Editing Eboot's to include icon data without recompiling them?

**punkonjunk** · June 28th, 2007, 21:52

I need to make my PS1 games have new images without recompiling them, because I'm lazy. I'm using the latest version of popstation, and firmware 3.40-OE A.

This would be great as a 2 gig card with 4 PS1 games on it becomes a hastle to guess and check all the time.

Thanks in advance.

Use PSPBrew.

It'll take a while to load a 300-700MB eboot, but it'll work.

You can change the icon and background image easily with popstation. Just select the eboot in popstation and add your images where you want them. You can even preview it to see how they will look.

Oh, popstation lets you do it with already compiled stuff? I'll try it in a bit, thanks!

EDIT
When I do it with popstation, it crashes like balls. It might be because I re-outed it with music, could that be it? I'll try in a bit, but I was kinda excited to put in music and a video, but that might be what corrupts it. I'll let ya know.

EDIT
Yeah, after multiple attempts, opening the EBOOT.PBP in popstation and adding stuff, even just changing the pictures seems to corrupt the game.

He;lp?

maybe the size of your .at3 file makes it crash as it has to be under 500 kilobytes and im afraid with popstation you have to recompile the whole thing for the game not to corrupt when trying to swop pictures so try to use parkermauney's fix

I always use popstation to do it, but I've used pspbrew one time and it worked.

PSPbrew I think is trying to load the entire ISO into memory, which is making my PC crash.
I tried doing it with popstation and not using music, just disabling all the rest besides the icon and the backround and the overlay, and it still crashes. What am I doing wrong?
