Sign EBOOT.PBP files for PSP

-= EBOOT Signer =-

 by Int-0

This program is a port of PSCRYPTER by Carlosgs. Code is modified to revert some changes in unpacker/packer routines to make them more flexibles. In PSP version one static buffer was created to store EBOOT.PBP file. In this version, small buffers was created in each I/O operation.

This program is ported to GNU/Linux (and maybe others) to make signed EBOOT.PBP's with homebrew toolchain. You can install this program into your pspsdk simply doing:

   $ make install

If you want to make write makefiles with "auto-sign" option add this rule:

EBOOT_signed.PBP: EBOOT.BPB ebootsign $^ $@

Your makefiles now make two files: EBOOT.PBP and EBOOT_signed.PBP (normal homebrew exe and signed exe). If you don't need unsigned file, change the rule:

EBOOT_signed.PBP: EBOOT.PBP ebootsign $^ $@ mv $@ $^ $(RM) $^

This rule it's a little crap because it don't generate EBOOT_signed.PBP file, buf make signed EBOOT.PBP file. If you have better idea, please send me!

ebootsigner's Issues

[question] signed files become larger

Since i've no idea where to look for support for this tool, i'm asking here.

I tried signing pspcomic, and signed file is ~5mb, while compiled unsigned pbp file was ~1.5mb. Haven't tested it, but i assume it works properly.

Is that an expected behavior of this application? Any signed homebrew i could find was around the same size signed and unsigned.
