It works here both on linux and windows.

The error you see is from PKG.EXE which comes from PSL1GHT, the development kit for PSX. It could either be a bug in PKG.EXE or maybe it just runs out of memory. How much memory do you have in the PC and which version of windows is it?

What pop-fe tries to do here is just run PKG.EXE to create a package. The commandline is something like this :

pkg.exe -c UP9000-SLES01734_00-0000000000000001' pop-fe-ps3-work\SLES01734 game.pkg

Try to run this manually from the directory where POP-FE is installed after it has crashed like this. If that fails too, open a bug with PSL1GHT (which also has a git-hub page).

A workaround would be to manually install the game on the PS3, skipping the PKG step. After it has crashed like this, the game directory will be in pop-fe-ps3-work\SLES01734 Copy the SLES01734 directory to /dev/hdd0/game on your PS3 and that should work too.

For MetalGearSolid, this is a nice picture to use for PIC0 : https://images.launchbox-app.com/c030fe16-176d-4425-8c85-e9f14baeb7c6.png And this is a nice picture for PIC1: https://images.launchbox-app.com/303f39ec-057c-491c-bc42-25e164f99e31.jpg
