Download IceTea 1.0

January 2007 was the warmest month ever measured, so time for a cooling glass of ice tea. IceTea is an open source project that allows old PSX games to be converted to the PSX Eboot format for use on a PlayStation Portable. The PSP must also run a custom firmware of Dark_Alex, which is version 3.03 Open Edition revision C or higher. In addition to the PSX Eboot files, so-called in-game manuals can also be made from PNG images and text files. Since this is the first release, there is no changelog, but we do have a piece for you from the included manual:

What is Ice Tea?

IceTea was built in mind to incorporate all the good features regarding the PSX<->PSP converters into one single package. By using wxWidgets as the graphical output it also enables Linux/Mac OS X users to experience IceTea. IceTea is open source released under the GPL. (Feel free to recompile it for any platform wxWidgets support 🙂 )

IceTea allows you to convert your old PSX CDs for use in the Sony PSP system with the OE firmwares present. It is also capable of creating the corresponding ingame manuals as well as customizing the menu appearance. You may also re-extract the ISO from your converted games.

What PSP firmware version do I need?

You’ll need the OE firmwares from Dark_Alex. At least 3.03 OE-C! IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE OFFICIAL 3.03 FW PROVIDED BY SONY! Attempting to run the generated Eboots prior to 3.03 OE-C will fail! You can get 3.03 OE-C here:
