Magic value incorrect (not an ELF?) #7
Description
Trying prxtool with various Sony modules (starting with 0x7E534345), always get the same output:
PRXTool v1.1 : (c) TyRaNiD 2k6
Built: Jul 9 2024 08:49:07
Error: Magic value incorrect (not an ELF?)
Error: Couldn't load prx file structures
Done
For example, audiocodec.prx or libatrac3plus.prx can be used. Not giving direct links to these files, but there's a list of UMD/PSN games from which these files can be legally obtained.
Is this tool not supposed to work with these prx modules?

These binaries are encrypted, you can decrypt them using this tool: https://github.com/John-K/pspdecrypt

I have now built
pspdecrypt, but for every prx I try to decrypt, I get "Unknown input file format!" error. Am I supposed to use some extra options for successful prx decryption? Can't find anything related in the documentation.tpimh commentedon Jul 15, 2024
As discussed in Discord, pspdecrypt doesn't handle the
~SCEheader.There are two solutions:
~PSPheader start:tail -c +65 libsmth.prx > libsmth-psp.prxsharkwouter commentedon Jul 15, 2024
@tpimh If there are no issues with the fixed up implementation, we should probably merge those changes.

prxtoolis fine,pspdecryptis the tool that needed fiddling. Of course, we can fork the original pspdecrypt to pspdev organization, then merge the changes from the fork that can skip the ~SCE header.sharkwouter commentedon Jul 16, 2024
Oh, fair. I think John is still active, though.
