EBOOT.PBP Structure

The PBP (PlayStation Portable Binary) container is similar to a ZIP archive with fixed entry slots: | Index | Content | |-------|---------| | 0 | PARAM.SFO (game metadata – title, region, ID) | | 1 | ICON0.PNG (Menu icon) | | 2 | PIC1.PNG (Background) | | 3 | SND0.AT3 (Sound) | | 4 | DATA.PSP (Unused in PSX emulation) | | 5 | DATA.PSAR (Compressed PS1 disc image – ISO + CDDA audio) | PSX2PSP 1

  • CDDA Compression: Enable (Reduces audio tracks size by 50% – safe for FF7).
  • Filtering: Disable "Remove Dummy Sectors" (Breaks some copy protections).

Users can personalize their gaming experience by adding custom background images ( ), information overlay images ( ), game icons ( ), and even background music ( ) that plays in the PSP's XMB menu. Batch Conversion: Compression Level: Standard (9 / Best) – High
