.NET library for generating, writing, and reading IRD files. Functionality is provided for deterministically generating IRDs such that a redump ISO and key have a 1-to-1 correspondence with an IRD file.

IRD files contain a summary of what data is on a PlayStation 3 disc. It can be used to rebuild ISOs from files (JB folders). IRD files are also useful for decrypting ISOs after they have been dumped on a PC blu-ray drive, such as for the purposes of legally emulating your PS3 games.

IRDKit is a tool that allows direct use of LibIRD functionality from a command line interface. The basic usage is:

• Printing info about an ISO:irdkit info game.iso
• Printing info about all ISOs and IRDs in a folder:irdkit info .
• Creating an IRD from an ISO:irdkit create game.iso
• Finding differences between two IRDs:irdkit diff game1.ird game2.ird
• Renaming an IRD or folder of IRDs using a redump DAT:irdkit rename -d redump.dat game.ird

LibIRD was originally made for creating reproducible, redump-style IRDs when dumping PS3 discs withMPF. If you wish to integrate LibIRD into your own application, read the exampleshere.
