---=============================--- ps2logo - PS2 Logo Decryptor Copyright (C) 2006, 2009 misfire ---================================---

Welcome to ps2logo! This program will decrypt a sector dump of the PS2 logo.

---============--- Version history ---===============---

v1.1 (Jul 26 2009)

  • Initial public release

v1.0 (2006)

  • Private build

---==========--- About ps2logo ---=============---

The first 12 sectors of every PS2 game disc contain the PS2 boot logo in a slightly encrypted form. You can use ps2logo to decrypt a sector dump, and then convert the raw image to JPEG or whatever.

For more information, I recommend reading doc/ps2boot.txt written by loser.

---==--- Build ---=====---

To build ps2logo, simply run: $ make

Of course, you can also install it: $ make install

CMake is supported too: $ mkdir build $ cd build/ $ cmake .. $ make $ make install

---==--- Usage ---=====---

usage: ps2logo

Decrypt encrypted logo in to .

---====-- Sample ---======---

This sample is for Linux users. On Windows, you can alternatively use Hex Workshop to dump the sectors and Paint Shop Pro to convert the image.

To extract the logo from a PS2 game disc, do the following:

Dump the first 12 sectors of the disc: $ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=logo.enc bs=2048 count=12

Decrypt the sector dump: $ ps2logo logo.enc logo.raw

Use ImageMagick to convert the raw image to JPEG: $ convert -depth 8 -size 344x71 gray:logo.raw logo.jpg

Note that the image width and height depend on the region: 344x71 for PAL and 384x64 for NTSC.

Open the file in a picture viewer and you should finally see the PS2 logo...
