PS3 Game Extractor

PS3 Game Extractor is a developer-focused CLI tool that parses PS3 game artifacts to enumerate assets and harvest metadata. It accepts a disc image or an extracted game directory, producing a metadata.json and an asset dump bundle for integration into asset pipelines. The system uses robust format detectors to identify the PS3 filesystem, PKG manifests when present, and common asset types (textures, models, audio, subtitles). It normalizes metadata into a consistent schema and exports binary assets alongside a manifest suitable for tooling chains. The tool is designed for preservationists cataloging large game libraries, researchers reverse-engineering content, and engineers building data-driven pipelines. Unique value lies in deterministic exports, plugin-ready parsers for new formats, and the ability to batch-process multiple titles with integrity checks. Key features include input validation, automatic format detection, asset indexing, and memory-conscious streaming for large datasets. Use cases span archival projects, metadata-driven cataloging, and automated asset extraction for build or QA pipelines. Outputs include a metadata.json with enriched fields and a structured assets/ folder that mirrors discovered assets with digests for integrity verification. The approach emphasizes data quality, traceability, and reproducibility across titles and regions.
