PSVStrip
PSVStrip v0.2 - http://kippykip.com
Description:
This is a small tool to strip out the unique license and header data found in PlayStation Vita (.PSV) games dumped with https://github.com/motoharu-gosuto/psvgamesd.
Since having multiple copies of the same PSVita game will actually contain slightly different license data, this tool provides a way so that hashes can be compared with other dumps for verification/preservation purposes, or so the unique data can be backed up for personal use in the form of a .PSVE file.
This program is an attempt to be a replacement for https://github.com/FakeShemp/VitaLicenseEditor
Arguments:
PSVStrip.exe -psvstrip source.psv destination.psv
PSVStrip.exe -dirstrip sourcedirectory exportdirectory
PSVStrip.exe -applypsve source.psv destination.psv stripdata.psve
Argument Definitions:
-psvstrip: Strips out license data into external files for checksum purposes.
(a new stripped .PSV file, and the export files .HDR/.UNK/.LIC1/.LIC2/.PSVE).
-dirstrip: Strips out licensing data from multiple .PSV files in a directory (in bulk).
-applypsve: Re-adds the licensing data and header info back to a stripped .PSV file.
Upcoming
- Maybe find a way of adding fake license data, so stripped games are bootable again without the need of a .PSVE file.
Version History
Version 0.2
- Fixed a minor mistake where I listed "-psvstrip" twice when the program listed arguments.
- Fixed a bug where the program where it would trim extensions off any path.
https://github.com/Kippykip/PSVStrip/issues/1
- Added drag & drop batch files like my other tool [SBITools]
- PSVSTRIP.bat
- Drag a .PSV file onto it, and it'll strip to filename_strip.* files.
- PSVDIRSTRIP.bat
- Drag a directory of full of .PSV files and it'll strip to PSVExport\filename_strip.*
- PSVAPPLYPSVE.bat
- Basically a really weak GUI version of the -applypsve command written in batch.
It asks for paths step by step. For people with no knowledge on the command line.
Version 0.1
- Initial release
