Title: [SOLVED] fft - the lion war 2.0 (file corrupted on psp)
Post by: Kikk0 on December 13, 2021, 07:46:55 pm
Hellow & hi.

Long time lurker here, and had some good times modding the psp version of the game back in the day, courtesy of ffhacktics.

Now, thanks to youtube recommendations, I learned that FFT- The Lion War 2.0 is a thing and I have jumped right back into the game.


now here is my problem: I play on a modded psp go, using TN homebrew enabler. So I went and got the psx version of the game, used PPF-O-Matic to patch the game, and then used psx2psp to create an eboot of the patched game to play on the psp. But it shows up as file corrupted so I am unable to play.

Am I missing something or is there a way to make the patched game play on the psp go?


Sorry and thanks~!

It uses a custom SCUS ID, so it won't work that way. Not sure what the go-to solution has been for folks.

Wanted to give an update that may be helpful to anyone whom may be in the minority, like myself, trying to play The Lion War 2.0 patch on the psp.

1. got a psx .bin file of Final Fantasy Tactics. (Easy peezy)

2. got the Lion War and the movie patch from hacktics. (got me hyped due to the buzz of a possible fft remaster)

3. used pdx-pom3 to patch the psx .bin file. (yall made this easy to understand)

4. used "popstation gui" to make it into a an eboot for the psp to read. (for whatever reason this worked where "psx2psp" failed on me. I was able to set the game id and successfully export the eboot file. ONLY thing extra was setting the compression to 1 as apposed to 0 in order to get it to load properly on the psp)


So far so good. May be loosing some sleep playing and praying no issues arise.

just wanted to share what I found to anyone who may need the info. . .

After reading some topics in this forum about running on PSVITA's Adrenaline and trying to run the mod, your approach was solid! Thank you.

For the same "whathever" reason, PSX2PSP failed too, and with Simple Popstation GUI v3.0 beta, the game booted.

To make the step by step more clearer, in step 4, I set the game id to "999999" since the software does not allow you to change the first part of the ID.

In the PS VITA folder pspemu/PSP/GAME, created the "SCUS99999" folder and loaded the EBOOT.PBP.

Haven't played it yet, but after hours of trying to boot the game I was so satisfied that I wanted to comment here.

I hope others can find this thread as well.
