Hello, I found this to try instead of psx2psp. I am trying to convert the newly released title 'Magic Castle' to PBP format. Following your readme I have input the correct command but I do not get any output file.

PS D:\Backup\SONY\PSP\PSX2PSPv1.4.2> .\psxpackager -i T:\Downloads2T\Magic_Castle_2020_23_dec.zip [-o D:\Backup\SONY\PSP\PSX2PSPv1.4.2\Newfolder] [-l 0] [-y] PSXPackager v1.4 by RupertAvery

Maybe don't put square brackets around the options. The square brackets [ ... ] in the argument declarations are to signify that they are optional, at least, that's what they did in DOS days. The same way angle brackets < ... > means they are user supplied information.

Thank you for your reply. Removing the brackets give a new error:

PS D:\Backup\SONY\PSP\PSX2PSPv1.4.2> .\psxpackager -i T:\Downloads2T\Magic_Castle_2020_23_dec.zip -o D:\Backup\SONY\PSP\PSX2PSPv1.4.2\Newfolder -l 0 -y PSXPackager 1.4.0 Copyright (C) 2021 RupertAvery ERROR(S): Option 'y' is unknown.

After removing the -y argument I still end up with the initial problem.

It was caused by an empty GameID. I thought I had fixed it but of course I hadn't tested it. MagicCastle doesn't have a GameID since it is an unofficial release. I use GameIDs to set some fields in the PBP, and I was generating a dummy GameID, but I didn't realize I was using the still-empty ScannerID field.

It's fixed now, Magic Castle is converted to a PBP
