About determining PSP pkg type

Open 1jtp8sobiu opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

There are some psp pkgs that contain "EBOOT.PBP" but are labeled as PSP_DLC. Should they be classified as PSP_GAME?

Examples:

So, the checking process is, check pkg content type -> check PBP param.sfo category-> check if EBOOT.PBP is included...?

Nice observation.

For the overall categorization of the package I prefer to use the PBP category as it already is. If the manufacturer incorrectly categorized the package, then I will prefer to show the data as-is. For the NPS category there could be a "list of incorrectly categorized packages" to fix it for the database.

There are some questions about a EBOOT.PBP in a PSP DLC package:

  • How is that package extracted on a PSP? Folder and file names?
  • Does an EBOOT.PBP of a DLC contain the whole game? (If not, use determination as-is)
  • Can it be installed and run without the main game? (If not, use determination as-is)
