  • 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.

Offset Lenght Value Notes
0x00 4 00 50 42 50 The PBP signature is similar than eboot.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 310x180 ("information")
0x14 4 xx xx 00 00 repeat Offset of the file ICON1.PNG
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

Then the file PARAM.SFO starts (at 0x28) with following parameters (see above for length or purpose):

  • BOOTABLE: 00 00 00 00

After the 2 or 3 .png, the second part of the file start (length is always 0x20).
