Metal Gear Solid Eboot

[vampirikfox]

I have tried 2 different programs to convert my Metal Gear Solid discs to eboots. I have them ripped to .iso. When I go to load the game from the memory stick it just sits there at a black screen (initial start up of the eboot does show activity on the card, then stops) I have to hit the Home key then quit game to get back to the menus

I have and old eboot of Vagrant Story that I made a while back that still seems to be working just fine

Programs I have used are Ice Tea and PSXPSP

Current custom firmware is 5.50 GEN-A

Also if I update via the network will that update my Custom firmware or revert me to latest OFW? I havent dabbled in this in a while but since I am beginning to travel a lot for work I figured I would get some use out of this thing once again


Thanks for any help and sorry if this is posted in the wrong location

I just updated to CFW 6.60 ME-1.6

Just need to figure out what I am doing wrong with the metal gear solid eboot

[faustnero]

it should be in either ISO or CSO format. else it's not gonna work.

Tried the straight .iso rip...no luck

Tried using the .iso in the game folder as well as the ISO folder

I guess I've been out of the loop too long and im very rusty...

[faustnero]

is your ISO folder located at the root of your ms? are you sure it's an ISO? are you sure there's cfw installed? if there is , is it permapatched? if not, check system settings [process]Settings>System Settings>System Info[/process]

I just updated to CFW 6.60 ME-1.6...

When I connect via USB I have a folder that was created by the PSP as "ISO"

I used magicISO to rip it

Is this a PSP game your talking about or a PS1 game?

[vampirikfox]

its a ps1 game. I have made an ISO of Peace walker while on custom firmware so I could play it without updating to OFW. So I placed the ps1 rips into the ISO folder just like Peace walker and no luck

[vampirikfox]

Ok the issue is either the converter software or the software to rip them to an ISO

Just ripped Medal of Honor for ps1 and it does the same thing. Starts to load lots of activity with the MS light but then stops and black screen

Did you ever figure out the problem to this? I used to be on 5.00 m33-6 cfw and never get D1.eboot to work. I could get D2.eboot to boot to where it said insert D1 however. Eventually gave up, which sucks because that's probably my favorite ps1 game. Now I'm on 6.60 ME and thought about trying again but don't want to waste my time if it isn't going to work.

EDIT:
Just tried again on 6.60 ME and when it boots, the screen goes black and acts like it's loading, and after about a 1/2 minute, completely shuts the psp off. Putting them in psp/game folder.

I guess I just wasn't meant to play this game on my psp.

I did figure it out, the issue is with the software I'm using to rip the discs. Unfortunately I could never get a program to work correctly...so since I physically own the game I had to delve to the dark side to find a copy already ripped. This worked

I DO NOT CONDONE DOWNLOADING ANY SOFTWARE WHICH YOU DO NOT OWN.

Please unless you own the software do not try this. Even then it still technically doesn't make it Okay. However to prove my theory that is what I did. Its a shame really cause I would like to get Medal of Honor from PS1 on my PSP as well...
