• PS3 Hacks, Software , 26.04.2012

    PS3 Developer nathan_r32_69 has released a tool aimed at other PS3 developers, that will let you dump your eEID and EID0-EID5, straight to a USB device via the XMB, what is also great, is that he didn’t sell his soul and enter his app into some lousy competition on some mediocre site, saying that, here is a quote from his thread:

     

    This tool dumps your eEID and EID0-EID5 in your usb device from XMB without install Linux or dumping your NAND, extract it and split EID, for example

    I´m releasing this for developers who are researching, for example with CEX to DEX (Thanks to J-Martin for the logo)

    THIS TOOL IS SAFE, ONLY DUMPS

    IT DON´T ALLOW TO LOAD 3.60+ BACKUPS OR LOGIN IN PSN

    THIS TOOL IS MORE USEFUL FOR DEVELOPERS THAN TO FINAL USERS

    What does this tool

    • Dumps eEID directly from the XMB
    • Dumps EID0 directly from the XMB
    • Dumps EID1 directly from the XMB
    • Dumps EID2 directly from the XMB
    • Dumps EID3 directly from the XMB
    • Dumps EID4 directly from the XMB
    • Dumps EID5 directly from the XMB

    Install PKG file and load it, you will see the intro screen, choose “Yes” if you want to dump or “No” to exit, remember to connect an usb device before proceed and if you don´t have any usb device connected it will ask for one

    Works on NAND and NOR, but in some machines the dump may be blank or erroneous

    To know if the dump of EID is correct open your file “eEID.bin” with a hex editor, the beginning must be EXACTLY like this:

    Code:
     Offset    00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

      If you modify EID0 in the right way along with a number of other things you can turn a retail CEX unit into a debug DEX unit.

      Also, does it piss anyone else off that they have to write stuff like this

      IT DONT ALLOW TO LOAD 3.60+ BACKUPS OR LOGIN IN PSN
      Read the article before you instantly reply to it. "Oh new tool!! There's an explanation of exactly what it does in the description right above the download link. But screw reading, I wonder if it'll help me play GT5, boot TB, or log into PSN? I better ask!!"

      We all hope any tool release will soon lead to a new cfw, but yes it is kindda annoying that even with such notices people are just too lazy to read and make a post asking it it means they can play newer games with it.

      But it does seem that nowadays we should congratulate, not just thank, those devs who release things for free though :P
