PS3 ISO Renamer

A Python utility that scans a folder of PS3 ISO files and automatically renames them using their Game IDs and shortened names.

Features

• Extracts Game IDs (e.g., BLUS-30289) from PS3_DISC.SFB files inside ISOs
• Renames ISOs to a clean, standardized format: Game Name [GAME-ID].iso
• Skips ISOs that already have valid Game IDs in their filenames
• Sanitizes filenames to be NTFS-safe
• Shows progress with a visual progress bar

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• 7-Zip installed and available in PATH (or specify custom path)
• Required Python packages:

  pip install requests tqdm

Usage

Basic usage:

python PS3ISORenamer.py /path/to/iso/folder

With custom 7-Zip path:

python PS3ISORenamer.py /path/to/iso/folder --zip-exe-path "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"

How It Works

1. Scans the specified folder for .iso files
2. Checks if the filename already contains a valid PS3 Game ID
   • If not, extracts the PS3_DISC.SFB file from the ISO using 7-Zip
     1. Reads the Game ID from the SFB file
     2. Creates a shortened name based on the redump ISO file name
     3. Renames the ISO to: [Shortened Name] [GAME-ID].iso

Example

Before:

God of War III (USA) (v1.02).iso

After:

God of War III [BCUS-98111].iso

Notes

• The script only processes ISOs that don't already have a valid Game ID in the format [XXXX-XXXXX]
• Original ISOs are renamed in place (not copied)
• Invalid characters for NTFS filesystems are automatically removed
• Parenthetical information (like region or version) is stripped from the shortened name
