Editing PRX

[[Category:Software]]
SPRX stands for Signed PPU Relocatable Executable. 

First LOAD segment, paddr points to the descriptor for the "dependency table" or "deptable" for short:

NOTE: All addresses inside the file assume the ELF header isn't there (basically add 0xE0 to all addresses.)(ELF64 header size is 0x40, no?)

Second LOAD segment is all the relocation and symbol data, save for the names (as ASCII strings) of the exposed functions (which are in the first LOAD segment along with all the other strings the PRX uses).

At the start of this section is the wrapper list, just a flat array of pointers to subroutines that appear to be wrappers for calling functions in other PRXes. This combined with the deptable maps those wrappers to PRXes.

At EOF-20 is a pointer to the start of the funcpointer table. After 0xFFFFFFFF and a handful of pointers into itself, it goes into a list of pointers to subroutines (as longs) each followed by a long containing the unique ID from the deptable descriptor.

Table number two: All longs(?) The very first is a pointer to the very start of the funcpointer table.

There is a table that's a listing of the functions exposed to apps/other PRXes. This table is usually referenced by a function; how exactly it is reached remains to be seen.

= FNID generation =

==== symbol name suffix ====
 symbol_name_suffix: 6759659904250490566427499489741A

To calculate FNID value of exported/imported symbol from .PRX you need to take SHA-1 hash over concatenation of symbol's name and symbol_name_suffix and then grab first 4 bytes from it and reverse these bytes (because of little-endian).
Let's take, for example, ''_sys_sprintf'':
  ''SHA1''('_sys_sprintf' + '\x67\x59\x65\x99\x04\x25\x04\x90\x56\x64\x27\x49\x94\x89\x74\x1A') = '''FEEAF9A1'''23D7D1A7619B40CD52500F9735A852A4
  ''FNID''('_sys_sprintf') = ''swap_uint32''('''0xFEEAF9A1''') = '''0xA1F9EAFE'''.

For C++ functions you should use mangled representation of symbol's name.
For example, mangled name of ''std::runtime_error::what() const'' is ''_ZNKSt13runtime_error4whatEv'' and FNID('_ZNKSt13runtime_error4whatEv') = '''0x5333BDC9'''.
More complex example:
FNID(mangle('std::basic_filebuf<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t> >::seekpos(std::fpos<std::
_Mbstatet>, std::_Iosb<int>::_Openmode)')) = FNID('_ZNSt13basic_filebufIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7seekposESt4fposISt9_MbstatetENSt5_IosbIiE9_OpenmodeE') = '''0xB6A4D760'''
