    $PsxList
)

$Header = (Get-Content -Path $PsxList -TotalCount 1).Split(';')

$Csv = Import-Csv $PsxList -Delimiter ';' -Header $Header

$FileList = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter "*.psv"

$GameIdLength = 8

ForEach ($FileName in $FileList) {
    $GameId = $FileName.Name.Substring(2, 2 + $GameIdLength)
    $UniqueId = $FileName.Name.Substring(2 + 2 + $GameIdLength)

    $Title = $csv | Where-Object { $_.GameID -eq $GameId}
    if($Title.Length -gt 0) {
        if($UniqueId.Length -gt 0) {
            $NewName = "$($Title.Name)_$UniqueId"
        }
        else {
            $NewName = $Title.Name
        }
        Write-Host "Renaming $($FileName.Name) to $NewName"
        Rename-Item -Path $FileName -NewName $NewName
    }
}

Notes

This script will only act on .psv files. It will go through the directory and rename each file based upon the PlayStation GameID specified. The new name format is <Title>_.psv. NOTE: If no Unique ID is found, the files will instead just be the name of the game title.

Warning

Make a backup of these files first. While this script does not touch the contents of each file, I cannot guarantee that there are no errors in the PlayStation game id file used.

Parameters

• Path: the path to where the files are saved (again, .psv files only)
• PsxList: the path to a csv file (that uses semi-colons for delimiters) containing at least a column named GameID and a column named Title to map the filenames appropriately.

I did find a PS2 game ID list here, and used it for testing this script.
