PRX2 is only present on PSVita. PSP and PS3 use PRX version 1.
First LOAD segment p_paddr points to module info.


== Recognition ==
== Module Info ==


A PRX module is PRX2 format only if ehdr.e_type is ET_SCE_EXEC or ET_SCE_RELEXEC.

For PS3 (?and PSP?), it is located in text segment (first LOAD segment) at offset Elf32_Phdrs[text_seg_id].p_paddr - Elf32_Phdrs[text_seg_id].p_offset. Or more simply: at offset Elf32_Phdrs[text_seg_id].p_paddr in the ELF file.

Relocations can be found in either PT_SCE_PPURELA segments or SHT_SCE_PPURELA / SHT_RELA sections. RELA relocations are standard relocations while PPURELA relocations have 2 segment (program header) indexes stored in r_sym of r_info.
*The first index can be extracted with 0x7FFFFF00 as a mask and is used as a base address for r_addend. This sum will be the value applied to the patch.
*The second index can be extracted with 0x000000FF as a mask and is used as a base address for the target segment to patch and is added to r_offset.
*The first bit (0x80000000) is also set on earlier PRXs but it is currently unknown what it is used for.
