ISO.BIN.EDAT

ISO.BIN.EDAT

This is an encryted container format, first step to work with it is to decrypt it
After decryption we shoould refer to it as ISO.BIN.DAT (without the "E"... so the EDAT became a DAT)

ISO.BIN.DAT (decrypted)

This can be considered an intermediate container composed by the ISO.BIN + a 40 bytes signature at bottom
For the purpose of this wiki page and the concept of extracting data from layers like an onion we need to delete the last 40 bytes to convert a ISO.BIN.DAT into a ISO.BIN
The signature is intended as a sanity check to the ISO.BIN data. In other words if you are going to modify the ISO.BIN you will need to generate a new signature for it when rebuilding it
Example source-code to generate the 40 byte signature can be found in sign3.py which is part of pop-fe.

ISO.BIN structure

All offsets are in little endian (except in the last table where there are two counters in decimal)

1 block = 1024 bytes (0x400)
1 cluster = 16 blocks = 1024*16 bytes =16384 bytes (0x4000)

disc_starts ----------> 0x000400 (disc1), 0x100400 (disc2), 0x200400 (disc3), 0x300400 (disc4), etc...
disc_tocs -----------> 0x000C00 (disc1), 0x100C00 (disc2), 0x200C00 (disc3), 0x300C00 (disc4), etc...
disc_map_tables ----> 0x004400 (disc1), 0x104400 (disc2), 0x204400 (disc3), 0x304400 (disc4), etc...

Header (optional)

1 block = 1024 bytes (0x400)

Always exists in PS1 classic multidiscs (the example below is from ff8), in the official PS1 classics single disc doesnt exists, but the custom PS1 classics single discs can use it (there are custom tools that adds it in all cases)

	0x0200	0x64 (100 bytes)	discs_start_offsets	00 04 00 00	25 chunks of 4 bytes ... each chunk = start position of each disc, in games with only 1 disc only the first 4 bytes are used

64 clusters, 1024 blocks, 10485576 bytes (0x100000)

This structure is repeated one time for every disc of the game all them joined together consecutivelys (the example below is from ff8), the whole space is reserved even when there is no data used

Game params table

There is a setting related with PS1 libcrypt protection in this area (located at relative absolute offset 0x12B0 for single disc or 0x16B0 in the first disc for Multidisc, length 0x4 little endian), see: talk

Libcrypt in emulator is supported by supplying ready 16 bit key in little endian format (0xA371 in CTR example). List of keys can be obtained using Libcrypt Magic Word Finder PSX

Disc map table

The table has an area reserved of 1032192 bytes. Divided in 32256 entries, of 32 bytes each entry. The number of used entryes in the file_table can vary (seems to be dependant of the .iso contents). The number of entries availables to store data is affected by a checksum (16 bytes) that is present only in the the last block of each cluster (in block nº16 of every cluster) When this checksum is between used entryes... his length is 32 bytes (it "steals" the area of one entry) Seems to be a checksum of this block... when the block is filled with zeroes the checksum is : 1CCE0033 60C6E8A6 B36A972D 00EAFDBF

The first 4 bytes of each entry (file offset from start of .iso root) increases for each entry in a amount of bytes determined by the previous entryes.... in other words... the second file in the .iso is displaced the number of bytes used by the first file... and the third file is displaced in a amount of bytes used by the addition of the sizes of first and second file

Entry Nº	Offset	Length	Name	Example	Notes
1	0x00	0x04 (4 bytes)	file_offset	0	file offset from start of .iso root (for the first entry is always 0)
	0x04	0x02 (2 bytes)	file_size	variable	this size determines the displacement of the next file (in the next entry)
	0x06	0x02 (2 bytes)	file_type ?	01 00	usually 1... and 0 for the last entry
	0x08	0x10 (16 bytes)	file_checksum	variable	First 16 bytes of the sha1 of the uncompressed data
	0x18	0x08 (8 bytes)	padding
Up to 32256					same structure than the previous entry

Common Disc table

Composed by a variable number of entries (depends of the number of files/folders inside the discs), 12 bytes each entry

Entry Nº	Offset	Length	Name	Example	Notes
1	0x00	0x04 (4 bytes)	file_offset ?	0	always increases
	0x04	0x02 (2 bytes)	file_type ?	01 01	always 01 01
	0x06	0x03 (3 bytes)	counter 1		some kind of counter, in decimal, always increases <-------- related with "sectors" inside the .iso ?
	0x09	0x03 (3 bytes)	counter 2		another counter, in decimal, always increases, its in relationship with the previous counter (this one is always 200 bytes bigger than the previous one)
Up to ?					same structure than the previous entry

Subchannel data

This is data stored in separate .pgd in psar (0xED4 [0x12D4] in ISO header point to it if available), should be required only for games that use libcrypt protection (LC2 and higher). Header of decrypted file is FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF, end of file is marked by FFFFFFFF 00000000 FFFFFFFF. Values are always 150 sectors lower than real disc sector (pregap?). Values are in little endian (sector only actually, others are 1 byte values).

Entry Nº	Name	Offset	Size (bytes)	Example	Notes
1 or 2?	Sector	0x00	4
	Track Number	0x04	1
	Index	0x05	1
	Pmin(relative)	0x06	1

Notes

• You can decrypt any eboot.pbp from a mini OR pspremaster OR psn paid eboot(?) with npdpc
• You can use any header on an iso.bin, and the ps3 won't even try to check it
• (be) means that the generated table values will have to be endian swapped when using npdpc (now possible thanks to arnold)
• [arnold's code]

About PS2 Classics

There are some new formats present in PS2 Classics. The first one is ISO.BIN.ENC, the second one is .dxt, which is inside CONTENT folder and there's also a single file named CONFIG. You can see more about this when you first install a PS2 Classic. There's also a problem with the Data while trying to execute the instalable file. The message Unsupported Data appears on the screen when highliting the file and the error 80028F14 is shown while trying to start.
This was made with the Max Payne game. There could probably be other formats present aswell

ISO.BIN.EDAT

For PSN PS2-Classics Games ISO.BIN.EDAT only contains the Title Id of the disc. Example:

SLES-12345
