popstationr

popstationr is ISO to EBOOT.bin converter to convert PSX ISO images to use with modded PSPs or adrenaline for PS Vita

About

This version is a cleaned version from copstation without wall of text, a good readme (this one) and a work in progress help and usage parameter in the compiled popstationr

Credits

• [Dark_Alex] - for the Basic Idea and Conversion Method
• [Tinnus] - for the CDDA Fix - AKA TOC Converter
• [Coldbird] - for the updated copstation version vanburace@gmail.com

Features

• standard stuff like the one from dark_alex
• CDDA Fix from Tinnus
• Bootscreen Exchange (the warning screen). Place a greyscale LOGO.PNG in the same folder as the ISO (do not use a coloured PNG)
• No more BASE.PBP madness (everything needed is on the source-side
• improved image handling (no need to place a ICON0.png into the ISO folder. Without it it will create normal icon-less PSX EBOOT
• ISO exctraction support
• process display
• auto GameID scanning. Use AUTO instead of the game code
• Use features from newest DA popstation. There is a DATA.PSP included. If you want to use your own place the DATA.PSP into your ISO folder.
• CDDA fix is now multiplattform
• added iniparser-single
• exported binary data / toc procedures to their own C files
• fixed ISO size calculation (thx flatwhatson!)
• Cleaned Up Progress Display

Compiling

Dependencies

The only dependency for popstationr is zlib. Of course you need gcc and make

Building

Change into the directory and run make

make

FIXME add make install target

Usage

popstation $human_readable_name $GameID $compressionlevel $image.iso

Example

popstation 'Tony Hawks Skateboarding' SLUS00860 9 THPS1_SLUS_008.60.iso

Instead of the GameID you also can use AUTO to let popstationr detect the GameID.

Nice to know

If you want to convert *.bin/*.cue files to ISO use iat When you wan't to include Icons, Backgrounds, Sounds, etc... Make sure that they are all in CAPS!

Use a greyscaled logo as LOGO.PNG (480x272, Greyscale, PNG) in the same folder as the ISO. If not used my custom bootup Screen is patched in

A game icon as ICON0.PNG and pictures as PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG

If you want to include Subchannel and Audio-Data into your EBOOT.bin (Important for Games like FF9, that otherwise will freeze somewhere in-game) dump your Gamedisc using CloneCD (CloneCD works fine both in Windows and under VMWare... therefore also on Unix Systems) and instead of the .iso / .bin File, you drag all three Files into the Folder where popstation resides...

Then just point popstation at the .img file (one of the three generated files... .ccd, .img, .sub). It will automatically include Subchannel Data aswell as Audio-Tracks.

For the ISO-Extraction Support... Simply call uppon the Tool with the following Parameter:

popstation -iso outputfilename.iso

It will look for a EBOOT.PBP in the same Folder popstation resides in and output the ISO contained in it to outputfilename.iso. Both Compressed and Uncompressed EBOOTs are supported.

To force popstationr to scan for the GameID - rather than using a ID you provide, just call popstation with the Parameter AUTO as your gamecode.
