• [Released] aldostools PS3 Tools – Seven Useful Tools For The PS3/multiMAN

    PS3 Hacks, Software , 10.02.2012

    PS3HaX member aldostools has released a few personal apps that he has created for use with the PS3, here is a quote from his post:

    UPDATE 2012-02-10:
    Updated my collection of tools for PS3 :D

    It now includes 7 tools that I have developed for personal use. See downloads at the bottom of the post.

    PS3 NET Server GUI 1.0 updated!
    It’s an improved GUI for the PS3 NET Server (the PC side of multiMAN).
    (hosts hide in system tray, remember last used folders, supports up to 10 hosts, white list, etc.)

    Changes: Fixed a bug where port was always “38008″, now supports drag & drop

    mmTM_GUI 1.0 new!
    It’s a tool that pack and unpack multiMAN’s theme files (THM).
    (supports drag & drop of THM file, THM file as command line, browse for THM file)

    PKG ContentID 1.0 new!
    It’s a tool for view quickly the ContentID of a PKG.
    (It does more than that, please read the readme for details)

    PARAM.SFO editor 1.0 new!
    It’s a tool to edit PARAM.SFO files and the PARAM.SFX files created by “Create PS3_EXTRA” (see below).
    (supports drag & drop of PARAM.SFO, PARAM.SFO as command line, browse for SFO/SFX file)

    Create PS3_EXTRA 1.1 updated!
    This tool scans for the PKG, MP4 and P3T files copied to each game folder, its PS3_UPDATE folder, PKGDIR or PS3_CONTENT, and store them under a PS3_EXTRA structure.

    PS3RIP 1.0
    It’s a tool that should help you gain some space on your external HDD, removing unnecessary files.

    renam 1.0
    This tool, if copied to the GAMES or GAMEZ folder, will rename the games sub-folders
    from the default “BLUS0000-[Title]” format to “Title [BLUS0000]“.

    …don’t be fooled with the small size of the files 

    All these tools are Win32 and require the VB5 runtime DLL.
    XP users should have this already installed (if not, download & install the DLL).

    That’s all for now

      Do you think that it could be possible to run the ripper on the internal probably via FTP or as an Homebrew App?? That would be amazing!!!
      But.. real great work man. Thank you

      I just FIXED an error in the mmTM GUI that was creating corrupted THM files.

      Please re-download both packages again from the link in the thread, just to be sure that you have the latest versions

      [MENTION=104936]miniudavid[/MENTION]:
      I think it is safer to do it in an external drive, double check the ripped files, then copy them back to the PS3

      OMG, thanks! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! lol

      EDIT: I just tried it again, the .thm file you supplied in the other thread extracts fine, but the ones I build don't (even with only basic colour changes applied). Every image gives an error when trying to view them after packing and unpacking them to test.. Any idea what i might be doing wrong? I can't test it on my PS3 at the minute, but I imagine it should extract okay on the PC, just like your original *.thm.

      Latest mmTM_GUI.exe version tested had an MD5 of : b6cb933691073798610377772927ca58

      You're right... there was still a problem creating the THM files

      I hope it is fixed now in mmTHM_GUI 1.2 (md5: 0e1d3a6f528875065b7893a29b27c665).

      +It now let you create THM files using right-click on folders.

      THANKS for your bug report. I appreciate your feedback.

      It actually only deletes the PS3UPDAT.PUP. All the ripped file are *moved* to a x:\RIPPED folder in the root of your disk (with the exact folder structure in the original folder). The ripped files in the original folder are replaced with a 0 byte file. So you can verify what was ripped and restore from the RIPPED folder, in case there was a mistake.

      The files that are ripped, are the ones that match the pattern file (you can edit it from the program or opening PS3RIP.cfg with an editor). The default patterns rip the dummies, 3D files and foreign language files for major games (all languages except English). Anyway before use it, review the patterns (just in case there is some language or kind of file that you want to keep).

      ADVICE: Always test your game before delete permanently the ripped files from the x:\RIPPED folder.

      Perfect fix, working fine now!

      "+It now let you create THM files using right-click on folders." < -- Very handy feature, saves having to click through loads of folders!

      Thanks again for the great tools!

      Couple tweaks so far:


      Changed the PSVita theme a little also, to match my Xperia.
