Hi all,
I am looking for a completely direct programmatic end-to-end (no dialog boxes in between) way to install a .pkg file onto the ps3. What I can do so far:
1. Send a .pkg file to "/dev_hdd0/packages"
2. Unpack it, into "/game/<title>" every file is correct.
3. ?
I don't know how to make it appear on the XMB. I have tried many things. I know that:
1. /dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/xil2/reg.xml changes on a real install with a new timestamp.
2. /dev_hdd0/vsh/pushlist/game.dat suddenly has the title after a real install.
However, manually changing these files netted no result. I saw that other apps do a chmod(777) tried that, still nothing. Then I tried to see what the CFW install menu does, and found:
1. nas_plugin_module.sprx controls the install, but loads and unloads straight after.
2. I tried to trace its calls during an install, but could not locate the magic NID call. Thought I got close with a couple of paf::View::Find and paf::View::PageActivate NIDs but they did not work.
3. looked into other .sprxs, but could not locate what I was looking for.
As far as I know, webMANmod / ManaGunz / pkgi etc. go through a different mechanism, where they queue a download, and use the PSN background install mechanism (please correct me if I am wrong), but I don't want to use that. I am looking for for something much more direct. Just the registration part is enough.
Please if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Thanks.
