SELF files are a wrapper around encrypted ELF files. The encrypted header contains keys to decrypt each encrypted ELF program, which are decrypted and loaded individually. Because of this, a copy of the ELF headers and ELF program headers are stored in plain text next to the SCE header.

Authority ID

8 Bytes long. Located at offset 0x80 in SELF header.

sceAppMgrConvertVs0UserDrivePath checks the AuthId to limit mount points.

0x2800000000008000 only used by SceWebCore eboot.bin (NPXS10017 / NPXS10037 on 1.69-3.01, replaced later by SceWebKit).

0x2800000000008003 seen used by SceWebCore can access vs0:data/external/cert/ and vs0:data/external/webcore/.

0x210000101CD20007 seen used by PSM can access vs0:data/external and vs0:sys/external.

Relocations

Relocations are stored within the PT_SCE_RELA segment.

Relocation entry format can be one of 10 types which is determined by the first 4 bits.

Format 0

28 31 Distance from offset (used for second relocation)
32 63 Addend
64 95 Offset

Format 1

Start End Description
0 3 Entry format type set to 1
4 7 Symbol segment index
