Well with the stupid drama over the past few weeks, several hidden developer tools have been leaked, many of you probably think these release’s are great, when in fact they aren’t, they are useless to the normal user, so that brings me to the most recent leak, the tools to turn your CEX PS3 into a DEX machine, a small quote from the readme/tutorial:
**WARNING** IF THIS TUTOTIAL ISN’T FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER YOU MAY BRICK, THE AUTHOR (THAT WOULD BE ME) DENIES ALL KINDS OF RESPONSABILITY SHOULD YOUR PS3 GET DAMAGED IN ANY WAYS. YOU KNOW THE RISKS **WARNING**
Requirements:
1. A playstation 3 on firmware 3.55 or below
2. A dongle to go to Service mode
3. A usb pendrive
4. A brain
5. The author of this little trick.
6. Have your pc connected directly to the ps3 on ethernet with the ip set to 192.168.0.100 and the hostmask to 255.255.255.0 (make sure no firewall is running, not even windows one, this may prevent your console from connecting to the pc

I will edit it and front page it, but it is junk to us, it wont help us gain anything, or put us any further.
09-08-2011
08:41 AM
how will this get us no further???? Official SDK only works on dex consoles.....this will turn all retail cfw consoles into dex consoles.

I don't think I need to remind you all of the sdk argument the other day where I was told by all you guys that if I had a debug console, master disks would run.......so what-say-you, now?
.....and how did someone else get credit for submitting this 2 hours ago when I submitted this over 8 hours ago?
09-08-2011
08:55 AM
Anyhow, how do you expect to get to get the "request_idps.txt", you think Sony is going to come to your house and say "Here homie, let me hook this sh*t up for you".
So until we get this IDPS, this is just a useless RAR with a bunch of useless files.
Also the SDK is pointless, for people that are not developers, try listening g to people that know their sh*t.
EDIT
I just looked and you didn't submit any news on this on this forum, you have only started two threads and they have nothing to do with this release.
09-08-2011
09:15 AM
so this isn't good then? lol. all this stuff being released, some claiming its gonna lead to great things and others ****ting all over it. personally i would have thought it was good. but i dont know much about anything. installing rebug was a huge success in my eyes lololol.
09-08-2011
09:17 AM
I clicked the news submission thing....no biggie, whatever
It's here now.
anyway, yeah, I did read that could be a problem since a part of this is missing to make that happen, but I've also seen this quote from durandal.
btw, the sdk isn't useless....I learned how to create dynamic themes with it last night, which I've never been able to do with any other app available until now. I hit a roadblock with compiling dds files a while back, and this just solved all my problems....so IMO, it's priceless :D
09-08-2011
09:24 AM
lol ill put it a different way, the SDK is useless to about 90% of the people that downloaded it
09-08-2011
09:38 AM
Well this isn't quite bad news, or no -good- news at all, don't mistake me but aren't there developers in the PS3 scene?; because I thought there are, and good ones indeed... Most of them wished that something like this could happen to ease up their work, even if it's one step before happening, it's worth mentioning and being happy, you can't always expect one crazy leak to happen after the other, even though latelly on the scene something like this is common. I'm pretty sure developers that can't afford buying from the black market a DEX console now have a smile on their faces and that some of them will get rid of asking somebody to invest a DEX console on them or ask for donations to buy one.
Think of a little bit further...
09-08-2011

09-08-2011
09:54 AM
with the idps what would be possible?
09-08-2011
09:57 AM
Yeah...
But where are you going to get one, i think you have more of a chance of the 3.70 keys being released.
09-08-2011
10:02 AM
Hey people.... Homebrew developers COULD have the SDK in private like the scummbags who leaked it, it being public is BAD.. read my post if you like. Also YOU CAN NOT CONVERT TO DEX; PERIOD. NO cex2dex, EVER.
The SDK is useless to most of you, only homebrew devs will benefit and if they wanted they could ask for it in PRIVATE! No GAIN for the end user.
P.S. PiracyOnDEX.difficulty >> PiracyOnCEX.difficulty.
Yeah, it's true. Now what do you want DEX units for?
09-08-2011
10:20 AM
Hello guys so the sdks that have been realeased recently are in no way can be used to develop Homebrew apps? and also if i want to do homebrew apps what is the proper sdk that i have to use and any tutorial to start off? tks i really like programming and ps3 is just great
09-08-2011
10:22 AM
whatever, as long something happens to the scene.
will it die or not, who cares, I don't get all the hate about the leaks, grow up guys.
it will be fun to watch.
09-08-2011
10:31 AM
From the article, the file from sony is a generic one that is included with the PC app...but it is all illegal so I am not going to DL it to see.
There is just one little issue...even if this does work, the only advantage would be the ability to install debug firmware to test 3.60 homebrew. This sounds great in theory, but since this would only be necessary for 3.60 apps, and there is no 3.60 CFW, the apps would be useless to end users. It might be helpful for hacking 3.60, but what would be the point of that?

I just can't belive the scum keeps leaking stuff, its completely lost, this is ****ing lost, you can't ****ing trust anyone!

Whatever, **** is out, but can't be used so **** it.
still every leak that happens gives devs less and less will to work on something, its not your fault guys, you didn't leak anything, but trust me, its not a motive to be happy about something like this, also the final strike is yet to come i believe to kill this scene once and for all, and i see people clapping and enjoying the show... it saddens me
09-08-2011
12:15 PM
The most important piece is missing, it's 100% useless to 100% of the people out there... and they thought Wanikoko created a lot of bricks...
09-08-2011
12:24 PM
if anything, this seems like if we can get that last piece we need, not only would it be a full resurrection, but immortality, so to speak
09-08-2011
12:30 PM
actually it would not be hard for them to block the fake ones from psn all they would have to do is look at the ip addresses of the dev units and say hey we did not approve all of these and ban banned from psn and then what would people do they would come here and cry that they got banned and blame it on the devs.
also leaks never help any one all they do is cause the people with stuff not to share it with anyone as they feel they cant trust anyone

well in a way they could i know ms use to brick the dev 360s that they did not authorize if they connected to p-net so sony could do something along those lines if they wanted to and there is really not much you can do about that
09-08-2011
12:39 PM
they are already doing that pbanj, also lightyear, its not possible to use, you very well know that you quoted a part of a convo with square! so you know its not possible to use!
09-08-2011
12:43 PM
09-08-2011

No lightyear there is only one way to obtain it!
rebug method is indeed diferent! but its a diferent type of hack, not the same as this one.

as for whatever you heard, no man that one you saw in the logs, is how you get it, there is not another way.
09-08-2011

missing files and you got to hack a sony server.... wow this is pure win. anybody who tries hacking Sony's servers, all i can say is don't drop the soap XD
09-08-2011
12:59 PM
the only way I could see us hitting any snags would b e if they kept updated dex ofw under lock & key...but even then, just leaking that alone would be enough to get us right back up & running in a matter of minutes.
09-08-2011
01:05 PM
i never said they could do it without an internet connection so dont even try to wist my words. but 90% of the people that would do this would connect it to psn and then they would come here and cry
09-08-2011
01:16 PM
open that mofo ps3 wide and let start playing the new games,i really have no interest in psn or any homeberw stuff just for the new games
09-08-2011
01:29 PM
my point was there would not be any way to block homebrew & backups, because any updates released to block access in a previous version would just be worthless if we can just install the new version and keep our hombrew working. we'd be at a level playing field for, say, wii...they're so beaten they haven't even tried to release an update to patch all the lego exploits because they know they just can't win. This is where I see sony going.

Blah blah blah. Regardless it doesn't matter. The more **** in our hands to tinker with is a good thing period. As far as everyone actually caring if someone got a brick should get an actual life outside of their ps3 units :P As far as I am concerned I want homebrew/customization/opened console/newer game support for ACTUAL games I purchase. Don't care if there are backup manager's or not. Although the backup managers will never stop so whining about pirated games is still a non-winning argument either way you look at it.
I say keep bringing the leaks and the flashers and every damn thing we can slap Sony in the nuts with as well as allowing us to do exactly what we please with our consoles. Hat's off to the devs and a swift kick in the face to those that wanna complain and ***** about it. BIAW!!!! 
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
Your a beta tester for the ps2 emulator and are totally for other emulation and your bashing someone because they downloaded a game? Pretty sure all those emulated games you play are pirated as well. Older systems or not. You cant say you NEVER pirated a game in your life. Especially as into the "emulation" scene as yourself. I got a kick out of that one!
09-08-2011
03:40 PM
I've seen piracy kill other platforms (Dreamcast anyone?), and I don't really care what you think you know about emulation, I know I care enough about seeing the PS3 lasting as a viable developer platform and I'll tell anyone off who threatens that possibility. I'm not some kid on here playing games all day, downloading games I can't pay for because I don't get enough allowance. Hopefully you'll work hard at something someday, and with any luck at all, karma will cause you to have someone else take it on you so you can know how it feels.

A.) The ps3 platform isn't being "killed". It still sells pretty well and we can still can't run any of the more recently released titles.
B.) Used games do more damage to the industry than piracy ever has and ever will.
C.) You have a jailbroken console. If anything you're part of the so called Killing the industry trololol.
I'm sure you've never downloaded a song or movie, and I know for damn sure every video you've watched on youtube or every song you've listened to on youtube, you made sure to do it with the actual permissions of course. In short, why don't you ****ing people get off your high horse jesus christ.

06:18 PM
Would you idiots stop being so disrespectful and show General Plot some respect.
09-08-2011
08:02 PM
Rape me with a tree? Whoa there buddy
I use that emulator currently and yes I put my games I purchased in my drive and play them as well. I am very aware of what emulation is because I have been doing it from the beginning of emulation. I love homebrew emulators. Why do you think I am still on CFW??
But you will have to agree with me when I say most who emulate pirate out of their ass. Am I wrong? lol. I simply stated that regardless of your backed up games I would never believe you never pirated a game or lets say pirated anything. Pretty hard to believe in this day and age especially when you know your way around the net and a pc pretty damn well. Last time I checked there isn't a single piece of evidence stating piracy has hurt the PS3 platform or any other Playstation. Show me what you say "kills" the console's lifespan and I will side with you. I have looked very deeply and cannot find it
So as much as the pirates in your terms "make the same exscuse" so do the people that aren't pirates. But regardless of what they think about the games their iPods will be full of songs they yanked off of Limewire and god knows what else.
I believe in the theory that the developers should get paid for their hard work. But also let me tell you have bought quite a few games that were absolute trash that I would have loved to get a refund but that simply dont happen
So all-in-all I would say I have bought more games trying them before I bought them and that gave me the insight on how much the game was valued at. If I think it was worth the $60 I am all game to purcahse it and support them. I am not a super "pirate" what so ever but I just think that the argument is 50/50. Because we all know Sony ain't hurting for the so called "pirated" games and neither is the console 
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
P.S. I hope you weren't calling me an idiot. Because I am far from that. That would show your showing disrespect
09-08-2011
08:59 PM
All of this squabbling is crazy. Maybe all of this negativity, hate, and arguing is going to be the death of the scene. I mainly read these forums and rarely reply but the amount of arguing that goes on in the PS3 scene is kinda crazy. People just have to remember that an opinion is just that. The thing about opinions is that none of them are wrong, that is what defines them from fact. Arguing over opinion is a pointless endeavor. I am always especially astounded by the piracy arguments. Of course piracy is wrong, it is stealing after all but I just don't understand why people argue about it, the pirates will always pirate and the people who don't, won't. That is the way it has and always will be. If you don't think it is right than just leave the wrong doers alone, they arent going to listen to you anyway. Waste of time.
Sorry, just my opinion on the whole thing. Don't really like to rant.
09-08-2011
09:14 PM
Honestly, I couldn't care less if you want to pirate or not. It doesn't affect me one way or the other...I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy
Playing original disks would be pretty sweet, since I own all the games I want to play...I just don't have a ps2 to play them on anymore since mine died.
09-08-2011
11:20 PM
However, Music CDs are copy protected and they do need to be cracked in order to make MP3s...and the PS3 does this FROM THE FACTORY. If it is illegal to break security for the purposes of running purchased content on another platform, then it would be illegal to sell the PS3.
09-08-2011
11:21 PM
The community does not want just homebrew alone.
Its simply not enough to keep it alive.
They will eat anything they think might keep their consoles relevant.
09-09-2011
12:33 AM
Do you all understand that DEX units are harder to pirate with? It requires the same as the CEX(decrypt the selfs/sprxs) AND also you need to modify the executables before re-encrypting/fself-ing. Also NO PSN on DEX. Unless of course you work for EA,Valve etc..
09-09-2011
12:36 AM
Harder to pirate with than 3.55 CFW...but a lot easier to run homebrew than with OFW.
09-09-2011
01:51 AM
I do find that I have to extract, sign and repackage some homebrew before it will run in 3.41 retail mode.
09-09-2011
02:11 AM
3.41 with OFW doesn't even have a package installer.
09-09-2011

People if you want dex wait for rebug's single.
09-09-2011

Just use a Dongle with Hermes4B to install.
I rarely use a dongle anymore... everything I need is signed to run in Retail 3.41.

Edit: I've made a video showing PCSX2 in action running a game direct from disc.
PCSX2 Demo (For PS3Hax purposes) - YouTube
Also, as promised, a comparison shot of PCSX2 versus a PS3 running the same game in upscaled mode. If nothing else makes you understand why we work so hard on PCSX2, this should.
09-09-2011
06:39 PM
Now, @General Plot I do like PCSX2. I don't give a **** how good you god damn make the graphics. There is a nostalgia factor to playing games on a PS3, PS2, and PSX. Emulate that *****!
EDIT:Seriously all that we have emulated could be done on 3.15.

Crap like these kids come up with? Now dude you have officially declared yourself a ******. You seem more disrespectful than most on this thread. Kids? What are you like 45? Who you calling a kid? I'm glad you dont have a mod status and the reason being is probably because you would ban/cut out posts anyone said back to you Mr. Bruce Almighty. You ain't some badass and you sure ain't ultra "L33T" because your behind some emulator and are a co-founder of your glorious little forum. Get off your high horse pal and find a life outside of all this gaming stuff because it seems it's gone to your head.

You need to grow up pal. Dont insult someone over some stupid opinion of yours and you wouldn't have an issue. Stick to your non-pirate self and those pirates will stick to theirs. You started the insult. So next time dont be hypocritical and you wont have to hear from anyone. Calling someone a kid because they dont believe in what you do is pure childish behavior. Think before you post. BTW I am a very nice guy as well. We done here?

On a serious note what has any of the last 3 pages had to do with DEX, let alone converting a CEX2DEX. Rather than ***** about piracy f**king somebody figure or speculate this idps and all that noise. Why do I care what you intend to use your DEX for? And why is your DEX usage anyone elses god damned business?
http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=IDPS
Read there!^^^ figure out what the unknown bits are and start getting a DEX!
Or better yet start by checking where the checksums are that check this idps and find a way to bypass it. I will be doing some work but I am speculating on how someone could do this on their own. I am SHARING the steps I would try.
