Steps to reproduce

  1. Download a legitimate EBOOT format game from the PlayStation Store that supports title updates, like the ones I put down.
  2. Download the title update for the game with the update button.
  3. Attempt to launch the game through the custom launcher with the setting for "Show DLC" turned off

PBOOTs will also overtake the detection of the original EBOOT if both are in the same game folder and if "Show DLC" is turned on.

This can be worked around by using an .iso version of the game and update it with ISO_Tool. The XMB on Adrenaline with ARK-4 (Strangely it doesn't seem to work with the stock version of Adrenaline) or a real PSP will also natively support the PBOOT update patching. That being said, it is still unfortunate that this is a missing feature.

It would also be nice if there was support for PBOOT updates on ISOs without the need of an external tool, just like neur0n's ME custom firmwares.

I have also mentioned this on the PSP Homebrew Discord server, but I figured I post it here too so it's more publically known.
