: Written in cross-platform C with no external dependencies; it uses AESNI hardware acceleration for extremely fast decryption if supported by your CPU.
: This creates a zRIF license file, which is often used in conjunction with NoNpDrm, ensuring the game works.
Save this script as a .bat file, and place it in the same folder as pkg2zip.exe after renaming it to !pkg2zip.exe (this avoids conflicts with the original). Pkg2zip.exe

Others were messy, human-flavored, full of half-remembered ambitions and hopeful comments. Pkg2zip.exe treated them all the same: with a tidy order and a little human consideration encoded into metadata.
: Optionally generates a fake license file ( work.bin or .rif ) from a provided zRIF string , allowing games to run on hacked Vitas without an official license.
: A compressed version of the game’s license key (NoNpDrm license). Without this key, the tool cannot decrypt the contents.
At its core, the tool functions by decrypting the encrypted payload of a .pkg file, reversing Sony's proprietary protection scheme. It combines decryption, extraction, and compression into one efficient process: : Written in cross-platform C with no external
