Hacking Guide to: Converting PS1 games for PSP

[Alexander1970]

Is this guide still up to date?

Hello.

Yes on the First 'Page the guide suits.
Only one Note: Personal I will set the compression of the ISO max. to 2.Any higher ones may causes issues.
(got that tip from @Ryccardo =

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good advice.

Anyone knows the limit the PSP has for the size of memory cards? I am using an adapter with a 32 GB micro SD (Ended as 29 GB after being formated in PSP format but whatever.) and is working fine.

there are some games that are acually just ports of the PS1 version for psp, it's possible to make the reverse way and play them back on a ps1?

No, the PSP hardware is less powerful. It struggles even to run a Nes or Master System emulator. Even a "PS1" with the extra Ram memory would be unable to.

Sure, from a technical stand point is technically possible but only for those games whose raw Roms fit on a CD, but you would need to make so many coding changes is not worth it.

Not to mention PSP games are made to work on small screens, some would not work well on a TV.

Edit: But if you want to waste years just to show off and do something like making Sonic Rivals 1 work on a PS1, go ahead, is your time after all.

Thank you.

Filetrip is now closed.

[Filetrip will be closed definitely on March 31st. Please backup your files before the end of the month Filetrip is now permanently closed]

 

[Alexander1970]

Filetrip is now closed.

If you say so.
And that prevents you from CLICK on the LINK and DOWNLOAD it ?

 

[raxadian]

Well, everything worked fine. I still think we should make backups of things for when the Filetrip site finally goes down.

Is a shame Crash Team Racing never had online play, is definitely better if you have someone to play with.

Edit: Found the button.

as i see, filetrip closed, but i got the files before it close, so i reuploaded on mega: https://mega.nz/#!aT4k1Cab!1_RREnI-O0GAWEfY-TAs4HzG4P_qMyJN2jTteQ7Klkw

(off topic!)

Anyone knows the limit the PSP has for the size of memory cards?

That depends on your operaring system - most 5.00+ CFWs support 1 TB (of course, larger capacities mean longer mounting times since it has to calculate free space every time the XMB loads)

a 32 GB micro SD (Ended as 29 GB after being formated in PSP format but whatever

good old binary versus decimal gigabytes

You can still download it from FileTrip.

 

[skykorn]

This works with iso images of unofficial translations of games as well?

For now. FileTrip might disappear at any time now that's closed.

yeah, it's beacuse that that i reuploaded in mega, if filetrip disappear...

 

[HMAlice_McNeil]

Thank you for the advice.

Yes. Tested on a that Digimon game translation. Just remember Japanese games might use the O button instead of the X button for "Yes".

Hello.

I converting these 3D Adventure games like Dracula 1+2,Amerzon,Versaillle,Atlantis and so on.They work great after choosing the matching POPSLoader Version at the Boot up.
They are ALL German Versions (certainly...)

Today I have a little "troubles" with this one:

Official Title Necronomicon - Die Dämmerung der Dunkelheit
Common Title Necronomicon - Die Dämmerung der Dunkelheit
Serial Number(s) SLES-03495 & SLES-13495
Region PAL
Genre / Style Adventure
Developer Cryo Interactive Entertainment.
Publisher Wanadoo.
Date Released 9 November 2001

In PSX2PSP 1.4.2 this game is not found.
Only this Informations are there:

If I try then to complete the Title(s)/ID´s manually

I get only a EBoot.PBP File that shows on the PSP a "Corrupted File" and is not to use.


(It says "Corrupt Data" and "The Game could not started.Data corrupted")

I think I do the steps like on all games before except the Game is not correctly recognized by PSX2PSP.



Thank you for any advises or Tip to get this one to work.

The solution is actually quite simple:

In the psx2psp\files Folder is file named "gameInfo.db".
This can be edited (I used the Windows Editor for it)

It is a List of US/PAL/JAP games in it.
Then I searched for my game and found 2 PAL entries (one for the ENGLISH and one for the FRENCH version).
You can now Editing an existing or create a new entry.

For my game it looks now like this:

SLES-03495;SLES03495;Necronomicon - Die Dämmerung der Dunkelheit [PAL-G];Necronomicon - Die Dämmerung der Dunkelheit [PAL-G] [Disc1of2];PAL;SLES03495
SLES-13495;SLES03495;Necronomicon - Die Dämmerung der Dunkelheit [PAL-G];Necronomicon - Die Dämmerung der Dunkelheit [PAL-G] [Disc2of2];PAL;SLES13495

As I said, very simple.

Maybe this helps other users with the same challenge.

Thank you for reading.
