I tired editing mine, and the game refused to run...
Then I tired using one of those name editing programs, and it refused to run...
So I really have no idea how other people are doing it.

Eh, it's not that important really. I guess I can suck it up having my Dragon Quest VII renamed to Hot Shots 2.

I think the name is built into the base.pbp that you rename Hot Shots to. I could probably edit that BEFORE using Popstation but I don't know what effect that would have. I have all night to experiment so if I figure it out I'll tell you.

Ironcically enough, I just found this site. They have some good icons and backgrounds there.

You can modify either the base.pbp or the eboot.pbp files. Just open it up with PSPBrew and rename it.

Note: DO NOT use programs such as pbpunpacker to modify pbp's generated by popstation. They won't
work after that.

I found a front end to popstation called PSX2PSP, you can get it off of PSP Updates, it'll take the data right out of the ISO to properly name the final .pbp.

This is great news.

I'm very behind on this entire psp hacking scene, so just wondering, do I still need an unpatched copy of GTA:Liberty city stories or whatever it's called to downgrade from a regular 2.60 psp to 1.5?

No. You can simply upgrade to 2.71, and then afterwards downgrade to 1.50 from there.

oh man, I am so close to get a white v2.00 psp. According to my friend, its a 20% chance. He's going to try and get me one, but his parents are strict, so he's trying his best. He rox my sox. (note I am giving him my psp in exchange and he already has two other psps so I'm not completely ripping him off)

Messing around with this more tonight, I thought of something. If someone could hack the Hot Shots Golf 2 document.dat to allow us to make our own manuals, we could have built in walkthroughs to go with the games... Here is to hope.

No, pbpunpacker doesn't work, but PSPBrew does.

This is pretty off topic but an interesting article:

http://www.pspfanboy.com/2007/01/03/debunking-a-psp-myth-it-has-no-good-games/

I'm sure we've all seen internet jerks spout off that the PSP has no good games, so this blogger goes on Metacritic and looks up every American published Nintendo DS and Sony PSP title to see which one has better reviews for their games. I don't need to post the results here, I just wanted to provide the link as a kick in the balls for any idiot fanboys that might show up in the future.

Wow. I am so getting a PSP. My dad and a guy that works for him found a Memory Stick (Like 1GIG) in a car they bought. The car looks like crap, and I had to clean up the stick to use it, but it's a nice looking one. Maybe I can get me a new PSP to have something to do with it.

Thinking about trying this, since I have craploads of PSx games.

If anybody is planning on playing MGS on their PSP in the future, set the controls to Type II. It's the only way to make it playable. That mapping sets R2 & L2 to R1 & L1, and R1 & L1 to the analog nub. It's great.

How would one do this? I've never updated a PSP before, so...

Is it possible to beat MGS? Since there's the Psycho Mantis battle where you have to plug your controller into Slot 2.

Also: Holy shit they've released 3.03 OE-A! This new one lets you generate COMPRESSED psx eboots, so you can put even more games on your memory stick!
