• Backup Managers, PS3 Hacks , 18.01.2011

    Code:
    ********************
    
    * multiMAN updated version to support special case of [R3] shadow copy
    * ebootFIX PC application
    
    There is a readme for ebootFIX application.
    
    ****
    
    Steps:
    ========================================================================================
    !) Delete all GAME DATA you may have on you PS3 system for "Need for Speedâ„¢ SHIFT" game!
    
    1) Open multiMAN in file manager mode on your PS3 system
    2) Browse to your game (on internal HDD) and press [R3] while PS3_GAME folder is selected
    
    3) This operation will create SHADOW copy of "Need for Speedâ„¢ SHIFT" to:
           --> /dev_hdd0/G/E00682
       and --> /dev_hdd0/game/BLES00682
    
    4) Exit multiMAN
    
    5) Copy the generated PKG file to the root folder of USB stick or USB HDD:
       --> for firmwares 01.90-03.41: [PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.pkg]
       --> for firmwares 03.55-     : [PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF-FW_355.pkg]
    
    6) Install the PKG file from [* Install package file] menu on your PS3
    7) Launch the game directly from "Need for Speedâ„¢ SHIFT (HDD)" icon on the [GAME] column in XMB
    ========================================================================================
    *) DISCLAIMER: Use this application ONLY with legally owned content!


    Seems like nothing will stop deank from giving his fans what they want, he managed to figure out a way to load backups from multiman. Rather brilliantly as well, altho this really does nothing more then simplify the xmb method its nice to see support being shown.

      Grear job from DeanK, did read it yesterday evening on psx scene but there is still no external HD support and Eboot.bins still get modified so it might be the best file manager still no reason for me to upgrade to 3.55. So the waiting for Gaja or Open Manager for 3.55 Peek/Poke continues

      No, it looks as if he has just masked Multiman to look like you are running Need for Speed Shift. It would make sense to use a game with a decent hard drive install to ghost Multiman. This way it looks like the game is doing exactly what it's supposed too, as NFS:S was an installer based game, accessing the HDD would not look too shady.

      You forgot to add the steps for the ebootfix.exe, which is what you need:

      Step 1: Drag & Drop a GAME folder to ebootFIX.exe (I'd suggest to drag&drop PS3_GAME folder)
      Step 2: If everthing goes well you'll get two PKG files + instructions TXT:

      For example:

      1) Drag&drop: F:\GAMES\BLES00682-NFS_Shift\PS3_GAME
      2) You get 3 files in multiMAN_eboot_pkg folder:

      * PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.pkg
      * PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF_355.pkg
      * PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.txt

      I have Waninkoko's CFW on my PS3 Slim [CECH-2103B] and use this version of multiMAN.

      Games I have found to work:

      Need for Speed: Shift
      LittleBigPlanet
      Blur
      Killzone 2
      Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
      Games I have found NOT to work:
      F1 2010 (The game data is corrupted. The game will close. You must delete the data to play this game.)
      BioShock 2 (Instantly returns back to XMB)
      Assassin's Creed (There's a problem with the disc you're using. It may be dirty or damaged.)
      Games I have yet to try:
      Assassin's Creed 2
      ModNation Racer
      EyePet Move Edition
      Fallout 3
      Unreal Tournament 3
      Devil May Cry 4
      MotorStorm Pacific Rift
      Also, 3.55 PKG's do not seem to work with this CFW, only 3.41, I still need to mess about a bit more first.

      One other observation: I do see my PS3 lock-up (needing the power lead pulled) when resuming back to XMB, but this is hit & miss.

      Hope this helps anyone..

      I think we should stick to using the other devs modified eboot pkgs on geohots 3.55 once you get the folder structure correct you can pretty much work any game & as for updates you simply replace the patched games eboot with your modified eboot you used to initially run the backup.

      This is just direct boot modified to work from xmb as it uses no system calls.

      True managers are still not ready yet, this just simplifies the process of editing eboots etc.

      Indeed, this release doesn't have anything peek&poke inside
      Dean in another foroum stated that he won't update multiman until a propper cfw (no briking) released...

      Great Job! I previously had the Castlevania in my HDD and everytime i would start the game once and quit, the xmb game pkg gave me a unknown source error,.... but know with this awesome update i no longer need to re-install the pkg to keep playing the game ... thumbs up.
      BTW-i have the wutangPATCH with geohot jailbreak.

      Hence Geo's CFW is sufficient to use this without the Wutangrza exploit I am guessing right?

      Modify this file, modify that file, patch these files blah, blah, blah.....

      What it all means is THEY CANT DO IT, they cant with the current CFW's give us a simple click and go B/M, the PS3 stands firm :aetsch: ....(excluding Waninkoko's multi bricking effort)...

      By the time they sus it the CFW thing will be over with, $ony will issue an update very shortly that removes the abillity to run these hacks....

      hukfed - I dont think it will be as simple as releasing an update. The entire encryption system has failed. Sony can probably block/ban these consoles, but to re-secure the system might be impossible. Consider this, Sony must now secure the system while still allowing legacy software to run. Since the keys are now known there is no way for the ps3 to know if the software was signed by a legitimate ps3 dev or not. To fix this Sony would need to change the keys, and fix the hole which allowed geohot to obtain the keys in the first place (they would probably need to redesign the entire security system). If they did that then none of the games previously released would work. If they added legacy support for those games then you could still run unofficial software, by signing it with these keys.

      everyone else - If you look at how long the ps3 has been locked up tight, you will realize a few more days wont kill ya. Things are moving very rapidly on the ps3 front, remember these guys are not getting paid to provide you people with free games. Show some respect! If it were easy you could just release your own cfw and backup manager. As a dev I understand how challenging it is to program complex systems, the difficulty increases exponentially when you add encryption. Its one thing to design software when you have a nice API and support, but in the beginning these guys had nothing more than limited access via other os.

      http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php...#axzz1BP4Xv7Oo

      ive done this with a few games but the basic thing is if your game gives you a error of some sort you have to modify the PARAM.SFO as i did for blackops to say its gamedata not a HG or DG and then just follow the tutorial

      I hope that people use this only to play backup copies of the games they already own. I certainly hope people do not try to use this for piracy (downloading and playing of games you don't own). I do not want this to kill the PS3 like piracy pretty mush has done for the PSP. Anyway this is good news as long as people only use it to play backups and not use it for piracy.

      So basically this doesn't do anything new? Makes the ps3 think that it's psn game, so it runs from xmb. So i guess that the compability hasn't improved compared to manually modifying eboot to run from hdd.

      I will stick with 4.31 which can play most games until all of this patch this and patch that is sorted out. I just wanna play not jump through hoops. Fine job by the devs though. Keep up the great work.

      Copy the generated PKG file to the root folder of USB stick or USB HDD: --> for firmwares 01.90-03.41: [PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.pkg] --> for firmwares 03.55- : [PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF-FW_355.pkg] 6) Install the PKG file from [* Install package file] menu on your PS3


      Lost me right here because i'm not seeing a magically generated pkg file anywhere.

      in the multiman folder there should be a program called ebootFIX you have to drag the PS3_GAME folder from your disk to that program and it will make the pkg u need

      Alright now this is really starting to annoy me, it's not anyone's fault a bunch of idiotic noobs blindly went out and uploaded firmware to their console without reading anything, and not knowing the obvious risks that come with hacking your console, and then come back and whine like little girls that they bricked them.

      For most of the consoles, Wanin's cfw works fine. The only reason you believe it's bad to patch lv2 in the first place is because of what Geohot said and ironically that information came from the same person you guys so openly bash at every given chance.

      If you don't like the firmware that's fine, but just shut the **** up about it already, the lot of you.

      Thanks for the update dean.

      Can someone help?

      This is from another forum that i posted in...

      Well every PS3 game has the PS3_Game folder so i am guessing that Shift was used as an example. I am copying my backup of Resident Evil 5 - Gold Edition to a new folder in HDD0 (you have the Game folder, i've created the GAMES folder) and I am wacking the BLES 00816 to that folder, I will then test by opening the PS3_Game folder of RE5 GE using MultiMan.

      EDIT::::::

      Update - I copied that BLES 00816 into the GAMES folder... and it appeared on the front page of Multiman alongside the game disc of GT5 woohoo! Will test it now.

      EDIT 2::::

      Game doesnt load from the front menu using the two options regarding the XMB menu. Gonna try the R3 PS3_Game tip

      EDIT 3::::

      The shadow copy works, its created the two new folders... however i cannot find the generated .PKG files... goes on a hunt..

      EDIT 4::::

      On the PC i used multiMAN_eboot_pkg which came with the MultiMan file from the download.

      I dragged the folder BLES 00816 onto ebootFIX.exe and it created a .PKG file for me.

      I installed the .PKG on the PS3 then run the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition package and it pops up with

      "In order to play RESIDENT EVIL 5 GOLD EDITION, game data must be installed to your PlayStation 3 system's hard disk drive.
      Start Installation Now?"

      And no matter if i click Yes or No it goes back to that same screen "In order to play blah blah blah..."

      I was watching the CMD window when it created the package using ebootFIX and it edited the PARAM.sfo to point the game installed path to "/dev_hdd0/G/E00682"

      So i cant understand why its not working

      EDIT 5::::

      I've tried Red Dead Redemption with the same method as above... it does not work too.

      i get this when accessing the game from the XMB menu---

      "There is not enough free space on the hard disk. The game was forced to quit. At least 516 MB more free space is needed"

      Well i've got over 150gb free space....

      HELLLPPP i think im doing this all wrong

      What is the difference between GEOHOT FIRMWARE and booting from XMB

      and

      Wutangrza CFW with backup manager?

      Is there better compatibility or anything? Because otherwise I really don't see the point of all this. Could someone please explain this to me?

      Wait a Minute...

      Blackops works great from Multiman... I have the BLES01032 EU Version and it works perfect from the manager, all you have to do is use the original Eboot/Param.SFO´s.

      This NFS Shift Tutorial worked excelent for me, I have the exact same version of the tutorial and i managed to get it work with no problem!.

      PS: Blackops works form external HDD :D.

      EDIT 7::::

      Sims 3 dont work. It comes up with this error

      "The game data is corrupted. The game will close. You must delete the game data to play this game"

      So it seems that the tutorial to get the backups working is false, the CFW is a false for backups, or I am doing something wrong.


      I cannot get any of these games to work.

      What I did

      Opened the unziped tool folder then using drag/drop BLES00776 folder on my PC to the Ebootfix.exe it made the pkg files required.

      Used multiman's built in ftp server and transfered my BLES00776 folder to my normal dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/ through WinSCP (ftp program on my pc) then in multiman after transfer was complete.

      I pressed select + start using the filemanger went to the directory of BLES00776 highlighted the PS3_Game folder and clicked R3 it did its thing.

      Went back to the XMB using the previously made pkg from the EbootFix.exe for my 3.41 fw. Installed the pkg and started the game. Been playing for a while now.

      Hope this helps

      Whenever I shadow copy (tested on 3 games) it asks if u wanna do it, i click yes. Then when it does the process u know with the bars, it starts at 0% then jumps to copying 141 files (etc) then goes back to the progress and immediately finishes.

      Do any of you actually see progress? Like copying 30% - 42% - 60% - 89% - 100% cos it seems to be copying files EXTRA quick.

      When i check the new folders, its all there... correct sizes n all.

      Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. It doesn't actually copy the files, just creates symbolic links to them which has the same effect as copying them but it doesn't waste HDD space.

First time I tried, i was hearing the sound of the game in the xmb. Now I see it in the xmb still, but no sound and still doesn't run. Imma wait till something else pops up.

      Did you:

      1. Drag the ENTIRE BLUS(w/e) folder to the eboot fix?(not just the ps3 game one)
      2. Then transfer the ENTIRE folder to your /game/ folder
      3. Made a shadow copy in multiman on that same folder
      4. Proceeded to install the pkg

      In that order?

      Geohot's firmware is not meant for backups, just homebrew.

      Wutangrza's firmware is used for backups and homebrew as it enables Peek and Poke (too technical for me to explain lol)

      And if you save your savegame on a USB device or whatever (I did this before), delete it from the PS3, install the game with PKG and the put the savegame back? Would it work?

      Hey you guys, all this stress, just hold on to what you got for now, for me i struggled a bit with the FBANext to get this installed and running with roms.
      Problems i had were the right neogeo.zip bios, putting roms in the right directory and using usb not on the 1 port but the 2nd port.

      SO YOU GUYS, WAIT FOR THE BACKUP LAUCHER AND ENJOY THE RETRO INSTALLMENT FROM GEOHOT.

      Play the oldies, snes, nes, genesis and other ye' good old games.

      peace

      Thanx for this!

      I got all of my games to work from the xmb (on 3.41), except for black ops and gt5. When i boot those from the xmb i just get a black screen. When i use multimanager to boot them they run fine. Does anyone have a suggestion how to get those 2 games running from xmb?

      hey guys! This is my first post so hope someone can help!!

      Can i install mulitman on Wutangrza CFW or do I

      Install Geohot CFW then multimann, flash back to offical firmware and install Wutangrza CFW?!?!

      I currently dont have a PS3 but I am def getting one at the end of the month.

      I have read about the problems different firmwares are having on Phat and Slim models, which do you advise I go for??

      Also how does the Saturn emulator work on it? It was quite poor on the wii, im hoping with the extra processing power of the PS3 it will run almost perfectly!

      Thanks guys!

      So i just Installed NFS Hot Pursuit and it works. So some games work and some games dont. This is exactly like Geohot's CFW. Same thing with the custom eboots and MultiMan's backup manager.

      So i guess we're gonna have to wait...

      But it gets you thinking... something would have already been functional by now... POSSIBLY if Waninkoko's cfw didnt brick...

      Used geohot 3.55jb and installed newest multiman. But when trying to back up super street fighter 4 it listed the game as 14gb.
      And then hung up on 99%. Had to shut off. Also tried bionic commando and also hung at 99%. Any ideas why?

      Waninkoko's CFW will only brick your console if it has a 256MB nand, if it doesn't it's plain smooth sailing...

      Anyone who has a Slim PS3 like me I advise you to update to Waninkoko's 3.55 CFW.

      All my game dumps from 3.41 working perfect, all updated, all playable online on PSN! :D

      Im gonna explain somethings that many of you are asking...

      This is for 3.55. If you are on 3.5 or below...dont need to read the rest...

      You will need geohot jailbreak first to install multiman. After you installed, you will have to go to recovery mode (just for safety...i saw some poeple who updated safely...and some others not so much..) and update with the Waninkoko's PUP. To go to recovery mode, just press the power button (and dont let go) until PS3 turns off. Do it again, but now, let go when you hear 2 quick beeps (and then the recovery mode will start). Insert your usb drive, go to update system and wait until several installs are made (When its over, it will start normaly with no need to get out of recovery mode by yourself).

      After PS3 updates, you can now go to multiman and do some backups

      There are some notes to pay attention:

      -there are no longer the folder GAMEZ. Now its GAMES. (thats why many games dont work after you update to 3.55 from 3.41).

      -Yes, the games can update normaly...

      -Some of the older games dont run...but all of the new ones and most of the old ones do just fine

      -Multiman runs games on external HD or flash drive, but thats not a good idea...because the velocity its to slow and the game could stop. You can backup any game thats on your flash drive or external HD (remember that it must be formated in FAT32). If the game its bigger than 4.5GB, use a program "TeraCopy" to paste it from your PC to your external HD or flash drive (this way you can avoid the long hours on the FTP). And Remember the games must be in a specific folder "PS3/GAMES/" (otherwise, multiman will not reconise them).

      -When you want to start a game, press X to load (on multiman) and then say NO to exit XMB. After you automaticly get out of multiman, you have to go up until you find a "app_home/PS3_GAME", and then press X...and there you go

      -Many FATs are breaking...i think that exist a list with the compatible models. If you have a FAT, i recomend you to look for it.

      BTW, i have a Slim 320GB

      Just press O whence backup process starts it will remove the time remaining screen and go back to the DOS looking screen. Once it finishes it will then not stall but ones that have previously stalled at 99% will still work. The game has copied it is just the GUI reporting wrong so don't think you need re copy them games

      It works!!!
      im running games off my external that i used for my jailbreak 3.41 on my 3.55 wuntangs/flukes1 cfw with geohot patch, Just install the .pkg, that will install a pslight app that you have to run every time you boot, when you run it you get a white screen that says "success, now load your backup manager" you press x to exit and run your back up manager as you would under 3.41 jailbreak mode.

      **** man, mine went smooth, CECHG03 40GB...OFW3.55>WUNTANG>GEO>LV2.PKG.

      When i first installed pkg, went to run pslight ap which i don't think i should've done, got black sreen, system hangs, so i held power button to force shutdown, then restarted ran pslight app second time and it ran sweet.

      Sorry, just a quick note on my explication earlier:

      "And Remember the games must be in a specific folder "PS3/GAMES/" (otherwise, multiman will not reconise them)."

      It doesnt need the folder "PS3/". You can just have one folder "GAMES/". Paste them all in and multiman will read them this way.

      Edit: Nvm I got a hold of it.

      However, it doesn't seem to work. I did OFW -> GEO -> OFW -> WUTANG -> GEO -> LV2.pkg and I get to the white screen no problem but the game itself still doesn't load. I did the backup straight from my disc. The screen is black and every once in a while the HDD LED will blink. I think Resistance is just un-backup-able for some reason. I'll hopefully get my hands on another game and I can try that one.

      Hi Everybody,

      My PS3 is on 3.55 FM, and I also installed Flukes and GeoHot (Of Course) CFW.

      I download this app and installed via Install Packages from the ps3 menu.

      I have tried 5 games so far.

      Daemos souls - NOT WORKING
      Heavy Rain - WORKING
      Splatter House - WORKING
      Valkyria Chronicles - WORKING
      Sega Master Drive - WORKING

      How I make it work? Easy I just follow up the instructions posted at the top of this tread.

      AAA one more thing to generate the PKG files you need to DRAG AND DROP the FOLDER PS3_GAME to the ebootFIX.exe and wait around 20 seconds and that's.

      Then just grab the PKG version that you need and installed. If you have doubts send me a PM or whatever.

      Thanks uploader for this game piece of software!!!

      ONE MORE THING!!! HOW IN THE **** I UPDATE A GAME? OR HOW I CAN SKIP UPDATING GAME? I DONT WANT THE LAME ****ING SOLUTION OF UNPLUG THE INTERNET CABLE!! GIVE A REAL SOLUTION TO **** ISSUE.

      thanks.!!!!!!!

      So does kmeaw's .PKG actually make more games compatible?

      How would i get as far as making a game compatible? Do i enable enable this before i open any Backup manager, and install the backups the normal way?
