Support for "Remaster" Releases? #3

Open SuburbanVampire opened 2 years ago

SuburbanVampire commented 2 years ago

There are some newer Blu-ray disc release titles which have been "remastered' in internal Sony nomenclature. As best I can tell, this is a PKG file with some special additional properties in param.sfo, which cause issues during processing. One line is literally just the string REMASTER_TYPE, which designates this PKG as Sub Category Remaster, I think? The other is a value pair named TARGET_APP_VER.

orbis-pub-gen errors out when attempting to build a fake PKG from a dump containing one of these param.sfo files.

Known example of this is No Man's Sky (CUSA04841). The US re-release version bearing the logo title "No Man's Sky Beyond" contains version 2.00 of the game, and if updated to version 3.75, it too will contain the extra param.sfo properties.

Remaster works fine but you need to know how to do it and needs to be done manually. Still i strongly advise not to because you cant build any patch on top of it if you build it as remaster

With the PS4 being this far into its lifecycle, we are bound to see more releases of this type, so I don't expect this issue to just go away.

What about an option to remove remaster tags if they are encountered?

Unless I am misunderstanding, that would take remaster input and output a regular fake PKG, which is what the user would do themselves anyways.
