The scene's equivalent to Sony's PKGS format but in this case it's to be used with a HENkaku-enabled PS Vita or PS TV. It does not use any encryption over files so you can not install a VPK with the official PKG installer and vice versa. VitaShell can not install PKGS files.

Make your own VPK files[edit | edit source]

Do it the same it would be done for self-made PKGS files but instead of the original encrypted files, use the ones from your project or from another place for non-encrypted app files.

File format[edit | edit source]

File Layout[edit | edit source]

  • The PKZip (Zip) file. (.vpk) format consists of:
File Layout
Local file header 1
File data 1
Data descriptor 1
Local file header 2
File data 2
Data descriptor 2
...
Local file header n
File data n
Data descriptor n
Archive descriptor header
Archive extra data record
Central directory

Local File[edit | edit source]

  • For a single local file:
byte index Description
[0x00-0x03] Signature of the local file header. This is always '\x50\x4b\x03\x04'.
[0x04-0x05] Version
[0x06-0x07] Flags
Bit index
00 01-02 03 04 05 06 07-10 11 12 13 14-15
encrypted file compression option data descriptor enhanced deflation compressed patched data strong encryption unused language encoding reserved mask header values reserved
