SELF stands for Signed Executable and Linkable Format.
 
It is the format used by the executables on the PS3 (SCE Header Version 2), PS Vita (SCE Header Version 3).
 
It consists of an SELF header followed by the encapsulated ELF file. ELF segments can be compressed using gzip.
 
System and NPDRM SELFs are encrypted and signed and are decrypted on PSVita to memory by F00D.
 
ELF sections might be encrypted using AES CTR and signed using ECDSA + HMAC-SHA1.
 
SELF file has a specific header called SCE header where it stores all the parameters for this program.
 
= File Format  =
 
Notes:
 
* For PSVita SELF, little endian is used because of ARM32 endianness (whilst PS3 used big endian because of PowerPC endianness).
* Encapsulated ELF header fields are useless (only the EI_CLASS EI_DATA and EI_VERSION fields are checked)
 
== Extended Header ==
 
Extended Header offsets are relative to Certified File start.

There is one of these entries (Section Information) for each phdr entry (Program Header) in the ELF file so that the console knows where to decrypt the data from (because it might also be compressed).

Relocations can be of two types: 8 byte "short" entries or 12 byte "long" entries. The relocation code is the same as ARM ELF format.
 
 
Segment start = Buffer address of segment indexed at "Patch segment"
 
Symbol start = Buffer address of segment indexed at "Symbol segment"
 
Address to patch = segment start + offset
 
P = address to patch
 
S = "Symbol segment" == 15 ? 0 : symbol start
 
A = addend
