go to game on your Memory stick and your PSX game should be there with the ICON you selected (and any other added pics/movies) Keep the EBOOT in the named folder and drag the folder into PSP/GAME of your memory stick. Now open the output folder (the one you selected for the game to be saved in after converting), You should see a folder named after the game you've just converted containing a "EBOOT.PBP" file. usually around 30% but I've had games that have compressed in excess of 80%! it also compresses the original PSX file. for the icon image the file must be ICON0.PNG
I usually only use the first one "ICON IMAGE" as this is all you need to easily identify your game from the PSP's XMB. the right hand set of dropdowns allows you to select various images and videos to accompany your game icon.
*NOTE: this would be a good time to select OPTIONS and then FOLDER then under "auto-create folder on convert" select create game title folder (this makes it easier to locate your PSX games if you convert quite a few, if you don't tick this it will save the eboot.pbp in a folder named after the PSX games serial number. *NOTE: long file names and/or foreign characters may corrupt the data, shorten the Game Title and Main Game title if needed. simply select the folder you would like the completed file to end up in. Once selected all of the left hand side should be auto-filled for you except the output folder. Select the "ISO/PBP file " dropdown and find the ISO, IMG or BIN of the PSX game you wish to convert.
You cannot reconvert an already converted EBOOT.pbp file.Įither use the starting image or use Extract ISO to get yourself the image and then use the image to convert (I encountered this when I wanted to change the pictures or sound since I didn't like it).Then choose the interface you wish to use (I always use Classic because I find it's a lot easier and gives the same results)
All of your pretty little backgrounds and stuff won't be saved but at least it will play. If it is indeed a problem game, then use popstation and popsloader. If not, then feel free to ask on the forum.įeel free to try using Icetea, although I haven't had any problems with PSX2PSP. Make a folder for the EBOOT.pbp file since if you want more than one PSX game, you'll need to separate them since they cannot have the same filename in the same location.
This gives you the rigid preview icon thing like most PSP games are normally.Īfter that, you have to put the EBOOT.pbp file (found on your desktop that's in a folder (probably the SLUS ID tag) onto your PSP. Make it exactly like this one and you'll like the results better than the default bubbly icon crap. Hit Convert when you are satisfied with your setup. If you don't have a similar screen, you either have an older version or a newer version. This is what the first screen looks like.Īll of the fields are explained on the picture. This is the popstation image packs to customize the boot screens of your EBOOT files so that they have a moving picture, background, music, icon in the PSP XMB menu.ĭownload some pretty pictures and since you can't preview the sound, or the animations, just get one and see if you like it when you have a finished product. The program that I will be using is called PSX2PSP. Not too sure about the obscure ones like. img file? It says right on extension of the file. cue isn't important since you are not burning the image). Let's assume that the game that you have is Final Fantasy IX (Disc 1). You cannot play this image directly using your PSP. There is more than one method to getting the same product so I will be covering only Method 1, which is this one.
This tutorial was made so that other people can refer this tutorial to those who ask how to get it working. I thought this was common sense for anyone who has a CFW'ed PSP but here we go.
