Dark_Alex.
It's based on Pops Converter by aeolusc & moon
(thanks for your screenshot),
in KDVDAuthorWizard (installer and program
structure), in my PSX2PSP script and now

and you can modify if you don't like.
You can enter TitleGame for Game and Saves.

gamecode data automatically with personal fonts,
colors and images. Included
preview for all pictures.

the images for the manual, the images can
be in any ImageMagick's format and in any
resolution or size, the program adjust them.

You can configure the compression of PBP from
program and, for finish, program save the game in
one folder with the gamecode name.
