Itskamel, always up to date and with an army of information and his awesome rep with tutorials, now presents us: Peek and poke pkg’s. Kudos to him!
Ok so you converted from CEX to DEX and you have not been able to install retail pkg’s? well now you can with this firmware.
3.55 DEX ofw patched with mfw builder for peek and poke and EussNL’s patch.
enjoy.
Use at your own risk!
i have installed and ran comgenie awesome file manager. please post if you are running other homebrew successfully.

Notice: You must change the filename from “NewDEXKamel.PUP” to “PS3UPDAT.PUP”
Update:
To quote Itskamel:
Psn game mortal kombat arcade collection installed and ran fine with the duplex fix. (He owns that only one, so he tested only MK)
So all psn games should install and work.
Follow him on twitter = @Itskamel
More from kamel:
UPDATE: just tested REBUG coldboot installer, and it works flawless. enjoy your coldboots.
UPDATE 2:REBUG pkg installer working also!
UPDATE 3: here is another link to the pup since people were having trouble with the first one.http://depositfiles.com/files/im3gbkc4f
remember to rename it to “PS3UPDAT.PUP”
UPDATE 4: installed showtime 3.61 and it ran fine.

[MENTION=103534]popcorn900[/MENTION] You can install packages... Try reading the first post...
[MENTION=25169]SonyH@K&R[/MENTION] No offense dude but I'm REALLY getting tired of you and everyone else asking this. What FW is this? 3.55. Do we have the 3.6x+ keys in 3.55? No. We have them in 3.6x+ FW. CEX or DEX makes no difference they came out at the same time how on earth is a FW released well before 3.6x suppose to know it's future keys!?!?! I do not understand what is so hard to grasp. No you can't play updated retail eboots that still require THE KEYS. MultiMAN should work as if you were on 3.55 CEX though so have at it >.>

the only way to mod is to a)savedata mod, b)have 2 ps3 and do data transfer utility and transfer mods from a cfw cex ps3 to a ofw cex ps3 this is a dex ps3 thread and dex don't mix with cex and psn online, get your fact straight before you come crying like a little baby and get the heck out of this thread!

07-24-2012
06:26 AM
what about a pkg to dump an eboot that has already been decrypted from memory
07-24-2012
06:29 AM
Much more likely. Can't cfwprophets POC dumper be used on 3.73? IIRC??
Maybe someone can try it on 3.73 dex?
07-24-2012
06:35 AM
if we could do it, we could then sign it with 3.55 keys and party time for everyone.
could some kind dev please try this.
so i think we need to extract POC dumper.pkg then re-package but do'nt sign pkg,install on DEX4.11 and give it a go.

hi.
excuse me can you reply to me even if it may be a noobish question ?
thx
07-24-2012
10:14 AM
Yes, you can update to 4.11 DEX (or 4.20 DEX though I would wait til someone tests the 4.20 DEX) and play higher games
Yes, you are able to downgrade your 4.11 DEX system to 3.55 DEX once again with the 3.55 DEX Downgrade file.
The reason we say things like this are noobish questions is because they have already been answered, you just have to read through the articles (not comments such as these) to get these answers, TheFrenchy.
The reason you should downgrade to 3.55 DEX on occasion is because 3.56+ DEX firmwares do not have the "Install Packages" option.
Currently, you are not able to go back to retail, but there are ways being explored. Besides, there is hardly anything that CFW CEX firmware can offer that DEX now can not. We have many CFW of DEX firmwares that do almost exactly what retail CEX systems do now.

4.20 dex has been varified: working
07-24-2012
10:22 AM
thx for your reply.
i did read a lot of things but didnt understand anything
so we can convert 3.55 cex to dex then upgrade to 4.20 dex to play backups from hard drive without any problem of keys ?
i thought peek n poke coudln't be use on fw 3.56++ (even dex) this is why i dont understand anything.
there are not mutch "french" news about it and my english is limited sorry about that
07-24-2012
10:26 AM
Peek and poke is required for backup managers (homebrew), but the method for running back ups on DEX doesnt use peek/poke or require a traditional backup manager. It uses PS3gen. Google it

[MENTION=185665]itskamel[/MENTION] is it possible for you to please make a similar dongeless version of 3.41? so people could do the naehrwert method to obtain keys?

http://www.ps3hax.net/showpost.php?p...&postcount=178
I trust your firmwares and atm devwiki is down so we cant download any firmwares to try this out. I am downloading hermes 3.41 with v4 payload as we speak from a weird source, but I cant remember if it required a dongle or what
07-24-2012
10:50 AM
Does reactPSN still function on dex?
07-24-2012
10:55 AM
The problem is now with the higher firmwares, there are NO CFW so far...
So in order to play games higher than 3.55 either one or two things must be done.
#1. You must have a disc version of the game (not sure if it MUST be an actual PS3 disc or if it can be burned, don't have a burner for blu-ray discs.)
#2. In order to play from an external hard drive you have to use the BD emulator found in the debug settings, problem is (as I have yet to test this though) you have to have a hard drive dedicated to using on the PS3 because the BD emu will fully format the hard drive and also you must use new updates and modify them in order to use on the Hard drive.
there is a nice tutorial made by an anonymous source.
Fully copied, I did NOT write this tut, was copied from a thread here on PS3HAX.net
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An anonymous source sent a method to running 3.6+ backups on a Dex machine
You will need these files.
ps3gen.zip
psn_package_npdrm.rar
PS3 Game Updater 1.41.rar
PkgView_1.3.rar
Preparing the usb hdd:
0. Connect an external usb disc
1. Go to debug settings on your dex
2. BD Access select "BD Emulator (USB)"
3. transfer rate option select "HDD Native"
4. "Format BD Emulator HDD"
Preparing the update:
1. First use PS3 Game Updater to get the newest Update pkg for the game
2. Then fire up Pkg View and extract the BCUS98295 dir into any dir -lets just call it targetdir.
3. Extract psn_package_npdrm.exe into this dir
4. Create a .txt into this dir and fill it with:
Content-ID = EP0001-BCUS98295_00-0000111122223333
K_licensee = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
DRM_Type = Free
Content_Type = GameData
PackageType = DiscGamePatch
PackageVersion = 01.21
Rename the .txt file "package.conf".
Where BCUS98295 is the Title ID of your game and Packageversion has to be the Number of the Patch you downloaded
5. run it via cmd with psn_package_npdrm.exe package.conf BCUS98295
-> this will create a new update pkg for your game -> put on usb stick an install on DEX 3.55 ( don't know if you can also install it later )
Preparing the BD Emu Disc:
0. connect external usb with your pc
1. Fire up psgen.exe
2. fill in the title id: bcus.. put disc version to 00.00, copyright holder = sce, producer name = sce, tick trophy, click setup game
3. file -> import -> load up the param.sfo, click tab content information files and drag and drop the files from ps_game without the directories ->
; remove files that get a grey background -> click ok
4. click tab directory and file the structure with your backed up files
5. click build
6. click for bd emulator hdd tab and select the partition u want to use

[MENTION=235909]PS3ModdrsAreMadOwnedNoobs[/MENTION]
your comments have made me lol so much do you realise what you are saying or typing at all?
firstly no one can mod games online with this as the 3.55+ does not have that ability yet if at all again.
second DEX firmware does not allow online at all!
third the only way people mod online games is if they have 2 ps3 to data transfer from the 3.55 with the mods to the OFW.
do you do any research before typing **** that really does not apply to anything relevant?
If you want to not play with modders fine be my guest but good look trying to find that these days people like mods ok so there not for everyone but there there and there is nothing you an do about it apart from enjoy it.
I hope that even you can understand this but once something has started you cannot stop it easily like the say once the genies out the bottle good luck putting it back in.

Hmm. I've read a bunch of guides, deciphered a lot of information, but the picture I've drawn hasn't yet convinced me of a reason to go from CEX to DEX. I'm not a dev, just an average user who loves his emulators and Linux (and a few backups that I admittedly pirated because why would I ever pay $$$ for games like FOTNS: Ken's Rage) but at times I do admittedly miss a few things that I doubt I'll see anytime soon on my PS3, such as:
1. Well, I hate PSN but I love Rock Band DLC. That's gone, along with all the DLC I'd ever want for any of my other games.
2. A giant userbase full of COD players that I could challenge at any time. That, and Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, are the only games I ever played online.
3. The ability to play certain newer games without having to purchase another PS3. (Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, Rage, etc.)
Now, I can't whine and beg "The Devs" for these things, because some of them lie on the road of piracy and illegality. I can't even say I'm incredibly disappointed with the progress of the scene as of late, because I can't really say I see any room (or possibility) for improvement without the dumping of LV0, nor do I know of anyone willing to try.
itskamel, I appreciate your contributions to the community. Regarding your latest efforts with this PUP, I've seen some of the significant advantages a DEX PS3 can bring me, but in all honesty, do you think it's worth it to make the change for the average individual? Is our ability to access PSN (even in times when they find a temporary 2 week workaround) permanently disabled? And since, at current, there is no way to return to CEX, can you elaborate on why that is, or link me to an article that does?
TL;DR - Opinions.

If i put a game in the system reads it asap if i put a movie in I can only see it under multiman and it will not play. Thanks for any help and all that devs that made this possible keep up the great work.

hi to make the dex pup did you use rebug task or normal tasks???
07-29-2012
12:46 AM
Ok so heres another "so i can" question. But here it gooes anyway.

So im on kmeaw 3.55. If i convert to dex 3.55 my backups will work the same with multiman dex version right?
And then i can switch back and forth from 4.11 dex with no backups (for now)but i can run retail discs like normal. and back to 3.55 dex to run my old backups and homebrew?
And the reason to do this is cause its easy to go back and forth and you dont need a hardware flasher?
I think i got it. Please correct me though
07-29-2012
01:45 AM
everything will work the same with my firmware.

i need a way to play "The Journry" PSN Game, bought few days back when ReAct starts workin in 3.55 Rebug

07-29-2012

Oh yea and no blu ray playback right??
07-29-2012
09:05 PM
Hello itskamel,
I notice that there is no Backup Utility in Settings in DEX 3.55 firmwares. Do you experience it as well?
Does that mean if I want to use Backup Utility, I have to go back to CEX.

[MENTION=185665]itskamel[/MENTION]s 3.55 dex is perfect for backup managers.
4.11-4.21 dex wont run back up managers but will mount 4.xx ps3gen'd iso images.

Its not strictly a "backup manager" it formats your USB HDD and allows you to install 4 games on it only.
BUT YES YOU CAN RUN BACKUPS ON 4.11 dex through this method.

Nicely done! Since there are no HW differences in DECH (DEX) units and CECH (CEX) units, I should be able to install this on my real DEX unit. Is that correct?
Cause I've got one here residing on my desk, collecting dust...

yup looks like it..asking cfwprophet didn't work
, it creates a elf file, there must be the important info hidden for game to work...played arround with it..first it worked but now when it was needed, it dumped nothing so this area is unclear to me

It works on real DECH machines as well. Mine is a DECHJ04. I updated from 3.41 DEX to 3.55 itsKamel DEX MFW. Works without any problems...

We found a way to restore Backup Utility in DEX:
http://www.ps3ita.it/hack/ripristino...dex-by-ps3ita/
Just install and start this pkg: http://uploading.com/files/get/5dd48...up_utility.pkg
There is also a pkg for uninstall http://uploading.com/files/get/c7ff8...up_utility.pkg, this is because if the option backup utility does not uninstall many options are not displayed in "debug settings"
Oh I forgot has only been tested on cfw 3.55 DEX
ps: sorry for having resumed a old topic..
