SCEtool v0.3.2 Now Skips 0 byte self files by zecoxao

By STLcardsWS

Developer zecoxao has made an unofficial update to SCEtool via his github page this update in the code will allow for the tool to Skip 0 byte self files. In previous versions of the tool it would cause issues when it was trying to decrypt these files, as there was nothing to decrypt. So the developer decided to try his coding skills to skip these and add checks on those files. View all the information below.

Basically scetool is a much better frontend than the fail0verflow tools, and i wanted to use it on pupexplode instead of the regular tools. but Sony left some 0 byte self/sprx on their PUP's (probably links to other selfs), so i got myself into wondering how i could bypass that issue, since scetool would segfault when trying to decrypt nothing. so i just decided to make _read_buffer return NULL when the size of the file would be 0 and when decrypting the file, if it was NULL, it'd just error out instead of trying to decrypt.

This is my own version. @deroad has another, but i figured i would make an attempt at coding myself.

here you can see the code:
