.SH Usage
.PP
If you have zRIF fake license, then execute:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip package.pkg zRIF\_STRING

.fi
.RE

.PP
This will create \fB\fCtitle [id] [region].zip\fR file. Title, ID and region is automatically detected from pkg file. It will include work.bin file.

.PP
If you don't have zRIF fake license, but just want to unpack files, then omit last argument:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip package.pkg

.fi
.RE

.PP
Resulting zip file will not include work.bin. This is useful for patch pkg files.

.PP
To get output file name of the zip, use \fB\fC\-l\fR (must come before pkg file and cannot be used with \fB\fC\-x\fR):

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-l package.pkg

.fi
.RE

.PP
To avoid zipping process and create individual files, use \fB\fC\-x\fR argument (must come before pkg file):

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-x package.pkg [zRIF\_STRING]

.fi
.RE

.PP
To disable bgdl output for VITA Theme extraction, use the '\-b' argument.

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-b \-x package.pkg zRIF\_STRING

.fi
.RE

.PP
PSX or PSP pkg files do not require zRIF argument. It will be ignored.

.PP
For PSP files pkg2zip by default will create a .ISO file. To create a compressed .CSO file pass \-cN argument where N is compression factor. For example, for fastest compression use:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-c1 package.pkg

.fi
.RE

.PP
To create smaller cso file (more compression will require more time) use \-c9, or anything inbetween:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-c9 package.pkg

.fi
.RE

.PP
You can combine \-cN argument together with \-x:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-x \-c9 package.pkg

.fi
.RE

.PP
To extract PSP files in their original EBOOT.PBP format use the '\-p' argument:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pkg2zip \-p package.pkg

.fi
.RE

.PP
Note: On PSP hardware titles with DLC should be kept in ISO/CSO format due to limitations on the CFW NoDRM Engine.

.SH Generating zRIF string
.PP
If you have working NoNpDrm license file (work.bin or 6488b73b912a753a492e2714e9b38bc7.rif) you can create zRIF string with \fB\fCrif2zrif.py\fR python script:

.PP
.RS

.nf
$ python rif2zrif.py path/to/work.bin

.fi
.RE

.PP
It will print zRIF string to stdout.

.PP
To generate work.bin from zRIF string use \fB\fCzrif2rif.py\fR script:

.PP
.RS

.nf
$ python zrif2rif.py zRIF work.bin

.fi
.RE

.PP
Last argument is optional, it specifies where to save file and defaults to work.bin name.
