[Release] PKG/SPKG Tools for CFW 3.55/4.XX (SRC Available)

PS3HaX member and PS3 developer nathan_r32_69 has released his personal PKG/SPKG Tools. Read the release notes below for more information.

After being inactive for a while because I had a problem, finally i finished to create and fix my personal tools for PKG/SPKG

This tools are based on failoverflow’s tools, but with support for spkg files on CFW 4.XX, for for example, install a PUP directly from XMB or avoid to do a downgrade to 3.55 to install

A spkg file contains header/metadata for that pkg who has his name, PS3 on +3.56 checks his header/metadata for matching, if not fails and can’t install
On FW 3.55 and below is not necessary that spkg files

Minimum Requirements

• Patched spu_pkg_rvk_verifier (disable ecdsa check)
• Have spkg files on your “.ps3″ folder

Features

• spkg.exe – This tool creates a spkg file from a pkg file
• unspkg.exe – This tool decrypts spkg files (*.spkg_hdr.1)
• new_pkg.exe – The tool creates a pkg file and simultaneously a spkg file, the last one is compatible with the first one
• new_unpkg.exe – This tool decrypts a pkg file and exports his decrypted header/metadata
