Explaination[edit | edit source]

Loaders are used for loading other modules.

Commonly found in CoreOS and Flash.


Known loaders[edit | edit source]

Loader Location Type Zlib support Fself support Remarks
bootldr Flash Boot Loader NO NO primary loader from chain of trust, loads lv0
metldr Flash Meta Loader NO NO aka asecure_loader. Loads other loaders
appldr CoreOS Application Loader YES YES loads userspace [f]selfs e.g. vsh.self, videoplayer_plugin.sprx, disc/NPDRM EBOOT.BINs and EDAT files
isoldr CoreOS Isolation Loader NO NO loading isolated SPU modules
lv1ldr CoreOS Hypervisor Loader YES NO loads lv1.self (Hypervisor)
lv2ldr CoreOS Supervisor Loader YES NO loads lv2_kernel.self (Supervisor kernel)

Stop Codes[edit | edit source]

Stop Code Module Remark
0x30 isoldr/appldr Version mismatch (isoldr version differs from version returned by SPU channel 73).
0x16 isoldr Revoke List Error
0x17 isoldr Adresses needs to be aligned
0x21 lv1ldr ???
0x27 appldr SPU arg at 0x3E840
0x20 metldr header error
0x23 metldr ECDSA signature failure

0x27

When booting, lv1ldr store its version in this region writing to ch_72.
isoldr asks for the version in two chuncks, if you want to pass version 3.41 (0x0003004100000000)

Note: this version check was recently added, maybe in fw 3.41 

//for ch_73_round_0
data0 = 0x00030041;
//for ch_73_round_1
data1 = 0x00000000;

lv1ldr[edit | edit source]

Used for loading the hypervisor (lv1.self). It also handles some initialization of the ATA and ENCDEC subsystems.

lv2ldr[edit | edit source]

Used to verify and decrypt lv2 selfs (lv2_kernel.self, ps2_emu.self, ps2_gxemu.self, ps2_softemu.self, ps2_netemu.self)

And to install RVK-list.
