If you want to add a background or icon for when the eboot is selected in the XMB, just put them into the PyPOPS folder, named ICON0.png, PIC0.png like normal.

There have been a few posts recently talking about creating eboots for multi-disk PSX games to be played on PSP. After having a look into it my self to create a MGS eboot, I thought i'd right a quick guide to try and helps others out.

Some of the old PSX games such as Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy etc were on 1 or more CD's,which gives a problem when converting to be played on PSP as some of them didn?t give the opportunity to save the game before switching disks. Therefore, when you load up a separately created eboot (for disk 2 for example), it shows that there is no save data.

Because of this, it is necessary to create a combined eboot file from both of the disks together.

To do this, first download PyPOPS from HERE. You will also need to download and install the Python Interpreter, which you can get from HERE.

Unzip the PyPOPS file, and double click PyPOPS.py. This will open a GUI, and a black command window. DO NOT CLOSE THE COMMAND WINDOW.

Make sure you have images of the disks you want to convert (use IMGBURN?here). Now, just select the files you wish to convert, and make sure the compression is set to 9.
If you want to add a background or icon for when the eboot is selected in the XMB, just put them into the PyPOPS folder, named ICON0.png, PIC0.png like normal.

Finally, just make sure the games title (see update 2) and code are correct (see update 1 for info on how to find the game code), and make the eboot.
Commands will show in the black command window, just leave it alone and let it do its thing. When it?s finished, your eboot will be output into the PyPOPS folder.

Copy his into the \PSP\GAME folder of your memory card, and it should play from there.

Note that depending on your firmware, you may have to install POPSLOADER to run PS1 games properly. I am running 3.71 M33-4, and have never had any problems at all.

All credit for the PyPOPS program goes to darkthorne of qj.net (HERE).


This is the first guide I have written, so feedback etc is welcome.

Hope that helps a few people out.

UPDATE 1: PyPOPS requires the GAME CODE of the game you are converting for it to make the combined eboot. If the game code is not entered, you will receive error saying something like "Invalid number of arguments...the system cannot find the file specified.".
The easiest way i have found to get the game code is using ICETEA, which is single eboot creator (download HERE). Unzip the file (you must unzip it to use the game id autodetect feature), and run icetea.exe. When the GUI has loaded, select the image file (.iso/.bin etc) of the first disk of your game. The game code will then be displayed on the right hand side of the window, in the Game ID box. It should be something like SLPS01222.
Copy this code into the GAME CODE field in PyPOPS, and you should't get the errors anymore.

UPDATE 2: It has become apparent that some people have been having problems with an error along the lines of syntax incorrect when creating the eboot. To fix this problem, when inputting the GAME TITLE, ensure no spaces are entered. eg for Final Fantasy 7, enter FinalFanasy7. This will stop the syntax error and your eboot should be created correctly. Thanks to Hasan93, SithProbe and Nomad32 for bringing this to my attention :).
