im working on a Homebrew ISO database as for now the team members i need are people to convert the homebrew to isos i will paste the tutorial ( no credit to me all credit goes too J.Boy249 from console spot ) below
>>>You'll need the pbp2iso application and UMDGen<<<
•First make sure you have the PBPs for the program you wish to convert.
•Now open pbp2iso.exe and follow the instructions in that program.
•Navigate to the folder where pbp2iso.exe is.
•If there are any extra files in your PBPs folder, copy them to <pbp2iso folder>\geniso\PSP_GAME\SYSDIR
•Open UMDGen, open the geniso folder in the pbp2iso folder, drag in the PSP_GAME folder and UMD_DATA.BIN file, and save the iso.
• Now delete the geniso folder to clear it for future conversions.
Notes:
•Any app that uses a config file will be broken unless reprogrammed to use the memory stick specifically (aka not a relative path)
•If converting emulators, you will need to add your ROMs to the iso image as well as the emulator, since most emulators do not have drive swapping functions, and they will start in disc0 drive.
•Credit to pspmad for the method and PARAM.SFO/UMD_DATA.BIN files used.
•Any apps that try to access set paths (aka paths in their PSP/GAME/name folder) will be broken, unless it is not part of the game folder and you set it up normally on the memory stick (set paths on memory stick, game in iso)
•To end pbp2iso.exe before iso creation is done, cancel a file select dialog.
While iso is a single file, transfering it to memory stick will also be much faster, then coping hundreds of small files; you may also compress it into CSO using UMDGen to same some extra megs on MS But there is a limit: CSO/ISO is read only by 3.60 m33 built-in fw loader, so you can't change (save changes in the config file - some changes in some progs may be done in RAM) any settings in your homebrew, if it uses the config file inside the Game folder (PSP/GAME/Homebrew_Folder), but not in the special folder (in the root of the MS for example).
E.g. Serious Dungeons v0.5 - the 1.00 fw homebrew - doesn't run from 3.60 m33 XMB (but runs under eLoader 1.000!), but it will run from XMB if you compile it into CSO (the only limit for CSO - you won't be able to change the config)...

1) you will need PBP_Unpack.exe, PsPBrew.exe ,and UMDGen.
2) Instal Them if you didnt do so
3) Get your Favorite Homebrew you want to conver into ISO
4) if the home brew is in XKploite Form convert it using PsPbrew into 1.0version
5) after doing so open EBOOT.PBP with PBP_Unpaker
6) extract data.psp
7) after that all you need to do is make two copys of that file
8) rename 1 of thoughs files to BOOT.BIN and the other to EBOOT.BIN
9) after doing that place both of thoughs files in SYSDIR dir IN UMD Structure
10) if the homebrew your trying load has other files in there directory you caN PLACE THEM
in SYSDIR two.
11) after placing every file in the right directory
12) Just USe UMD Gen to make a PSP COmpatable ISO.
13) then your done...
