PyNPS is a Nopaystation client writen in python 3.7 that, with the help of wget and pkg2zip, can search, download and decrypt/extract PSVita, PSP, PSX and PSM games from Nopaystation database. It's basically a command line version of NPSBrowser writen by a moron (aka me).
There are tree methods you can install pyNPS:
This is only for 64bits systems.
You can grab the latest x86_64 binary file at releases. The binary is made with pyinstaller, so there's no need to deal with python dependencies, just download it and use it (ofc you'll still need pkg2zip and wget installed or inside /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/lib
If you want to just use it by typing "pynps" in your terminal, you'll have to copy your binary to /usr/bin/
Here's a full guide:
-
download the latest release here, last time time this readme was updated it was 1.1.0, so you'll need to download the file named
pynps-1.4.1-1.x86_64.linux; -
enter your terminal and cd to were you downloaded the file, usually it's:
$ cd ~/Download
-
move the downloaded file to the /usr/bin folder by runing (don't forget to change the version if you're installing a newer release):
$ sudo mv pynps-1.4.1-1.x86_64.linux /usr/bin/pynps
-
make sure the moved file is marked as executable:
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/pynps
-
test the newly installed binary, pynps should output the version:
$ pynps --version
If everything was done correctly, pynps should print the version in your terminal. After this proceed to the pkg2zip section, you'll also need to install that.
This is for both 32 and 64bits systems. All you need is python 3.7 or newer alongside PIP:
pip install pynps
This script uses lusid1's pkg2zip, as recomended by NoPayStation, to handle the .pkg extractions, you have 3 options:
-
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
-
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
-
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.
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.
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:
$ pynps -u
updates only vita's db
$ pynps -c psv -u
Or:
$ pynps -uc psv
You can do the same for psp, psx and psm.
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 is located by default at /home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/database/pynps.db
Configuration file is created at /home/$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 :<
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
