• 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

      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?

      Dude sorry, i didn't see yours, kids at school, late nights early mornings, out all day, etc, etc, etc

      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.

      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.

      [8/28/2011 08:03:45] Durandal Dokuchayev: hell i gave you 3.60 sdk without any hassle
      [8/28/2011 08:03:54] Durandal Dokuchayev: without it, you won't get anything out of the ports
      [8/28/2011 08:04:01] Durandal Dokuchayev: you need ssl certs it recognizes
      [8/28/2011 08:04:10] squarepusher64: and they changed those certificates?
      [8/28/2011 08:04:14] Durandal Dokuchayev: yep
      [8/28/2011 08:04:16] Durandal Dokuchayev: rms was using it too much
      [8/28/2011 08:04:28] Durandal Dokuchayev: they changed the port number too
      [8/28/2011 08:05:07] squarepusher64: so how are people still able to do it then?
      [8/28/2011 08:05:09] squarepusher64: through Math's method?

      [8/28/2011 08:07:12] Durandal Dokuchayev: 61.213.152.162
      [8/28/2011 08:07:17] Durandal Dokuchayev: sure
      [8/28/2011 08:07:26] Durandal Dokuchayev: use port 63210
      [8/28/2011 08:08:08] Durandal Dokuchayev: with proper certs it'll give you the new dex idps
      [8/28/2011 08:08:15] Durandal Dokuchayev: or you can do what snowy and crashserious are working on
      [8/28/2011 08:08:28] Durandal Dokuchayev: i have a cex idps
      [8/28/2011 08:08:45] Durandal Dokuchayev: and both its phat and slim dex idpses
      [8/28/2011 08:08:53] Durandal Dokuchayev: you can use to figure out what changed
      I understand maybe in its current, leaked form it may not be everything we need, but wouldn't that be the only missing link? It sounds to me like he's found a way to generate it....maybe we just need to get square to light another fire under his ass lol

      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

      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...

      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?

      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?

      so every console can install cfw without buying hardware. there's plenty of people who have updated or purchased updated consoles that want to jump in the action. I think people forget about this percentage of the population too easily sometimes

      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

      how would something that would allow us to update our consoles to the most recent debugging ofw kill the scene?? That would mean we could all use homebrew on every console and.....dare I say....other 'less-than-legal' things people want, as well as psn. And there's nothing sony could do to stop it, because if they did they would only be affecting official developers too.

      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

      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

      ok, good point about psn....but it would definitely blow the homebrew (and backup) scenes wide opened because of its inherent ability to natively install packages and run backed up game files....am I correct? And from what I understand is we would also be able to update to newer debugging ofw at will, right? that would mean nothing sony could do would block us from using homebrew ever again...not without having a negative affect on official developers, am I correct?

      nope, I just am smart enough to realize that remotely bricking a console isn't possible if you don't even let it attempt connect to their server by completely severing its internet connection....and the fact that you thought that would convince me they could brick a console remotely without having any remote access to it is utterly insulting.

      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.

      well then that's their problem for being stupid. that doesn't mean it would stop homebrew...it's just an incidental. just like 360's can be banned....this scenario would just be worse because it doesn't just block online access but destroy your console. Yeah, it would suck for those that it could happen to, but sh*t happens, life still goes on, and you learn to read before doing stupid things.

      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.

      If you don't care about homebrew, why not just update to the latest ofw and play them? Seems to me what you meant to say was all you care about is piracy. For people like you with intentions like that, I hope you do manage to brick yourselves. People killing the scene by leaking stuff are still not as bad as people who are killing the PS3 platform by stealing games.

      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.

      If you're starting to go down the emulation == piracy route, let me stop you before I make myself verbally rape you with a tree. I own a real PS2 and I own real games for it. Our emulator isn't designed as a magical piracy tool. Hell, I could install FreeMCBoot if I wanted that. The main advantage that the emulator has over the real machine is true full HD resolutions (not that crappy upscaled pic that backwards compatible PS3 puts out), unlimited memory cards, save states, and many others. Unlike most emulators that exist, ours is able to run games directly from the original store-bought PS2 discs using a PC DVD drive.

      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.

      Really old games are not piracy...I think it goes back 20 years...I may be wrong about how long...not exactly sure. But you do make a good point... ps2emu is very much piracy still...it's very hypocritical to say someone else should stop pirating content just because the content they're pirating is a little newer.

      I know if you didn't care, you wouldn't have replied. You make no sense. You say you don't care about homebrew, only running new games, yet you say you have a 3.70 updated ps3, which completely contradicts your previous statement. If you ask me, it looks like you're trying to backpedal.

      hahaha....you obviously don't know me very well, man....I'm about as far from shunning piracy as sony is from just handing us the 3.70 keys. I'm just pointing out that just because you own the game does not make backing it up legal when you have to circumvent security to do it.

      Here we go with this **** again, Piracy has been around since the written word, last I checked books still sell.

      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.

      Really? Have you ever actually tried putting a PS2 game into your PC drive? You'll find you can make an ISO and read/copy files from it with no security in place to prevent it. Get your facts straight before you come out blazing.

      A couple points to make here. As I've said, PS2 games (original ones mind you even) have no copy protection embedded in their discs. And you don't have to copy the game to run it in our emulator, it can run the game directly from an original disc. How many times do I have to say this?

      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

      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.

      this is something I was not aware of. If you mentioned it here then I missed it.

      PS2 games don't have copy protection...they have special disks that trigger the system to accept the disk or not, but that does not prevent copying and no cracking needs to be done to make the games play on systems that never had this feature. Cart games are not copy protected either...they just relied on the difficulty of making the cartridge itself.

      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.

      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..

      3.41 in retail mode gives me very little trouble running anything except backup managers which I don't use anyway.
      I do find that I have to extract, sign and repackage some homebrew before it will run in 3.41 retail mode.

      If you still own your PS2 and have your original games, then you may be in luck. If your PS2 runs enough to get a BIOS dump from it, then you can use our emulator to play your games on. We aren't 100% compatible mind you, but almost 80% of the games we've tested are now fully playable, so there's a good chance some of yours will work on it. You can find out if your games are on our compatiblity list here to see if they work. If so, then by all means feel free to download the latest build (and you'll need the BIOS dumped from your PS2 as well) and give it a go.

      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.

      I wasn't going to get involved in this but because General Plot is so far off topic I will. Open source = Open Software. Devs hiding **** and never releasing = the travesty of poor emulation we have on the PS3 we have no "real" PSX FOR ****S SAKE. And the list is long PS2, N64, possibly dreamcast.

      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.

      When you act like a kid, expect to be called one.

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?

      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.

      Don't call me a retard pal. Because I am far from one. Actually don't even try to defend someone from the opinion they are trying to make. Don't bring your friendship into a dispute. It never work out. I told you how I felt and weren't aiming any fingers at you so stay out my affairs with someone else. He wants to make his opinion known and so will I. It would be absolutely selfish and ridiculous/one-sided to take your little friends word over some simple opinionated/hypocritical debate. If that's how you do business here than you can sincerely kiss my ass. Your friendship/personal relation to someone on a open minded forum is an error on your behalf. You take your retarded word and slap yourself with it. I made a valid point to the guy and he responded with a semi-childish response. Don't be an idiot Greg. Keep your special interest out of the conversation. Your friend sat here and took it WAY off topic starting with telling someone about their anti-pirate views and how they would like to see all pirates wind up with a ban all the way to his ridiculous advertising for his (not his because all he has done is beta test some software which my 5 yr old could do not to mention be a co-founder of a simple forum such as the one he advertises) PS2 emulator which has nothing to do with the point at hand. Knowing the guy has pirated probably as well as you have. So take it as you will but if you want to run a successful forum do us all a favor and take your "friend" credit off of the table. I like your news Greg and I like you but do me a favor and don't defend someone else. He is a big boy as he stated before and can answer to his own issues. Unless your his big brother. . I am an adult and see what he states and also see what he lacks in his conversation. Be a nice guy and not an ******* and dont defend full grown adults. Stay Greg like we always know you are a cool guy. I am done with this conversation. Say what you want. Have a good night!
