|
 |
DA has released a plugin that allows you to run earlier versions of POPS on your PSP under his latest custom firmwares 3.03OE. This is really useful as Sony's later POPS versions cause some PSX games to run with glitches - aka FF7 for one.
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=44323
I have run FF7 with the 3.02 POPS on 3.03OE-B with no glitches - the inventory at the bottom of the screen now runs in battles with no 'flickering' 
Its another brilliant solution - you can just turn this plugin on/off from the recovery menu, getting either 3.02 POPS or the newer 3.03 POPS for those PSX titles
From DA's readme:-
| Quote: | This plugin is to load 3.02 psx emulator in 3.03 OE.
Although a lot of games work better in 3.03 emulator than in 3.02, in some cases
it is the contrary, so you may want to load 3.02 psx emulator in certain cases.
Instructions:
- Copy seplugins to the root of your memory stick.
- Using some of the latest psardumpers, extract the 3.02 firmware with the option of the button X.
- Once done, copy the following files from /F0/kd to /seplugins/pops302: meaudio.prx, mesg_led.prx,
pops.prx and popsman.prx.
- Enter in recovery menu, and enable pops302ld.prx plugin if you want to load 3.02 emulator.
- Run the game. It will run with 3.02 psx emulator.
- Whenever you want to use again the 3.03 emulator, just disable the plugin from recovery menu.
Known problems:
* During tests i tried castlevania sotn compressed. During the game i noticed anormal high activity
in the memory stick (note: the fact that the prx's are in memory stick is not related to this issue,
since they are quickly loaded to ram).
It didn't happen with the game not compressed (and it doesn't happen in 3.03 compressed).
I don't know if this issue affects other games.
In such a case, it may be a problem of the mixing of modules, or maybe just a 3.02 problem.
If you experience that problem, you may want to use uncompressed games if it slowdowns the game.

Cheers for the info. Since I modded the firmware on my 360 I've fallen behind with the PSP stuff, (Still running emulated 2.71 I think).

You really need nights of the round (mastered) and 3 mime materia (mastered) to beat him.. otherwise its too hard to even consider..

Years ago and my memory stinks. But how do you kill the large underwater mech?, (can't remember the name), just remember that Knights of the Round didn't mean shit against it!
Far harder than Sephiroth.

| Quote: | Diamond Weapon
This is by far the easiest weapon to beat. He is the one that comes
out of the water and starts advancing toward Midgar. Basically, all you
have to do is to pummel him until he's dead by attacking with summons and
maybe magic, I forget. Remember that he is invulnerable to physical attacks
until after he does Diamond Flash. Anyway, cure yourself when you're low on
HP and that's how to beat Weapon. You can also steal a Rising Sun from him.
Ultima Weapon
This is by far the most annoying weapon. The first time you fight
him, all you have to do is survive his attacks and attack back for a couple
of rounds. The next time you fight him, I forget but here's how to beat
him. When you can, take the Highwind over Lake Junon (waterfall, deep pool,
near Junon). If you see a large black monster over it, that's Ultima
Weapon. If not, try again later. When you fight him the first time, any
attacks that are long range will hit him. When he's taken enough damage, he
will fly away. Now, you have to chase him in the Highwind until he stops
moving. Then you'll have to fight him again. When he makes his final stop
at Cosmo Canyon, beat him and he will explode in the canyon creating
passage for the ancient forest. You can get the Ultima Weapon after you
beat him.
Emerald Weapon
There are 2 ways to prepare to battle Emerald Weapon. The fast and
easy way is to equip underwater materia, knights of the round, final
attack, phoenix and 2 mimes. Equip underwater to whoever, Knights of the
round to anyone, the 2 mimes to your two other character and the final
attack and phoenix to whoever as long as they are linked. The long, hard
but most beneficial way is to attach Master Command, 2 Quadra Magics,
Master magic, Double cut, Master summon, W-Magic, W-Summon, W-Item, Final
Attack, Phoenix and Underwater. With the long way, fire 4x Demi twice, and
mime. When needed, restore health. Then repeat. With the short way, Knights
of the round and mime. When need, restore health. When you defeat him, you
will get Earth Harp. A challenge, Try to morph him. Emerald can be found
underwater next to Junon. He is the big swimming thing. Use the sub to bump
into him.
Ruby Weapon
The way I used to beat Ruby is very unorthodox. First I equipped
W-Summon, MP Turbo linked to Master Summon, Master Command, Elemental on
the armor, Fire linked to it and Ribbon to any character with their
ultimate weapon. Then I went and fought at another battle near Ruby. I am
not insane, but I killed the other characters who I did not equip the
materia on. I went on to fight Ruby. First when he extended the tentacles,
I cast Hades on the tentacles and Hades on Ruby. When they were stopped, I
used Knights of the Round on Ruby twice until he began moving. Then I used
Hades again to freeze both of them. I did this until he retracted his arms.
Then I kept doing Knights of the Round until I beat him. He gives you
Desert Rose. A challenge, try to morph him. Ruby can be found in the desert
surrounding the Golden Saucer. You can get to him by Highwind or Gold
Chocobo. He is the little red person in the desert. |
Nights of the round ftw..
