So it has to be one of 'em.

OK just put back the uncompressed paf.prx and now my battery is correct again:D
I hope this isssue can be worked out of the compressor.


you sure its due compression and not due strangely edited paf.prx? ;p
could you try the attachment below? its the default paf.prx just repacked.


Attached File(s)
.rar  repacked m33 351 paf.rar (Size: 757.28 KB / Downloads: 168)

RE: recompress PRX files
@ bstronga: I solved the exact module type identification in my program, only one left: how do I know which module is vsh module and which one is firmware kernel module? I wouldn't let the users decide which key is eligible for the selected prxes because it's really hard to know. Is it as simple as:
vsh modules » everything in vsh folder
firmware kernel modules » everything NOT in vsh folder?

I see, thanks. And is there any special sign in sce files (except the name inside) which can help me to realize the module type?

And another question: if you compressed the inacor.prx, how did you do that? I de- and recompressed it and I got 2kB larger file than the original. It's almost 8% difference in a relatively small file and could be useful with larger files... :)

not sure yet.

i used 7-zip ;p by the way you should listen to Zinga Burga and use zlib for de/inflating.

So the only way is the read the name from the file... bad news.

I didn't think I could use zlib in my program because I'm not as good coder as you or Zinga Burga. I thought using gzip is the simpliest way, but now I realized that I can implement zlib to my program and it's really comfortable. Thank you and Zinga Burga for the information and help.

RE: recompress PRX files
Can't really check now, but If I recall correctly, in the encrypted vshmain.prx - isn't there some text which says something like vsh* at the beginning of the file?

PS: bstronga, do you program?  I think many of your mods would do well in a program from you XD

Can't figure out why recompression would have that much of an impact, other than using different compression levels...

@ Zinga Burga: I mean "good modder as bstronga or good coder as Zinga Burga". :)

@ Zmathue: Actually at level 9 smaller than original S0NY or M33 prx, but with zlib even smaller (8%) which is enough reason to change the compression method to zlib. ;)
