PopStation is a program that will convert your psx games into an eboot.

pbp playable
in 3.02 OE-B
firmware.

PopStation GUI is a program that provides a GUI for the original PopStation GUI.
The GUI is written
by danny_kay1710 (www.psp2k.com) whilst the program that does all the work
popstation.exe is written
by Dark_AleX.

European Games (PAL) are subject to graphical glitches so I would recommend you
stick to american
or japanese (NTSC) games where possible

Instructions:

* You will need to obtain Hot Shots 2 game from the Playstation Store.
* Then you will need to copy the "keys.bin" to the directory with the
PopStation.exe and PopStation GUI.exe
* Rename the "EBOOT.PBP" of Hot Shots 2 to "BASE.PBP" and put it in the same
directory as the "keys.bin"
file as mentioned above

NOTE: Theoretically any game could be used but as it has been designed to use HOT
SHOTS 2 USA it may
be best to stick with it. You need the game in order to get the data.psp
and a few bits of data).

* Backup your psx CD to a cd image, using some tool for that, It must be a ISO, BIN
or IMG file
* Put the iso in the same directory than popstation.
* Execute PopStation GUI.exe and click the button with 3 dots on it to bring up a
file dialog box,
you can change the file type you are looking for underneath the file name. The
ISO can be anywhere.
* Then click convert, if all files are in the right place it will start the process
* The program will generate the EBOOT.PBP, it may take some time, depending of the
size of the iso.

By default, the program will use the ICON0.PNG, PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG from the
BASE.PBP. (hot shots)
If you want to use your own pics, place them in the same directory as popstation
gui, and it will
use those instead

NOTE: DO NOT use programs such as pbpunpacker to modify pbp's generated by

popstation. They won't
work after that.

* Transfer the EBOOT.PBP WITH the KEYS.BIN to the folder you like inside /PSP/GAME
and launch it
from 3.02 OE-B XMB.

FAQ:

Q: My game generated is a lot higher in size than the same one from ps3store...
A: They use compression. Because the algorithm of compression is not still
reversed, compressed
 isos are not supported yet.

A: use the bin as the iso.

Q: I have my game in img/ccd...

A: Use the img as the iso.

Q: The savegames have the icon of Hot Shots 2!!!
