Some PopStation GUIs to make your lives easier

You already know by now that the newest cream of the crop of the homebrew community, Dark_AleX's 3.02 OE-B now running your own Playstation games. The instructions on how to convert your PlayStation games to the POPS format are included in the popstation folder inside the 3.02 OE-B download. But let's say that despite all Dark_AleX's help, you're still stump on how to convert your PSX games to a playable format on your 3.02 OE-B?

This is the great thing about PSP homebrew scene today. Every dev just wanna help the community in any way they can. That's why two devs released two different apps that does the same thing - make POPSTATION more friendly to the uninitiated. These two apps are both PopStation GUIs - one was done by danny_kay1710, the other by Quake.

Let's start with danny_kay's version. Basically, it just provides a nice GUI for Dark_AleX's popstation.exe. As always, the dev provided an in-depth read me that comes with the download so you better catch up on your reading.

On the other hand, Quake's take on the PopStation GUI gig is recommended to be used inside the popstation folder on your desktop. You will still need all files to be in the same folder as the popstation.

At the end of the day, both apps give you the same result. It all boils down to which of the two you are more comfortable using. Download links are down there, read up, enjoy, and much thanks to the devs!

I like them both, but I think I like danny_kay1710's GUI best.

Hopefully dark_alex can somehow get either the PSX games working in the Devhooked 3.02 firmware, or perhaps even get 3.02 OE-B working with TA-082's.

Until then though, I will be unable to play them. But for now, I have all the files that are necessary to convert PSX games, and I am waiting with my fingers crossed.

Good luck dark_alex, were all behind ya!

# good for you — Illegal Machine 2006-12-25 21:24

what are you going to do at the end of disc 1 when it asks you to insert disc 2?

I'd really like to know what your plan is there

# ... — Guest 2006-12-25 21:29

If you are talking about the ISO's, you can just merge them.

# . — Guest 2006-12-25 21:46

when i try to convert ctr it just opens the black command screen prompt for a split second thenit closes. bad iso?

# Uh oh — Guest 2006-12-25 21:51

# Command Prompt Flicker? — Guest 2006-12-25 22:22

When I try to convert my ISO through danny's gui the command prompt flashes on screen for only the slightest moment then it disappears. Anybody know what the problem is?

# woot — Guest 2006-12-25 22:24

Thanks, it works perfectly~!

I wish someone would find a way so that we could edit the ICON0/PIC0/PIC1 after we've converted..

I've found some better background pictures for my games but it's such a pain to redo the whole process. T__T

~hopes~

For some reason the equal sign turned into a plus sign.

# cool — Guest 2006-12-25 23:15

# BASE KEYS — Guest 2006-12-25 23:45

where do i put the base.bin and the keys.bin to make it convert

# Bah — WarLord 2006-12-26 00:49

I tried them both, but I always end up getting 0kb eboots.

# Save. — Guest 2006-12-26 01:01

Save at the end of DISC 1, you can put ISO2 on there and load up the Save file to continue on with the game.

# I have a question... — Guest 2006-12-26 02:10

# YEAH GOT IT TO WORK — Guest 2006-12-26 06:29

THIS ONLY WORKS ON 3.02OE-B

so if u whant to play this get a PSP 1.5 and run 3.02OE-A AND THEN Update to 3.02OE-B

And dont worry u can go back to 1.5 if u dont like 3.02OE-B.( LoL 3.02OE-B works the same as 1.5 why go back to older. feel foolish to say it heh!)

1 . Get POPSTATION GUI by danny_kay1710 Beuse it takes IMG & ISO & BIN files.

Remember to place cygwin1.dll to c:\windows\syst em32\ ( its in the folders of POPSTATION GUI)

http://dl.qj.net/danny_kay-s-POPSTATION … /catid/151

2 . Get PSP - Hot Shots Golf 2

3 . TAke the EBOOT.PBP & KEY.BIN & DOCUMENT.DAT Files from the PSP - Hot Shots Golf 2 and place

them at the PSX GAmedirectory u whant to work on your PSP

4 . RENAME EBOOT.PBP to BASE.PBP

5 . NOW RUN POPSTATION GUI

Go to the PSX directory of the psx game u whant to convert(ISO or BIN or IMG file) after that push convert . it will take some time just wait.. when it says done go to next step.

6 . go now to the PSX directory where u have the game. u will now se

the psx game .iso or .Bin or .IMG

KEYS.BIN

BASE.PBP

DOCUMENT.DAT

# yeah — Shirou 2006-12-26 13:05

ICON0 : 144x80 PNG

PIC0 : 144x80 PNG (make it fully transparent or else it'll look ugly)

PIC1 : 480x272 / 300x170 PNG (sometimes the file is too big so I personally use 300x170)

# Can Anyone Help?? — BoltonUK 2006-12-26 13:53

I have downloaded hot shots 2 and renamed it to base.pbp but when i run popstation gui (dannykay) it says base.pbp cannot be found! Its placed in the folder where popstation is but it just says it cannot find it. I`d be very grateful if any of you guys could help.

# PLEASE HELP — BoltonUK 2006-12-26 14:22

I`VE DOWNLOADED HOTSHOTS2 AND RENAMED THE EBOOT TO BASE.PBP I HAVE PUT IT IN THE SAME FOLDER AS THE POPSTATION.EXE BUT WHEN I RUN THE PROGRAM IT CANNOT FOND BASE.PBP PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP I WOULD MUCH APPRECIATE IT

CHEERS

# ... — Guest 2006-12-26 14:32

I used Dannyk,s GUI and successfully created the EBOOT... but it wont work, i can excess the small option menu, screen size etc... but nothing loads, just a black screen... but it doesnt crash either.

Am from the land of PAL, ripped ISO with MAGIC ISO.

Just wondering is it because of the PAL region that this wont work? In the readme it mentions graphic glitches etc... but am just getting nothing.

# pal games — Guest 2006-12-26 14:35

Sony themselves have had an issue regarding pal psx emulation, if you want working stuff use NTSC versions... I'm English and have been playing ff7 US version all day :)

# Bubba — Guest 2006-12-26 14:49

Did you just download the FF7 EBOOT?

# Help` — Guest 2006-12-26 15:07

guys of psp fans. You are good people. and i need your support and help of how to convert psx games to psp and show me pics and all and send to my email or tell me through msn messanger pls. My email is andysinghusa@ho tmail.com and my aim is PunjabiThug002. please. what goes around comes around...

# a fix — Guest 2006-12-26 16:09

i think the problem with popstationgui not completing the compilation is that maybe the icon0.png, pic1.png, etc. may be too large. i think they must smaller than a specified size, i'm just not sure what that size is

# Command screen flickering — Guest 2006-12-26 17:13

You need to run you Command Prompt, I did it like this: copy your files; BASE.PBP(Eboot renamed from hotshots 2), KEYS.BIN, POPSTATION EXE and your iso. I copied all of this to c: Then just go to start>run and type in cmd. After that just trype in C: popstation YOURISOHERE.ISO

After that it will make your Eboot

PS. It also works with files .IMG

# ya me too — Guest 2006-12-26 18:25

i get the same message and i have everything there.

# help — Guest 2006-12-26 18:38

how do I download hot shots 2, do I need to have a PS3 to, can anyone post a link or add me on msn and send the key.bin and such to me

peterredfordroc ks@hotmail.com

# I need a Game Save... — Guest 2006-12-26 18:52

I made a Megaman Legends 2 eboot, and eveything works, its just when I start a new game, I think the flames crash the game, fmvs work, menu, tutorial, everything. How can I put a psone save on my PSP? and will it read it?

# dos — Guest 2006-12-26 20:37

Im fine with using CMD for now, its not that hard and its really quick if you rename the popstation stuff to something shorter and easier to type. I put the popstation folder in the directory that CMD always starts in, renamed the folder to "psp" and renamed popstation.exe to "run.exe." It doesnt take long to type "cd psp" then "run ff7.iso"

# Ok, so — Guest 2006-12-26 21:30

So what do you do when you're playing a game that's not ff7 that doesn't let you do that?

# that is the only thing i need — Guest 2006-12-27 00:16

I really RELLY need the hots hots 2 game, I got loads of games i want to play on my portable but cant can someone help me out?

AJT2712@hotmail.com

# What the f*ck? — Guest 2006-12-27 04:09

Easier in what f*cking way?

Was it hard to type in "popstation.exe file.iso"

in the CMD in the first place?

This is just taking more time.

# . — Guest 2006-12-27 04:12

If a game doesn't let you do that, it wouldn't even work on the PS1.

Stop thinking with your ass.

# . — Guest 2006-12-27 04:15

Or you could just make a bat file which has "popstation.exe file.iso" written in it, and you wouldn't have to move around stuff.

# maxboyz159@hotmail.com — Guest 2006-12-27 06:06

i got digimon how i get the key bin thing how i get that all i got is the ps1 digimon bin and image how i get the key bin.....maxboyz159@hotmail.com someboday can you talk to me to tell me how to get the key plz

# help me too — Guest 2006-12-27 07:57

i have the same problem, helps plwease T_T

# LookingForIcons — Guest 2006-12-27 11:37

Hey, does any one know any place to get the icons and pic files to replace the Hot Shots ones? I'm not an artist so really can make my own. I said the vidoes of FF7, which is the one I am playing, and would like those pictures or others. Just something that is more fitting for that game, or others as well. I am sure I will convert some others later... Thanks in advance...

# GREAT! — Guest 2006-12-27 21:52

Holy Moly! This ***** works great!! I'm playing Harvest Moon, Crash Bandicoot and other psx games on psp with full speed, yay^^

# Rename it — Guest 2007-01-02 16:40

rename the file to "base" base.pbp includes .pbp along with the inplied .pbp on the file. So your way you end up with (to the system) base.pbp.pbp

# help — Guest 2007-01-08 10:31
