I usually only use the first one 'ICON IMAGE' as this is all you need to easily identify your game from the PSP's XMB. the right hand set of dropdowns allows you to select various images and videos to accompany your game icon.

*NOTE: this would be a good time to select OPTIONS and then FOLDER then under 'auto-create folder on convert' select create game title folder (this makes it easier to locate your PSX games if you convert quite a few, if you don't tick this it will save the eboot.pbp in a folder named after the PSX games serial number. *NOTE: long file names and/or foreign characters may corrupt the data, shorten the Game Title and Main Game title if needed. simply select the folder you would like the completed file to end up in. Once selected all of the left hand side should be auto-filled for you except the output folder.

Select the 'ISO/PBP file ' dropdown and find the ISO, IMG or BIN of the PSX game you wish to convert.

Here is the source code (.NET console app + pbp library): Bin2Pbp Sources.Then choose the interface you wish to use (I always use Classic because I find it's a lot easier and gives the same results) Since I'm working on many projects, I have no time to improve that simple tool. bin into uncompressed CHD and then from CHD into single. Advanced users may use CHD tools to convert from multi. There are many tools on Windows and Linux. You must convert your multi-track dumps to single. Warning: The PBP format is just a crunched encapsulation of existing file: single bin or iso.

Linux users can also run the software the same way after installing the mono-runtime or mono-complete package.

It also use all cpu cores available to achieve multi-threaded compression. The software display many progression reports while crunching/converting. ('CD' can be written 'cd' and 'Disc' or 'Disk' can be in lowercase also 'disc' or 'disk'. Will be converted in a single 'Arc the lad.pbp' file containing the 3 ordered CD files. The software reconize some file decorations to gather multi-disc games: (cd X) or (Disc X) or (Disk X) where X is the CD number from 1 (or event 0) to 9. Run the executable on windows in a shell (cmd.exe or powershell) and gives only 2 parameters: source folder & destination folders. Generated PBP can still be run on a real PSP and you can find other tools to edit icons/images/sound if you wish. Its main purpose is to convert quickly large CD collections and save as many bytes as possible. It's not made to generate beautiful eboots for your PSP. After 2 weeks of documentation hunting and various reverse engeneerings, here is the first version: Bin2Pbp. Unfortunately it is very slow and even worst, it fails when converting unknown games by overwriting previous generated files randomly. Hard to get support, hard to find latest versions and even harder to get the source code!įortunately, it supports batch conversion. The main tool available on Internet is a very old tool, made ten years ago. And also because it supports multiple CD into a single file, which is also supported by many PSX emulators to provide quick & easy disk swaping. Mainly because this file format is crunched and saves lot of space. I recently tried to batch convert PSX dumps into PBP files.
