Overview

STAR files store packages on the PSX Update Disc 2.11. It is a fairly simple archive format. Each entry consists of the following segments:

  • a header (size: 0x8 bytes)
  • a file name (size is specified in header)
  • the actual file data (size specified in header)
  • sha-1 hash of file data (size: 0x14 bytes)

Header structure

0x1 1 Padding (always 0x00)
0x2 4 32 bit file data size
0x6 1 Size of file name alone
0x7 1 Padding (always 0x00)
