PRX

scetool can decrypt SPRX's, producing an ELF... or is it? Not really. It has an ELF header but...
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.)
Offset | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
+0 | long | Always(?) 0x101 |
+4 | char[28] | Name of this PRX, padded out with zeroes. Doesn't necessarily match the file name(why?) |
+32 | long | A unique module ID? Gets used a lot later... |
+36 | long | Points to the deptable header |
+40 | long | Points to the END of the deptable header |
+44 | long | Points to the start of first deptable entry |
+48 | long | points to the end of the LAST deptable entry |
Deptable header:
Offset | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
+0 | long[5] | Always(?) 0x1C000000, 0x80000002, 0x10000, 0, 0 |
+20 | long | Points to three longs which are always(?) 0xBC9A0086, 0xAB779874, 0xD7F43016. The start of the mystery table. |
+24 | long | Points to three pointers in the mystery table. Two go to pointers to subroutines in the funcpointer table, the third goes back to the deptable descriptor. |
Entry in the deptable:
Offset | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
+0 | short[2] | Always(?) 0x2C00, 1 |
+4 | short | Flags? 0x1 is always set, 0x8 often, 0x2000 seems to indicate a non-PRX library (like "stdc" or "allocator") that comes from somewhere else (LV2?) |
+6 | short | The number of functions the depending PRX needs from the depended PRX. There's this many entries in the Mystery Table for that PRX, and there is this many function pointers in the stubtable (see below). |
+8 | short | Usually 0, but "paf" gets sometimes 5, sometimes 6. More flags maybe? |
+10 | short[3] | Always(?) 0. Probably for alignment. |
+16 | long | Pointer to the ASCII string of the depended PRX's name. These don't seem to consistently map with the PRX's file name in dev_flash. |
+20 | long | Pointer to this library's entries in the mystery table. |
+24 | long | Pointer to the the pointers to function stubs for this library in the stubtable. |
+28 | long[2] | 0, 0 for every PRX except paf, which gets two more sets in the mystery table, pointed to by these. I suspect that +8 is somehow connected to this. |
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).
