VSH is the internal name used by Sony for the VShell aka VirtualShell. It then loads up the XMB you know.XrossMediaBar (XMB). This, is a user space executable (vsh.self), loaded by lv2_kernel/sys_init_osd.

from here several other functions/syscalls to other modules are made, e.g. lv2 (SELF decryption), lv1 (Secure_RTC, Storage_Manager, Gelic_Device, BD_Drive) etc.

not much is documented (yet) about this module. Please fill in where possible.

Modes

possible arguments to pass when executing vsh.self:

  • --mode=gametool
  • --mode=gametool2
  • --arcade=true

Offsets

Function 3.55 3.41 3.15 Notes

sub_308EE4 check_Is_Act_Dat_for_This_Acc_ID

To help documenting offsets, you can use this dumper tool for vsh.
