[PS2] POPS stuff & POPStarter

Thanks but the link is dead.

 

Weird cuz its working for me, I could download the kit... check your pm.

 

Weird. Here's the link in mobile view http://i.imgur.com/EVgXF2b.png
But it works if I force desktop view..

 

friend as cheats activated?I follow your instructions but the game remains the same without cheats.
explains how active please.

 

Okay, then I suppose that we'll keep this on hold for now then. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

Sorry to hear that.
On the contrary, I should be the one apologizing to you instead, since your project has got nothing to do with the decisions surrounding another project.

Again, thank you for the information.

 

You don't have to apologize for anything, since the decisions surrounding the "official" maintenance of the other project did not force me to stop maintaining POPStarter...
Now the situation looks a lot better [than all the extreme shitness I've been informed a few days ago], I should resume the POPStarter development as soon as I personally can.

Top priority research for the building of the next beta would be focussed on Castlevania Chronicles and that issue ElPatas reported. PS-X OSD related problems are tedious, what on earth the built-in BIOS is made of ? I need to get rid of all the built-in BIOS problems so the users don't need the compatibility mode 0x06 or an external BIOS to boot their games. For now I can't debug anything due to the lack of PS2 stuff...

@DaSA , thanks for posting the OBT7 link and that nice tutorial sir. Added to the 1st post.

 

Hello krHACKen. Please add Correct problems with flickering textures in Tekken 3. Thanks .

 

Hey,
Would it be possible to make a DVD version of POPStarter? One that runs off of the DVD drive and saves to the memory card?
I ask this because then users could install games to HDD for use in OPL (like a native PS2 game).

The above would negate the need to place all games in a single partition with a finite space.

 

SkySnake, its be a cool, we can also run popstarter dvd isos by smb fom pc )
there is a cd patch for POPS-00001 but it doesnt work (

 

friend can deliver the strong code
so there will be more versions of pops and will not have much weight on you

 

So.. can't finnish Syphon Filter 3 because of a bug with an infrared sniper rifle. It's supposed to look like the first pic but looks like the second one.

POPS bug http://i.imgur.com/rpfAB62.png
This bug is present in Syphon Filter 1 too but the rifle isn't needed to finnish the game there.
Is there somekind of fix for this?

 

Has anyone had any success getting a Gameshark or Action Replay copy to work with POPS ? I've tried a few Gamesharks, but to no avail...

EDIT : Is it even possible to use a Gameshark at all with POPS ? Because the way Gameshark works is such that a second game is (soft)-booted after the initial boot up. There's no way of selecting the ELF files though Gameshark, it can only launch from discs. And the POPS system can't launch from discs, only ELFs, right ?

Say, assuming that a version of Gameshark works with POPS, and then I insert a PSX game disc afterwards, will it boot and read from the disc ?

 

No it will not.
Afaik you have to create a textfile with the codes you want for each game and they'll be automatically loaded. At least that's how it is with opl.

 

I see, thank you for clearing my doubts. I currently use uLaunchELF to boot the PSX files from a USB flash drive. I've not tried OPL yet, but I'll look into it for sure !

 

About the game Castlevania: Symnphony of the Night, from which time to time receive reports about random freezes
in various places, definitely there is something wrong which the integrated Mode 1 do not fixes.

Recently the user "zephon_sotn" encountered one freeze which is not random, occurs always in the same point, tested
in the NTSC-U and NTSC-J versions, also tested in the internal HDD and in a USB device.

After 10 minutes of play when you reach the Outer Wall (the area where there is fog), there is a portal for teleport to the
initial area, if you use it and then you return and enter again into the Outer Wall then is when the game freezes.
NOTE, you should always use teleportation to leave and to return again, then cross the Loading corridor and when
entering on it is when freezes.

Off course you can avoid this freeze, just not using the teleporters or making a different steps, but is good that
having this freeze which can be studied more easily that anyone random, and probably fixing this freeze can
fix all the random freezes in others parts of the game.

The user made a video for check where happens the freeze and provide also the save game for the NTSC-U version:

Hello!
Firstoff I'd like to thank everybody involved in popstater development, its such a great work, it's amazing to play PS1 games with the PS2.

Second, I'd like to ask: What about the game Barbie Explorer (SLUS-01361) ? Its an adventure game which looks a lot like Tomb Raider.
My girlfriend used to play this game in her childhood and it seems to be broken.
You can launch the game but when you choose to play the Tibet Adventure, the game freezes.
Has anybody tried it?
I've tried every trojan you provided with no luck.

Best regards!

sorry but i se that only when i finished ....jejejeje
and you know something about i asked ????'

 

I encountered another rare case of a PAL game which don't like the automated PAL patch integrated
in the emu, like Driver 2.
Is the game Tom and Jerry House Trap (PAL) (SLES-03181), which freezes at the initial loading
when the game checks the memory cards, deactivating the PAL patch with PATCH_9.BIN the
game continues loading and works fine.

Best regards.
