Is there a list somewhere of which NIDs are known to do what? I don't mean SilverSpring's list of NIDs that just says what module they're in and, if known, their actual name. I mean an actual list descriptions (no matter how simple), because it seems like a lot more is known than I can find. The closest thing seems to be the PSP SDK docs, which doesn't document the internals, such as the VSH modules.

The reason I ask this is because I have something to contribute, even if small. This contribution is simply which NID loads PTFs--it is 0x4B420C67 (in 5.00--it's different in at least some of the earlier firmwares) in the library vsh, which is in the module vsh_module, located in the VSH module vshmain.prx. I went to look for this earlier because I wanted to dissect the PTF loader, but I had to take my time to actually find the function.

(I apologize if there is already a topic on this--I did do a search beforehand, but didn't know exactly what terms I should use, and wound up with an overly long list of topics, which skimming yielded no pertinent results)

For the VSH/PAF NIDs, moonlight would probably know them the best and in detail, considering he rewrote a huge part of it for VLF. But he hasn't been online in ages; I've been wanting to ask him about something.

I doubt anyone's bothered to keep track of the already unknown functionality/name NIDs that are now randomized.

Well, it's 0x38B2FD87 in both 3.95 and 4.05, so it's not different in every firmware (I would assume that NIDs were changed at some point between these two).

But yeah, this is a good point.
