A few weeks ago we told you Team Duplex had managed to unlock a handful of PSN games for CFW. They now did it again releasing 3 more new PSN games to the list.

I seriously believe this is the group who eventually will unlock 3.60+ games. Thanks Duplex and keep it up!

Duplex didn't do anything spectacular, they used a method that was known since January, a method someone else came upon, but because that person is against piracy, didn't do anything with it, but it has been documented since then.
[MENTION=131344]euss[/MENTION] could give you more information on it, he is the PS3 information gatekeeper

Good job! I am congratulating Duplex for their hardworking. I can't wait for 3.60+ games to be unlock in the near future. Cheers.

Whenever [MENTION=131344]euss[/MENTION] isnt busy, he can explain it more to you, but from what i have gathered, this method has been in the wild since around January, its just no one did anything or cared to do anything with it.

09:29 AM
uh cause it would encourage piracy i am pretty sure...basically sounds to me like there is some sort of app that can do this and duplex realized this and actually started to make scene releases...since psn was problematic at first alot of sceners probably just gave up on it and never knew...
10-11-2011

yeah, i'd love to see flower too!

id love to see ps classics, outland, flower, that lara croft game and pixeljunk shooter... hehe :D but still great job from them cant wait for the next release :D

I would take on board what you say, but your credibility in even making comments is moot, because you are associated with a site famed for stealing games and that site is associated with the retarded PS360 team, a team that thinks if you have three PS3's lying around, that you are a dev
10-11-2011
09:40 AM
As for the piracy...I am 100% certain this will cause piracy, and I don't even care anymore. If I can't play my PURCHASED games on my CFW system because of DRM, then let that same DRM be the reason games get pirated!!!

I would go talk to them, but all my PSN games are locked to my Jailbroken PS3, Flower, Burnout, and so so many more.

For what it's worth, where's some info from team DUPLEX recent releases:
Btw, the recently leaked SDK's have not helped on decrypting and there
were no 'hidden keys' of any sort in those SDK's. We challenged NPDRM
in June already (Duke Nukem 3.41 Patch).

If someone gives you all the blueprints to build a house, it still takes some work to build the damn house. I may not be the brilliant architect who designed all the plans, but if I built that house I'd still want some acknowledgement that I put a lot of time and effort into putting up those walls. Don't trivialize the worker just because they didn't invent the process.
10-11-2011
10:24 AM
I did not say they did not do well, if i thought their work was junk, i would have said so, no one else had the brains to do what they did, so i respect them for showing some initiative.

11:04 AM
Also, an apology from what I have said in the past regarding what I think of you. My nerves went a bit loose and said bad things on which I shoudn't have (even If I disagree with A LOT of what you think but we are all one regardless anyone's moral belief)
On a serious note, if pirates are the one leading this scene then I'd say this is really wrong and bad. I'd urge anyone with any dev skills to look into the latest firmware (3.72) and try to look what Sony has implemented in it because it seems that PS2 PSN games works on SLIM. They seem have added some ''emulation'' or god knows what in order to make it work. I'd say this is really something big for us and a need of a NEW CFW is really needed.
It really seems devs (if we have any left) have completely lost faith on this scene. Sony has successfully killed the scene spirit. At least they did something 'right' against us.

*BACK ON TOPIC NOW*
Its cool duplex is doing something with the tools (if its true it was released in January), I know there are games people HAVE BOUGHT and can no longer play (cant sign for verification), and because of what they are doing- they can now have the game they paid for on the firmware they want.
Is the NPDRM stuff what resulted in these games being "unlocked"?
10-11-2011
11:26 AM
10-11-2011
11:30 AM
How come no other groups are releasing stuff related to this if it's been around for so long? I mean, for example, if a way of playing 3.7+ games came out tomorrow I'm 100% sure there would be more than one CFW/method come out in the future which uses that process.
Is it due to a lack of devs actually working on the scene or down to piracy, or is it simply that other devs don't see PSN games as the main focus of their talents?
10-11-2011
11:34 AM
Now whilst this will lead to many people grabbing the games that never payed for them, the people that did pay, will be able to get back what they lost.
10-11-2011
11:41 AM
It doesnt seem like duplex is releasing any NEW games, so maybe it is an OLD way of doing things. Yeah and I second they need to release an app to do this, so we can take the games we own and run them through it to clean them from psn.

You guys need to do some research .I found that this has been done since b4 October 2010 ! I know were they are & there is over 100+ games

The real challenge would be Black ops & other Zombie maps
I dream of that day ,to play normal + mod & play on new zombie maps on my CFW 355..
+ Play multiplayer against Ai bots ,on new maps with my 355..
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
By the way the ones that were done almost 1 year ago need no crack pkg !
Just 1 pkg & that is all. I think the duplex release has a patched eboot & .dat file in there crack pkg.. I have not extracted them ,but this definitely disables the key/activation checks !
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
The other great part is they have included the elf files so they can be edited to mod !
+ re encrypted with 355 keys. I did not try yet but i believe it can be done with PS3foX2.5 I have done eboot.bin to elf to edit to re encrypt eboot.bin with Black ops ..
So the elf files should be able to do this also , possibly

We have lots of great homebrew devs, but we are lacking in devs with the knowledge and education to work on the high levels of ps3 security. Also the devs we do have need competition. Winning a race is more important when you have great competitors.

Public developers are refusing to help the scene under the umbrella of :
- I'm scared of Sony / dont want to be sued
- Piracy
- PS3 scene should find their own exploits - not have everything on a silver plate.
Ironically, this leads to more people going back to OFW which is not helping the cause.
That's basically why we are not advancing and we will not unless devs break one of those points.
At least that's what the public 'devs' are claiming. Let's hope there's still private, unknown, anonymous highly talented devs out there working in the shadow.
Especially with new games coming out this month and in november - I'm sure a lot of people will jump into OFW wagon and will leave this scene. Hopefully, somebody will do something before it happens but I think its highly unlikely.
3.72 has a new feature - the ps2 new 'emulation' integrated running and playing PS2 games on SLIM consoles/Phat. This is really something devs should look into. OFW is starting to look better and has better feature than (almost) CFW. We should always be ahead of them thus why Sony making look their OFW better so CFW users jump into their wagon.

I really don't know why the scene is scared anymore.
They have been working hard to share knowledge to evolve & i would hate to see them stop .This is a community = PS3 owners who run CFW/MFW need to stick together & help each other out no matter what ! Without progress what will there be ??
dont worry about the Credit we know who you are by now .
Release ANON please keep it alive ! It seemed like it was a big problem when there was PSN access but now without us accessing PSN . PHONY The SUE happy losers = Seems to go & F there selves now. Since we are not on there beloved PSN.
They cant say we are affecting there network anymore ! I hope the devs will not let the scene die i love this scene & i would hate to see it stand still. After i started to use CFW my being depressed about things in life = PRESONAL Health problem -> Has made me happy to come here & have fun
I hope the devs keep there passion for the scene alive ,cause we all luv them for what they have done = NO GAY ! And i know even though there are haters they / I / we are all grateful for everything we have so far from all the DEVS
I dont care if DUPLEX has Cracked or any others done this. Only thing i know is i paid for 300+ Downloads from SONY ! Now they have blocked all of us paying customers & i will say this . ( IT FEELS GOOD TO SEE MY GAMES ) ON MY PS3 I BOUGHT .When i done see what i paid for i get a UPSET & WISH HARM ON SONY !! = We are legally allowed to own & have 5 PS3s with all are game on it ! Guess what WE CAN NOW ! XboX been doing this 4 ever =Why do we have to be left out ? We spent real MONEY +Most XboX users have not bought crap ! they have been unlocking these DLc for ever now.
We deserve what we bought ,not to be blocked cause we choose to stay on a certain firmware. So i thank DUPLEX A MILLION XXX For doing this+sharing for us & letting us know they are here & not going nowhere .DUPLEX is helping to keep things rolling we luv you guys !
Thank you to all the Devs who still give a FK about the PS3 scene !
If i could do what you know i would share my A$$ of with everyone.
I like to MOD & i share with those who like it ,i would share much more if i was not 38 already,lol I am the type of person who likes to see everyone happy & guess what we don't live 4 ever ,so why hold anything back. I am 38 & i will miss this PS3 scene one day. I am already feeling like i am missing it cause of my age .But i will play & be here till the day i cant hold a controller & DIE !
To all who help -> Members/Mods/DEVs/ETC I give many thanks to all of you. I luv this scene & when lying in my death bed. I will think back & remember i was a part of the scene. To some it is just a game system but me .
I was born with a Game controller in my hand. I will miss the $ H I T out of this.
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
By the way i do have i believe the PS2 data installed on 1 of my PS3 & if i can find were it is located i can copy it to a USB & somebody can look at it .
This was the PS2 data software to run PS2 games i downloaded from PS store.
It gives you the option to format the PS3 i believe to run only PS2 games or PS3 games .This can be usefull .By the SONY is just doing this to get suckers to come back to PSn & i will never update sorry ! I have 3 PS2s so it is no big deal ! The thing that is weird i see the PS2 emu on my PS3 when i was exploring my hard drive folders .Now i am going to try & find that & copy to my pc to see what it is.. I believe it is there for running the PS2 games..

Yes, I know the site your talking about but those games were done in a different way. I believe it�s with a debug package.
Duplex releases are different because they decrypted the DRM eboot(using info and tools that has been provided by others.)

What's so stupid in most of these threads is that no real technical info is ever discussed. Only BS get's discussed. It's more like social stuff that is talked about rather than technical stuff. Can't you guys start a thread linking to some intresting info, or adding some PPT presentation with explanations or stuff. I suppose that would help the scene much more than all this talk about nothing.
10-11-2011
03:44 PM
This means the activation checks have been edited/decryption to edit.
Similar to cracked games & software checks on PC .. The dat files contain checks. They are not all debugs. Some debugs have dev cheats enabled & i know this first hand cause i have a debug version of StarDust HD from DUPLEX & it have debug settings & you can see the key checks & unlock or lock levels & more !

I believe the method should be kept to duplex & not released. Reason is simple just like a CFW is FONY were to see how this method/can be done = Patch ..Now we don't want this in the open do we ? I sure don't ,i would like to get my zombie maps 1 day .. lets leave this to the guys who are being generous enough to let us have a piece of the pie
Don't get me wrong we all even i would like to have the method,but this is not Microsoft as they don't really give a Crap but we all know how hard up FONY gets over a spilled cup of tea !

The only way if it were ever to be released ,you have to understand all it takes is 1 idiot !
To post a video on youtube & it would spread like wildfire please look at it in this perspective. We all want what you want buddy believe me. i have a few dlcs i want bad !
No use getting mad about it ,you should know how these things are ,xbox = no attention 80% less than PS3 ... This would be the downfall of keeping it low key = 1 IDIOT POSTING ON YOUTUBE is all it would take & you know who would be on there looking like flys on $h1t..
This is new & need to get old lose popularity then releasing will not be noticed ,cause the cracking of PSN will be old ! Think about it this way you dont see credit horrors flashing the tool to unlock the dlc for xbox right ? Allot of these ps3 users are immature & dont know how to keep things low key !

Maybe this person is the PS3 godfather? everyone speaks of.
If there is a godfather or godgroup then there is no need for anyone to waste their time trying to find a path already known.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
As far as I know the only method capable of this, that was detailed since January, was Grafs.
That was about the time he started asking for eboots to test, which is also about the time his legal problems started.
Many were hot on reproducing his work but interested seemed to quickly fade.
There are no stage1 hex archives, stage2 payloads or sendfile tools being hosted or shared.
(you'll need strong Linux experience and copies of Grafs downed git repo to have a shadow of a chance to make your own.)
Uess didn't publicly outline the NPDRM decryption algorithm until SEP27th? where it made ps3wiki dev overnight.
The method outlined isn't easy to turn over without some programming experience, solid knowledge of the PS3
and then tight decryption requirements require valid PSN licenses of the games to be cracked.
If the method has been publicly documented for such a long time its obscured by time and location.
Duplex is doing a good job of making it sound like its obvious and that's ok.
They earned it and now everyone gets to benefit from it.
Good for them, good for us.

09:44 PM
lol...you guys are too funny. seriously though, I wish I knew how to do this stuff. In the US this isn't a criminal offense this is a civil offense. As a dev I wouldn't care if I got sued. In America we get sued for everything. Hospitals, credit card companies, student loans...they all sue. Our government is probably gonna get sued by China. Hack away and give back to the people what the man keeps taking away. Don't let a silly little thing like a lawsuit scare you...unless your filthy rich...then you wouldn't need to hack anything.

This whole "Scene Overlord" thing is a myth, it was created by certain people, to create mayhem and destruction.
Dont you think graf_chokolo deserves a "Godfather" status @erexx ?
He has done so, so much for the PS3, he has sacrificed so much to make the PS3 Scene better, he in my eyes, is the Godfather of the scene

Its becoming pretty obvious that if any group is going to release modded eboots for 3.66+ games, it's going to be duplex. I'll not hold my breath though, the stale mate has gone on for so long it's not funny anymore.

Hmm don't think the team behind Duplex has (or will have) the methods in which to create 3.56+ modded eboots. However, mad props for the releases so far :-)
