Usually every .PBP embeds a PARAM.SFO file and PARAM.SFO file starts at offset 0x28.

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 [[PARAM.SFO#SAVEDATA_DETAIL | 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)

ICON0 eboot.pbp FW 6.60

Eboot.PBP[edit | edit source]

Selection window

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.

PS1 icon:

  • 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.

Offset Length Value Notes
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")

0x1C 4 xx xx xx 00 Offset second part of the file
0x20 4 xx xx xx 00 repeat second part of the file
