how are libraries under USRDIR\modules\ handled?

[grief3r]

i was thinking maybe they're some kind of dynamic link library, they don't seem to contain any executable code, so do they simply indicate the game imports the executable code from elsewhere or do they actually contain any meaningful data?

most of them have some kind of "sce header" that im not too familiar with, coincidentally, these were also named
libxxxxx.prx , and cannot be disassembled with prxtool

the only ones that i could disasm with prxtool where the ones that actually contained an ordinary .elf header, these obviously contain executable code.

the "~sce" header would be a compression header for that module.

The modules are basically like the DLLs of the main executable (EBOOT.BIN / BOOT.BIN).

do these contain stubs, or the actual code for the module?

Depending on the module, the full code (with or without symbols).

how would i go about decrypting this modules then? i cant seem to find any sources

You would have to decrypt the modules with PRXDecrypter

**** dude these libs seem to have tags unsupported by prxtool, what now?
