You have been given all the answers you need in this thread and they all loop back to you using one of the card manager apps to accomplish what you want to do. I don't know what your circumstances are that are keeping you from using the card manager apps but you will have to figure that out.
To repeat what has already been said here....The isos have the name and cover image embedded in them. To make them what you want without using the card manager apps, you will have to disassemble the iso, change the name in ip.bin file, change/delete the cover image, then reassemble the iso. Do that for each game. Otherwise use one of the card manager apps to change the name and live with whatever the cover image is.
You already confirmed you can't find the file that changes the names when you manually loaded the games. You confirmed the .txt files inside the folders didn't work when you manually loaded the games. So therefore they work with the card manager apps. But you won't use them. The card manager by madsheep is the easiest since it makes the same basic menu you get by manually loading. Again I have no clue what your circumstances are but you will have to use one of those apps to get the names the way you want. Or use different isos.
Hi, forgive my foolishness. It's basically due to believing that whatever a card manager does to GD-Menu for custom game naming, it had to be made with external files, given the closed nature of the latter, and especially after finding out that game collection with the name.txt files I mentioned. I also didn't understand you totally because you refer to the DC disc images as ISOs, and also the concept of a disc image containing meta data such as JPG files (which don't belong to the original ROM data itself) is new to me - I'm not too used to this stuff.
I can't run SD Card Manager on my Windows computer, and I had discarded Madsheep's Card Maker after reading that you can't edit game names for the display with it. I've just given this one a try (V1.10, 24-04-2018) and I'm afraid I'm still out of luck - I find options to move, delete or verify the images but none that lets me edit the game names, even by right-clicking on the list. I've found something, though - for the disc images I have a name.txt file in the folder, Card Maker displays the name contained in the file. However, after letting it save the resulting list, my GD-Menu still displays the original game names instead of the ones shown by Card Maker. It, however, did delete the 01 folder's content, which I replaced with a clean one. I guess that's what broke the process.
