Create Batch Files for PS3 Games

A Windows desktop utility for creating batch files to launch PS3 games using the RPCS3 emulator.

Overview

Create Batch Files for PS3 Games is a Windows application that provides a simple user interface to generate batch files for your PS3 game collection. These batch files allow you to quickly launch your games directly via RPCS3, integrate them into emulator frontends, or add them to platforms like Steam. The application automatically detects game folders and extracts game titles from PARAM.SFO files for accurate naming.

Features

• User-Friendly Interface: Clear guidance through each step of the process.
• Automatic Game Detection: Identifies PS3 game folders based on the presence of PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN and PARAM.SFO files.
• Accurate Batch File Naming: Reads PARAM.SFO to extract the official game TITLE or TITLE_ID for naming batch files.
• Seamless Game Launching: Generated batch files can be used to launch games directly, integrated into any emulator frontend, or added as non-Steam games.
• Detailed Logging: Provides real-time log messages to inform you of the progress and any issues during the batch file creation process.

• Windows 7 or later
• .NET 9.0 Runtime
• RPCS3 emulator (rpcs3.exe)
