[PS2] POPS stuff & POPStarter

I got Daemon Tools Pro. I put all of the .bin files and the image file/cue?(1Kb) into the same folder. I made a virtual drive and added the image or cue?? to the virtual drive. This is where I am stuck. Do I create a new image or convert image? I tried to do both but then it gave me an option to name the file and set directory?? (I have no clue what to do). I think that I am on the right path (ha,ha) but need help. Thanks in advance.

 

You have always to open the .cue file, it have all information about the .bin files.

I recommend you to use CDmage to join the .bin files, just open the program, open the .cue file and go to File-->Save As and you will get what you want.

Greetings.

 

Small update: I tried the NTSC-U release of Quake II and it seems to run fine without the above issue. Not sure though if my PAL VCD is faulty or if it's really the version differences...

 

MartinBiohazard, Thanks for the recommendation of CDmage (rkHacken also recommended this software). I downloaded and used CDmage in the way stated above but none of the games (Frogger, Centipede, and Ms. Pacman - Maze Madness) worked. The .bin files were merged and cue2pops used afterwards to create the .VCD file. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Also there are several PS1 games that have (image file:1Kb, Image files:xxx,xxx kb, CCD file: 1kb, and SUB file: x,xxx kb) when extracted. What software can I use to get these games to work and what are the steps? Thanks again.

 

Hey there I'm new here and I didn't understand hw to convert psx gameshark cheats to ps2 raw can anyone please make a vide or a full tutorial on how t it please ?? I really need and thanks in advance

 

@belzack1991: First you need raw PS1 codes, if they are encrypted you can use a tool like Omniconvert. Then add $10000000 to the addresses and choose the correct code type (typically you only need to change the first digit of the addresses):

Now they can be used for POPS by applying with a PS2 cheat engine (don't forget the mastercode for POPS: 902377F4 0C0902EF).

 

I can't find it in discussion, so i'm asking
Can somebody explain me what does "PATCH_7", "PATCH_8" and "PATCH_9" really do ?
Patches numbered 1-6 are nicely described here, as it was uplinked in Compatibility modes README, but not those three.
Thanks in advance for any help.

 

PATCH_7? I don't have any patch called like this, it directly jump from 6 to 8. Anyways, as stated in file "4-HELP", you can use them to force the emulation video mode (PAL/NTSC). However, if you're not dealing with pre-patched isos (those labeled with PAL/NTSC Fixed) but with regular dumps you don't have to worry about it.

 

here is a patches 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9 i think patch 0 and 4 is the same but if you open that files in hex you can see differences. patch 6 and 7 is the same too but you can see differences in hex too. patch 8 uses to fix screen in pal games if patch 8 cant do this you can use patch 9, its disables auto pal patcher PATCH_8 FORCE_PAL_PATCHING PATCH_9 DISABLE_AUTO_PAL_PATCHER sorry for my bad english

 

EDIT:

WOW. I renamed POPS.ELF instead of POPStarter.ELF for each file. Stupid mistake, but it's all working now. I'll leave this post just in case someone else does the same thing!


------------------------------------------

I'm not able to run games from my HDD. They do run from a USB stick.
My setup is just like the readme example "Internal HDD, New Launch Type"

Code:

__common/POPS/IOPRP252.IMG
__common/POPS/POPS.ELF
__.POPS/Gran Turismo.VCD
__sysconf/FMCB/Gran Turismo.ELF

When I map the Gran Turismo.ELF to a FMCB menu item, it doesn't show up in my list.
When I launch Gran Turismo.ELF from uLaunchELF 4.42e_HDD, it (crashes? It flashes a series of small colored lines in the top left of my screen) and returns back to the original PS2 memory card (Browser) screen OR the FMCB 1.94 main menu.
This same behavior happens if I move Gran Turismo.ELF to a memory card, and attempt to launch from there. (Although in this case the FMCB menu entry does appear)

I created my ~20GB __.POPS partition in uLanuchELF, after creating the +OPL partition, and before I installed any PS2 games.

Thoughts?

 

Good job

 

AVISO: O download, não tem nenhum software proprietário, nenhum jogo, ou qualquer coisa sobre isso.

Minha lista do PopStarter_13_WIP2-HDUSB.
Eu demorei mais de sete meses para terminar esta lista, testando jogo por jogo sozinho (Deu um trabalhão, perdi muito tempo da minha vida fazendo isso, mas, não me arrependo), eu também fiz todos os tutoriais, vÃdeos, IGR Textures personalizados para cada jogo da lista, e os programas “.bat”. Eu não ganhei nenhum centavo por este trabalho todo, foi simplesmente o prazer de ajudar. Isso mesmo, eu só quero colaborar, claro, com muitas limitações de conhecimento.
Se alguém quiser colocar este conteúdo em outros downloads (eu não sei se vou deixar este download por muito tempo), esteja à vontade, mas, por favor deixe os créditos.
Eu demorei bastante tempo e tive muita paciência para terminar isso, por favor, cuidado com as crÃticas.

My list of PopStarter_13_WIP2-HDUSB.
It took me more than seven months to complete this list, testing game by game alone (I took a lot of work, lost a lot of time of my life doing it, but, do not regret it), I also did all the tutorials, videos, custom IGR Textures for each game from the list, and the “.bat” programs. I did not get a penny for all this work, it was just pleased to help. That's right, I just want to work, of course, with many limitations of knowledge.

nice work thanx

 

You care a lot for detail, that's for sure. Holy shot!
Thnk you ver much!

 

"Do POPStarter recognize a same folder to Memorycards, example: The “final fantasy IX” game is divided into 4 parts, so do these four shares only recognize a folder, rather than 4 separate folders, so Memorycards serve for 4 VCDs."

joseri, for games with multiple CDs, they will work together if I put the .VCDs into the same folder? I just have to name them the same if I include "_CD#" at the end of the name for that particular .VCD?

 

I will do the test, thank you.

'm having trouble with the POPS REV 13 in HD, I found some tips on posts. Will test soon, thanks for them also.

Edit: Print for erro.

 

Não. No texto “Pedidos_Requests.pdf”, são pedidos que eu faço para o desenvolvedor “mudanças no PopStarter”.

Just grab POPS decrypted files again, from somewhere else.

 

Hello DaSA, thanks for help-me. I downloaded the POPS from the PASTE BIN website (aka krHACKen), but the problem keeping happen. Is there any solution for this problem? This version doesn't have problem when its used in any USB port.

 

If you got such files from original source & got them working from usb, then I dont know. Its weird. Maybe kHn could help you if he drops by here.
