Hacking Converting and decrypting PSX Eboot.pbp's from PSN, on the PS Vita

[7ank0v1c]

Hey Guy's, the title basically is self explanatory.

Is there a way you can convert and decrypt PSX Eboot.pbp's from PSN, from the PS Vita.

I have a few psx games I bought from PSN and have recently hacked my Vita. Is there a way that I can dump these games (copy em over) and extract the iso and play them on my PC? I managed to find the eboot's, I copied em over and extracted the iso, but it won't play so my guess is they are encrypted?

Any ideas anyone?

I believe you're looking for this: https://github.com/Sorvigolova/psxtract

If memory serves, the Vita just runs PS1 Classics in the PSP emulator, so this tool should work for those.

Thank you so much dude, the link you gave me wasn't a good one, but this is: https://github.com/xdotnano/PSXtract/releases

You wouldnt happen to know how to extract the PSP games in the same way would you?

Thanks again this is a great help =)

PSP emulators should be able to run PSP games in Eboot format just fine (at least PPSSPP can, and I'm pretty sure JPCSP can as well). Or are you wanting to extract native PSP Eboots for modding purposes?

At any rate, no problem.

To be honest, they seem to work mostly fine in Ppsspp, but is there a way to extract to iso? Not any particular reason other than seeing which runs better? minor glitches on a couple of games

It depends on the game, your specs, and the config you are using. It's an emulation, after all.
PPSSPP runs them pretty smoothly with a few exceptions (mostly certain JP games that can't really benefit from anything the emulator can achieve), and you won't see any notable difference in performance i you were using an .ISO (the eboot itself is just a package, technically). Even if you were to measure it, its something trivial in the end.

If what you want is to play PSX games on PC, you are better off using a PSX emulator, which actual PSX .ISOs. Even though you can extract the .ISOs from the .pkgs from PSN, you could just download the original ripped .ISOs from somewhere else and save yourself the trouble. The same thing happens with PSP ISOs, though for some games you would need the PSN versions as some games didn't have physical copies and you could only get them via PSN.

Well, at least that's my opinion, which could save you a lot of time.
