PSX2PSP v1.4 - Popstation GUI

[telemundus]

THANK YOU KINGSQUITTER!

Easily the best application I have seen for PSone conversion with v .6 now that you have fixed my only complaint (ms led flash). Thanks again for all your hard work the past week and great updates nightly to make this as convenient as possible for everyone.

Hope you have a happy new year!

@kingSquitter..

There is a problem with the pal -> Ntsc .. I have a Final Fantasy VII PAL game (Game ID SCES00876).. It said there were no strings to change or something like that..

I understand that you use the hex editting method..
I dont know what way your program checks for the strings.. but I would like to direct you to post by "mrdude" where he said..

Look for the hex string:

1300912410009124 (orig)
Replace with this.
0000912400009124

sometimes games have
1300902410009024 as (original)
replace with this
0000902400009024

I guess my question is.. does the gui check both kinds of strings??.. cause if not, that might be the problem I'm facing with Final fantasy VII..

I had to convert it using zapper and stuff.. =P

I had the same trouble with GT2, but even zapper couldnt find the strings in my gt2 eu rips...

searching for those strings in hex edit wasnt fruitfull either... are there more EU codes?

[madridi4ever]

zap doesnt look for strings.. does it??

anyways zap DID fix this problem for me.. I dont know about you but I dont know why wouldnt it.. I'm just sayin' maybe DA KING forgot something there.. =)..

oh btw.. does the game not work at all or does it have a bad screen??
if it doesnt load that means the game is protected and u have to get a patch for it.. =) << as far as i know..

[goeman]

All I get is a black screen when I try to load the games on the PSP?

does anybody have a idea on why this is happening, Ive tried everything

manias I think not loading is similar to my problem..

maybe it needs to be patched..

[opiate81]

Ive had a couple games that wouldnt convert to ntsc with this or zapper

when I went to the options in the game there was a screen alignment option which fixed it for me ;)

i "obtained" a copy of Tekken 3 but it was in .nrg format so i converted it to .iso format using MagicISO but when i try to convert the .iso file with popstation i get error messages such as : "popstation.exe not found in folder "Files" and "Invalid filename" but popstation is inside the files folder.

im using v.6 and the files i have inside the files folder are:
back.png
gameinfo.txt
no_icon0.png
icon_back.png
BASE.PBP (formerly eboot.pbp of hotshots2)
KEYS.bin
PSX2PSP.exe

I tried converting with these files in files folder and got the same error messages.

I added cygwin1.dll to the folder and the same error messages occurred.


dunno if you solved your problem already but you actually need popstation.exe in the files folder (i don't see it in your list), and PSX2PSP.exe should NOT be in the file folder... anyone can correct me if i'm wrong though.



when i converted the .nrg tekken 3 file to .iso, the file size dropped from 656mb to 575mb

any help plz?

as far as converting .nrg, not sure if PSX2PSP handles that file type, but my suggestion so as not to get the reduction in iso size is to convert the .nrg to a .pbp using popstation.exe through the command prompt, then just edit the resulting eboot through PSX2PSP.

[manias]

as far as i know only bin, img and iso are valid extensions, no others

[quexex]

Bad iso use cloneCD it's the onl one that I have had work at all!

[Azzurra]

Mb you need to patch the game if it got a protection.

[skakers]

Had anyone got this error message while converting- Cannot find STARTDAT in Not a valid PSX eboot.PBP?

[neoshihiro]

yes that doesn't work and even if it worked, it creates a not clean ebbot (so led permanently flashing : Dangerous)
Prefer the first command line method associate with hexedit.

version .6 creates fine eboots without the flashing (and it's not dangerous)

Very nice! This Gui is getting better and better. Maybe you can add this "fix" TheShadowRunner mentioned in his clean popstation thread:

http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?p=343461#post343461

Don't know if it's necessary or not. ;)

[madridi4ever]

Thanks .. =)

Was the thing i posted about the pal2ntsc useful??

[DrGast]

Thanks again for this awesome tool, KingSquitter!

Here's a suggestion, though: You might want to have ISO/PBP file selection above ICON0.PNG, PIC1.PNG, PIC0.PNG etc. in the GUI window because if you fill in those prior to selecting the ISO, it'll erase the fields and you need to select your image files again.

Just a minor thing, really.

[Totalitarian]

Thanks for including the Abort feature.

It saves a lot of time when converting games.

[Jakkal]

Absolutely marvelous, I love this app :) Big up KingSquitter!

[retroguy]

This is a great utility. now I can convert my PSX collection to PSP format, and play them on my PSP.

I made one conversion, and I saw that no folder with the game name was created. I guess this is not a feature (yet), but it would be nice to implement it in a future release. I guess most people use game names as folder names instead of the game ID's, so games can easily be identified.

Keep up the good work.

[CJDJ]

That shouldn't be too hard to do... have the program create a folder from the Title field instead of the ID field... but thanks for the great work you've done!

[coolser]

Do you think it could be possible to add the ability to extract the Pics/Sounds (Like the ICON0.PNG, PIC1.PNG, SND0.AT3, etc.) from a loaded PBP?

[Jakkal]

Hm.. I'm getting some weird error on 0.6.1 saying something about "There is no ISO in PBP"..?
I have now downgraded into 0.6.0.

[gatsu_1981]

Hm.. I'm getting some weird error on 0.6.1 saying something about "There is no ISO in PBP"..?
I have now downgraded into 0.6.0.

Me too. After starting front mission 3 i already tried to check the path size, to check if the name was too long, but nothing fixed my error.

[Ammar]

So is this GUI identical to the clean popstation GUI now?
EDIT: Nevermind, theres still a 1 byte difference in the header which TSR mentioned.

[Totalitarian]

I think it already can. Whenever I've loaded a PBP file with this GUI, they seem to be copied to the PICS folder.

[MilkyJoe]

Can't get it to work, get an error message which say's: "PBP file don't contain a ISO".

All the files required are in the files folder so what's the problem? :confused:

is there any difference between the EBOOT created by the newest version of this and Clean postation?

what about savegames on multi disc games? do you have to enter the game id of the first disc like in clean popstation or does this just do it automatically?

you have to do it yourself.
only dif between this version and clean is one byte.. which doesn't cause problems

If i edit my final fantasy VII eboot, which i am pretty far in the game.., is there anyway possible and i do something wrong that my save progress gets currupted and deleted?

As long as you keep the same SaveID, no.

so just edit the game id to that of the first disc before clicking convert?

its not a big deal, but that should be in the readme so people who get the program but dont read the forums know what to do. I'm gonna be compiling all the filed needed to upgrade to 2.71/hend, downgrade to to 1.50, upgrade to 3.02 OE-A and OE-B and the popstation GUI and burning it to CDs to distribute to my friends who own PSPs.

ah right
yeah just check which ID you used for the first disc and use that ID for all discs.

[Kettenhund]

Converted now Jumping Flash - NTSC with pure popstation.exe and the LED still flashes constantly. So i guess it's the game or a bad iso :confused:.

[TheShadowRunner]

You're confused indeed.

Some games do access the MS a lot regardless of the GUI used.

The initial problem was that PSX2PSP created extra blinking (where Popstation alone didn't) on certain games.

This has now been fixed.
But certain games still access the MS a lot, nothing even remotely strange about that.

yea i need help i downloaded alcohol 120% and used it to convert the ps game files to image files. I downloaded psx2psp v 1. 06. Im not sure what i have to do with putting files in the file folder. What files are they talking about and where do i get them?

But on Jumping Flash it's pretty bad. It even doesn't stop to flash when you pause in the game... :D. Only when pressing HOME button.

read the readme.txt


Place popsation.exe, base.pbp and keys.ini in files folder.


Files that should be in files folder:
-------------------------------------
back.png
base.pbp
gameInfo.txt
icon_back.png
KEYS.BIN
no_icon0.png
popsation.exe

Files that should NOT be in files folder:
-----------------------------------------
icon0.png
pic0.png
pic1.png

---

You can get the program to auto pick the pictures.
To do so, rename ex icon0.png to yyyyxxxxx.png and place in \pics\icon0\ (yyyyxxxxx=Game id)

By KingSquitter


Surely you could've done that on your own.

[botto]

yea but where are these files are they on the disk or what

[manias]

yea but where are these files are they on the disk or what
all files are in the zip file except base.pbp and keys.bin they are from hotshots golf 2, released by sony

Hi KingSquitter

First off Damn good little program!

Now I don't even know if this has been asked to many posts to read through.

Is it possible to add some default configuration that is set by the user like ISO Folder so when i click on it it don't go to the desk top it goes to where i told the program where my ISO's are. This browsing is driving me crazy. LOL

And when you click on the icon0.pbg button it automaticly opens that folder instead of the last folder you were in. Same with the rest of the buttons. Would sure be nice if when i clicked on a button it knew right where to go.

Anyways Thanks for the Current Program and keep up the good work

KingSquitter I don't know if you have been reading the CLEAN POPStation thread but her is a quote from TheShadowRunner that you might want to look into.


There is still a 1 BYTE (only!) difference between builds made by CLEAN Pop & PSX2PSP GUI.

If KingSquitter fixes this only remaining flaw (in the HEADER, offset 192), the CLEAN project will be dropped.

[TheShadowRunner]

Yeah drag, we talked about it in pm.
I have yet to retest with 6.2 though.
Test will be as follow:
generate with popstation under DOS + hexedit.
versus Clean Popstation
versus PSX2PSP

King told me that the byte in question is related to the length of the game title, if i use the same on all 3 tests, MD5 should match.
I'll be sure to let you guys know on both threads.

Oh and.. Happy New Year ;)

only some people noticed that hex byte is the "game name" long (always the number of character in the name +1)

example:
if you give the name "PSX Emulator" the byte was 0D (in decimal 13 [12+1])
if you give the name "Grandia" the byte was 08 (in decimal 8 [7+1])
and so on

[Skeldwar]

Have you though about adding the ability to change the warning PNG

IS that even possible? That would be kinda cool! If it doesn't interfere with the game working, I'd like that feature.

[TheShadowRunner]

Yeah that's right n0rd.
And this is to ensure that the SFO looks correct.
It's actually an enhancement over the original Popstation.exe, superb work King!

So the final word on this: (at last!)

- KingSquitter's PSX2PSP GUI is absolutely correct in all it does as of now. (v 6.2)
- It's actually even better than Popstation.exe in that it corrects the SFO by computing the game title length while Popstation always assumes 18 characters regardless of the title you input (this is wrong but harmless, and based on the original "Hot Shots Golf (c)" title hence why 18.
- The only byte difference between PSX2PSP GUI & CLEAN PopStation that remained is this very microbug that the original Popstation has (and so CLEAN reproduced it).
- CLEAN PopStation project is therefore immediately discontinued. :cool:

Amazing work King, thank you very much!

Thank You for your excellent work KingSquitter , it's greatly appreciated.

Just a quick ask and I can understand a quick NO as you've honestly given enough already.
Is there any chance of adding drag n drop so I can open supported files with your program via sendto or cmdline or reg hack (Edit With) or drop n drag? Currently I'm using a rough bit of script to do it for me.
example of what I mean attached.
I've called it PSX2PSP Dropbox (p2pd.exe)
Only works with your program v0.6.2

[TheShadowRunner]

Small bug on 6.2:
If you set the icon0, pic1 & pic0 first, then open the ISO, you need to re-input icon0, pic1 & pic0 again.
Later,

[Azzurra]

It was in previous version but I'm not sure it's really a bug, because I guess that when you load an .iso, the PSX2PSP look if img are associated, as if you where openning a PBP file.

oh i see Azzurra, in this case maybe Open ISO should be the first option in the top-left of the interface.

[Khenemet_Heru]

The original warning is located offset 1376336-1387824
if you hexedit the base, you can replace the image at the offset mentionned above and any subsequent PBP you build will use that image instead.

I can confirm this works, and here's the image I used. The hexeditor will complain that the filesize is different, 'cause the png file is a hair smaller in size, but I used it to build Street Fighter EX+ 2 and it worked great. I found as long as it's under 11.2k and a png24 format, it will work. Larger and it displays garbage, but then loads the game fine.

The chinese PSX2PSP gui is cool, too bad it's in chinese which can get annoying sometimes since you don't know the language and you'll always have to look up that picutre the guy at psp-hacks made for the translation, unless you memorize everything. I wish KingSquitter can use some of the ideas from this chinese gui and make a english version of it.

read up on this thread dude same stuff coming back over and over

what do u mean..? i have select icons and even edited the save id. but it still doesnt work?

as far as i can see the only new thing is the changed bootup picture and tabs? same functions apart from that

Just take his BASE.PBP and place it in the PSX2PSP "files" folder replacing your current BASE.PBP. Then build with PSX2PSP as usual.

you find that with this gui it does not fix the screen positioning? test it!

[Dark_AleX]

There is a problem with the application.

The iso header offset currently MUST BE 0x50000, since one of the functions of popcorn that replaces a popsman function (to allow decrpted headers) will search the postheader at 0x50400, where are data needed by pops.prx.

I've seen than the appplication does not always generate the data there, and this could cause the generated pbp not to work properly.
In fact, this was one of the reasons of popstation to not allow big images.

Anyways this will be fixed in popcorn.prx of 3.03 OE-A by searching the iso offset in the pbp header, but currently in 3.02OE-B, isos whose header are not at 0x50000 cannot be guaranteed to work.
In fact they could work depending of the luck of the values of the data that are at offset 0x50400+.

No need to change nothing in the app anyways, since i may start working in 3.03 OE tomorrow, and it should be ready next day.

Ok I have a question... and I KNOW it gets asked a lot, and i DID search, and Ive seen multiple, and varying reports and methods on this. So what I need now is THE REAL ANSWER PLEASE THANKS A LOT.


On FF7 and FF9 when it gets to a point where you have to swap discs Do you have to:

a. Do nothing because the proper ID #'s have been assigned by the database and needn't be altered in any way

b. Alter the ID # and Gamesave name for disc 2, 3, and or 4 to be the exact same as whatever it is for disc 1

c. use some sort of extra app that does some kind of magic trick.


I'd really like to know, thanks in advance!




OH... and I have black bars on the top and bottom of some games... is there a way to fix that at all??? thanks again

I think this may work for disk swapping. I have used it for loading psone saves into psppsx game. So I really don't know if it will work for disk swapping.

Yes, except if the images are too big, or audio/videos are inserted in the file. and there is no room in those few 320 KB of 0-50000.

disc 1-4 have to have the same ID and you get a prompt to save before discswap. save, then when it asks u to discswap, shut the game down, boot the other eboot, load the savegame and voila. This works with final fantasys but not with eg. chrono cross as u dont get a prompt there

[Feark]

This app is great! I Was really annoyed (and still is) when the PSP "scene" released PSX game which was converted to EBOOT from ISO. But this magic app can convert EBOOT back to its regular form, and thats great :DThanks for this super application, hopefully this will continue to be updated.

Wont this app fix the screen position already? I tried to convert Syndicate Wars (PAL) to NTSC, and it worked fine, and the screen was also in right place (which was really strange ofcourse).

Hi m8, in your next version can you add the option to strip out png files:

You just need to search the eboot files for this:

89504e470d0a1a0a - start of png
49454e44ae426082 - end of png

obviously because there are a few png's in the eboot - these hex values will appear more than once....would that be too difficult?

That would be a nice feature. Thanks.

[thugangel_luqz]

erm.. another suggestion..for less intelligent ppl like myself...if u wasnt the 1 who rippd the psx game and are unsure if its a pal or ntsc is there a way you could determine that?

that wud b very helpful as if its already an ntsc version and i chek d box pal 2 ntsc wud it mash up?

thx

[niemand0815]

i found a small "glitch" with the auto-cration of folders:

if the game name contains illegal characters (for example: "Discworld II - Missing presumed...") the program gives an error message ("illegal filename") and crashes.

Instead, it should only use the legal characters (in the example: "Discworld II - Missing presumed") as folder-name.


Also another small idea:
i think i somewhere found a list containing the SonyID's and the Screenformat (PAL/NTSC) of the disc. Having this information in the gameInfo.txt could automatically default the pal conversion to the right value.

also regarding screen offsets: maybe this should also be incorporated into the gameInfo.txt, and if people report screen offset problems the file could be easily updated with the info :-)

And another idea:
Wouldnt it be nice if the program automatically could pull the right icon0 files from some website?

But anyways,
THIS SOFTWARE ROCKS!

Maybe someone could get the icons already available from the icons thread and compile them all in a big zip file according to the folder setup that this app uses so that users could just download that and extract to the psx2psp folder.

it worked here...
when setting a default bdp directory in the options and allow the sw to create directories (and of course save these settings as default), you can select an iso and it automatically creates a driectory from the game name.
the only problem there arises if the game name contains illegal characters.

if you select an iso the app automatically appends the game title to the default path and creates the directory when you click on convert.


One option that I have stumbled upon when fiddling with the home option was the game manual. .
that would be really nice.
did someone find out in which format the document is?

In my opinion the Wii should have been called revolution...
anyway, I made a "nintendo" picture of it

[n0rd]

Should be "Virus Found" right? NOT "Virus Finded"

i work on this pic late night so i'm a little tired, i've no time to check if i made some error :D

EDIT: Pic Fixed

Hi all, first post here, so please excuse me if my question has been answered already (but I've just read through all 49 pages of this thread and couldn't see it!).

Not tried the app yet, as all my PS1 games are stuck in the attic and I'll be going up at weekend, but in readiness I want to create some custom icons/backgrounds of my own.

Do I have to create them at a particular resolution, or does the GUI do resizing?

Cheers

ICON0 = 144x80 PNG-8 or PNG-24
PIC1 = 480x272 PNG-8 or PNG-24
PIC0 = 310x180 PNG-8 or PNG-24

And I'm not sure if it still holds true but I read that its best to keep the total file size of all 3 images under 300kb.

Hope that helps a little!

KingSquitter i find a little bug in version 0.70

warning.png is always overwritted by the default one when you open an iso

it's better if the program check if a warning.png is already present and in this case load it


atm after you open an iso you must manually overwrite the warning.png every time :(

[YUPER]

I'm trying to convert Chrono Cross, I have downloaded the Pic1 and ICON 0 and selected it. I have all the files. But when I want to convert it, it say that there is an unexpected error is. I don't no what the problem is. I've Windows ME

[n0rd]

Windows ME

WinME is a big error itself :D

try to post a screenshot of the error
and list the file you have and in were are they (directory, sub-directory, etc...)

[moenchelle]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE--hi all am writing as i have downgraded my psp to 3,02 oe-b and i can make isos aswell but am having a prob as seing them on my psp?am i missing something on my psp i take it i need a emulator or something.any help would be great thanks all keep up the great work

[niemand0815]

regarding pal->ntsc patching:
would it be possible to enter a default y-offset in some future version?
i noticed that many games need y-patching.
anyways this is not critical, as pal games have many other graphical glitches, too. so its always better to use ntsc version :-)

[Skeldwar]

KingSquitter i find a little bug in version 0.70
Yeah, similar problem here. First let me say that I am ecstatic about 0.7 now being able to edit already created EBOOTs. But I find that it doesn't seem to let me edit the warning screen.

I open the EBOOT, add new ICON0, PIC1, etc. Then I go to add the warning screen and I select convert to update the EBOOT with the new files. The EBOOT converts fine.

What is strange is that when opening the newly converted EBOOT and selecting PREVIEW I can see the new warning screen. But when loading the game on the PSP. The new warning screen doesn't appear and its just that same old black background white text warning.

Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Does the program not yet support editing of warning screens?

Thanks in advance for any time or attention you can give to this.

Here's my emulator boot page image ... it goes with the game EBOOT image theme I'm designing at the moment ...

EDIT: Redone ... took out the coloured PSX bit ... does look better actually ... also added the PSD Template file ... the ICON0 image is in the proper place for your own backgrounds etc ... :)

EDIT2: Added the BankGothic Font used in the EBOOT images ...

Try to select an "Output PBP folder"

in your photo you have:
\SLUS01041

change it in something like
C:\SLUS01041

[Skeldwar]

you gotta click options...
Yeah thanks man. I did do that before, but I just tried again on a different EBOOT and it did indeed work. I got the new warning screen.

SWEET!

[FLai]

There is a problem with the application.

The iso header offset currently MUST BE 0x50000, since one of the functions of popcorn that replaces a popsman function (to allow decrpted headers) will search the postheader at 0x50400, where are data needed by pops.prx.

I've seen than the appplication does not always generate the data there, and this could cause the generated pbp not to work properly.
In fact, this was one of the reasons of popstation to not allow big images.

Anyways this will be fixed in popcorn.prx of 3.03 OE-A by searching the iso offset in the pbp header, but currently in 3.02OE-B, isos whose header are not at 0x50000 cannot be guaranteed to work.
In fact they could work depending of the luck of the values of the data that are at offset 0x50400+.

No need to change nothing in the app anyways, since i may start working in 3.03 OE tomorrow, and it should be ready next day.

You rock. Can't wait to try this. I'm on 3.02 OE-B just now and its amazing but Tekken 3 has some graphical errors which I know will be fixed in 3.03 OE ;)

Well, I don't know if your problem wa the same of mine, but I've saw where I was wrong =P

http://www.squitterdev.com/fileShare/files/Popstation_GUI_v7_options.JPG
The default Warning is the top right, the top left is the Warning for the working iso.

I only notice that after trying the use the left one several times... :p

And KingSquitter, thanks man, your app is really great! :D

[niemand0815]

i think the warning image should not be in the options page, but on the main page :-) only the default warning image setting should be in the options page... at least thats imho.

Support DA!

[niemand0815]

a question:
is the disk id-option used to define the save-file?

so if i have 2 disks, i have to use the same disk id (meaning i have to set it manually) for both eboots to use the same save, right?

EDIT:
forget the question, just found it it got answered before. sorry.

[creeky]

awesome app

have a question tho
being a noob to this sort of stuff

can you compress the isos and then run this app to produce smaller eboots ?

sorry if dumb question but dont know if this would be similar to running compressed iso's of backed up psp games.

cheers

No one knows how to compress the ISOs. Only Sony does... For now... ):P

Yeah, that would be a nice warning screen without the icon bracket. The bracket doesn't really work as a warning screen since the icon disappears when that screen is displayed.

[Azzurra]

It supports compression is a point, but how to compress then ? :confused:

[manias]

[hjacked]

h*** s*** 303 oe out!
thank u da u r da man!

[matriculated]

I hope KS has an option to re-compress eboots so we don't have to create these from scratch. Hint, hint...

[Illegal Machine]

I just hope Kingsquitter updates the GUI soon....


I really want to compress something..... he's probably working on it now tho

Just do it with prompt now. It's easy. Just do, what the readme says.
I just converted 2 Games with the new popstation with compression 6 and each are over 200MBs smaller! :)

I hope so ! :)

If you guys go back to the original post (#740 - page 50) I have put the PSD file on the page for others to play with and to take stuff out or put in ...

If you're not a Photoshop guy then here it is for ya ...

I put the Icon box there originally as it's in the exact spot where the icons are on the XMB menu so it all looks similar ... and the fact that the Sony logo was infact part of the icon ... but hey everybody likes different things :)
