A Peek inside a PS3 PKG file

Had a little time over the weekend to play with some PS3 .PKG files.

Here is a peek inside a PS3 Package file, see below!

For reference, some files like executables are still encrypted even when unpacked from a .PKG file, sound files are not. PSARC files are definitely compressed and likely encrypted as well.

woow i rekon this will help people out to do these kinda stuff for the ps3

But anyone mind explaining to me what the hell this means? There're bubbles in it for you....

Lord Anubis6349d ago

it means nothing to anyone, there really isn't anything that can be fed off from the package.

BTW pick a new name. Anubis is already taken. Go with RA the king of Gods but just don't use my name.

-EvoAnubis-6349d ago

I've been Anubis since forever . . . almost as long as I've been DeAno (which, needless to say, is since birth). In fact, the only reason I'm not EvoAnubis here on this site (like I am everywhere else) is because I guess I messed up the first time I signed up and put the wrong email address, so I figured my clan account name would do.

And, for the record, Ra sucks. As do all the "gods" in Egyptian mythology except for Anubis. Then again, I think you know that already. Cool avatar, by the way.

I'll try to explain this as easy as possible.
This is a "Warhawk Blu-Ray Disc patch 13" .pkg file (.pkg might be short for package)
You should consider a .pkg file as you would a zip, rar, or any other archive format.
This picture shows the content of the package. There are some soundfiles, bootfiles, a picture (The PNG one), and one unknown file (the data00p.psarc, which probably is an encrypted archive)

The reason people should want to know this, is that this might gain us entry to some of the deeper stoored PS3 files. This would allow us to run our own codes through linux, gain RSX access, and so on.
BUT! This is one step on a 1000 foot ladder, so don't expect anything from this.

OK, all the demos we download off PSN, and the Patches come in s PKG file...which is an encrypted munge file i.e. it contains other files within it.

So, now that the hackers jave managed to open the file...they know whats inside...and if they figure out to rebuild it back into a PKG file...then they can put their own data into the PKG...and maybe launch other games or homebrew.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga18h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis00710h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein16h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
