[PS2] POPS stuff & POPStarter

Bonjour "szczuru".

Tout est dit par kHn dans la documentation fournie avec "POPStarter Rev13 WIP02", il vous suffit de bien lire le fichier "1-INSTALLATION.TXT" qui est situé dans le dossier "Documentation".

Cordialement.


Hello "szczuru."


Everything is said by kHn in the documentation provided with "POPStarter REV13 WIP02" simply read the "1-INSTALLATION.TXT" file that is located in the "Documentation" folder.


Kind regards.

 

So we have finally USB support to POPS loader? Amazing!

I wonder if Hudson ever offered emulated PCE games in their PS2 BB Channel like they did in the PS3. It would be cool to have a PC engine emu for the PS2.

 

First of all, thanks for making these! I didn't mind the IGR screen being in Japanese once I'd figured out which button was Yes and No but it's still a really nice touch to be able to have them in different languages and to be able to pick a background! Personally I've gone for PS2 v1.

But just a quick question for you or anyone else who can answer this - is there a way to choose what happens when you do an in-game reset? At the moment, the default behaviour for me is it goes to the console's browser screen, where I can see my memory card. To play another game I then have to press Circle to go back out to my FMCB menu and then load OPL again (I'm using the apps menu in OPL to launch the ELF files for POPStarter).

Is there a way to make the POPStarter IGR take me to the FMCB menu instead of the browser? Or if I could get it to go back to OPL so that I can just pick another game right away that would be great.

 

Bonsoir "reddragon105".

Je vais essayer de me faire comprendre. Je suis Français et écrire en Anglais m'est difficile, je dois passer par un logiciel de traduction FR/EN pour que vous puissiez me comprendre. Si vous pouvez répondre en ma langue, je serai aussi plus à l'aise.

Si j'ai bien compris votre question, vous voulez que OPL démarre dès que l'on sort de "POPS" par un "IGR".
Le "IGR" vous ramènera toujours vers un redémarrage de la console.
Un moyen élégant serait que vous prépariez "FMCB" avec ses raccourcis clavier.
Par exemple : vous faites configurer une touche de votre manette qui devra rester appuyée avant que "FMCB" soit lancé.
Configurer "FMCB" pour cette action n'est pas difficile et reste un redémarrage vers OPL assez rapide.

Je n'ai pas plus rapide à vous proposer.

Cordialement.


Good evening "reddragon105."


I'll try to make myself understood. I am French and write in English is difficult for me, I must go through a translation software FR/EN for you to understand me. If you can answer my language, I will also be more at ease.


If I understand your question, you want OPL starts as soon as one leaves "POPS" with "IGR".
The "IGR" will always return you to restart the console.
An elegant way would be for you to prepare "FMCB" with its keyboard shortcuts.
For example: you configure a button on your controller which will remain supported until "FMCB" is launched.
Configure "FMCB" for this action is not difficult and is a reboot to OPL fast enough.


I do not have to offer you faster.


Kind regards.

A nice hint for those who don't know: try to use Open PS2 Loader. You'll have an accessible menu with all ELFs in the APP section, complete with cover art and pretty individual background images for each game. Well, at least if you configure it

The compatibility is pretty good for this emulator. Some games glitch out but it's generally minor stuff. Thanks to everyone who made this possible

 

Run FMCB configurator, go to "configure OSDSYS... >> go to the browser", set it as "force off". Save and OK.

 

Thanks ElPatas, achieving some solution let us know ! :-(

 

GUI for CUE2POPS_2_0.EXE

Bonjour "ryanzeus31"

Tout d'abord Merci pour votre travail. Je vais le tester très bientôt.

Je suis curieux de connaître la méthode pour injecter des "cheats codes" avec votre logiciel dans les jeux au format VCD.
Pourriez-vous faire une Documentation de votre programme qui détaille la façon employée pour injecter ces codes dans les VCD qui sont produits par "CUE2POPS v2.0"?


Merci par avance.


Cordialement.



Hello "ryanzeus31"


First of all thanks for your work. I will test it soon.


I'm curious to know the method to inject "cheat codes" with your software in games in VCD format.
Could you make a documentation of your program details how to inject the codes used in the VCD that are produced by "CUE2POPS v2.0"?




Thank you in advance.




Kind regards.

I don't know anything about cheat code, I just follow the "argument" in the cue2pops20's readme file, (cue2pops_2_0.exe "input.cue" trainer "output.vcd")
here some code sample by screenshot...



here the sourcecode ===> https://www.dropbox.com/s/5e2y7usfknzet91/CUE2POPS 2.0 GUI Sourcecode.zip?dl=0 (Visual Studio 2010 Solution file)

 

cue2pops could support .ccd .img .iso. .PBP .mdf

 

Krhacken, Everyone. Help me out here. I'm currently playing Valkyrie Profile and it's freezing on some parts. Do I have to put up a patch it up with something? This game is really worth of playing.

 

anyone tried to combine disks, as they did with Metal Gear Solid.?

 

Is it possible? How can I do it? The game will still work properly right?

 

yes it possible

as obedineny multi game?
for example, metal gear solid
Unpack the archive MGS1.rar games should be in the format bin/cue, or ccd / img / cue images .In bin/cue, only rename ??? 1.bin and ??? 2.bin .Ih files names should be eve -1.bin and eve-2.bin (respectively the first and second drive) .If images in a format ccd / img / cue, then rename only img files to the same name (eve-1.bin and eve-2.bin expansion img change to bin) .renamed files, copy the unpacked folder MGS1 .launch file extract.bat .created two folders cd1 and cd2 to extract a file rename images games.now eve-1.bin in mgs-1.bin and run the file psxtoolz.bat .In window that opens, look for the line Data: 1998-09-09 .If there, then run the file cd2dvd_10.bat, if 1998-16-09, then run cd2dvd_11.bat (these files in the patch) .wait completion (disabling change game discs) .After copy the entire contents of the folder cd2 (!) in a folder merge .Then everything from my cd1 (!) there too and agree on all the substitutions!) .Now run the file build.bat (folder merge). after completion of the process will be a new folder merge games bin / cue (mgs1.bin / mgs1.cue) .then as usual CUE2POPS_21_B1.EXE, XX. ???. ELF etc. Checked on the original version (US), along the passage problems vozniklo.Sohraneniya not work without problems. Thanks for the instructions in the user denben0487


(images must be renamed to eve-1.bin and eve-2.bin as in the archive is extract.bat the game parasite eve)

TRANSLATED using google translate

here is a archive for mgs1 https://yadi.sk/d/mrGwur2PawcnE

link for other games https://app.box.com/s/b02715f2fe91cdc42fd1

 

For curiosity, I make a test:
Legend of Dragoon with combined disks , I have black screen on two moments: after battle results, in first battle and Loading a save file.

 

Anyone tried combining Valkyrie profile disc1 with disc2? Thanks for the reply karenjan99. Anyway, I still haven't find a way to fix freezing problems on Valkyrie Profile using popstarter wip02.

@krHACKen
Could IGR combination keys be changed?
Sometimes we need to press L1+R1+SEL+STR to back to main menu in games(such as Marvel VS Capcom), but that will firstly trigger IGR of POPS.
So if the IGR combination keys can be changed to L2+R2+SEL+STR or something similar, that would be more convenient.

 

I not encountered any problem with IGR in all the games which i tested including Marvel vs Capcom,
maybe you have any type of problem on your console.

Regards.
