VSH is the internal name used by Sony for the VShell aka VirtualShell. It then loads up the XMB you know.XrossMediaBar (XMB). This, is a user space executable (vsh.self), loaded by lv2_kernel/sys_init_osd.
from here several other functions/syscalls to other modules are made, e.g. lv2 (SELF decryption), lv1 (Secure_RTC, Storage_Manager, Gelic_Device, BD_Drive) etc.
not much is documented (yet) about this module. Please fill in where possible.
Modes
possible arguments to pass when executing vsh.self:
- --mode=gametool
- --mode=gametool2
- --arcade=true

To help documenting offsets+exports, you can use this dumper tool for vsh (actually,no need to dump anymore).
Display Buffers
VSH uses 2 of 8 available display buffers. Information about them can be aquired by vsh plugins using this code snippet: [[1]]
In FW 4.46 DEX the buffer info looks like this (for 1920x1080):
GCMBUFINFO 0 offset: 0xdc80000 pitch: 0x2000 width: 0x780 height: 0x438 GCMBUFINFO 1 offset: 0xe500000 pitch: 0x2000 width: 0x780 height: 0x438
