pyNPS - A cli Linux and Windows Nopaystation client made with python 3 and wget

PyNPS is a Nopaystation client writen in python 3 that, with the help of wget and pkg2zip, can search, download and decrypt/extract PSVita, PSP, PSX, PSM and PS3 games from Nopaystation database. It's basically a command line version of NPSBrowser writen by a moron (aka me).

This project wouldn't be possible without the help of these folks

  • Nopaystation: for making our beloved database this software hooks on
  • mmozeiko: for making the original pkg2zip
  • lusid1: for forking pkg2zip and making theme extraction great again
  • BertrandHustle: for coding a python solution to detect names on PSX's EBOOT that's used in this software
  • Contributors: for helping with pull requests.

Table of Contents


Installation

There are tree methods you can install pyNPS:

Using PIP

This is for both 32 and 64bits systems. All you need is python 3.7 or newer alongside PIP:

pip install pynps

Make sure to also install pkg2zip and wget (this should already be installed in most Linux distros tho).


pkg2zip

This script uses lusid1's pkg2zip, as recomended by NoPayStation, to handle the .pkg extractions, you have 3 options:

  1. Use pre-compied binary, compiled by myelf (version 2.2) here, just drop it inside /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib/ and make it executable by runing:

    chmod -R +x /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib/pkg2zip

  2. If you're an Arch user, you can compile it from AUR after you install it pyNPS will autodetect and use it automatically, no need to add the path to your config file, the yay command is:

    $ yay -S pkg2zip-fork

  3. Or you can just grab the sources from lusid1's repo and compile it yourself here and move the binary into this folder /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib/.

For methods 1 and 3 pyNPS will autodetect and use it automatically, so there's no need to add the path to your config file

In case you decide to store your binary outside /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib/ you'll need to specify this folder in your config file unde the "pkg2zip_location" option.


wget

This software uses wget to make the downloads therefore it won't work if you don't have it installed in your system, most distros already come with wget installed, if you don't have it chances are you're on some crazy non-userfriendly distro and you probably know your way around for installing it. If you don't just google.

You can drop a wget binary at /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib/ after that pyNPS will autodetect and use it automatically, no need to add the path to your config file.

In case you decide to store your binary outside /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib/ you'll need to specify this folder in your config file unde the "wget_location" option.


Windows

TL;DR: install with the windows installer (available at releases page) as administrator (aka select "install for every user in this PC" when you run the installer), open CMD and start using by typing pynps. More info about download directories and config files can be found in these notes

The Windows installer comes bundled with wget and pkg2zip and when installed as administrator it'll also include itself on PATH (if not the user will need to add it manually). There's also a portable binary and Windows can also install it with pip. More infor is found in these notes.

People on Windows that don't actually care about command line stuff can also try NPSBrowser.


Updating database

Before downloading any of your legally obtained (wink wink wink) pkg file you have to update your NPS database, you don't have to do it every time you want to download something, but only in your first run to construct your initial database and after that just once in a while to get info about new pkgs NPS adds to their database:

Updating all databases

$ pynps -u

Updating database per console

updates only vita's db

$ pynps -c psv -u

Or:

$ pynps -uc psv

You can do the same for psp, psx and psm.

Updating database, even more fragmented

Updates only games and themes database for psp and psx (note: since there's no themes database for psx, only the games db will be updated for this system):

$ pynps -c psp -u -GT

Or:

$ pynps -GTuc psp

Updates only games database for every system:

$ pynps -u -G

Or:

$ pynps -Gu

Database file

Database is located by default at /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/database/pynps.db


Configuration file

Configuration file is created at /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/settings.ini

If you delete it, it'll be recreated with default parameters in the next run. The options are pretty much self explanatory.

Wanna return every single american DLC for the psvita? Sure, it's slow but (not slow anymore on versions 1.2.0 or newer) it's a free country:

$ pynps -c psv -r usa -D _all

that's too big to output here, mate :<

You can even return the entire database if you're crazy enough:

$ pynps _all

that's too big to output here, mate :<

Syntax for selecting files to download

After you make your search you'll probably want to download something, if it's a single file that's pretty easy, just type the number when asked and it'll start the download for you. If you wanna multiple downloads, you can always separate the numbers by commas. But there's an even more advance (and cool) way for downloading things, and that's using "slices", here's how to do it with some examples:

$ pynps -c psv -TE touhou

1  ) PSV | PCSE00947 | US   | THEMES  | Touhou Genso Rondo Theme | 6.723 MiB
2  ) PSV | PCSE00990 | US   | THEMES  | Touhou Genso Wanderer PlayStation Vita Theme | 4.514 MiB

5  ) PSV | PCSB01129 | EU   | THEMES  | Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle Theme 4 | 4.038 MiB

10 ) PSV | PCSG90252 | JP   | DEMOS   | Touhou Soujinengi V (DEMO) | 335.6 MiB
Enter the number for what you want to download, you can enter multiple numbers using commas:
  • To download files 1 to 9, the masochist method, you type: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
  • To download files 1 to 9, the cool-kid method, you type: 1-9
  • To download files 1 to 5 and files 8 to 10: 1-5,8-10
  • To download files 1, 4 and files 6 to 10: 1,4,6-10
  • To download files 1, 4 and files 6 to 10, the crazy way, as the software doesn't care about order or duplicates: 10-6,1,4,6
