ISO I'm trying to sign: Pilot Academy PSP
It works perfectly with fake_np, but sign_np has yet to cease kicking me to the livearea.
I've literally taken the EBOOT.BIN out of the ISO, decrypted it with PRXdecrypter on my PSP,
signed it with sign_np as a type 2 [sign_np -elf D:\enc\EBOOT.BIN SIGNED.BIN 2],
put it back into the ISO, tried to sign_np -pbp with correct CID and version, but still I get kicked to the livearea
What is OPNSSMP, is it a file in the ISO? Noob here, sorry :S
Oh, and I've used compression on fake_np and it works just fine.
Pilot academy was actually the first game I ever signed for PSP back in my OFW years :3

Everything looks fine. Try a different base game if yours doesnt work. I had to test 10 base games, 8 of these reported the same error as yours (kick back to *homescreen, no error code), but 2 worked: Cubixx & Tekken6.

Warning, cheap f*** question; can I just find the PKG of the game and use its EBOOT, or will the licensing not align properly?

For fake_np/sign_np? Yea, just grab the PKG, extract the EBOOT.PBP and you should get the same results as copying the EBOOT.PBP from your Vita to your PC.

You still need to download it from PSN / restore from a previous PC backup for a bubble to appear. Dropping a legit EBOOT.PBP into /PSP/GAME/.../ is not enough for a bubble to pop up.

Ah, well seems I'll be buying one of the games you described. Did you have to decrypt the official ISO's EBOOT.BIN and re-sign it with the 2 flag for each game?
And where do I get a PSP Filer ISO... I tried making one with NPDPC, didn't work so well.
I thought it was called the LiveArea O.o is that on the PS4? lol

[The Z]

Technically Live Area is the advertisement space around the "start button" of the games themselves.

Pretty much the screen after pressing the bubble but before starting it. A common misconception ^^

I was able to sign_np sign K-ON & Worms without touching the ISO. Their EBOOT.BIN was encrypted, I did not had to do this myself.

I'll try Worms with the same base as before; maybe it was a bad ISO to convert.
Also, every time I restore the database, my Bubble icon isn't changing, but if I open the PBP with Unpacker, it shows the new icon. What's going on here

[The Z]

You need to use a PBOOT.PBP to spoof the name/Icon of the bubble.

The PBOOT.PBP has to be put into the &folder, not into the folder of the signed eboot.

Ah, so THIS is the reason for renaming the folder with the ampersand! One more question? :3
Why don't we just overwrite the EBOOT.PBP in the original game folder, instead of renaming the folder and putting an ampersand after it...?
Oh and Worms just worked like a CHARM on sign_np using Petz Saddle Club Demo. I'm very confused. Maybe this only works with some games?
I'll try to sign_np Petz Saddle as base with Test Drive Unlimited as my ISO to sign.
Oh and you are the best help ever, Z <3

[The Z]

We cant just replace the original game, since the vita checks the hashes of the eboot.pbp and refuses to accept it if they dont match.

We use the &folder trick to fool the vita into thinking the game is legit (&folder eboot.pbp) while it then launches our signed game (non-&-folder eboot.pbp).
