How to Edit Kits in PES 2009 (PSP): Complete CFW Workflow and Option File Alternative

Direct on-PSP editing is impossible. Kit data is encrypted in EDIT.BIN / 0_texture.afs / dt0c.img. You need a PC + Custom Firmware (CFW) PSP workflow.

🛠️ Standard Workflow (CFW PSP Required)

1. Install CFW: 6.61 Infinity / LME / PRO (see hacks.guide).
2. Dump Game: UMD → ISO (via CFW VSH Menu → "USB Device" → "UMD Disc") OR Digital → Decrypt (NP Decryptor).
3. Extract on PC:
   • Tool: PES 2009 PSP Editor (by pesfan community) OR GGS (Game Graphic Studio) v7+ OR PESKitServer.
   • Open ISO → Navigate to PSP_GAME/USRDIR/DAT/0_texture.afs (kits/balls/faces) or EDIT.BIN (team data).
   • Extract kit textures (.tm2 / .gim format).
4. Edit Textures:
   • Convert .tm2 → .png (GGS / TMO Tool / TextureConverter).
   • Edit in Photoshop / GIMP / Paint.NET: Kits, fonts, logos, sleeves, collars. Keep resolution (256x256 / 512x512).
   • Convert back .png → .tm2 (Swizzled, indexed color).
5. Import & Repack:
   • Replace textures in 0_texture.afs via GGS / PESKitServer.
   • Update EDIT.BIN if changing kit assignments (Home/Away/GK slots).
   • Repack ISO (UMDGen).
6. Play: Load modded ISO via CFW (ISO Tool / CSO).

📦 Easier: Option Files / Patch Packs

• Search "PES 2009 PSP Option File 2024" / "PES 2009 PSP Kit Pack" on:
• PESFan Forums, PESGaming, r/WEPES, YouTube descriptions.
• Download → Place SAVEDATA folder on PSP/SAVEDATA/ → Load in-game → Extras → Edit → Data Management → Load Option File.
• Includes: Updated kits, rosters, faces, boots, balls, leagues (2023/24 season).

⚠️ Warnings

• Backup original ISO + SAVEDATA first.
• Kit slots limited (e.g., 16 teams per league). Replacing overwrites.
• Online play (Ad-hoc Party / XLink Kai) requires identical ISO + Option File for all players.
