I have a geeky story to tell.
In this post I pasted a list of downloadable PSX games for PSP. Today I downloaded Chrono Trigger (for PSX) and Vagrant Story. They both didn't work at first on CFW 4.10 m33-2. I turned to google and found this forum thread on Max Console. It's a tutorial for using Dark Alex' Popsloader plugin.
Popsloader allows the user to choose which version of official Sony PSX emulation for PSP will be used to play the game. For example, Chrono Trigger would work with 3.40 but not my current 3.90. Vagrant Story will work with 3.03 only.
The problem is, the Max Console tutorial is a pain in the ass for newbies. From downloading old versions of official firmware updates from Sony to the tedious extraction process.
So, I googled some more and found this thread, which points to an instant solution to get the pre-extracted files needed to stick into the seplugin/popsloader file folder. Through that helpful suggestion, I was able to find this file pack on MU, which contained the files Popsloader would need for older versions. This can be done while holding R on the PSP as the game is run from the XMB, by the way.
Right now I'm trying to finish R-type Delta with no continues, and then (after I fail miserably at R-type) I'll get to playing Vagrant Story, which I've actually never played before. Anyway, if you guys need any help with running PSX games or homebrew, just ask.
