Changing text on PS1 save games

[kill.rhythm]

I've made it as far as creating my own icons and pics for my old PSX games I dump myself... however it just bugs me that the text on the save game file says "Hot Shots 2".

I've tried extracting the Hots Shots 2 eboot.pbp (base.pbp), editing the title in the param.sfo, saving that edited param.sfo, compiling all files back into base.pbp. This ends up as corrupted data in my PSP Memory Stick menu.

Now, from what I've read there aren't any overwrite worries... but I'm kind of a neat freak and it bugs the hell out of me that it isn't the correct title.... I know... it doesn't matter... but...

Is this a job for a hex editor?

if you edit a signed official sony eboot it WILL corrupt

Actually not since the data isn't compressed (oddly enough - not about the compression)....

Just replace both these values (2 of them) with the title of your game:
Hot Shots Golf®2

The second one is the savegame title.

remember just don't add or delete values, just overwright them, make a mistake type over it or add 00 to the byte it represents... overwrite with 00 if you want blank area too....

BTW--^ talking about the created game eboot file not popstation.exe, or the base eboot.....

Thank you, Drathian.

It worked perfectly. now I'm gonna go through my collection and start converting...

someone should make a program for this. i no it isn't hard but there are so many lazy people about. like me.

You know, I hex-edited popstation.exe with the correct name and when the emu starts up the PSP Info Screen doesn't show. Still plays the game perfectly and saves with the correct name, just seems like a weird glitch that I'm sure is do to overwriting something I wasn't supposed to in the POPstation.exe.

I have the strangest problem that I have not seen on this forum yet.

I cannot open my created eboots with PSP Brew or with Hexedit. I can open any original eboots, just not my created ones. Matter of fact, if I try to open them with PSP Brew, I have to restart my computer. Because I cannot shutdown PSP Brew at all, even with Task Manager!

I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar problem. I really want to hexedit the eboots to change the titles name.

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter. :)

Yeah, don't know why either. Mine just says it isn't supported though....try the latest version of pspbrew.
