It's been released separately now. I guess I'll finally switch from TN.Aru said:
Buckle up; this one's complicated.
I have a PSP 2003 which has been running ChickHEN for ages. I ripped a few games from (legit!) UMD to run on it; one of them was Little Big Planet. Played it extensively, unlocked many of the items.
I've recently purchased a second-hand PSP Go. It's been running TN on and off, I haven't yet experimented with PRO. It came with Little Big Planet installed. The previous owner had (sensibly!) wiped off his login data, but the license was intact.
For convenience, I'd like to run this copy of Little Big Planet over my UMD one - for whatever reason, the UMD one appears to crash under TN. PRO may be a solution to that, we'll see, but for now it makes sense to use the downloaded LBP instead. I've taken a copy of the license with the PSP License Manager mentioned earlier in the thread so I can switch to and from the license that LBP uses.
With me so far?
Now, I'm fond of LBP. To the extent of wanting to purchase DLC for it. However, any purchase of DLC I make will be through my PSN account and therefore licensed with a different license to that of LBP itself. Can I purchase or modify the purchased DLC in any fashion which would allow it to work with the downloaded version of LBP? If I have to stick with the ripped UMD version, that's *probably* fine (if the crashes are just TN playing up, at least), but the convenience of having it work without any CFW working is tempting (particularly if PSN ever gets tempted to add in a CFW check, at the moment that's worrying me a little)

Looks like a lot has happened in CFW land since I last updated. I'm on 5.50 Prom-4 on a PSP 1000. Do these new custom firmwares offer anything that's worth upgrading for (a 6.00 pops for instance) or should I just stay where I am?

Hello,
Does anyone here know if Project Diva: Dreamy Theater works with custom firmware, or do I need official firmware to connect to the game?

Did you convert it with POPstation? If so, it isn't the .iso anymore, it's the eboot.pbp. You take the converted eboot + folder IIRC and put it in /game/ only. It should run after that.
Post above me said:
...Zinga Burga's POPstation? Does no one read the rest of the thread before asking questions.
You NEED that to convert the .iso to EBOOT.PBP's for the PSP to run. If you don't have the .iso's yourself, well you need to research into ripping the PSX games yourself. I'm not sure about the legality of posting information like that on GAF.
Fox1304 said:Wasn't sure that there wasn't a way to run ps1 .isos directly so I asked
Would have saved some time to skip a step.
No there isn't. The PSX emulator is a Sony created emulator that requires Sony made formats to run. Standard .iso's won't run. It's the reason PSN store releases are straight .iso dumps converted to EBOOT.pbp's. You get their glitches and all.
Fox1304 said:
Correct. If not /psp/game, then /psp/game639 (or whatever firmware you have). It's been a while since I've done non-PSN store PSX games, but either of those folders should work. Otherwise you may need to futz about putting it in random /psp/gamexxx folders to get it to run. Google can give you a better more direct answer, but that's the gist.
Edit: Also with POPstation at any time you can just reconvert the eboot.pbp back to an .iso. Select the eboot.pbp in popstation where you generally select the .iso and click "convert to .iso" IIRC. No need to keep the .iso's after converted.
Also I'm not sure if the popstation naturally does multi-disc eboots, as I haven't used it in a while, but you may need to Google around for the multi-disc version if they didn't fold that into the main one.

[!]Fixed potential lag while displaying ISO movies

deim0s said:
I just installed it on my 2000 and I'm having problems. Most of my PS1 games won't load, no matter what Popsloader version I use. When they don't load, my system crashes. When they do load, the system crashes when I quit a game. After it crashes, the system won't restart unless I take my memory card out. Has anyone had that problem?

How so?
charlequin said:
I'm just having a lot of trouble getting games to play. Even games that worked on 5.50 Prometheus with the old Popsloader. For example, I've been playing Final Fantasy VIII for the last few days on 5.50 Prometheus-4. It's a custom converted Eboot. I could play it on Prometheus, but it won't even load with the new Popsloader, no matter what version I choose. That and all the crashing is making me want to downgrade. I'll probably do that tomorrow or whenever I'm not too lazy to do it.

Yeah, I just installed it now.
This is huge imo - because we are now able to use Pops up to 6.39 (we were previously limited to around 5.00 iirc), this greatly improves the odds that we might find fixes for the few PS1 games that have issues. If Jade Coccon can be fixed, I will die a happy man. Lots of testing ahead of us.
Just when I think PSP is settling down, it's news like this that brings me back. CFW and continued Japanese support are the reasons why I still play it 10x more than my 3DS, and why I don't feel i'll need a Vita for a long while.

Quick question: Is there a list of the best emulators and where to get them from?
After seeing I NEED SCISSORS's LADX pics I want to try out that GB Emulator.

There are a few available from the homebrewstore, so you can download them directly to your PSP.
I guess they must be some of the best if they are on the service.
What is HomebrewStore?
HomebrewStore is a digital marketplace for homebrew PSP content. This content ranges from games to applications to themes.
All of the content on the HomebrewStore, including the HomebrewStore itself can operate on any PSP unit from firmware 5.00 and up, no hacking required.
The HomebrewStore is free to use and does not alter the operation of your PSP unit in any way
You can access HomebrewStore from any mobile device running iOS!
Simply visit http://bit.ly/hbstore in your iOS device's internet browser and follow the directions given.
From the HBStore app you can view the entire HomebrewStore catalog and queue up to 3 titles for later downloading on a PSP device.

Quick question guys, i have had CFW 6.20 PRO B6 Permanent, now i have notice that 6.20 is the highest the Permanent version goes. What is the difference between the Permanent and the none Permanent versions of B8??
Ok installed CFW PRO B8 Permanent, and i still cant get Parasite Eve 2 to load, after the PSX logo i just get a black screen. Do i need to install some Popstation plugin or something or is it built into PRO B8 CFW??

This is a good list of emulators.
For Game Boy Color, I use Homer's RIN.

Why thank you good sir, I shall be trying out a few of these later today.I NEED SCISSORS said:
Would you recommend GPSPKai as the best GBA one? I'm currently using gpSP Mod and it seems good but I wouldn't mind switching if Kai is better.

So I made an EBOOT out of my old copy of Lunar Eternal Blue, but it goes to a black screen when I first go out to the fountain area in the Blue Spire after meeting Lucia (if I remember correctly this part triggers an FMV or something). Any possible fix for this? Using a PSP Go on 6.39 Pro-B7.
Macstorm said:
Yes, but you need another CFW PSP that is 1/2/3000 if you want to rip the UMDs yourself to use on the Go since the go has NO UMD drive.
pje122 said:
Not to be a jerk, but most of these questions can be found by Googling around a little bit. In fact, with the light CFW out there now, there is VERY little risk in terms of like the old days of downgrading and updating/flashing. You simply need a firmware and a HEN now that does most of what OE/M33/GEN did.
I'm around, and I read almost every comment.
I'm actually thinking about taking my long-neglected Go and actually doing something with it.
But quite honestly, I've been so happy with my 2000 at 5.50 Gen/Prometheus, I haven't felt particularly driven to tinker with the Go.
I'm not too keen on these "light" CFWs, and so haven't followed them too heavily.
Certainly not enough to answer questions directly about them.
If I ever do get around to messing with my Go, I'll likely revisit the OP with more relevant (though probably much less thorough) tutorials. No promises, though.

Could someone please remind me how to use CFW to play PSP games upscaled through my PC via USB?
I'm sure there was a thread that had a screenshot or two of FFI running through this kind of setup a few years ago. I've been Googling it but I'm starting to think I may have imagined it in a dream.
