Eboot.PBP
Eboot.PBP
Used on PSP (PSP remaster and PSN content:PS1 classic & Minis), to be loaded with build in pspemulator on PS3. See: Emulation page
When an PSP remaster game is started, you can select either the game or launching the NPJA0040/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN (original :Ad-Hoc Party folder). An ICON of the game is also loaded on the top left corner during 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.

Offset | Purpose | Notes |
---|---|---|
0x00 | The PBP signature, always is 0x50425000 or the string "<null char>PBP" | |
0x04 | Unknown purpose, possibly the version number. Currently is always 0x00000100 or 0x01000100 | e.g.:0x01000100 on some MINIS (PSP fw 6.00, with new SFO parameter and .pgd encryption?) and 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 | Offset value can be same than other files |
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 |
Then the file PARAM.SFO starts (at 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 the param.sfo page)
For PS1 classic, offset should not be variable on eboot.pbp. (e.g.: Title of the game should start at offset 0x358)

- 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)
