Used on PSP (and PSN content:PS1 classic & MINIS), to be loaded with built in pspemulator (and ps1emu ?) on PS3
[[File:Pspremaster.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Selection window]]
== Header and filetable==
 
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.

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