PS2RC Converter 0.1.0 - first public release.

PS2RC turns a PlayStation 2 disc that you own into a game folder for the Sony PSP, entirely on your own PC.
PS2RC is developed as a converter for the PS2 version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PAL disc SLES-52541, version 2.01).
This project is not affiliated with, authorized or endorsed by Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or Sony Interactive Entertainment.

No game data is included. Nothing made from a game is in this release: you need your own disc image, and
everything the converter makes from it stays on your PC. Never share the folder it makes.

What you need

  • A disc image (ISO) made from your own copy of the disc named above (PAL, version 2.01). Other versions or
    regions are refused with a message.
  • A 64-bit Windows 10 (1809 or newer) or Windows 11 PC. Nothing else to install: the download brings its own
    Python, Qt, PSP toolchain, ffmpeg and atracdenc. Windows N / KN: install Microsoft's free Media Feature Pack for
    the menu music option.
  • A PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 with custom firmware (ARK), about 4 GB free on the memory stick. Other models: unknown.

How to use

  1. Download PS2RC_Converter_0.1.0_win64.zip, check its SHA-256 (the .sha256 file), unpack it into a folder whose
    path has only plain letters, digits and spaces.
  2. Start PS2RC Converter.exe, pick your disc image and the memory stick (or an output folder), optionally your
    own menu icon, pictures and music, then press Convert (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. If you converted into a folder, copy the converted folder (its name is shown at the end) to PSP/GAME/ on the memory stick and start it from the PSP
    menu. The settings file poc6.cfg next to the game explains every option.

Command line: ps2rc-convert.cmd <your disc image> --out <folder> (--help lists the options).
