Well, I did alot of reading around and found some good tutorials and faqs on how to do pretty much anything to your PSP, so I decided I would make a post to help anyone else here on how to do their own soft mods.
I spent alot of time looking to find websites that were clear enough for me since I am kind of new at this, and I think the links below are some of the best you can find on the web.
I will give a brief description on what is in each link, and the link itself, also, if you find a good link yourself that you think would help others, post here.
http://www.dark-alex.org/
Well, this is the page of the man himself who brought us the ability to add custom firmware to our little PSP's. Here you can downoad all your firmwares, updates, 1.50 kernal addons, and all the popsloaders to increase compatibility with your games.
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=8790...
This page is what got me on track as to what POPsloader is, what it does, and how it works, along with how to install it. Basically, popsloader is a plugin that lets you revert to different firmware emulations for compatibility reasons. For example, if you decide to install Resident Evil 2 on your PSP, you may find that it is not compatible with your 3.80 m33 firmware you have installed. By using popsloader, you can load different pops that allows the game to run, such as reverting back to 3.52 for that particular game.
http://www.gamerspress.com/index.php?title=PSX_on_...
This is a little page that gives you a complete compatibility list of any PS1 game you want to install on your PSP. WIthin, you find if each game works, if there is a downloadable manual to use, what version of firmware emulation works best, and if there is a patch to fix the disk swapping used in multiple disk games that do not save before swapping.

This is a big walkthrough, going step by step on how to create a pandora's battery and a magic memory stick, along with how to actually use them. Prepare to do some reading, pay close attention, and do your homework before you attept this, this is not something you want skip steps on.
http://popsdb.twystneko.com/index.php
Here you can find all the image, sound, and video files to customize your PS1's boot screen. While creating the eboot in Popstation, you can apply icons and background images, along with sound to create an attractable game menu within your PSP's XMB.
http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1...
In this link you can download, and hear from the man who created the POPSTATION program, which turns your PS1 isos or other files into eboots that can be read from your PSP. Here is where the images and sound clips that you can see on the link above comes into play. If you want to turn your PS1 game into a format which POPSTATION can read you must use a program like Alcohaul 120% or MagicIso to first turn that game into a .bin/.cue file. If you need a program such as this you can download a trial version of MagicIso HERE .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw_WgYo8Dbc
Here is a video instruction on how to save your UMD's onto your memory stick with a program called UMD dumper. Despite the kids accent, he does a pretty good job of explaining how to do it, and you can watch along to see how its done. This can also be done if you have 3.80 m33 by going into recovery and setting the switch for USB from accessing the memory stick to the UMD.
Let me know if you want stuff added, and I can include links to help others out.

Question. I'm trying to play my NES (nesterj) and SNES (snes9x) emulators on my PSP but they keep acting up on me. I have 3 game folders, Game, Game150 and Game 371. I was told to put emulators in game150 but why would my NES emulator keep "losing" my ROMs? | ChosenWarrior
| | #13 posted February 5, 2008 at 10:52pm (EDT) |
You should have a ROM folder within the emulator folder without the % sign | junkeater77
| #14 posted February 6, 2008 at 10:49am (EDT)
edited February 6, 2008 at 10:49am (EDT) |
Put the NES emulator in GAME150, then within that folder you need to have whatever your emulator name is, lets just call it emulator, so it should look like this: emulator, and then emulator%, if the emulator you have has two folders in it, one with a % sign, just put them both in GAME150, and put the roms in the one withouth the % sign.

This is where I get lost. I put my emulator in the 150 folder but I don't have any % folder. Do you create this folder for a reason? | ChosenWarrior
| | #17 posted February 7, 2008 at 7:51pm (EDT) |
There should be a folder with the same name as the regualr folder with the emu that has a % next to that contains an EBOOT and nothing else | ZForce915
| | #18 posted February 7, 2008 at 11:08pm (EDT) |
NesterJ
NesterJ%
What is the need for the second folder with the %? I run the emulator from the other folder...all the % folder does is show up as a corrupted file. Yet I don't think I should delete it, but I don't understand its purpose. | junkeater77
| | #19 posted February 7, 2008 at 11:53pm (EDT) |
If you want the corrupted icon to go away you can go into the recovery menu and toggle the switch to hide corrupt icons, any rom files you have will go into the NesterJ file, then the emulator should recognize the rom.
When you say you are losing your roms, what do you mean by that? It dosnt recognize them?

I tried to toggle it off but they still remain!
Yes, I got a load config error and then I couldn't find the roms (the program couldn't). They were still there when you looked at the contents of the memory stick but the program wasn't working.
I think everything is working right now and I don't have any % folders up. Do you create that folder yourself?
This is what I have (3.71 M33-4 with the 1.50 kernal)...
NesterJ NES Emulator 1.11 RM V1 folder with the contents:
- ROMS folder
- STATES folder
- SAVES folder
- EBOOT file
- MENU file
- NESTERJ.CFG file
all of this is in GAME150 folder. It is currently working as is with no other folders associated with it. If I create another folder "NesterJ NES Emulator 1.11 RM V1%" should I put just the EBOOT in it? And is that a copy of the EBOOT or do I move it there? Last time I tried this when I loaded things it just went black and turned off the PSP. | ChosenWarrior

Anyone Run a MAME (Arcade) Emulator? Last time i tried putting it on my PSP it was twitchy. I really wanna get some arcade games on my PSP. Thing is, NES,SNES,GEN etc ROMs, you just unzip the folder and theres ususally just one file you transfer to your folder. But when you open a Sega CD or MAME ROM theres like a list of 20 files or so. im confused on what to use and send to my roms folder. Also some game say crap like this:\
Magician Lord 1
Magician Lord 2
Magician Lord 3
I dont understand these ROMs that have Part 1,2,3 etc. I mean i have no clue how to take what i need and send it to where it needs to go and have it run.

Well, I got one game to run on MAME but it was a messed up rom. during the game it would freeze and stuff. Theres only like a few Arcade games i would want too. I heard that you dont unzip the rom folder you just put the whole folder in your rom folder. I dunno, im confused about the whole thing. But wanting to play MAME roms makes me want to figure it out.

Pyramid -
When you see a multiple part file download, its simple, if you have WinRAR, (which is the best), just highlight all the icons once you have downloaded them, and left click, then you simply choose to "EXTRACT HERE" and all the files will be extracted into one complete .iso, or .cso, or whatever it is for you to put onto your memory stick.

I'll donwload nesterj NES emulator and give it a try to see if I can get it working, if so I'll tell you exactly how to do it.

They have a program for PSP that hides corrupted files.
Junkeater: you mean right click them right? so basically you send all unzipped folders to your rom folder?

No, while the files are still zipped, unzip them all into one. The best program to use is WinRAR in case you are using Winzip. Just highlight each zipped folder, and once you right click on one, you have the option to EXTRACT HERE and they all unzip into one complete file.

well, i saw one at psp-hacks and theres only one. and you have to do a little work to get it running, im not exactly sure but its missing a few things and you have to put it in. i have an atari lynx emulator and i had to add something to it for it to work. it was told in the readme files and i just googled it and found the file or extension and added it.

ZForce915:
NesterJ 1.11 RM V1 was made for the 3.XX kernel, so it's not supposed to have a % folder. Just put the emulator's folder in the GAME folder (not GAME 150). I just tried and it works perfectly. Your roms also have to be unzipped for them to load. Also the emulator will be looking for roms in the GAME150 directory, so you have to press triangle to go back and select the GAME folder, the NesterJ folder, and where ever your roms are. | | |
