AIM Manager (App(liance?) Info Manager) is a Process socket service supported by the hypervisor (lv1).

It is used to retrieve the device type, device id, open psid and the pscode from the EID0 data that is passed in.
Responsible is the isolated SPU module aim_spu_module.self from CoreOS / Flash.
This service accessable from GameOS via Syscall: 867 (0x363) and requires 0x40 Root Control Flags in SCE Header.

0x19000 - AIM

Packet ID Description
0x19002 Get Device Type
0x19003 Get Device ID
0x19004 Get PS Code
0x19005 Get Open PS ID
0x19006 Unknown

0x19002 - Get Device Type

Code Sample






calling from GameOS: int cellSsAimGetDeviceType(out:uint8[0x10])

0x19003 - Get Device ID

  • returns your consoles IDPS

Code Sample






calling from GameOS: int cellSsAimGetDeviceId(out:uint8[0x10])

0x19004 - Get PS Code

on my CECHJ04 it returns:

Code Sample






calling from GameOS: int cellSsAimGetPsCode(out:uint8[8])

0x19005 - Get Open PS ID

Code Sample






calling from GameOS: int cellSsAimGetOpenPsId(out:uint8[0x10])

0x19006 -

  • usage found in bdp_BDVD for example...with 1 param (=0)
  • seems to be handled by lv2_kernel, not aim itself.
looks up for qa-flag (if flagged, sets token seed to an lv2 internal buffer), fself flag & device_id
calling from GameOS: int syscall(867,0x19006)
note: this packet id doesnt need another parameter
