Files related to EBOOT.PBP

PARAM.SFO attribute (PSP)

By group content format:

• PSP™: X3, X5, X6, X7 (used also for unsupported/corrupted data like unknown folder on PS3, X1 can be also in this folder and it is a bit different issue, in 2 case at least)

• minis: X1 (same on PS3)

• Playstation® (for PS1 classic game): Don't have attributes

• PCENGINE: X0 (same for PS3)

• NEOGEO: X2 (it is X4 on PS3, NEOGEO games don't have export so that can be the reason why attributes are different)

Only X3 seems missing, X5, X6, X7 might not be used yet.

CONFIG

Infos about [Emulation|PS1 Emulation]

Size: 60 bytes, string in ASCII: "PS1EmuConfigFile", "disc_no"

Generated/overwrited at each boot of the game, configure the PS1 emulator for: ?

KEYS.BIN

16 bytes.

If you have this file, you can put it into the folder CONTENT to make your PS1 classic game working after being exported.

For export on PS3 3.55: XMB option

For export on PS3 4.xx+: PKG as bubble first. (note: install on PS3 also, the "fix" pkg can be use the regular install pkg)

For Minis and export, you can use the same tool linked on main page to make it as ISO running on your (CFW) PSP.

DOCUMENT.DAT

Software manual of games (minis, PSP remaster and ps1 classic).

By pressing PS button during the game, ICON of software manual will appear near the game icon to of the PS3 (as option when it s PS1 classic).

Can be replaced by other DOCUMENT.DAT of others same game category (Minis and PSP remaster can be interchanged).

By editing PARAM.SFO: on Disc Game: The icon of software manual can appear on PS3 games but not loading the manual. (edited SFO category as MN instead of DG, the utility icon don t appear with HG)

3 different version supported? ( ps1 classic-MINIS-old format used on homebrew)

Can be loaded from PSP XMB (if it is from MINIS, not from PS1 classic) without having to boot the game or even a working game.

Create your homebrew manual or walktrough by using PSP DocMaker GUI:

Others remarks:

Max 100 pages as display?

Misc: Digital Comic PSP

On PS3, digital comic can also be repacked and run as or .

Customization might be extremely limited by size of image (around 2MB?) per page/sum loaded although there are may be some possible setting (if not due to internal use) on emulation for PS3 and one SFO parameter on PSP. XML structure link seems also limited to only two xmlurl / action per page (left/right as backward/forward) .

It is simple to manipulate and make your own .PNG (no need to be specific) slow slide show pack as PKG for your game column.

Pages can be added by simply expand the structure inside USRDIR/packages/comic name/.
