Hacking Missing custom screen size on some eboots?

[matt!]

Some of my PS1 on PSP eboots are missing the custom screen size option.

Can I modify or rebuild the eboot to get this option?

Hello.
Never heard of such a thing.
I've played hundreds of them, and exiting the game, always gave me the menu to change the screen size.

What titles give you this problem? Have you downloaded them already pre-converted? Are they official eboots (PSN)? In some of these ones, perhaps, this function has been disabled.

Otherwise try to convert them yourself into eboots starting from ps1 iso, and always applying a certain degree of compression.

You're slightly misunderstanding. Or maybe I'm not clear enough. Probably both.

I get the menu to change the Screen Mode. It contains:
- Original
- Normal
- Zoom
- Full Screen

But in some games there is an extra item on the bottom:
- Custom

This is what I'd like to have in my eboots.

eboot I create look like this:


Hot Shots Golf 2 looks like this:


Edit:

Ah I figured it out!

These options come from the version of POPS that is being used to run the PS1 game eboot.

So by changing the version of POPS (by holding down R whilst game boots) to "original from flash", or maybe some of the later versions, then this Custom Screen Mode appears.

POPS versions 5.01 and 5.50, to name just two, don't have the Custom Screen Mode.
