Hi, as the title says, I am looking for a way to convert my UMD iso to an eboot. I cant seem to find a solid answer on how to do this though. Can somebody please tell me what tools I need to do this? I don't want to hafta compile anything because compiling is intimidating to me and I have failed more times than not (I found the sign_np tool on github). Thanks in advance for any advice.

Soooooo yeah, what OS are you using? There's a tool for doing this on Windows called ISO2EBOOT that I believe includes the signing tools in it as well. To be honest I never really ended up making much of these- just once or twice around when 6.35 was still relevant. I guess this is a good excuse to go compile one again though. I'll follow up if I'm successful with it

Sorry, I'm usually waaaay more informative than this. My head's just a bit fuzzy from searching for so long. I'm on Windows 10, that tool sounds cool. The last time I had a PSP was in the beginning of the m33 days, when Dark Alex was the god of the PSP CFW scene. Currently I have a Vita and running adrenaline. I remember a good amount but I've forgotten much more. Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: So I found the author's site yesterday and unfortunately, it can't handle my iso. I had tested it with GTA LCS as well and it made an eboot that PPSSPP could use and started extremely fast but showed up as corrupted data on the PSP. I think it's because the ISOs are too big. BTW, it took the 1.2gb LCS iso and shrunk it down to ~500mb-/+. Pretty cool but if it's showing up as corrupted then I'm gonna have to figure out something else. Thank you so much for the suggestion! Oh and Happy New Year 🎊

I'm late to reply back but- try renaming the folder that you have the LCS EBOOT in while on the actual PSP. PSP Eboot folders have a namespace limit and will show up as corrupted if they're too many characters long.

For instance: /PSP/Game/"GTALCS"/EBOOT.PBP

Edit: And Happy New Year to you as well :)

Thanks again for getting back to me. I was never aware of the namespace limitations and I'll try renaming the folders. I have a feeling that's the problem here cause I named the folders with the actual names and the title id in brackets. That has to be the cause
