Place the whole folder onto your PSP memory stick pro duo here:

and the next time you boot your CFW enabled PSP with the memory stick inserted, the game will show up under your Games.
Enjoy.

Dunuck, Chrono is one of the tough games to get working according to this comat list:

They suggest you use an alternate I scus-94640

You should have seen this drop down while converting. and you can type it in directly. If only the compressed version works for you, then there is only that option.

I was curious to know what size the images need to be in order to match them to the correct ratio for the PSP's display, and also to match the other icons that show up for regular PSP games. I found this in another guide, elsewhere:

Icon Image: This is the Icon you will see on the left whilst looking for the game.
The size should be set to "144x80" and be a PNG file.

Background image: This is the background image, pretty obvious. This will be
"480x272" and is also a PNG file.

Would you agree with those sizes? I noticed that you use a more square icon with your eboots, since you use the front cover, but most PSP games seem to have a rectangular icon.

EDIT: Regarding the icon images, never mind. I see that the software chooses a square image, even if the chosen image has different proportions. The background image looks good though, at that resolution.

EDIT x2: Don't mind me~ It seems that entering "options" allows you to change the icon from "default 80x80" to simply "default" which allows the 144x80 image size to be used for your eboot's icon, thus creating an icon the same shape and size as the icons associated with PSP .isos patched to run with CFW. This is nice for people like me, who prefer things to be as uniform as possible.

Thank you so much, I've been searching for a good tutorial on this for SO long, YOU are the best! Cheers.

Also im wondering does this same method work for PSP ISO's? if not is there a place which explains that process?

why would you need to convert a PSP iso???

[ephesians_613]

I really have No idea, I'm have no idea about most of this stuff. So are you saying i just need to download a PSP ISO and drop it in games folder? or is there more to it then that?

[kripz]

No what you do for a psp iso is create an iso folder in capitals in the root of your Go and place the iso in there for a psx convert you make a folder in the psp game folder where fast recovery should be and place the eboots in there

Who said anything about a pspgo?
PSP isos will run without changing anything, granted your PSP is hacked. It is running custom firmware, yes?

PSP UMD images be that they are iso or cso (cso files are just compressed iso files) just get dumped directly into an ISO folder in the root, also do not create sub folders inside the ISO folder

I was referring to the poster above me who has a Go I should have quoted them, apologies for the confusion

A simple miss understanding as the poster did not state in this thread that the PSP was the Go version, makes no difference it's the same process no matter what PSP is used, as the ISO folder is in the root of the storage be that a Go a 3k , 2k or 1k PSP
