I have come across various questions and interest in the software I am about to release. It is now titled...

ISO.PBP
The ONLY software to make customized EBOOT's that autoload a specified ISO on the PSP!

Release date is within days, and it will probably be the only release unless bugs are found (but it isnt very complicated software, just a buch of advanced batch files and scripts and such).

So what is the ISO.PBP software? (the name was only quickly thought up, but will probably never change). The software is not very complicated, but is very useful. It is for all users that use GUIDevHook v3.3 to load their ISO games. If you don't use GUIDevHook v3.3, GET IT! Because it's good. I made this software mainly for myself because i was sick of hex-editing and resource hacking the GUIDevHook EBOOT's manually for every game i have, but now i'm about to release it publically (and it's moderately easy to use).

Anyway what it does is build YOU an EBOOT of a customized GUIDevHook that is specific to a certain ISO. It takes three images - two of them being graphics for the EBOOT's (ICON0 and PIC1), the other being an 'autoload image' for GUIDevHook which is the "Loading your game..." graphic. (check the example image at the bottom).

More technically, it will use a different INI file as compared to 'devhook.ini' so all the settings for that particular eboot, titled "Street Fighter Alpha 3" for example, will stay with that EBOOT and ONLY that EBOOT. This mean that when you start the eboot named "Street Fighter Alpha 3", it will read the ini file named 'dh_sfa3.ini' in the ms0:/dh/ folder and autoload the SFA3.ISO image (as specified in 'dh_sfa3.ini' file) the while showing the graphic you can see at the bottom of this post.

In a sentence, this software allows you build a GUIDevHook EBOOT for your PSP that are for the one game, with it's own graphics, name, DevHook settings and of course, the ISO to autorun.

I hope that clears up any confusion about the software. Stay tuned for updates.

This thread, or post rather, will be fully edited when the software is released in a few days. As with all my threads, PLEASE post your comments and whether you would like to see this software, as i will cancel the release if there is no demand, and just keep it for myself coz i love it :P


Note - this software does not use a GUI - it is text/console based input and output (as i do not know Visual Basic or Java or anything). Before you run the program, you need to copy the three images you have created for your EBOOT (as described earlier), and then run it. The program will ask you everything else, and then the ready-to-go EBOOT's (with full paths and such) will be made in a new folder in the ISO.PBP folder. Well, i didn't need to tell you that now really, it's all in the documentation (which i highly recommend you read when it's released).


Ok, so as i said i will post a loading image. I will actually show a few that i use for all the games i have built. This is the screen that will show after you run the EBOOT, and before the emulated DevHook firmware boots up.

Post away guys, comments, questions or suggestions are all, of course, very welcome. Peace!



SAMPLE AUTORUN IMAGES -
I do have more, but you get the point. JPG's are saved as progressive compression, so as it loads it will de-pixelate.
