3.02 POPS on 3.03 OE plugin

3.03 OE

Homebrew hero Dark_AleX released a tool to make your 3.03-ified PSP more fit for your needs. This plugin is used to load 3.02 PSX emulator on 3.03 OE.

Before you start ripping your hair out saying that this is a bit redundant because 3.03 has a better-working emulator than 3.02, remember in some cases this isn't quite so. You might want to try loading certain games using the 3.02 emu.

Instructions:

Copy seplugins to the root of your memory stick.
Using some of the latest psardumpers, extract the 3.02 firmware with the option of the button X.
Once done, copy the following files from /F0/kd to /seplugins/pops302: meaudio.prx, mesg_led.prx,
pops.prx and popsman.prx.
Enter in recovery menu, and enable pops302ld.prx plugin if you want to load 3.02 emulator.
Run the game. It will run with 3.02 psx emulator.
Whenever you want to use again the 3.03 emulator, just disable the plugin from recovery menu.

As much as a god he is, Dark_AleX still came across certain problems. He reports that test with Castlevania SotN had some unusually high activity in the memory stick. The issue here isn't that the PRX is in the memory stick (because it's loaded quickly onto the RAM). However, he does say that this "high activity" didn't happen with the game not compressed and neither in 3.03 compressed.

He says it could be a problem with the different modules or quite simply a core issue with 3.02. Dark_Alex is still not sure if this SotN issue affects other games and suggests you might want to use uncompressed games to slow down the "high activity."

The games icon and everything appears, and the warning screen loads up, but then all I get is a black screen. I copied all the prx correctly and double checked them. I made sure I enable the plugin by going into Recovery. I used the japanese 3.02 update eboot though. Is that the problem? Can FF7 still be at compression 9, or do I have to uncompress it? Bah, it's annoying.

# none — Guest 2007-01-13 06:11

if ur using 3.02's pops then it needs to be uncompressed. only 3.03 supports compressed psx games.

# .. — Guest 2007-01-13 06:17

hmm, Im not so sure about that.

Suikoden2 works fine compressed for me on 3.03 using the 3.02 plugin.

I guess then that only some compressed games are supported ?

# moo — Guest 2007-01-13 06:35

try it uncompressed and let us know.. also did it work before on 3.03? might just be a crap image ;)

# resident evil — Guest 2007-01-13 06:42

does this work on resident evil 2 or 3

# comment — Guest 2007-01-13 06:55

What does this do exactly?

# +) — Guest 2007-01-13 07:01

Some games that worked on 3.02 POPS were reported not to work on 3.03 POPS.

# Still can't get FF7 to work. — Guest 2007-01-13 07:09

I tried an uncompressed ff7 iso and it didn't work. I also downloaded the 3.01 update and copied the 4 prxs from that, but I still got a black screen after the warning screen. I know it's not the iso because it played when I had 3.02OE. I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

# . — Guest 2007-01-13 07:22

it runs psx iso's on 3.03 OE using 3.02's psx emulator files, or a few of em or anythin..

# Location free — Guest 2007-01-13 07:29

Ever since I moved to 3.02 my Location free has not worked. I don't think that this has been addressed. I thought that they might have addressed it in the 3.03 updates... Will this fix it?

# You`re outta luck buddy — Guest 2007-01-13 07:31

DAX took LocationFree out of his 3.02/3 OE`s to save space on the ram. Your only hope is for someone to make a prx to load from Recovery Mode

# Location Free — Guest 2007-01-13 07:36

It's not a Big deal. Too bad that it can't all fit into the Ram. There should be a version that removes the Remote instead of the Location free. Still it is there to surf the internet off of it.

# agreed — Guest 2007-01-13 07:45

I know exactly what you mean. It's the reason I've been staying on 3.02

# uh... — Guest 2007-01-13 07:52

downgrade to 2.71 SE C if u want it so bad....

itz ur call

# location free — Guest 2007-01-13 07:54

theres actually a mod of the firmware that puts the location free back into it, or failing that just use devhook

# Black Screen — Guest 2007-01-13 08:30

I get exactly the same black screen fault. I've also double checked the prx's, tried running them through decrypter, redownloaded the 3.03 firmware and repeated the whole process... also tried remaking the eboots uncompressed using the very first popstation, but no joy. I've tried Silent Hill and RE 2 +3 all which worked fine on the original 3.02OE and 3.03OE but they just black screen on the plugin.

# I meant redownloaded 3.02 — Guest 2007-01-13 08:35

not 3.03 like I said above.

# DOH! — Guest 2007-01-13 08:58

Got it to work. You just need to make sure you select X when using psardumpar as it said in the release notes! I think this is because it needs to run the sigcheck to work on your PSP. The confusing thing for me was that the release notes for psardumper 300 stated you must use the circle button!

# wicked — ultragoregrind 2007-01-13 10:40

this is TOO cool. i wonder if this opens up the possibility of *later* popstation revs if for some reason sony does something to halt the custom firmware (ie- no 3.04oe or whatever)

# Run From DevHook — Guest 2007-01-13 10:42

If you need it really badly, install DevHook and run 2.82 from there.

Then you get all the features of the default firmware

# ? — Guest 2007-01-13 11:08

Well my Mortal Kombat Triliogy was working on 3.02oe but when I upgraded to 303oe it was not working so this mod will make it work again. Only problem is that you need 302 on your memory stick so its taking up more space.

# Anybody have this problem — Guest 2007-01-13 11:12

Resident evil 3 hangs when i try to enter the door after the hospital explosion scene.....

# prolly... — Guest 2007-01-13 11:23

but we all know that will only spur dark alex on and he'll overcome that obstacle like he always does...

# HALP — Guest 2007-01-13 11:47

Hey guys I'm having trouble with this step:

#2 Using some of the latest psardumpers, extract the 3.02 firmware with the option of the button X.

I have the 3.02 EBOOT and the psardumper but I don't know where to put the 3.02 EBOOT. Whenever I load the psardumper it says that it cannot find DATA.PSAR in the PSP's root, and I don't know where this DATA.PSAR comes from o_O

Can anyone help?

# A nice SOTN Bug — Guest 2007-01-13 12:52

Hey guys, anyone who's playing Castlevania SOTN, just test this out: Equip Shield Rod + Leather Shield, trigger its spell (B, BD, D, FD, F + square and circle), then equip any other shield of your choice. Wait until the animation is gone, then try doing the other shield spell.

On my PSP, it will freeze, and then reboot after 15 seconds or so. Could anyone else try this? I'm using the 3.03 OEB.

What would happen in the PSX?

# yes — Guest 2007-01-13 12:57

yeah,there is a bug wth shield rod and a shiled,sadly

(btw, wasnt it just left hand+right hand (cuz i used R as right hand-more comfortable) ,without "B, BD, D, FD, F " ? just two hands - and the thing work

# Oh rly? — Guest 2007-01-13 13:07

Gotta try that. Always did the half circle stuff. How lame. (Maybe that's why it kept shooting that little star thingy)

# reply — Guest 2007-01-13 16:29

I used pspbrew and extracted the data.psar from there. I don't think it matters where you put the eboot, but i would place it in the game folder

# OH GOOD — Guest 2007-01-13 16:33

I was going to ask if this fixed that! xD great, I was getting annoyed by that

# Yes FF7 compressed works! — Guest 2007-01-13 18:26

Mushroom, you're right. When I used psardumper thing, I hit Square instead of X.

It also runs FF7 at Compression 9. The battle swirl is fixed, but the little picture box at the bottom left screen with the enemy is obviously still there though because this is 3.02. 3.02 plays FF7 better than 3.03 anyway. Glad I finally got it to work :)

# Noob — Guest 2007-01-13 23:24

Im a noob on these things if anyone got time to help me a little I would be glad.

# A Lil Help :D — Guest 2007-01-14 05:33

I Seriouslly dont know where to extract it... like the exact folders ;S.. anyone help.. Thanks just post here

# Got it. — Guest 2007-01-14 06:18

Thanks D_A! Perfect firmware now!

# FF8 — Guest 2007-01-14 22:08

=( Will this fix that bug when the game freezes in the com tower in FF8? Also Front Mission 3 keeps on freezing during battles

# Chrono Cross — Guest 2007-01-15 04:09

Chrono Cross had a bug in 3.03 where if you went to the main menu and tried to check the "Status" of any characters, it would freeze. With 3.02 Pops, it now works perfectly!

-ben

# BUT — Guest 2007-01-15 13:47

but chronocross had a bug on 3.02 also,when you press []-the item menu is invisible-s it also fixed?

# wtf — Guest 2007-01-16 19:30

I have run the psardumper, press X botton, put the the meaudio.prx, mesg_led.prx,

pops.prx and popsman.prx files in the ms0:/seplugins/pops302 folder, enable the plugin... And im trying to play "Armored Core Formula Front Extreme Battle" and nothing just a black screen...

3.02OE and 3.03OE cant run this game... im so *****UP

Hope some new update fixe this problem.... :'(

# Flashing? — Guest 2007-01-18 18:53

Will this flash my psp everytime I replace the pops?

# FF9 HELP!!! — Guest 2007-01-22 07:16

I had 3.02 OE-B and converted my FF9 discs but they wouldnt play, i then upgraded to 3.03 OE-B and its the same problem! I know how to play psx games via the psp using 3.03 OE-B as im playing FF7 right now, please help me FF9 is my favourite game of all time!!!!!!!!!

# CWCheat REV G for POPSTATION Problem — Guest 2007-01-23 07:35

I have a little problem and I want to know if anyone else has experienced this as well. When I try to use this plugin along side of CWCheat I run into a problem. The file "pops.txt" is used by both the cwcheatpops.prx and by pops302ld.prx. Is there a way around this or am I screwed? I tried making a new .txt file to no avail. I then tried adding a second line to posp.txt and that as well did not work. Please help.

# Black screen — Guest 2007-02-01 12:12

I try to load Suikoden, then the warning screen comes, then just blackness :(

I have 3.02 OE-B and didn't enter anything on the PSX2PSP compression thing as per required for my firmware, so I suppose the compression level is 0. Any ideas though?:(

Thanks in advance :)

# popstation plugin — Guest 2007-02-12 06:52
