33 to 5.01m33-2??
there are always bug-fixes, or new features in this kind of updates, and you should always do it.
-P
hey i thought popsloader worked great with CFW 5.00 m33-2 now. why need this update? does it improve it better?
popsloader DIDN’T work on 5.00.
The 3.80 popsloader works perfectly I know because I used it every time afer uploading to both 5.00M33 and -2
Likewise. Popsloader worked fine for me on 5.00M33.
The previous popcorn fix didn’t do the trick for me.
Updated to 5.00m33-2, parsdumped all the plugins and bam, all my PSone stuffs are working again. Thanks Dax.
I’m having trouble trying to do this, I’ve never had to use PSAR Dumper, and following the scarce instructions I can find, I can’t even get the icon to show up in my XMB to use it. Help please.
PSN Store no longer logs in. No real loss though…
Everytime i try to decrypt all it says it cant find the eboot and it shuts down. what am i missing?
u need the 3.80/3.90/4.01 eboot on the root(whichever one you are doing) and name it eboot.pbp the run the program and press square to decript all
what you are missing is the original firmware version you want to add to the popsloader since some psx games work better with certain versions. ex original fw 4.01 download it extract it and copy the eboot.pbp file to the root of your memory stick then run psardumper decrypt all, a new file F0 appears in the root directgory of memory stick go there get the files you were told was needed copy them to seplugins/popsloader then when done delete the F0 file and the eboot file and if you want a different version of firmware do the same above for that version of original firmware.
man this is one very messy release of a custom firmware usually u get the whole lot with the firmware installer but this is mostly manual installing stuff anyways thanx dax u da man
hey can anybody…ANYBODY tell me how to fix the problem with switching discs when playing a game with more than one disc? i have CFW 5.00 M33-2 installed and it works great. And i have driver 2 for psx ( 2 discs game) and when the screen tells me to swap discs…. i try to do it by clicking on the “Switch Discs” and it tells me ” The game did not prompt you to switch discs. To switch discs and start another game, select [Reset Game].” This is anoying. I cant continue to play the rest of driver 2 cause it wont switch Discs right. Maybe is still not meant to work right in 5.00 firmware…or i probably didnt cinver it right. but i think i did. Can u try fixin ma problem greg? sorry for the long post.
oops i meant to write “convert it right” the third last sentence.
If someone could put together a package of all the POPs modules put together, I would be hella appreciative ;)
here are the POPS 3.30-4.01 with the latest popsloader http://www.realz2reelz.com/SEPLUGINS.rar
great, thx dude, that saved me a whole bunch of PSAR dumping…
Thank you!!!
If anyone is reading this, just download the above, copy it to your seplugins folder, and enable it in the recovery menu. It will save you a LOT of time and trouble from going through the whole messy process above.
I should be more clear – download the file ShaggyZE put above, and it will save you from all the ridiculously complicated steps at the top of the thread.
cheers
wtf’s a popsloader lol
i’v seen people talk about it for the past week. what does it do?
allows u to play ps1 games on the psp
o ok, thats a weird name for it lol
thanks man
sorry but I used to play psone games without doing these things…
so what exactly is this ?
It simply allows you to load run psone games with the support of older firmwares, depending on the modules available in your popsloader folder.
im unsure if it stands for anything other then popstation which is not to be confused with the knock-off imatator of the psp but anyway popsloader just loads the pops emulator from several versions of previous firmwares that had pops so that psx games made or converted for those firmwares or psone games that work better with those firmwares can still be played nicely in other words i can upgrade my psp to 5.00 M33-2 and still play a psone game perfectly as it was intended on 3.72 M33 firmware
5.00m33-3 is out
DAX is a legend and I want to thank to all people involved in development. Thnx a milion.
DAX your the best…
Tried this just now on 5.00M33-3 and works!
Not for me.
PSAR Dumper doesn’t work (keeps saying I need firmware 2.71 or above – I’m on 5.00 M33-3!!!)
WTF??
F*** the PSN store
read this SORRY for the long post!!!

Now excuse us while we got stock up on tinfoil hats so Sony can’t read our minds.
Yep, that’s happening all over the world. America has it worst, but the top 6 IPSs in the UK are doing it too. The idea is an old one – crack down on piracy. If they catch any IP/user registered in PSN (or other official networks) connecting to and using illicit sites (psp-hacks being an obvious example, although it typically includes torrent sites and serial/crack/hack/warez sites too) then they reserve the right to restrict any service to you (in your case, PSN), even if you are paying them for the service.
Lesson to be learned: proxies are your best friend :D
i have re-uploaded popsloader now it includes all the pops firmwares so anyone who downloaded it previously re-download this one if you want them all.
http://www.realz2reelz.com/SEPLUGINS.rar
It was easier before. Now you have three different versions. What’s up with that? Are you deliberately trying to confuse us or what?
Thank you dark alex! Dream come true!
well actually i have release it as a scene release because on some sites it has to be in that format, since i spent all that time decrypting firmwares i wanted to put it in more places on on torrents so thats just the way they like it to be, its not 3 different versions its a winrar file thats split up info 3 part files 15M a piece and thats just the way scene releases want it, but it shouldnt really be that confusing, first extract seplugins.rar, then extract anyone of the 3 because they all contain 1/3 part of a single rar and then just copy the files to your seplugins folder
Does anyone have any idea why it’s not showing up in my plugins menu? Sorry I’m kinda a noob…
Ok, I’m definitely somewhat of a noob, but I downloaded from the link ShaggyZE provided (thnx). I’m loading from scratch.
1. Do I put the .rar files on the root of my memory stick or do I unrar each of the 3 .rar files and put the multitude of files located within those on the root of my memory? Sorry for the dumb question!
Nevermind, I see the SHaggyZE explained it above. Before I forget many many props to DAX…..you’re a genius.
Nevermind, I see the SHaggyZE explained it above. Before I forget many many props to DAX…..you’re a genius. With that being said, what else do I need to play ps1 games on my psp? Do I still need to use the psardumper if I have all the files in my seplugins folder on the root of my memory stick? Sorry for all the questions?
Nope the PSAR dumper is only used to get the popsloader up and running manually. Once those files are in your seplugins folder thats you sorted (well, once you enable the plugin through the recovery menu ;] )
Now ya just gotta get PS1 Eboots and put them into your GAME folder, BAM! PS1 games on the go!
no need to repost this, as you’re using the same host as previous post. may save people from re-downloading the same files and putting the same files back on their systems. nonetheless, awesome job posting this as this is the first time I’ve seen anyone do this work-saving group of pops files
i seems to have problem with that popsloader u have… i can play ps1 game im using 5.00 m33-3…… whats the solution about tis plz.. im aready dowloaded shaggyze popsloader… and i dont know why im still cannot play the ps1 game….. somebody plz help…im noob.. i dont know how to install it…
will this work at all on 5.00 M33-3? do I need any thing other than these prx files? do I also need the 1.50 kernel plugin I have not been able to play PS1 titles in forever also how can I get an eboot from an iso or bin cue files. I can see all my titles on the MS but when I try to load it says they are corrupt and I cannot select FW by holding R help pleeese
do u need this for 5.00m33-3 or did the update fix it
IS this homebrew for psp-3000? sorry im still noob in this thingy.
I have just purchased a slim psp with official psp firmware 3.95.I have read a lot of articles abt hacking the psp but they say you require pandora battery and magic memory card etc.The problem is where I live I dont have access to these things.Is there any way I can hack my psp to play downloaded games just by software.Waiting 4 ur replies.
To use PSARDumper Download it from the PSP hacks page there will be two files when you extract it new_psardumper and src files copy the new_psardumper file to your psp/game5xx file then it should work under the game category on the psp but before it will do anything you must download a firmware such as 4.01 also located on psphacks website then extract it and copy the eboot.pbp file to your root directory of your psp then run the psardumper under your psp game category and select decrypt all when it is done there will be a new F0 file in your psp root directory of the memory stick that is all the files you need follow directions from psp hacks when you downloaded thre popsloader 5.00 and copy and paste those files where it indicates you to. When you have put all the files you needed into seplugins/popsloader file delete the F0 file and the Eboot.pbp file
Help, I’ve installed everything correctly (I hope). But when I try to load a game I just end up getting stuck at the PS Logo. I’ve tried to hold down the R button but nothing happens.
I installed OFW V 5.50 before i found out about homebrew
Is it still possible for me to install CFW
(Or downgrade) or will i have to wait till the 5.50 OFW Has been cracked?
I’ll soon have a magic memory stick and Pandora Battery if that helps
I have a PsP-2000 Slim & Lite
I also have a psp slim that had 5.50. with the MM stick and the Pandora you can still go to CFW without any need to downgrade.
my domain name has expired so the link i posted above is broken, so anyone still wanting to save time you can download the latest pops firmwares here.
