Once I crack this nut I will go back and see if I can feed these tools a different vita eboot.bin and see if they recognize them but I did get them from PS4 threads so you’re probably right.
Hmmmmmm. Looks like it might be a regular elf file…
Think I can just rename it and use it as my .elf input for debugging with the python script?

First I grabbed the release of PSVita-RE-tools. Inside it is a (virus free) executable called vita-unmake-fself.exe
$ ./vita-unmake-fself.exe eboot.bin # <-- this is the eboot.bin that comes with the ProCamera Vita app (see above)
Using original elf header
2nd elf header
$ ls
eboot.bin eboot.bin.elf vita-unmake-fself.exe
$ file eboot.bin.elf # <-- could it be?
eboot.bin.elf: ELF 32-bit LSB ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV) # <--- HOLY SHIT!!!!! It is!!!! It's an unencrypted .elf!!!
Moved my eboot.bin.elf to eboot.elf under the vita-parse-core directory and...
It worked! It really really worked!
My core dump is in the spoiler below! I don't know if I'm ludicrous or ecstatic!
The bottom line is that there's a conflict between Pro Camera Vita and vitacheat.
I removed the vitacheat plugin and the Pro Camera works! Woo hoo!

thanks for that link. I know that stuff on the ps3, vita, and probably ps4 are compressed using zlib, which I think is 78 DA or something like that in hex, so you can use simply zip to decompress them. I've done this with vita shell (this will not decrypt them though).

it most likely decompresses them when decryption is done. that's what it does on the ps3 anyway. btw, love that two-panel comic thing you've got there.
