Popstation - for Linux and Mac users

Posted Dec 28, 2006 at 2:05PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: Linux, Mac OS X, psp homebrews, Sony

So why should the apple and the penguin be left out of the POPS madness? Linux and Mac">tinmanx got busy with his skillz, banged up some code, and here we go, two new Popstations that work on Linux and Mac OS X. Because why should (ahem, "name of OS publisher that's also a rival to Sony in the console department") Windows hoard all the PSP homebrew fun? (Yeah, really, why should they?)

tinmanx says that "you might need to 'chmod 777' the file to run it, but it's been tested for both OS's and works." Other than that, he also hopes to produce a PowerPC version soon. Beyond that, however... tinmanx offers no further details on what to do with these files. A question from a Mac user noted that the Mac file was "obviously" a terminal app, but he doesn't know how to proceed from there. Hopefully tinmanx will get on line at the forum or in the comments to offer some help.

Zip file below contains two more zip files, each appropriately labelled as the file for Linux or Mac.

hiya everybody,

tried the terminal for MacOSX, but simply doesn't seem to work.

Made an ISO from my Final Fantasy VII (with the help of Toast, made first a Toast-file and renamed it as ISO file, is that correct?) and put it in the same folder as the terminal.

Which codelines do you have to enter?

What does "chmode 777" mean?

thx and greetz

p.s.: where do the files go then? In the Game150 folder?

Phew, you really need to learn about your Mac a bit more.

In Terminal, cd to the directory you placed the popstation file and run the command:

chmod 777 popstation

This sets its permissions to Read/Write/Execute for everyone.

That will then allow you to run the program from the Terminal using a line such as:

./popstation ff7.iso

Hope this helps,

Lemmy.

To easily chmod on your mac, use this program:

http://www.gideonsoftworks.com/filexaminer.html

Dowload link is at the bottom of the page.

Once downloaded, double click the program, say "Don't activate" on the 2 messages.

Then go to: Info > Get info and choose the popstation terminal command thingy

Then a window appears, press command (apple logo key on keyboard) + 2 and then set all permissions to: read, write, execute and hit apply.

That's All :)

Hiya Lemmy and Artik,

thanks for the help. Got a Mac since 20 years but never used the Terminal. And of the "chmod 777" I never heard of it.

greetz and viva psp!

Big Respect for Dark_Alex. Brilliant work!

# "BASE.PBP is not a PBP file." — Guest 2006-12-29 22:50

Sorry everybody.

I tried everything but I always get this message "BASE.PBP is not a PBP file.".

I'm using the Hot Shots 2 game. Changed the name of the EBOOT.PBP to BASE.PBP, but the popstation seems to have a problem.

"./popstation ffvii.iso

Writing header...

BASE.PBP is not a PBP file."

The base.pbp which I am using is 143.7 MB big.

Does anybody have an idea what problem I have?

# yo yo yolk! — Guest 2006-12-30 01:35

i have the exact same porb is it suppoed to be lower case?

# Tried big case/small case/everything — Guest 2006-12-30 03:09

Tried every possible option (all big case, all small case,...), but always the same error log.

The Eboot is HotShots 2 Emu for PSP. Tried it out, works fine, just doesn't seem to work as a BASE.PBP.

Am trying out with another version of HotShots, have heard of the same problem on other sites, but no solution yet.

# It Works Perfectly — Guest 2006-12-30 11:03

It worked, i just put all the files in it and, well check it for yourself:

sinister@sinist er-laptop:~/Desktop/popstation$ ls

Asteroids.bin BASE.PBP Final Fantasy Origins popstation script.sh

sinister@sinist er-laptop:~/Desktop/popstation$ ./popstation *.bin

Writing header...

Writing sfo...

Writing icon0.png...

Writing pic0.png...

Writing pic1.png...

Writing DATA.PSP...

Writing iso header...

Writing indexes...

Writing iso...

Writing special data...

Done.
