Hacking Homebrew Trouble playing eboot.pbp files

[quangulus]

Hello! I have a modded psp 1000 running the CFW 6.61 ARK-4 cIDL. For some reason, I can't play eboot.pbp files, probably because I can't find the right folder to put them in. they won't even show up on the psp menu.

all my .isos are listed in ISO>PSP GAMES, but putting eboots in there doesn't work.

most guides say to put eboots in PSP>GAME, but that doesn't work either.

i bought the psp modded, and before i deleted them all it seemed the original owner had put a ton of ps1 games in a folder titled "ps1". this folder is located in PSP>GAME. I'm going to assume these were eboots. i tried putting my eboots in there, but that won't work either.

by the way, i'm not putting the raw eboot files onto my psp - i've got them in titled folders with the other necessary files included, i believe.

is there anything i'm doing wrong? how do i fix this?

additonally, there isn't a video folder inside of the iso folder, so i have no idea how i'm supposed to upload videos to my psp (granted I haven't quite delved into that realm yet)
this is what the files on my psp's memory stick look like (games are stored in ISO>PSP GAMES):

This is what my PSP>GAME folder looks like:

ms0:/ISO/GAMENAME.ISO (.CSO etc)
ms0:/PSP/GAME/GAMENAME/EBOOT.PBP

 

[quangulus]

ms0:/ISO/GAMENAME.ISO (.CSO etc)
ms0:/PSP/GAME/GAMENAME/EBOOT.PBP

yeah, that's how i've been doing it. for example:

in this case, ddlc-love is the folder containing the eboot. this does not work.

PROBLEM FIXED!!
Eboot files will now show up on the menu and play if I put them in a folder in PSP>GAME titled "homebrew". for some reason.

The previous owner probably had GameCategories-Lite plugin installed.

Make sure it's "/PSP/GAME/homebrew/EBOOT.PBP" and not "/PSP/GAME/homebrew/[bunch of EBOOT.PBP files/folders]". You have to put them inside seperate folders.
If you'd like to have them inside the "homebrew" folder (e.g. "/PSP/GAME/homebrew/[bunch of folders with EBOOT.PBP inside]"), use the GameCategories-Lite plugin as I've stated above.
