LibCrypt Patcher

This patcher is capable of detecting and patching 237 different PSX game discs containing LibCrypt protection. After using this patcher on a supported LibCrypt protected PSX disc image you can then:

If you know of a game/revision this patcher does not yet support, can supply a better patch for a game, found an issue with an existing patch, or improve something else, please open a Github issue.

My goal is to kill this protection once and for all. This patcher aims to support every regional release, revision, prototype, and beta disc image containing LibCrypt!

Usage

Windows

The easiest way to use this on Windows is to simply drag the first/only data track bin file of the LibCrypt protected CD image onto the lcp.exe executable file.

Alternatively you may run cmd.exe or command.com and run lcp.exe with the first/only data track bin file as the sole argument.

lcp win dino crisis

lcp win parasite eve 2

Linux

For use on Linux, you have a variety of options:

1) Install the .deb package and execute it as a standard command (lcp), with the first/only data track bin file as the sole argument. 2) Unzip the portable .zip and execute the lcp command within the release, with the first/only data track bin file as the sole argument. 3) Drag the first/only data track bin file of the LibCrypt protected CD image onto the lcp executable file (only supported by some Linux window managers).

DuckStation Specific Instructions

Duckstation needs some configuration before the patched disc image will work:

1) In Settings->Advanced->Tweaks/Hacks scroll down and check Allow booting without SBI File.

duckstation allow booting without sbi file

2) (For Formula One 99 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,It) (prototype 8/12/1999) only!!) - In Settings->Console->CPU Mode assign Execution Mode to Interpreter (Slowest). This is needed to a work around a bug in DuckStation specific to only Formula One 99 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,It) (prototype 8/12/1999) and is not neccesary for any other disc image.

Credits

Icarus/Paradox

Massive thanks to Icarus/Paradox for releasing the PPF source under open terms:

***************************

ApplyPPF3.c (Linux Version)

written by Icarus/Paradox

Big Endian support by Hu Kares.

Applies PPF1.0, PPF2.0 & PPF3.0 Patches (including PPF3.0 Undo support)

Feel free to use this source in and for your own programms.

***************************

I was able to change applyppf3_linux.c (I have included the full PPF Paradox distribution in the source code for reference, see the pdx-ppf3 directory) into a small C library (filename is libppf.c) that I could call into from a function, applying internally contained const unsigned char arrays based on boot file/version detection hence making this whole thing possible once I assembled all of the PPF patches.

### Agrippa

They released proper Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v1.0.1), Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v1.1), and Sydney 2000 (Europe) LibCrypt patches as well as some interesting info on patching LibCrypt.

Snowbro88

Posted about an archive of LibCrypt patches, making this very easy to put together once all documented and configured.

Everyone Else Who Did The Original Patches

Thanks to your work, I was able to put all of this together! I hope to better document the patch credits in a future update.
