PS Vita Magic Reader Script Out, PUP / SFO / PSF Support Incoming

[PS3 News]

Today PlayStation Vita developer PsDev has made available a PS Vita Magic Reader script for those interested and noted that PUP, SFO and PSF support are also currently in the works.

To quote from his blog (linked above): Made this script in about 10 min. It extracts the Magic ASCII, PUP Version and License.xml from a VITA PUP here is the script.

Right now the script is stupid and doesn’t do much, I plan on adding a full PUP dump and a SFO/PSF dumper.

    #!/bin/bash

    # PsDev 2012. this script extract the PUP magic.

    #Edit from PsiColio

    #Will be adding on more stuff for it to extract in time…

    # File names to extract from the PUP

    Extract=( “Magic” “PUP_Version” “license.xml” )

    #length starting from the offset and it ending in the offsets total length

    length=( 0×8 0×10 0x724B4) #how many long the file is how much to copy, for example the Magic starts at 0×0 and the length is 0×8 bytes.

    #offset of the Magic, Version and License

    offset=( 0×0 0x9FF 0xC00 ) #where the file dump begins in the hex.

    cont=0

    printf “____________________________\n”

    printf ” PsDev \n”

    printf ” PUP READER \n”

    printf “____________________________ \n\n”

    for file in “${Extract[@]}” #tells it for a file look in Extract = the the file names

    do

    printf “____________________________ \n”

    printf ” %s\n” “${file}” #file name

    printf “____________________________ \n”

    printf “offset= %s\n” “${offset[$cont]}” #tells offset of file

    printf “length= %s\n” “${length[$cont]}” #tells total offset length of file

    printf “%s\n” “${cont}”

    dd if=$1 of=$file bs=1 obs=1 skip=$((${offset[$cont]})) count=$((${length[$cont]}))

    cont=$(($cont+1)) # make sure the usage is “./Magic-reader.sh PSP2UPDAT.PUP”

    done

I added a lot of comments to it, just to make it more clear on what’s going on. Also added a offset and length teller for the hex and then the rest of the edit of course

    How to:
    Make a new file named “Magic-reader.sh”

    \Run “chmod +x Magic-reader.sh” to give to execution permissions

    Now in terminal run it. “./Magic-reader.sh PSP2UPDAT.PUP” It will output the three files in the folder/location the scripts located in.

    Example out Terminal LOG:
    ./Magic-reader.sh PSP2UPDAT.PUP

Following up on his initial release, today PlayStation Vita homebrew developer PsDev has updated his PS Vita Magic Reader Script to version 1.1 with the details below.

To quote: A while back as a test I made Magic Reader v1 that extracted the Magic (SCEUF), the FW version and license.xml out of the Vita PUP. Well I just added a extraction for the whole Vita Header of PUP.

This script extracts the following:

• Magic(SCEUF)
• PUP Version
• License
• Package Version
• Image Version
• File Count
• Header length
• Package length
• A Unknown bit of values 0x50 in length
• FileTable
• HashTable
• HeaderHash

Also later I'll add a FileTable extractor. which is determined by the FileCount.

This is a linux script and will run in any linux environment.

    #!/bin/bash
    # PsDev 2012. this script extract the PUP magic.
    #Edit from PsiColio lv1.self extractrion
    #just extracts the header info from a vita pup, good for comparison kinda useless atm and most likely always.

    # File names to extract from the PUP
    Extract=( "Magic" "PUPVersion" "License.xml" "PackageVersion" "ImageVersion" "FileCount" "HeaderLength" "PakageLength" "UNKNOWN" "FileTable" "HashTable" "HeaderHash" )

    #length starting from the offset and it ending in the offsets total length
    length=( 0x8 0x10 0x724B4 0x8 0x8 0x8 0x8 0x8 0x50 0x20 0x40 0x20) #how many long the file is how much to copy, for example the Magic starts at 0x0 and the length is 0x8 bytes.

    #offset of the Magic, Version and License
    offset=( 0x0 0x9FF 0xC00 0x8 0x10 0x18 0x20 0x28 0x30 0x80 0x100 0x130 ) #where the file dump begins in the hex.

    cont=0

    printf "____________________________\n"
    printf " PsDev \n"
    printf " Magic Reader \n"
    printf "____________________________ \n\n"

    for file in "${Extract[@]}" #tells it for a file look in Extract = the the file names

    do

    printf "____________________________ \n"

    printf " %s\n" "${file}" #file name

    printf "____________________________ \n"

    printf "offset= %s\n" "${offset[$cont]}" #tells offset of file
    printf "length= %s\n" "${length[$cont]}" #tells total offset length of file
    printf "%s\n" "${cont}"

    dd if=$1 of=$file bs=1 obs=1 skip=$((${offset[$cont]})) count=$((${length[$cont]}))

    cont=$(($cont+1)) # make sure the usage is "./Magic-reader.sh PSP2UPDAT.PUP"

    done

How to:

• Make a new file named "Magic-reader.sh"
• Run "chmod +x Magic-reader.sh" to give to execution permissions
• Now in terminal run it. "./Magic-reader.sh PSP2UPDAT.PUP" It will output the three files in the folder/location the scripts located in.

Example out of the old Terminal LOG in v1, not updated there is a lot more files:

    ./Magic-reader.sh PSP2UPDAT.PUP

    PUP READER
