46w ago - 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

If you are not able to run Hitman Absolution while on a 3.55 OFW PS3, then you may need to update your Core_OS (inside pup). You can do this by simply...
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
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
