Given the console's prestigious history as the birthplace for many iconic franchises and game-changing.

In here a collection of useful information on things that get asked frequently.

PSX2PSP Eboots vs PSN Official Eboots, what's the difference?

eboots are .PBP files created to play PS1 games on PSP consoles and later on VITA.

Some people also prefer them over PSX ISOs because it's just 1 file usually smaller in size, this last use is a really bad idea, i'll elaborate later. For now you need to know:

• PSX2PSP: Are eboots made by random people, usually with a program called PSX2PSP (there are others: Popstation GUI, IceTea). While most of this files work fine, many have issues (No sound, random crashes, disc change errors), and some don't work at all (black screen on startup).
• PSN Eboots: These are eboots sold at the official PSN store. They are perfect. No bugs. But usually emulators can't play them due to encryption.

Why should i always prefer PSX ISOs instead of Eboots if i use Emulators?

Over the years people have put a lot of effort into dumping every game making sure they are exact copies of the original media. Huge databases were created such as redump, advanscene, renascene, dat-o-matic, etc.

Redump is the group making sure every psx game is correctly dumped, we make an effort to get their verified versions because they have no errors.

When you convert those isos to eboots the iso is no longer a 'good dump', all that precious work done is immediately destroyed. You created a random file with no value whatsoever that just happens to work (if lucky). It may crash at any time, no guarantees. While when using a verified PSX ISO you know for sure, any issue is an emulator issue and not your game.

Eboots exist to be played on PSP or VITA, not for emulators. They just happen to work. They are not meant for emulators.

How to play PSX2PSP eboots on a PSP Console:

Copy the folder containing the EBOOT.PBP to PSPGAME, note that each eboot needs to be 'in a folder', else they'll show up as corrupted data.

Example Path: X:PSPGAMESLPS-02985EBOOT.PBP

How to Emulate PSX2PSP eboots:

You shouldn't emulate Eboots since they exist for PSP and VITA console users.
If you want to play PS1 games on an emulator then download PSX ISOs.
That being said, some eboots labeled 'PSX2PSP' can be emulated on PC with ePSXe emulator, and maybe others.

How to play PSN eboots on a PSP Console:

Copy the folder containing the EBOOT.PBP file to PSPGAME without changing the folder name (the game ID).
Example: X:PSPGAMENPJJ00231EBOOT.PBP
PRO-C2CFW has problems with PSN eboots use 'PRO-C Fix-3'.

How to emulate PSN eboots:

You can't. PSN Eboots are meant to be played on PSP/VITA consoles.
You must not download PSN Eboots if you don't have the real hardware.
Download the corresponding PSX ISO version instead.

How to play PS2 ISOs on PCSX2 emulator for PC:

1. Download and extract the game to a folder using 7-zip (free).
2. Download and install latest PCSX2 (Use that link. The official site hosts an older version).
3. Open PCSX2 and do System -> Boot ISO.
4. Then Select the .iso or .bin file.

NOTE: ALL CD based PS2 ISOs are .bin files and all DVD based ISOs are .iso

How to play Turbografx-16 Classics

These games are different from regular PSP ISOs. They come with a DLC that is mandatory to be copied to the right place in order to make the game run.

On PPSSPP:

Go to your PPSSPP installation folder. Then memstickPSPGAME

Copy the DLC folder included with the download inside the game folder.

On PSP:

Copy the DLC to the game folder like so: ms0:PSPGAMENPJJ30040

Also you must make sure you have enabled NoDRM. On PRO-CFW you do this by pressing select > Recovery Menu > Advanced. And in there Enable 'NoDRM Engine'.

If you are on a custom firmware that is not PRO consider updating to PRO. If you can't or won't. There is a plugin called 'NPloader' that does the same thing.

How to play PS1 games with ePSXe emulator on PC

1. Download and extract the game to a folder using 7-zip (free).
2. Download and install latest ePSXe.
3. Run ePSXe, Make sure that Options > CPU Overclocking is set to x1 (Important!)
4. To setup the buttons go to: Config > Gamepads > Port 1 > Pad 1
5. To start the game go to: File > Run ISO
6. Then select the .cue file (always the .cue, never the .bin)
7. When done playing press ESCAPE first to end emulation, then close ePSXe.

Why some games have multiple .bin 'tracks' files and what should i do with them?

TL;DR: Nothing, ignore them.

Long answer: Track number 1 contains the game data, the rest of the tracks are audio tracks or CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio). They are songs, the game music. The .cue file (Cue sheet) contains a list of all the tracks, their number and position on the disc. You should always use the .cue file when emulating or burning to a disc. No need to do anything with the extra .bin!

• Why are there so many: Depends on how many songs the game contains.
• Why are they separated?: This is Redump's decision to separate the game data from the audio data of PS1/Saturn games.
• Can i merge them: You totally can. We prefer not to because then it would no longer be a Redump verified game. Which is a guarantee of a 'Good Dump'. But IF you absolutely want to:

How to merge games with Multiple .bin tracks:

1. You need a virtual Drive software to mount the .cue like Daemon Tools Lite (Free) or similar.
2. Mount the .cue file
3. Now you need a software like ImgBurn (Free) or similar.
4. Open ImgBurn and select create Image from disc. It will create a new single bin/cue set for you.

What format of Dreamcast game should i download? The CDI or GDI?

The Dreamcast didn't use regular CD's like the PS1 or DVD's like the PS2 but it's own format called GD-ROM as a way to stop piracy. Spoiler Alert: It didn't work .
GD-ROM's can hold up to 1 GB of data, this is more than what a regular CD-R can hold which is about 700 MB. So pirates had to get creative. They ripped, compressed/down-sampled the games so they can fit on a regular 700 MB CD-R. Using a program created by Padus called 'DiscJuggler' they saved their rips with the extension .cdi

• CDI = Are RIPS of the original discs made by people. They have generally lower quality and can have bugs.
• GDI = Are the original Discs. They are perfect 1:1 copies, no bugs, nothing is ripped.

Yes, all this is amazing but which one do I download? It depends..

• Download GDI:
  -If you will emulate the game using any Emulator for PC, Android, etc.
  -If you own a Dreamcast that was moded with GDEMU.
• Download CDI:
  -If you own a Dreamcast that was moded to play CD-R and you will burn the .cdi to a CD.

HOW TO CONVERT PS1 GAMES TO PSP EBOOT.PBP

*Please note you do need custom Firmware and have a hacked PSP. For those of you who don’t know how to do this you need a Pandora Battery I bought mine at http://www.consoleshop.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1
and it was $25. just buy the one that says Pandora
(you only use this once and this is to hack your PSP) in conjunction with the Pandora battery you need a magic stick I bought mine off http://www.phiine.com/shop (I bought 512mb) because I have windows vista and not XP I can’t make one so I bought one

*please also note that you do need custom firmware. I use darkalex 4.01 M33-2, and if your wondering even if you hack your PSP you can still make it normal again just by an update from Sony’s official playstaion website, and have a normal unhacked psp again.

*Just FYI on a normal psp that is unhacked you can NOT play your ps1 games with an EBOOT.PBP file
Now Moving Forward

First thing you need to do is
Step 1:Download ISOBUSTER,SIMPLE POPSTATION GUI 2.21 BETA, and PSX2PSP V1.4.2

Step 2:FROM SIMPLE POPSTATION GUI 2.2 BETA from the data files just copy the BASE.PBP, and the KEYS.BIN file and save them to your desktop. THEN DELETE SIMPLE POPSTATION GUI 2.21 BETA, you have no need for it once you have these files.

Step 3:Move the KEYS.BIN file, and the BASE.PBP file into the FILE FOLDER under the PSX2PSP v1.4.2
Then you can follow those steps.

1.) Put your games assuming you own the game in to your cd drive on your pc. Make sure you have a folder with the name of game your saving iso folder to, also label disc1, disc2,etc. (Downloading ROMs is illegal and I wont tell what sites)

2.) Open ISOBUSTERS 2.4 and right click on CD. Then click on the first top menu and click Extract Raw data (2352 bytes/block) (*.bin, *.iso)

3.) Then save the iso file to a folder on desktop I labeled the name of game and disc #.

4.) After you save your file and cue in same folder OPEN PSX2PSP v1.4 you can choose CLASSIC or THEME, TO MAKE A MULTIDISC CHOOSE CLASSIC, TO MAKE SINGLE DISC GAMES CHOOSE THEME.

5.) Click on convert menu, ALWAYS APPLY PATCHES. The very first Drop box just click little square to the left and choose your iso file. from the folder you saved with isobuster and open TRACK1.
The output file is where your EBOOT.PBP file will show up. (I normally put it in a new folder with the game titled as well) after all that it populates with the game id automatically.

6.) close the convert menu and click on customize EBOOT.PBP file. This is for pictures and .pmf files and icon files, as well as at3 file. For those of you who don’t know what these files are they are to put animation under your menu is your PSP when you play the file. you’ll hear music with the .pmf file and have your own custom pictures as well.Don’t ask me how to make then I only downloaded them and I’m not giving website you can figure that out google is your friend on that one.

If you don’t customize just skip step 5 and go back to the convert menu in PSXPSP v1.4 and click on convert at the bottom. then your done and can play your game.

As far as for multidisc EBOOT.PBP file SURPRISE I found out how to do it.
OK to do multidisc EBOOT.PBP you need to switch to the classic mode when you first load PSX2PSP v1.4 and then there is a drop down box on the left hand side of you.

Step 1: under ISO/PBP File select you track1 by clicking on the little square

Step 2: to add a 2nd disc,3rd disc,4th disc, etc… you click back in the same drop down box for where it reads ISO/PBP and select ISO/PBP file 1,2,3,4,etc for that disk number, then in little box choose that track1 file for each disk

step 3: make sure you select an output folder

Step 4: to customize you multidisc EBOOT.PBP on the right hand side where it reads icon again you don’t have to but it’s nice to add animated scenes or sound file a boot warning and a background.

Step 5: click on apply patches always apply patches. Then click on convert and you mulitdisc EBOOT.PBP is ready to go to your GAME file in your PSP.

Step 6: on your PSP to switch disc when prompt to just push the home button and it will read Switch Disc. And that is the entire walkthrough.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS. ENJOY AND DON”T STEAL ISO FILES.

There are some games like FF7 that needs to run on a diffrent popsloader
so you might want to follow this guide as well

1. Connect the PSP via USB and enable the USB connection.

2. Download Popsloader. Extract the archive and copy the seplugins folder to the root of your memory stick. (x:seplugins, if x is the drive letter of your PSP).

3. Download PSARDumper. This extracts required data from a firmware update. To install, simply extract the archive then copy the “newspsardumper” folder over to PSP/GAME on the memory stick.

4. Download the firmware update that corresponds to the version of POPS that you would like to install. Compatible firmware updates range from 3.00 to 3.72. Additionally, download links to all firmware update EBOOTs are available here.

Electrical machines by bl theraja pdf. 5. Copy the downloaded firmware update, named as EBOOT.PBP, over to the root of your memory stick. (X:EBOOT.PBP, if X is the drive letter of your PSP).

6. Navigate to the Game menu on your PSP and launch PSARDumper. Once launched, press square to begin extracting decrypted firmware files.

7. After a few minutes, the process should complete and your PSP will return to the XMB.

8. Once again, connect the PSP via USB and enable the USB connection.

9. Look for an F0 folder on the memory stick. Inside, copy the following files to the seplugins/popsloader folder, depending on the firmware update used:

3.00 – 3.03: kd/popsman.prx, kd/meaudio.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
3.10 – 3.30: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
3.40 – 3.72: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx, vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx

Once you’ve copied the files, make sure to add a version prefix at the end of the filename. i.e. if you used firmware 3.40, then rename popsman.prx to popsman340.prx, pops.prx to pops340.prx, and so on.

After you’ve done this, the F0 folder on your memory stick can be safely deleted. Simply repeat steps 4 – 9 to install another pops version.

10. Now enable the plugin. To do this, boot your PSP into recovery mode by holding R when turning the power switch on, then enter plugins, and enable popsloader.prx. Exit recovery mode.

11. Congratulations! Popsloader is now installed and ready to use!

The first time you run a PS1 game that has no popsloader settings, the plugin will display a menu to select the version of pops you wish to use. To change the specific pops version for a game that already has popsloader settings, hold the R Trigger while selecting the game from the XMB Menu.
