    I can't find any actual binary for it... however, there are several simulators out there and sample code. Why not create your own?

    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    well I use SPIM...and i wrote a simple program...but I can't compile it from Windows. There are a few cross-assemblers for Linux, but I'm not to linux-oriented or w/e.

    Hmmmm,

    It seems that when I try to decompile the files in EBOOT.PBP (bootloader type deal on the PSP), I can only view garbage because it's disassembled as Intel metapc....and I'm not given the option for any MIPS procs even though IDA Standard supports MIPS.
    But you say that you don't have a MIPS R4000 executable file?..................I think that you have gotten hold of an "emulator" file...............these were part of modules to let you emulate MIPS/RISC on other platforms..............OK for learning, but not for analysis/development. In that case I am not surprised that you saw a load of nonsense, and it doesn't matter what format, it is not what we need?

    I think that you need to get us an example, otherwise we will get nowhere?

    cheers

    Yea there partly (by the look of things) encrypted with 128bit AES encryption, I wanna get my hands on one and experiment with a side channel crypto attack, but im a poor student so have no pennys to waste on an expensive toy at the moment.

    Its weird the psp-linux people dont seem to have pushed so hard as the ds-linux people did with there hardware, i dont get why they havent tried changing or disconnected the clock speed to see whether the AES keys are generated from the RT clock. they keep saying theyll be ready in a month, and there researching but just seems like there pussy footing around.

    Well the admin at psp-linux.org is the same guy who runs dslinux, so I think the deadline is possible. There have been alot of talks about trying a buffer overflow or even getting unencrypted data from memory to do some work with.

    This is the EBOOT.PBP unpacker: http://pdc.me.uk/pbp/pbp-unpacker-050.exe

    The 13MB PBP can be found here: http://dj01.psp.update.playstation....e4b24/EBOOT.PBP

    After that, I just disassembled as x86 code and was checking out the plaintext. the PBP contains a few files, and I wanted to find out what was what.

    Hi

    Recently, I was made to pay attention to this page, which describes quite
    nicely executable file formats[1], partly very detailed (credits to white_scorpion).
    Really good read.

    as per your MIPS problem (if it still is one )
    Can't you compile it using as[2], with the -mips3 option? Then, you would
    have a binary to use. See details for MIPS ELF[3] and MIPS ECOFF[4]

    Cheers.

    p.s. I am aware that this thread is a few days old. The link to [1] I just got
    a few days ago.
