So I'm pretty sure a number of the best games' eboots don't work. Here's a list I compiled:
FF8
FF7
Beyond the Beyond
Musashi
Granstream Saga
Front Mission 3
FF9
Legend of Dragoon
Parasite Eve 1
Parasite Eve 2
Saga Frontier 1
Saga Frontier 2
Silent Hill
Star Ocean 2
Suikoden
Tales of Destiny
BoF 3 and 4
Bushido Blade 2
Tales of Destiny 2
Valkyrie Profile
Vandal Hearts 2
Wild Arms 2
Feel free to test and verify.
I haven't bothered looking up everything on that list but why are you even trying to use conversions instead of PSOne Classics :?Quote:

Also are you using an emulator or actual hardware because last I checked PPSSPP doesn't run Eboots.
Yes, could you please share more details? In what way were they not working for you? I can look into replacing them, then.
May I share one odd thing that honestly fixed some seemingly broken eboots for me? I mean assuming this is on a modded PSP of course, otherwise there is your problem :P
Download and unpack the file
Remove the eboot from the folder
Create a new folder and name it what you want
Put eboot in new folder
Put folder with eboot inside in correct place on PSP
Why does that work? Why not just rename the folder it comes in? I honestly have NO idea, but seriously try it as it has worked for me on more than one occasion!
Sorry for the late reply guys.
I'm running a PSP 3000 with CFW 6.60. I need the Eboots because I stay mobile most the time. I have the popstation GUI to make my own, but don't know how to add the icons, wallpapers, combine discs, etc.
When I move them onto the PSP, they show the icon if they work. If they don't work, they show up as "corrupted data", while still taking up the same amount of space.
Rich, I think I'll try that with a "broken" one, but doubt that's it, since others I've downloaded work just fine.
Thanks for the help!
Fuckin A.
Beyond the Beyond just worked by changing folders...I have slow DL speeds and limited bandwidth here, but I'll go to my sisters and try others today.
I'll keep you updated.
Wow, are there any hidden files in the folder that get created during extraction? This is really strange!
If you don't mind, @TheAlienElite could you please see if the others work? Or if anyone else wants to chime in, that helps too!
To TheAlienElite,
See how freaky it is when something that is both simple and makes no sense, actually works? :P As for making your own eboots? I suggest trying PSX2PSP (I'm using version 1.4.2), as a novice to this kind of stuff it's pretty easy to add my own background and icon etc.
To MasJ,
I have checked numerous games and nope there is literally just the eboot inside the folder like there should be. I honestly wish I understood what making a new folder for it actually did and WHY it makes a difference though.
Oh and if you change the name of the folder it doesn't work either, only if you make a new one and name it..... really strange.
I have never gotten Brave Fencer Musashi to work. I have tried every version of POPS (I have a PSP 3000 with CFW 6.60) and it always freezes/reboots after I skip the opening video. I downloaded it from EP and usenet with the same result.
@TheAlienElite,
I can help you test out whichever ones don't work, so let me know, as I have a good cable connection.
I am curious about creating my own eboots, but like you, lack the time. There are many guides on doing this, but which tutorial is the best at creating eboots?
Sorry for the absence guys. So far, simply making new folders for the eboots fixes the issue for the vast majority of files I've downloaded. I actually don't even attempt to use the eboots before doing this now.
Out of ~80 eboots, I only had 5 show up as corrupted data. What's weird though is that one of them, Lunar SSSC, had worked previously, so I'm not sure it's the eboots at all. Maybe something happens during the download? I just downloaded it again and will try it today or tomorrow.
As for making your own, I've only used popstation, but next time I might try the psx2psp that wad mentioned. I noticed that a few Eboots I got from ISO ZONE (because they have a few that have combined discs like Parasite Eve 2) have pretty awesome animations and music when selected on the menu that's what I'd like all mine to be like.
Oh and to XC, that's very strange about Musashi. Never had a problem with that one. I'm starting to wonder if the issue is connection or hardware based.
TheAlienElite,
What settings do you use to get Brave Fencer Musashi to work?
