Try using FTP. With my FTP setup I can transfer over EBOOT.PBP without renaming. Also there is a version of PSPFiler that is pre-patched and can rename folder and eboots. Check here: viewtopic.php?t=41532&p=379751

The answer to your question is the fact that youre using a file manager inside TN-V. If TN-V recognizes that its a homebrew or non-psn official file then it'll auto-rename it to FBOOT.PBP and you cant change it back to EBOOT.PBP
Just use FTP to transfer the files instead ofCMA and pspfiler etc...
VHBL doesnt auto-rename and neither does Psp filer if you can get a custom bubble for it working

You will never be able to rename a file to eboot.pbp or pboot.pbp in TN-V

For people interested, this is why:

Code: Select all

char * custom_strstr(const char * str1, const char * str2) //sub_00003958
{
	static char buffer1[256]; //0x00010000 - 20040
	static char buffer2[256]; //0x00010000 - 20300
	
	//limit buffers
	buffer1[sizeof(buffer1) - 1] = 0x0;
	buffer2[sizeof(buffer2) - 1] = 0x0;
	
	//copy strings to buffers
	strncpy(buffer1, str1, sizeof(buffer1));
	strncpy(buffer2, str2, sizeof(buffer1));
	
	//turn all characters in the first string to lowercase
	char * aux = buffer1;
	int i = 0;
	while(i < sizeof(buffer1) && aux[i])
	{
		aux[i] = tolower(aux[i]);
		i++;
	};
	
	//turn all characters in the second string to lowercase
	aux = buffer2;
	i = 0;
	while(i < sizeof(buffer2) && aux[i])
	{
		aux[i] = tolower(aux[i]);
		i++;
	};
	
	//try to find fixed str2 inside fixed str1
	char * find_string = strstr(buffer1, buffer2);

	if(!find_string)
		return NULL;
		
	//return pointer to str2 start inside str1
	return str1 + (find_string - buffer1);
};

int fix_filename(char * file) //sub_00003C40
{
	//look for EBOOT.PBP or PBOOT.PBP inside the file path string
	char * aux;
	if((aux = custom_strstr(file, "EBOOT.PBP")) == NULL)
	{
		if((aux = custom_strstr(file, "PBOOT.PBP")) == NULL)
			return 0;
	};
	
	aux[0]++;
	return 1;
};

Hello,

Sure u can change the name in FTP u are on firmware 3.18 so renameing GAME to GAMEE will do just fine,

firmwares above need to change PSP to PSPX or whatever u want as long as you change it back to its original name before exiting FTP to avoid formatting ur mem card.

before transmitting ur EBOOT.PBP rename it to EBOOT2.PBP then transmit.

Then rename it to EBOOT.PBP.. (double dot)
then remove one dot so you become EBOOT.PBP. then right click select refresh and you will see EBOOT.PBP
