Eboot.PBP[edit | edit source]
Used on PSP (PSP remaster and PSN content:PS1 classic and Minis), to be loaded with build in PSP emulator on PS3. See Emulation.
With PSP remaster game, you can select either to start the game directly or the NPJA0040/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN (Ad-Hoc Party folder). An ICON of the game is also loaded on the top left corner on the menu.
Used also for PSP FW from PS3 internet browser (http://www.jp.playstation.com/psp/update/ud_03.html) correct link if available in English) to transfer on PSP or external storage device.
RCO PNG used on PS3 for EBOOT.PBP
Header and filetable[edit | edit source]
Offset | Purpose |
---|---|
0x00 | The PBP signature, always is 00 50 42 50 or the string "<null char>PBP" |
0x04 | Unknown purpose, possibly the version number. Currently is always 0x00000100 or 0x01000100 (some MINIS, PSP remaster and PSP PlayView). |
0x08 | Offset of the file PARAM.SFO (?this value should always be 0x28?) |
0x0C | Offset of the file ICON0.PNG |
0x10 | Offset of the file ICON1.PMF or ICON1.PNG |
0x14 | Offset of the file PIC0.PNG or UNKNOWN.PNG (Value can be repeated) |
0x18 | Offset of the file PIC1.PNG or PICT1.PNG |
0x1C | Offset of the file SND0.AT3 |
0x20 | Offset of the file DATA.PSP |
0x24 | Offset of the file DATA.PSAR |
Usually every .PBP embeds a PARAM.SFO file and PARAM.SFO file starts at offset 0x28.
PARAM.SFO[edit | edit source]
Basically the information file for the .PBP - has title, parental control level etc.
Fews parameters inside different type of .pbp (psp remaster, psp game, minis, ps1 classic..)
For the external PS3 SFO, see PARAM.SFO. Some parameters such SAVEDATA_DETAIL related but used separately from the eboot.pbp as well.
For PS1 classic, offset .SFO should not be variable on EBOOT.PBP.
(e.g.: Title of the game should start at offset 0x358 with category: ME, not as EG)

More information, except more targeted at the executable portion (contains info such as ELF size):
Boot and Warning image:[edit | edit source]
"minis"boot logo (visual content is similar than the file located on dev_flash/pspemu/flash0/logo/minis_logo/)

Not all Minis games have the second

Other[edit | edit source]
- When the eboot is signed as free demo (PSP 6.60 OFW might block it, 6.39 FW no).
DATA.PSAR[edit | edit source]
The bulk of the EBOOT.PBP, and the portion which contains the executable code.
Offset | Length | Name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
0x00 | 16 bytes (0x10) | magic |
: NPUMDIMG (4E 50 55 4D 44 49 4D 47 03 00 00 01 10 00 00 00) (used also on PSP game) : PSISOIMG0000 (50 53 49 53 4F 49 4D 47 30 30 30 30 xx xx xx xx) See PSISOIMG0000. |
- Note: this "identifier" seems to be separated in: 8 + 4 + 4 bytes:
For PS1 Classic the last 4 bytes give the size of the first part of the PSAR, which also means it's the offset (DATA.PSAR file) for part 2 (string as: STARTDAT)
- PSTITLEIMG000000: Not present on all PS1 Classic and followed also by 4 bytes giving length of first part. After one .pgd part and padding, "PSISOIMG0000" + 4bytes as 00.
- PGD
See PGD wiki page on PSP Dev wiki.
- STARTDAT: header contain the header size (50) and .png size (e,g,:"A5 2F" when similar MINIS Warning logo or 06 26 for PSP remaster).
Last part is another .PGD section.
PARAM.PBP[edit | edit source]
PSP XMB referenced it as "game data". Used by: PlayView、 DLC/add on.

0x00 | 4 | 00 50 42 50 | Magic (".PBP") |
0x04 | 4 | 01 00 01 00 | Unknown purpose, possibly the version number. Currently is always similar (also on 1.00 or 1.02 disc_version) |
0x08 | 4 | 28 00 00 00 | Offset of the file PARAM.SFO (this value should always be 0x28) |
0x0C | 4 | DC 01 00 00 | Offset of the file ICON0.PNG 144x80 (similar since same parameters are used) |
0x10 | 4 | xx xx 00 00 | Offset of the file ICON1.PNG or ICON1.PMF 310x180 ("information") |
0x14 | 4 | xx xx 00 00 | repeat Offset of the file ICON1.PNG or ICON1.PMF |
0x18 | 4 | xx xx 00 00 | Offset of the file PIC1.PNG 480x272 ("Background") not all Playview have it (and so, offset second part) |
0x1C | 4 | xx xx xx 00 | Offset second part of the file |
0x20 | 4 | xx xx xx 00 | repeat second part of the file |
0x24 | 4 | xx xx xx 00 | repeat second part of the file |
PARAM.SFO starts at offset 0x28 with following parameters (see above for length or purpose):
