I've Tryed to Drag and drop like with the CPS2 emu converter but no Luck I read The read me it says to use RUN to run the converter, I did That but I'm Not understanding how to put the iso (file name) in the RUN command line so it will work .
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\popstation\popstation.exe"


where do I insert the iso name on the command line?

The latest custom firmware from Dark_Alex called 3.02 OE-B allows you to pay your own converted PSONe games. You use a program called popstation.exe to convert them.

Anyways, just see my guide:
http://eternal-psp.a22.biz/index.php?opt...id=32&Itemid=28
(Scroll down to the "HOW TO CONVERT PSX GAME FOR USE ON 3.02 OE-B" section).

EDIT: Woops, just saw that someone else posted a link to my guide.

Anyway, yeah I'm looking for a way to fix it as well, I'll keep your posted.

yo super sorry I saw your fix on another post my bad eternalis

Quote:
You have to go to Tools-->Folder Options-->View and then untick "Hide extensions for known file types".

Then add the PNG files called ICON0.PNG and PIC0.PNG.

Yeah thats the url. Thats strange, I just clicked it now and it worked. I'm using Firefox too.

Try going to http://www.eternal-psp.vze.com or http://www.eternal-psp.a22.biz and manually browsing to my guide.

Also try clearing your browser's cache.

Ok, now I know whats wrong now.

The size of your PNG files is probably too high (thats what happens to me).

Try make them smaller or just change the icon instead of the background as well then it will work.

A little update, I reduced my icon and background 4 folds.
I compared the sizes to the save icon/backgrounds in my SAVEDATA folder and for some they are lower in KB size then those from official psp games. I made another eboot of the game with the reduced icon and background and nothing... this is litterly driving me insane. This will be my last request I promise...
Could you maybe go into detail from the very start where you have an .img of the psx game too you actually playing it with the working icon/background. You dont have to but it will be a great help perhaps. thanks for all the previous info and help you've given me and others.

I'm pushing this one back up as my question never got answered :P I think its due to using and img and not an iso. I reduced my icon size aswell.

Ok, to your bat file, add (on a new line) "pause" (minus the quotes).

Now run popstation.bat and see what the error message is.

When I orginally did this I got no error, it just made the eboot and left out the icon/pic0 and pic1. I added pause and it actually still made the same eboot. Here are some picks that if at all can help you with my problem is awsome.
1. My popstation folder
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j94/xxsaijin/popfolder.jpg
2. My bat file
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j94/xxsaijin/batfile.jpg
3. When I click the batfile to begin the process.

Rename the ICON0.PNG to just ICON0 and the PIC0.PNG to PIC0 and the PIC1.PNG to PIC1. Then run popstation.bat again.
