Zanac X Zanac = Works (NTSC-J)

Very fun old-school shooter, seems to have no problems at all ^_^

[RE_T-Virus]

Has anyone tried Overblood yet? I haven't found my copy to test right now. Overblood for the people who might of never heard about it, its a little like Resident Evil with Metal Gear elements.

It starts off with a guy waking up from cryogenic sleep in a deserted lab. The alarm is going off and its freezing. You have to quickly find a jacket before you die from hypothermia there is even a bar to show you how much time you have left. After that you'll meet up with this little robot you get to control and switch around during game play, and later find different kind of weapons, solve puzzles, and encounter zombie like creatures. I never got to beat the game so thats all I really know/remember about it and supposedly there is even a sequel to it.

If anyone has tried it, does it work well on the PSP's emulator?

[zero10999]

I've been trying everything I possibly can to get this to work but I just can't figure it out, so I'm asking for help. I know its probably something obvious but I can't find anything wrong. The GUI says that everything is perfect and transfers without a problem. On PSP, the game appears to be Hotshots Golf 2 (as expected) but comes up with an Error Code 80000004 when trying to launch (doesn't even get to the game). It has done this exact same thing for both games (Crash Bandicoot 2 and Threads of Fate (both NTSC U)) I have tried. No tutorial has mentioned this and I just can't think of what to do...anyone have any idea??

[chirotob]

*NEW* You can fix working-non-working games by opening the image in isobuster and resaving it to another format *NEW*

Can someone explain this? What do you convert the image to? Obviously it starts life as an iso(I'm assuming) but what do you convert it to so that it works? Thanks in advance.

[mrch1ppy]

ZER0========= have updated to oe-b??

Chirotob============ you have to convert to .pbp file using popstation

[mrch1ppy]

Kula world PAL
Works great

some graphic glitches (ok when nstc patched)

[mrch1ppy]

Tony hawks 3 PAL

works but graphics messed up bad (even when nstc patched)

[mrch1ppy]

One thing I will ask is even when ive nstc patched them, they still have a bit of the top missing??

Does anyone know if I can fix this its not that bad but would be nice to have 100%
:confused:

[zero10999]

ZER0========= have updated to oe-b??

Yeah I've updated to OE-B...everything seems right. I'm gonna try changing the iMG to a different format (BIN I guess), and seeing how that works. I'll post again with what happens later.

[evaconcept]

chalk up another...

Thunderforce V - Perfect System (NTSC) = works perfectly

fantasticly overlooked game. there used to be loads of art for it ont he web... can't find much ATM, but will lob some PNG's up if I find decent source images..

[Metalmurphy]

Street Fighter Plus EX 2 = Freezes on the Bonus Stage (NTSC JAP)

[apcarr]

Tomb Raider NTSC & PAL both crashed after starting a new game for me.
Tomb Raider II PAL not working either...Damn I love Tomb raider too hope the emu gets an update for these games....

[j4p]

i tried Catlevania SOTN, and it's working fine, until you find the first teleport in the outer wall, use it, and go back to the wall...
at this point, the game crashes...

someone else noticed this?I've completed the game yesterday (198.1% map completion btw) and didn't notice any problem at all - the game works perfect!

I only would like to have the ability to stretch the in-game-screen vertically, so that it would fill the entire screen in "full view" mode (but that's something only Sony could do).

[darknight88]

dont know if my games were put on the list but here are my results:

Jade Cocoon = works fine (NTSC USA)
Test Drive 6 = works fine (NTSC)
Internal Section = works fine (NTSC JAP)
Crash Bash = works fine (NTSC)

[Ooops]

Star Ocean2 is reported in the list as"crash after intro" but mine (NTSC-U) doesn't, I was able to save at first save point outside the village.

Destruction Derby Raw NTSC-U works but is quite laggy, even with the PSP clocked at 333.
Dino Crisis 1 (NTSC-U), Tactics Ogre (NTSC-U), Vandal Hearts 2 (NTSC-U) work too.

[markiemannie]

Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer (PAL) works: Use the crack from B.A.D.
It glitches a little bit, because it's PAL.
The original CD had bad sectors (due to the crack) but if you rip it with isobuster, you should be fine.
EDIT: Very bad sound in the first movie when Spyro is teleported, but after that: Everything is perfect!
EDIT2: The ingame sound is OK, but the sound in the movies is very, bad.
Just skip all those movies.

[thepspgamer]

Here is what i have tested so far-

Klonoa-Door to Phantomile (NTSC); Runs Perfectly
Final Fantasy 8 (PAL)- Runs Perfectly, Randomly Crashes, but Great otherwise
SoulBlade (PAL)- Runs Perfectly
Speed Freaks (PAL)-Runs Perfectly
South Park Rally (PAL)-Runs Perfectly, but has no background music and you are forced to skip intro as it crashes if you dont
Klonoa Beach Volleyball (PAL)-Runs Perfectly
Ehrgiz (PAL)-Runs Perfectly
Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3 (NTSC) -Runs Perfectly

All Converted From ISO's and Ripped from PSX Collection and Patched with Zapper2000

[sony154]

can i get some confirmation about GTA 1 not working?

[romuloarpini]

Is ff7 really freezing in costa del sol? :(

[driftprince86]

I tested Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix (J). It boots up the PS logo, then after it, it stays black, but able to press home and exit.

[RageKage14]

Has anyone else played to Costa del Sol in Final Fantasy VII?

[damitzsean]

FF7 disc 1 freezes when in costa rica in the bar
happened 3 times, will try to find solution
greatest hit version

i have no problem because i'm at temple of the ancients right now

[Sephiroth87]

I've completed the game yesterday (198.1% map completion btw) and didn't notice any problem at all - the game works perfect!

I only would like to have the ability to stretch the in-game-screen vertically, so that it would fill the entire screen in "full view" mode (but that's something only Sony could do).

mhm...
maybe i'll try going another way and see what happens...

[ytsejam]

Test Drive 6 = WORKS (NTSC)
NFL Blitz 2000 = WORKS (NTSC)
Martian Gothic: Unification = WORKS (NTSC)
MDK = WORKS (NTSC)
ONE = DOES NOT WORK (NTSC) freezes at initial copyright screen

[firstadam2k]

hey darknight88 how far have you played jade cocoon my rip freezes in the same place in the dragonfly forest.

[Wazz]

Dizney Tarzan = Works Fine A few Sound problems(NTSC)

[Ooops]

Wipeout 3 (NTSC-U) works except soundtrack (multissession disk).
Wipeout 2 (NTSC-U) crashes atfer intro (2nd blue loading screen), skipping the intro doesn't help.

[Sudds]

Tomb Raider Revelation, Tomb Raider 3 (PAL) doesnt work.

[bhytre]

Does anyone have an idea why Parasite Eve 2 keeps freezing at the intro screen? Could it be fixed if you rip out the movie files from the game?

[johnhummel]

Does anyone have an idea why Parasite Eve 2 keeps freezing at the intro screen? Could it be fixed if you rip out the movie files from the game?

Is that a multi-track CD? If so, that may be the problem - so far, Popstation doesn't know how to handle multiple track CD's, but I'm not sure.

[mrch1ppy]

Yeah I've updated to OE-B...everything seems right. I'm gonna try changing the iMG to a different format (BIN I guess), and seeing how that works. I'll post again with what happens later.



I been using alcohol 120% works great for me.

Good luck !!!!!!!

Also try changing the config option in the recovery menu to 1.50 kernel for some reason i coulnt get it working till i had done this.

[blackrave]

Dino Crisis = Loads, but doesn't get past the "This game contains scenes of explicit violence and gore" screen (PAL).
Pandemonium = Works, but some meaningless graphical glitches and a little screen misplacement (PAL).

Awesome list, thank you everyone for reporting! :)

By the way, PopStation can handle multi-track images, but the extension .iso cannot. UltraISO, the program I use for making my images, warns me when I try making .iso files of multi-track discs, and then makes the file a .bin instead (which seems to be compatible with multi-track discs). Hope that clears up a bit.

[h4zmat]

Twisted Metal 4 = works (NTSC-U)

sound is a little bit odd though, sounds fuzzy, but itis barely noticable.

[chirotob]

Chirotob============ you have to convert to .pbp file using popstation

not sure if my question was clear enough. In his edit, I am assuming he is saying to open a non-working game in isobuster. By that I further assume that the user has already tried to properly convert(or has already properly converted a number of games with save correction) PS1 games to the pbp file, and this particular game "X" does not work. I'm assuming now that I would need to open the iso file with isobuster, unless I'm missing something and isobuster can open the pbp file and I didn't know it.

Now what I need to know is what format do you save the file as once open in isobuster? I'm guessing isobuster won't convert to a pbp file, so again I assume that you need to save it as an iso file, which is exactly where you started to begin with.

Any further help is appreciated...and thanks again for the time.

[elifecyber]

Tomba crashes when cutscenes play, can't get past the fog movie. :mad:

[mauler]

add wwf in your house-usa ntsc (works perfectly) and clock tower-usa ntsc (not tested deeply, this is a long game):)

I just copy the original with alcohol 120% into iso like you said, then you use popstation with the files from the hotshots ie........ keys.bin & base.php (renamed) from the eboot of hotshots golf (ps1)

This converts iso into eboot.php (of the game you have used) then all you have to do is put keys.bin & eboot.php into the game folder.

Hope this helps

[Bijoruku]

sorry I just read in another thread so just play on !:D

[Drucifer]

I heard reports that Final Fantasy IX has been crashing after a few hours into the game. Is there anyone here playing through it that can let me know where they are and how long they have been playing if they haven't had it crash yet?

[lunasicc]

Fist of the North Star (PAL) stays at a black screen after third boss battle.

[Wakutan]

[brianfast]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 = Works, graphical glitches (NTSC)

[bigdaddie]

Dead or Alive Pal, converted with y-fix, intro movie plays slow, inside the game you have the option to adjust screen. BGM doesn´t work. Game plays fine :)

Strider 2 [NTSC] - works perfect

[neverm1nd]

Gex = working (NTSC - U)

(weird startup though, it kinda freezes right before the playstation logo but give it a sec and it'll start up. I dont know if its because I used psx2psp.exe instead of popstation.exe this time, maybe)

I'll release icons soon ;0

[Kettenhund]

C - The Contra Adventure [NTSC] - Works but there are some graphics missing after the 2nd Boss of Stage 1. Didn't play longer.

[zero10999]

I'm the one with the 80000004 error and I have tried all suggestions from every forum I can find, but still nothing. I tried updating again to OE-B just to be sure, still nothing. Tried converting the IMG to BIN and ISO formats before converting to EBOOT; still didn't work. Tried all forms in all folders and all in both 1.50 Kernel and 3.02. Nothing has worked and they all give the exact same error. I just don't know what to do and it doesn't seem like anyone else has this problem. *sigh*

[romuloarpini]

"Final fantasy 9 crashes, when garnet and steiner are at Bohden station (a few hours into disc 1).

I tried it many time the screen goes black.


Here is my game save if you want to test it yourself:

I saw this on gamefaqs, can someone confirm it?

[leonsceco]

Running Wild Works - NTSC - Full Speed

Get the Key.bin file from Hot Shots Golf 2
Put in the same directory as your eboot or replace the one of the game you trying to play.

If it is a converted image, grab the latest version of IsoBuster wherever you can, you should know how to get it, open the image file, right click on session 1, Click on "Extract Session 1 <image>" click on RAW (*.bin, *.iso) and save the file as iso, then convert it with popstation.

Hope that helps, I was having same problem as you, also make sure you have the latest verision of Cygwin or later than june 2k6.

Peace out
I'm Loving This!!!

[Grimspoon]

Tactics Ogre = Works (NTSC)

[xshot]

Destruction Derby Raw = Works, Menu graphic glitches (PAL)

i cannot get the sound to work. i have tried alcohol 120 and isobuster.

[Marissa]

Clone cd. Try that.

[brianfast]

Someone else needs to take control of this thread. The guy who started it is way behind.

[someguy222]

Croc 2 = Works (PAL) :)

[lupin]

Wait Im sorry there are 55 pages did the new things work for Resident Evil 2? IE saving the ISO to a new format/hammering the start button? I just love RE2 it is the second best title imho in the RE franchise. TIA

[aniMAXXX]

Hi, I m using TA-082 PSP, @3.02 OE-B (Formerly 2.71).
all works perfect thx to Dark_Alex.

but for some reason, the popstation doesn't.
i converted the game(s) ISO to PBP all good, but when loading
all games after the screen-full-of-white-texts, it goes black-screen.
still can hit HOME and see the menu for screen size/manual etc. but not the game.

tried KOF 99, Megaman Legends I&II,Star Ocean,FFIX.(all NTSC) no use.

wat am i doing wrong or missing?

EDIT* Tried kernel 1.5/3.02, hammering start/etc btns. no use.

[Xandrax]

Legend of Legaia (NTSC) is NOT working. It loads but when you go into the first training battle to progress the story, the game locks up and you can't do anything.

[proudheart]

Xenogears appears to work, but the sound quality is horrible. I'm getting tons of static. Anybody else?

Hi, are you using Weltall's cwcheat are other SE plugins?
Disable it and try again.
It seems like it is causing all the trouble with the sound.
I had the same Problem with Xenogears, Wild Arms 2 and some other Games and this worked for me.

[mrch1ppy]

Have you got the hotshots golf to work? Or is it just the 1s you are making?

All i can think of is to try diff stuff to the config like "no umd" etc.....

you are putting the key.bin in the same folder as the eboot?

Good luck m8 im dont think i can really help you n e more (gutted) I hope you sort this.

[Quixote]

I have experienced one crash while playing Castlevania SOTN. I have only been playing for a few hours, and the crash happened at the outer wall. I think that even if these infrequent crashes happen the game is still quite playable (for now, more to follow as I progress further through the game)

[Treyarch]

Update to my Final Fantasy VIII post earlier. The game completly locks up on Gronaldo Boss fight in the training center. This is not a random lock up, it always crashes the game, there's no way to get pass this point (for me anyway).
I would mark this game as 'not playable'.

[PSP Rookie]

I don't know if this has been posted all ready but Gran Turismo 2 NTSC works full speed perfect and everything:D

[quetz67]

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis hangs when going through the door from the parking lot area back to the police station area...can anyone confirm this? Maybe I need a different version?

[Teebor]

SpeedBall 2100 - Can't get it working with PAL version, tried converting to NTSC and didn't work either.

Black screen after disclaimer thing, start button mashing didn't help either :( but can quit out using home button

*****EDIT******

I lied, my first ISO was nerfed somehow, working a treat now with the fourth ISO I created :/

[Sephiroth87]

that happened to me too...
for now, i took another route avoiding to go back to the outer wall, and it didn't crashed anymore...

I don't use any tools conversion, it's the original format of my isos.

[Stroker Ace]

Silhouette Mirage - NTSC

Jp/US doesn't seem to work.

[markiemannie]

Metal Gear Solid VR Missions (PAL with zapper2k to NTSC) cracked by KWC works perfectly!
Not a single glitch.

[zero10999]

Okay I'm still trying. lol. I did have the KEYS.bin in the same folder and everything...I'm pretty sue its either a problem with 3.02 OE-B or just the way I'm converting them. I'm gonna try what leonsceco said and just keep trying. I'll get it eventually.

[Wazz]

bugs bunny and taz - time busters (NTSC) = Working

[thepspgamer]

does anybody know how to get FF8 (PAL) working, as everything I try it, it only shows the playstation logo and then a black screen.

does anybody have any ideas how to get this working?

the reason it dosent load is it has protection on the disk thats why it refuses to boot, i had the same problem

go to http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_patches.shtml, and goto the f section and find the PAL FF8 protaction fix, apply it to the iso and then make into an eboot file, it should work a treat then (im lovin it):D

[quetz67]

Duke Nukem - Total Meltdown (NTSC) - Works with serious texture issues for me

[fusionx]

Nightmare Creatures NTSC - Works 100% Great Speeds

[NSCXP]

thepspgamer, it works fantastic, but the screen is not aligned right. there is a thick black line at the top, any ideas on how I can fix this?

[xk8]

Dino Crisis NTSC works 100%

[zero10999]

Okay, at least I now know what the problem is. I'm doing something wrong with OE-B; not the ISOs. Because Hot Shots Golf 2 doesn't even work by itself (same error). I read somewhere else that Error 80000004 means you either have custom fonts, gameboots, debranding, or a modchip. But I'm pretty sure I don't have any of those. I must have done something wrong in the settings of OE-B but I checked and everything is default...hmm

80000004 - wrong save file data

[doomgaze_86]

i tried Catlevania SOTN, and it's working fine, until you find the first teleport in the outer wall, use it, and go back to the wall...
at this point, the game crashes...

someone else noticed this?

Umm I'm not sure if I'm at the right point of the game, but I found the very first teleport in the outer wall which took me to some place near the beginning of the castle(where you met Death at the start). I teleported back to the outer wall but everything was fine, except there was now a lot of mist.

It might be a bad iso dump?

[Nobunaga]

Anyone here having some lag in FF9 when walking in the cities? Perhaps it's just me.

[KatanaPL]

It's normal on PSP when playing FF IX. The emu is just not optimized for this game. But the lag is not biig, the game runs just little slower (1-2 frames slower but still visible)

Is anyone else having trouble with MediEvil (NTSC-U) ?
Mine freezes at the Playstation logo.

[zero10999]

80000004 - wrong save file data

...Thank you beyond all reason person who posted this. That made me realize that, after all this time and all the stuff I did, this was happening because of a save data file. When I was first installing OE-B I put a PSX save data file in my savegame folder to test something...and I forgot to delete it. Its funny how such weird problems always have such simple, make-me-feel-like-an-idiot solutions. Thanks again everyone, works great now.
And I can verify Threads of Fate (NTSC U) works great. :D

[MrViewtiful]

Does Tomba US versions work or only the PAL version (Tombi)??

Also to add, Strider2 NTSC and Duke Nukem Time to Kill NTSC work as well..
Also Blasto NTSC and Disneys Hercules NTSC both work.


Oh and BTW you have Hokuto no ken NTSCj as working but it freezes after you kill the guy with the eye patch the screen just stays black and music plays... similar to the problem in Resident Evil 2.

[Sephiroth87]

at random intervals mist appears, its natural. not a bad dump

mhm, so maybe is the mist that made my game crash...
right now i'm far away from the outer wall, i'll see when i'll get there again...

[Ahmed_p800]

This is my list:

Test drive 5----WORKS

FF9----WORKS

Mortal kombat (SUB ZERO)----WORKS

Crash team racing----WORKS

All NTSC

[SonyUSA]

Star Ocean 2 (Second Story) NTSC does work, im playing it right now with no problems. It is an NTSC rip I made myself not too long ago, I think the other guy just had a bad rip or something. Please update the list I would hate for another SO2 lover to see that and get discouraged :)

I just past the first battle in Shingo Forest with no issue. Saving works and the emulation is smooth and fast... only problems are the semi-glitchy sound that most games have with the pops emulator right now :D

[Ahmed_p800]

Anyone here having some lag in FF9 when walking in the cities? Perhaps it's just me.

Yeah,I have noticed that

Thats the reason I stopped playing it

[SonyUSA]

I also forgot to mention that the sound in FF7 is FAR from perfect. POPS, like in most games, has an annoying chirp during the FMV's. This is blatantly apparent in the opening video where its a starscape. All you should hear is a soft breeze as it pans around to look at the stars. Also, as with most emulators, the sounds that the characters make when they hit the enemies in battle is fudged up. Clouds sword doesnt have that meaty slicing sound.. its more like a clink. Pretty much everyone elses weapon is weird sounding too. The higher pitched SFX like jumping and things like that get garbled too every now again and dont quite play right and make funny blurting noises.

[wolfNaz]

Star Ocean 2 (Second Story) NTSC does work, im playing it right now with no problems. It is an NTSC rip I made myself not too long ago, I think the other guy just had a bad rip or something. Please update the list I would hate for another SO2 lover to see that and get discouraged :)

I just past the first battle in Shingo Forest with no issue. Saving works and the emulation is smooth and fast... only problems are the semi-glitchy sound that most games have with the pops emulator right now :D

Star Ocean: The Second Story (NTSC) - Works Flawlessly

I second this. I ripped my copy of Star Ocean 2 (NTSC) two days ago. I'm about 4 hours in and it works beautifully still. The part I'm really loving about this is we get the goodness of PSX titles without the evil that was CD load times.

One Question: Do you use cwcheat?
If so, try to disable the plugin through the recovery menu and try it again.
It worked for me. :D

By the way, Discworld 2 (German) Pal version is working with pal2ntsc patches.

Nah, I'm not using CWCheat

I can hear the chirping in many games videos-- another example is the opening rock animation on SOTN

Edit- I believe I heard it in an opening SO2 video but I skipped through those so I'm not sure which one it was. I dont hear it on FF9 which I'm playing currently.

hey people how do you think ... is it gonna be possible to play VS ( wireless ) somehow ???

[mixedkid]

i dunno, if it was posted, but Driver 2 NTSC is unplayable on the psp :(..the game boots fine, sound and music is here, but beside the awesome cutscenes and when Tanner is on foot, the game is slow and laggy as hell..i dont use any overclocking module (i dunno if its gonna change anything)..i just started the first mission of the game and when i drive the car, its unplayable, its slow...anybody else has this problem? all the other games work fine, with full speed, but not this :mad:

Dany25


i have had the same problem but there is an altenative by holding down the R trigger that speed you up as if you were tanner running. but its annoying to have to hold down R just to play it

[doomgaze_86]

mhm, so maybe is the mist that made my game crash...
right now i'm far away from the outer wall, i'll see when i'll get there again...

It's possible. The mist seems to appear after teleportation. Also, my game just crashed after I exitted the door leading to the outer wall(after teleporting), but this was the first time it happened.

I'm sorry if this has been posted already but this thread is 58 pages long so I couldn't really read every single post. But the list states that Bloody Roar 2 works. But I get a black screen when I try to play it and I tried the start button thingy to get it working, I've also tried multiple rips but it just wont work for me neither will Bloody Roar 1. So could someone tell me how to get it working. thanks.

Never posted here before but I figured I might aswell help with the compatibility list.

I just dumped and converted Gex The Gecko (1) PAL.

Worked besides the displaced screen and some minor clipping issues.

Converted to NTSC and now works perfectly.

I'll update on more games when I have the chance

The sound in the opening FMV works fine for me. I know the sounds your refering to because I get it when CWCheat is loaded, but without it works fine.

The attacking sounds is garbled for me too, but only 50% of the time. Half the attacks sound how they should, the other times it sounds like a kind of bleeping noise.

[mastermib]

Just spent the day trying to run GTA 2 :eek: .. It boots but when it is loading it breaks at the very end and psp just shuts down. Since I only started doing this today it would be nice if someone tried to run the game.

to get driver 2 (NTSC) playable while driving around in a car. You can hold down R trigger or you can jack a car that has a siren and the game will be playable. so u dont have to hold down the R trigger. it works for the undercover mode. you have to do this every time you start the game.

has anybody managged to get parasite eve 2 working yet?

[Perseid]

As per the new text on the front page: I'm 99% Grandia also lets you save and go to disc 2.

Also, for Xenogears has anyone made it to the first boss with Deus(quite far into the game)? It has a certain attack that makes all the PC emulators crash and makes a real PS2 crash if you turn the graphics smoothing on. I'm sure Sony's emulator should be better than the PC ones, but it's something we should verify before it goes on the definitely working list.

[Perseid]

Vib Ribbon - Technically it works, but since the game relies on CD Audio tracks, which Popstation doesn't support, the game just keeps asking for an audio CD over and over.

Probably the most pointless game I could have tested, eh?

[Dany23]

yep, i just tested it and its works fine :D nice find mixedkid...if u dont press the R button the game become laggy when u drive (~5-7fps), the game works fine when u r on foot, so u dont need to press the R then...if u press and hold R button, the driving is on normal speed (like on a real PS1/PS2). so i can confirm that it works with the NTSC version of the game :D..can u add this extra info sony154

thank you. its better if u find a firetruck or cop car so you dont have to old down R trigger for the rest of the game play

[Dany23]

i know but in undercover mode, when u have no choice for other cars just the one u use for the mission, u have to press R in order to advance :P unless u wanna drive in slow motion for 5 hours until u find one police car..lol :p. I guess this method should work fine with Driver too, as it use the same engine as the second and some ppl reported some slowdowns too...also, i just stolen a school bus in Driver 2 (free ride mode) and by accident, i hit a parking meter on the street, then the game/psp freezed up completly and shutdown after :eek: so ppl try not to hit those parking meters in missions..lol :p

Bubble Bobble + Rainbow islands, when converted to NTSC , u cannot see the character you play (bub) and so it is unplayable.

[mixedkid]

i find a firetruck or any car that has a siren so i can play undercover mode i dont like holding down R so i get a fire truckin free roam. there easy to find there near the airport. when u find the fire truck or cop car u dont have hold down R anymore for under cover

Final Fantasy 8 - (NTSC) Hangs if you draw and cast scan on the blue bies just outside first graden. You can draw and stock it but you cant cast it.

Alundra - (NTSC) Smal hardly noticeable flaw might be due to the game being displayed on LCD in stead of normal CRT. Vertical walls when you are inside houses tend to get a fading flamey effect when walking left and right.

Final Fantasy 7 - (NTSC) When you are in battle and shose a target with the white pointing hand, what the hand covvers is displayed in the top left och the attack menue.

Will update with more when found.

[orbital]

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but I've got some little problems with Final Fantasy VII.

1) When I'm selecting a target, the hand cursor in the menu (lower part of the screen) doesn't show. In it's place it's shown what's below the cursor in the battle screen.

2) When I'm using the ALL materia, the cursor should blink on all targets. Some times it works normally but sometimes it stays like I'm selecting just one target.

3) Tifa's Limit Break.

I'll post screenshots later

Has anyone tried combining all 3 disks of ff7 into one eboot? I've made working backups of all 3 disks. I then dumped the contents of all 3 disks into seperate folders. Then i combined all folders into one. i then recreated the iso using magiciso. then converted using PXS2PSP0.6 using save ID of disk 1. So far all seems good. i load in xmb and the background/icon semi-fade into wall paper and freeze. home menu is psx mode and working. exit and go to usb, proper savedata has been created on MS.

conclusions... the only difference in each disk is the movies, super nova files on 3, and each disk had a file ... SCUS_941.63, SCUS_941.64, SCUS_941.65 respectably on its root dir. I tried eboots built with all 3 files in the root, and with the SCUS_941.63 only... same results... also tried using straight up popstation command prompt no filename or saveid change... same results... eboot.pbp 1,276,257KB too big?

Has anyone had any success?

For some of the games (all NTSC-U), I get a 1 cm black screen at the top and bottom of the psp screen. Is this because I ripped PS CD badly? or is it because the emulator doesn't handle the screen adjustment correctly?

has anyone had any luck getting games previously not working to work using sony154's advice at the start of this thread

[/QUOTE]
*NEW* You can fix working-non-working games by opening the image in isobuster and resaving it to another format *NEW*

ive tried isobuster but it doesnt look like it saves a new image and i didnt know what method to extract with it, anyone got a good guide on using isobuster to repackage ps1 games and also anyone know if sony154 meant to change the format completely i.e from .bin to .iso when he said "new"

[penance]

Regarding Final Fantasy VIII (NTSC):
I did a little research for those interrested. Many people report crashes in battle when using limits, casting magic or drawing it from monsters. Also, people report crashes with the boss in the communication tower. That is indeed true, but not 100%. I did this: I loaded a save about 15 times, entered a random battle in this place 15 times, faced the same enemy 15 times, and did exactly the same command pattern 15 times. about 20% of the time it crashed. My commands were:

1) Using an Aura Stone at Quistis (never crashed)
2) Casting Scan (a frequent crash people repont, it never crashed to me)
3) Casting Laser Eyes with Quistis (crashed once)
4) Drawing Magic and casting it (Curaga, Scan, never crashed)
5) Casting Shockwave Pulsar with Quistis (never crashed)

I did the same pattern at many locations. And here is what I noticed 95% of the crashes occured when I had the Screen Mode of the emulator stretched (either Normal or Full Screen). I noticed that every time a character casts a spell from the above (or any spell for that matter), the memory card flasshes for a second before executing it, and maybe lags one-two frames before that. That means it loads the animation sequence to the memory, just as any PC does it to the RAM when playing games. Well, if crashes occur more often when the screen is stretched (in other words, an internal emulation parameter that also needs processing), it means that the hangs have to do with the lack of memory, as if the emulator is not handling it properly. I think, since this emulator was designed for Hot Shots, and it worked properly there, it was simply not tested for other purposes (Like playing Final Fantasy VIII...), so there were never lack of memory there.

I do believe that when more games will be available for the PSP, the emulator will be better (since it will be tested for more games). Considering the fact that only five games were available, and that only for about one month and only in US-JAP, and we already have it hacked, used it inside a custom firmware that supports it, and have a 65 page thread covering it's compatibility, this will be rather quick, when Sony releases it ;). Do not forget that Sony stated that 7000 titles will be available by the end of 2007 (bollocks in my opinion, but lets keep the faith), and I can't imagine Final Fantasy series being left out, it would be plain stupid (even for Sony). Now if someone checks for torrents here and there, already all the official games for the emulator are available (especially Hot Shots, and do not tell me all those people that created this 65 page thead have bought a PS3 to aquire the game ;)). That means we will definitelly play this game full speed and perfect some day.

In conclusion regarding this game, I would mark it buggy, since crashes are random and frequent, although one may try to finish the game, but armed with patience... Also, the communication tower crash, also is random, but more frequent, so I do not think "works (NTSC) confirmed crash at comm tower" is the best descriptionn but "buggy (NTSC) random crashes in battles, use Original screen setting".
I hope I carified this situation.

Parappa The Rapper NTSC hangs on level 3 for me?
Anyone else has this problem?

[manias]

Regarding Final Fantasy VIII (NTSC):
I did a little research for those interrested. Many people report crashes in battle when using limits, casting magic or drawing it from monsters. Also, people report crashes with the boss in the communication tower. That is indeed true, but not 100%. I did this: I loaded a save about 15 times, entered a random battle in this place 15 times, faced the same enemy 15 times, and did exactly the same command pattern 15 times. about 20% of the time it crashed. My commands were:

1) Using an Aura Stone at Quistis (never crashed)
2) Casting Scan (a frequent crash people repont, it never crashed to me)
3) Casting Laser Eyes with Quistis (crashed once)
4) Drawing Magic and casting it (Curaga, Scan, never crashed)
5) Casting Shockwave Pulsar with Quistis (never crashed)

I did the same pattern at many locations. And here is what I noticed 95% of the crashes occured when I had the Screen Mode of the emulator stretched (either Normal or Full Screen). I noticed that every time a character casts a spell from the above (or any spell for that matter), the memory card flasshes for a second before executing it, and maybe lags one-two frames before that. That means it loads the animation sequence to the memory, just as any PC does it to the RAM when playing games. Well, if crashes occur more often when the screen is stretched (in other words, an internal emulation parameter that also needs processing), it means that the hangs have to do with the lack of memory, as if the emulator is not handling it properly. I think, since this emulator was designed for Hot Shots, and it worked properly there, it was simply not tested for other purposes (Like playing Final Fantasy VIII...), so there were never lack of memory there.

I do believe that when more games will be available for the PSP, the emulator will be better (since it will be tested for more games). Considering the fact that only five games were available, and that only for about one month and only in US-JAP, and we already have it hacked, used it inside a custom firmware that supports it, and have a 65 page thread covering it's compatibility, this will be rather quick, when Sony releases it ;).

Hmm thanks for that info
So what i'm still wondering:
- does it crash at all when you don't stretch the screen
- when you get past the communication tower does it crash less? (at all?)

still strange that for some scan crashes and others it doesn't.

1) It does crash, but far less (in 15 times, it crashed once, while 2/3 of the times it crashes when I have the screen stretched

2) The "crash rate" is the same after communication tower. It depends on where you battle, and what you do in the battle.

In general, if you have your screen at Original, you probably will be able to play the game with only a few crashes, but to me, just give it a month or so, and a new release will probably be out ;)

Hi guys, not naving much luck with my pal copy of soul reaver:mad: ripped MY original ps1 disc using ULTRAISO and converted to eboot no problems. game boots fine and plays great until you get to your first encounter with Sluagh, the game then locks up solid..:confused: if you press the home button you can still exit back to the xmb. I tried a few ways of ripping the iso but the all get stuck in the same place. also tried it as pal and ntsc.. hope there is a patch cos this must be one of the best ps1 games ever..:)

Digimon World 2003 PAL tested now, after bypassing some security protocols I finally converted it.

It seems good at first with some minor graphic glitches now and than. It freezes and locks up. So you could say it's particly compatibel.

I don't know if somebody else found this but overclocking Final Fantasy VIII at 333/166 with cwcheat makes it work flawlessly. So I'm sorry before hand if this has been posted before.

I've been having crashes constantly at the train boss (the president double), but it's working fine now. Maybe overclocking is the solution for the crashes. I cannot guarantee for other games as I've only tried Final Fantasy VIII. Hope that helps.

I will try that today. But there is one problem there:
With cwcheat on, the sound is a little bit choppy and... well you get the picture. Do you know a way to fix this?

When you overclock at 333/166, it will fix the choppy sound problem too. That's what weltal said and I'm confirming that is true. I tried overclocking to fix this problem at first and I got lucky that it fixed the crashing problem too.

But I think I have to play some more to make sure that there'll be no more crashing.

[s00pcan]

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy (ntsc) works! I just played up through LA. It has graphical glitches, the stuff off to the sides isn't rendered correctly. Still very playable though.

Unfortunatelly it does not fix things, at least 100%:

I tried the same sequence as my previous post and here is what happened.

1) Scan was ok (again)
2) Aura Stone worked fine
3) Quistis's Laser Eye worked fine two times, BUT the third time, in order to test the theory you mention I tretched the screen. Guess what. It stuck.

I will put this to the test, by constant battling here and there trying everything. Also, if one could give me his save file so I could try doing that in places people reports it crashes (like the president battle). I will post my results analytically.

is there no other way to enable 333mhz without cwcheat? perhaps it uses too much memory when really stressed

[hID]

Admittedly, all I managed was a thread search for "spacehulk" and "space hulk", so at the risk of repeating someone, has anyone given this game a go yet? Ever since learning about the first PSX emulators, I have had a burning desire to play Diablo and Spacehulk on my PSP! Tomorrow I will be scouring second hand shops for them both :D.

You are right. It does not work at 100%. I just got another freeze. I tried getting into random battles to see if this solution stands and it doesn't. That's really too bad. I hope somebody will come with a fix for crashing soon. I'm dying to play FFVIII all over again, it's such a great game (even though lots of people hate it, a lot!).

[penance]

No, at the moment there isn't. The CPU option in the Recovery Menu of 3.02-OE says "not yet".

enishi1, I also want to play this game badly. FF VII, VIII and IX are my best equally, each one for different reasons, and I say that having played all of them except XI and XII. Soon, we will, I am positive ;)

[romuloarpini]

For Those Trying toget FF8 working properly, I saw this on gamefaqs:

"I found a solution that's working for me. I was stuck in the second Laguna dream, would freeze every time.

I tried several different ripping programs and finally found one that works. UltraISO with CDClone as the output type. Works great, and I'm now at the end of disc one. Hope this helps!"

Can anyone confirm?

I have my image in done exactly the same way, so I do not think this is the solution... It has to be something dealing with the emulator, since epsxe runs the same image flawlessly, and popstation simply recompiles the image, it does not alter it in any way.

[ShoC]

ff8 Works PAL aslong as copy protection is removed via Fix,
Im crashing 99% of the time when the spell Scan is used or Drawn unsure if others have this problem,

(ONLY tested upto Fire cavern because im trying to make screen centre if anyone has a file for Zapper that works thanks. I tried making one but it didnt make a difference. Pm me)

And screen is to low obviously and unable to fix via Zapper2k or Pal2uk

it apparently crashes less when you enable 333 @ cwcheat, please try it and confirm ;)

Use CHEATMASTER instead. It overclock the CPU, has cheats and works with 302OE.

I found a module that only overclocks the psp, nothing else:

It's called OCModule
Now we can check if this fixes FF8 crashes more than cwcheat! :)


I saw that but apparently some one claimed it Bricked their psp, Dont know how thats possible but just a head up for you!!!

Do you crash when drawing casting Scan???
Try it multiple times in a battle,...

i tried Catlevania SOTN, and it's working fine, until you find the first teleport in the outer wall, use it, and go back to the wall...
at this point, the game crashes...

someone else noticed this?

Yes', this happened to me a few times. When that happens you should bypass the teleport to go to outerwall, after that it will work fine. It will happen rarely but it may happen again later in the game. Iam at 98% and it happend twice. Its a glitch if you directly teleport from entrance to outerwall.
Other teleports work fine.
