There are only 3 games using this command and are libcrypt protected games:, Crash Team Racing (SCES-02105), MediEvil (SCES-00311), and Vagrant Story (SLES-02754)<br>

The command data contains an offset that points to an area where are stored a list of sectors (4 bytes each). When the emulator starts reading the list it doesnt knows how long is it so it reads groups of 4 bytes consecutivelly until it finds the value 00000000 that works as a terminator, the presence of this terminator at the end of the sector list is mandatory. Worth to note that list is more extensive than redump libcrypt one, but they match to some extend. Probably redump store only sectors really needed to run game correctly, while Sony decided to keep them all. Command is used only with LC1 games (Redump is wrong about medievil, is LC1).<br>
The libcrypt protection is related with subchannel data stored by sectors, in redump.org this data is managed with the SBI files, displayed in a hexeditor view in each specific game page. If we convert the data from the official format to decimal and we compare it with the sector numbers in the redump.org SBI file it can be seen all the libcrypt protected sectors from the SBI file are included in the official format<br>

The official format seems to include a lot more sectors which purpose is unknown<br>
