PopsLoader for Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-2 Released

Submitted by greg; October 22, 2008

I know you've been anxiously waiting... Freshly compiled just for you... Snap, crackle, Dark_AleX's PopsLoader -- the dopest PSX/PSOne emulator for custom firmware 5.00 M33-2. System requirements, PopsLoader changes, installation and upgrading, downloads, etc... -- all available after this break. Requirements:

5.00 M33-2.

PopsLoader changes:

Works on 5.00.
Added 3.80, 3.90 and 4.01.

Upgrading from an older version of PopsLoader:

Copy seplugins to the memory stick root folder replacing files.
Dump firmware 4.01 (choose decrypt all option in PSARDumper) and copy impose.prx to /seplugins/popsloader/ with that name (impose.prx, without numbers).

Install PopsLoader from scratch:

Copy seplugins to the memory stick root folder replacing files.
Dump the desired firmware to extract the files needed (choose decrypt all option in PSARDumper).
These are the required files for each firmware:
- 3.02-3.03: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /kd/meaudio.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx
- 3.10-3.30: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx
- 3.40-4.01: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx, /vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx
Copy the files to /seplugins/popsloader with firmware version as suffix (e.g. popsman.prx -> popsman380.prx)
Additionally, no matter which pops you want to run, you have to get impose.prx from 4.01 and copy it to /seplugins/popsloader/ with the name impose.prx (no suffix).

hey can anybody...ANYBODY tell me how to fix the problem with switching discs when playing a game with more than one disc? i have CFW 5.00 M33-2 installed and it works great. And i have driver 2 for psx ( 2 discs game) and when the screen tells me to swap discs.... i try to do it by clicking on the "Switch Discs" and it tells me " The game did not prompt you to switch discs. To switch discs and start another game, select [Reset Game]." This is anoying. I cant continue to play the rest of driver 2 cause it wont switch Discs right. Maybe is still not meant to work right in 5.00 firmware...or i probably didnt cinver it right. but i think i did. Can u try fixin ma problem greg? sorry for the long post.

# zero2029 2008-10-23 00:07

oops i meant to write "convert it right" the third last sentence.

# patz 2008-10-23 00:14

If someone could put together a package of all the POPs modules put together, I would be hella appreciative ;)

# ShaggyZE 2008-10-23 00:23

here are the POPS 3.30-4.01 with the latest popsloader www.realz2reelz.com/SEPLUGINS....

# crshovveride 2008-10-23 00:25

u need the 3.80/3.90/4.01 eboot on the root(whichever one you are doing) and name it eboot.pbp the run the program and press square to decript all

# limpbiz2789 2008-10-23 01:00

wtf's a popsloader lol
i'v seen people talk about it for the past week. what does it do?

# ncc 2008-10-23 01:03

allows u to play ps1 games on the psp

# limpbiz2789 2008-10-23 01:03

o ok, thats a weird name for it lol
thanks man

# lklklkk 2008-10-23 01:25

sorry but I used to play psone games without doing these things...
so what exactly is this ?

# ShaggyZE 2008-10-23 02:51

im unsure if it stands for anything other then popstation which is not to be confused with the knock-off imatator of the psp but anyway popsloader just loads the pops emulator from several versions of previous firmwares that had pops so that psx games made or converted for those firmwares or psone games that work better with those firmwares can still be played nicely in other words i can upgrade my psp to 5.00 M33-2 and still play a psone game perfectly as it was intended on 3.72 M33 firmware

# eddib 2008-10-23 05:36

great, thx dude, that saved me a whole bunch of PSAR dumping...

# eddib 2008-10-23 08:29

5.00m33-3 is out

# Antagonist 2008-10-23 10:33

Likewise. Popsloader worked fine for me on 5.00M33.

# cheese 2008-10-23 10:34

It simply allows you to load run psone games with the support of older firmwares, depending on the modules available in your popsloader folder.

# Dirkovat se musi furt! 2008-10-23 10:41

DAX is a legend and I want to thank to all people involved in development. Thnx a milion.

# djBo 2008-10-23 11:35

DAX your the best...

Tried this just now on 5.00M33-3 and works!

# John Rohan 2008-10-23 17:37

Thank you!!!

If anyone is reading this, just download the above, copy it to your seplugins folder, and enable it in the recovery menu. It will save you a LOT of time and trouble from going through the whole messy process above.

# John Rohan 2008-10-23 17:39

I should be more clear - download the file ShaggyZE put above, and it will save you from all the ridiculously complicated steps at the top of the thread.

# Cyber 2008-10-24 04:09

F*** the PSN store
read this SORRY for the long post!!!

Now excuse us while we got stock up on tinfoil hats so Sony can't read our minds.

# Originality 2008-10-24 05:35

Yep, that's happening all over the world. America has it worst, but the top 6 IPSs in the UK are doing it too. The idea is an old one - crack down on piracy. If they catch any IP/user registered in PSN (or other official networks) connecting to and using illicit sites (psp-hacks being an obvious example, although it typically includes torrent sites and serial/crack/hack/warez sites too) then they reserve the right to restrict any service to you (in your case, PSN), even if you are paying them for the service.

Lesson to be learned: proxies are your best friend

# ShaggyZE 2008-10-24 06:49

i have re-uploaded popsloader now it includes all the pops firmwares so anyone who downloaded it previously re-download this one if you want them all.

# dnl 2008-10-24 07:25

Thank you dark alex! Dream come true!

# John Rohan 2008-10-24 11:05

Not for me.

PSAR Dumper doesn't work (keeps saying I need firmware 2.71 or above - I'm on 5.00 M33-3!!!)

WTF??

# John Rohan 2008-10-24 11:07

It was easier before. Now you have three different versions. What's up with that? Are you deliberately trying to confuse us or what?

# ShaggyZE 2008-10-24 13:36

well actually i have release it as a scene release because on some sites it has to be in that format, since i spent all that time decrypting firmwares i wanted to put it in more places on on torrents so thats just the way they like it to be, its not 3 different versions its a winrar file thats split up info 3 part files 15M a piece and thats just the way scene releases want it, but it shouldnt really be that confusing, first extract seplugins.rar, then extract anyone of the 3 because they all contain 1/3 part of a single rar and then just copy the files to your seplugins folder

# firefox0801 2008-10-25 12:54

Does anyone have any idea why it's not showing up in my plugins menu? Sorry I'm kinda a noob...

# mrblkmgic 2008-10-26 09:19

Ok, I'm definitely somewhat of a noob, but I downloaded from the link ShaggyZE provided (thnx). I'm loading from scratch.
1. Do I put the .rar files on the root of my memory stick or do I unrar each of the 3 .rar files and put the multitude of files located within those on the root of my memory? Sorry for the dumb question!

# mrblkmgic 2008-10-26 09:26

Nevermind, I see the SHaggyZE explained it above. Before I forget many many props to DAX.....you're a genius.

# mrblkmgic 2008-10-26 09:45

Nevermind, I see the SHaggyZE explained it above. Before I forget many many props to DAX.....you're a genius. With that being said, what else do I need to play ps1 games on my psp? Do I still need to use the psardumper if I have all the files in my seplugins folder on the root of my memory stick? Sorry for all the questions?

# gonaka 2008-10-27 09:08

Nope the PSAR dumper is only used to get the popsloader up and running manually. Once those files are in your seplugins folder thats you sorted (well, once you enable the plugin through the recovery menu ;] )

Now ya just gotta get PS1 Eboots and put them into your GAME folder, BAM! PS1 games on the go!

# PSP-GOD 2008-10-28 18:50

no need to repost this, as you're using the same host as previous post. may save people from re-downloading the same files and putting the same files back on their systems. nonetheless, awesome job posting this as this is the first time I've seen anyone do this work-saving group of pops files

# MUGEN 2008-10-31 21:28

# sethro454 2008-11-15 12:19

I can see all my titles on the MS but when I try to load it says they are corrupt and I cannot select FW by holding R help pleeese

# doomplayer75 2008-11-17 01:32

# jyu_bonk 2008-11-28 02:54

IS this homebrew for psp-3000? sorry im still noob in this thingy.

# enggmind19 2008-12-09 13:41

I have just purchased a slim psp with official psp firmware 3.95.I have read a lot of articles abt hacking the psp but they say you require pandora battery and magic memory card etc.The problem is where I live I dont have access to these things.Is there any way I can hack my psp to play downloaded games just by software.Waiting 4 ur replies.

# Pinky 2008-12-11 13:09

To use PSARDumper Download it from the PSP hacks page there will be two files when you extract it new_psardumper and src files copy the new_psardumper file to your psp/game5xx file then it should work under the game category on the psp but before it will do anything you must download a firmware such as 4.01 also located on psphacks website then extract it and copy the eboot.pbp file to your root directory of your psp then run the psardumper under your psp game category and select decrypt all when it is done there will be a new F0 file in your psp root directory of the memory stick that is all the files you need follow directions from psp hacks when you downloaded thre popsloader 5.00 and copy and paste those files where it indicates you to. When you have put all the files you needed into seplugins/popsloader file delete the F0 file and the Eboot.pbp file

# Pinky 2008-12-11 13:17

what you are missing is the original firmware version you want to add to the popsloader since some psx games work better with certain versions. ex original fw 4.01 download it extract it and copy the eboot.pbp file to the root of your memory stick then run psardumper decrypt all, a new file F0 appears in the root directgory of memory stick go there get the files you were told was needed copy them to seplugins/popsloader then when done delete the F0 file and the eboot file and if you want a different version of firmware do the same above for that version of original firmware.

# random 2009-01-11 00:07

cheers

# machiavelli 2009-03-21 06:52

Help, I've installed everything correctly (I hope). But when I try to load a game I just end up getting stuck at the PS Logo. I've tried to hold down the R button but nothing happens.

# Isaac Kingsley 2009-05-12 09:27

I installed OFW V 5.50 before i found out about homebrew

Is it still possible for me to install CFW
(Or downgrade) or will i have to wait till the 5.50 OFW Has been cracked?
I'll soon have a magic memory stick and Pandora Battery if that helps

I have a PsP-2000 Slim & Lite

# DataReader 2009-05-22 11:47

I also have a psp slim that had 5.50. with the MM stick and the Pandora you can still go to CFW without any need to downgrade.

# ShaggyZE 2009-09-18 19:02

my domain name has expired so the link i posted above is broken, so anyone still wanting to save time you can download the latest pops firmwares here.
