Can't create bubbles for some PBP games
- PSVITA model: PCH-1101
- Version of firmware: 3.65 Henkaku Enso
- Version of ABM: 6.16
- Version of Adrenaline: 7
After installing ABM ~~and creating some bubbles~~
Obtained result: Some of my purchased PSP games did not appear in the list of games to make bubbles for
Explain the issue
The app fails to detect certain PSP games that I legally purchased from the Japanese Playstation Store. Of the 7 games I own, 5 fail to load. I did some debugging and I believe the issue is located in the scan.insertPBP function.
The reason the games don't load is due to the sceid check that starts on line 97:
local sceid = game.sceid(string.format("%s__sce_ebootpbp",files.nofile(hand.path)))
if sceid and sceid != "---" and sceid != hand.name then
_insert=false--nothing
end
I added a custom_msg call at line 98 and confirmed that the name of the game folder does not match the sceid that gets loaded:
custom_msg(string.format("do not insert %s; sceid is %s", hand.name, sceid))

The underlying issue is that these games all had multiple releases with different IDs. The ID that gets loaded from the game.sceid() call seems to be the "final" release (such as an Ultimate Hits version) while the versions I have are from a previous version. You can look the various IDs up from here: https://psxdatacenter.com/psp/ntsc-j_list.html.
Here's a list of all the games that fail to load (all Japanese titles):
| Game | Folder Name | game.sceid() |
|---|---|---|
| Tales of Phantasia - Narikiri Dungeon X | ULJS00293 | NPJH50848 |
| Tales of Destiny 2 | ULJS00097 | NPJH50850 |
| Tales of Rebirth | ULJS00132 | NPJH50851 |
| Tales of Eternia | ULJS00015 | NPJH50853 |
| Tactics Ogre – Unmei no Wa | ULJM05753 | NPJH50348 |
Extra info
- Have you done anything to try to fix it?: I commented out the check in lines 97-99 and I was able to create bubbles for my games successfully. I'm not sure if there's any side effects of skipping that check though.
- Using omc
- Using tai:config.txt at ur0
- Did you add the adrenaline line to tai:config.txt?: Yes
- Issue on a specific bubble or all ABM bubbles?: Specific bubbles, listed above

Thanks, I tried that and that worked for me.
