I have been getting questions about how to convert ISO's to EBOOTs and EBOOT's to ISOs. (Compress ISO's to CSOs with UMDGEN, for a uber compression.) So I will upload the tools I use. I did not make these, but I was so tired the night I got them I forgot who made them. If anybody knows who made them I will put up some credits.

ISO2EBOOT & EBOOT2ISO Download

So far I got Cave Story and Powder115 converted from EBOOT to ISO.

Also you can comment people, I don't need REP, and I am not going to take your PSP's away.

any reason why converting homebrew from an eboot to iso is useful?

Oh ya you got it. EBOOT's converted to a .cso plus the new inferno driver make the games small (cso) and fast (Inferno).

if you converted the cave story into a iso/cso, how does it save??

It doesn't. I mostly convert games that I don't want to save on cause I play it for fun.

JellyCar, Powder, Cave Story, Lord Runner, ect.

Not many EBOOTs are worth the effort to compress them - at all. PSX games already have compression built-in.

Emulators... nah. ROMs usually take up the bulk of space and some emulators can read them in ZIP format.

The few homebrew games [that are good] probably take up under 50 MB or so. So unless you have a 512 MB memory stick, I fail to see a good reason for compression.

thanks but this is needed for ????

Making EBOOTs smaller in size. Also if your ISO doesn't run on the newer firmwares you can turn it into a signed EBOOT and run it. See?

I guess this is just what I needed. At least trying to convert newer demos to ISO then patching it up for GEN-D3/Prome users like me, then it's a need. ;)
