    Andbey0nd released along with aldostools this new App very useful to *power up* your DEX converted PS3. ;)

     
    To quote:

     

    Well we are now in the month of September, after having a blast of ‘scene’ fire during August, so what better way to start off the new month, by releasing another great ‘little utility’ for all those that converted their PS3 consoles over to DEX mode.

    This one is from scene developer ‘andbey0nd’ along with help from aldostools, and makes DEX machines even more useful as you can now use PS3 Generator without the need of setting up all the those weird confusing options, so even noobies now can transfer games like ‘Sleeping Dogs’ over to your USB HDD that has been re-formatted for DEX-only usage.

    Here is the ‘readme’ from the little utility called genGP3:

    genGP3

    Usage: genGP3.exe GAME_FOLDER [output.gp3]
    Example: genGP3.exe x:GAMESFUNNY_GAMEPS3_GAME

    or

    Drag and drop your game PS3_GAME folder to genGP3.exe

    Use command prompt or drag & drop a PS3 game folder to genGP3.exe
    It will create a .gp3 XML project file for PS3 Generator Tools
    Use Generator tools to create a MasterDisc or BDEMU image (iso/emu)

    Here is example output of the app when PS3_GAME folder of ‘Sleeping Dogs’ was drag&dropped to ‘genPS3.exe’:

    Gathering data for [BLES01661 - Sleeping Dogs]…
    Project data size: 7.2 GB
    Please wait…
    Done!

    Project written to: H:GAMESBLES01661-[Sleeping Dogs]BLES01661.gp3
    In most cases, it only takes about 1 to 2 seconds to complete the operation, you then use this file in ‘PS3 Generator’.

    Remember still only newer games which have ‘retail updates’ on the Sony servers can be played on DEX, this tool just makes using PS3 Generator easier. — Enjoy

    ===========================

    Update: (Tip from aldostools) thanks to @MARA87

    TIP:

    1. Extract the rar to C:genGP3 (it should be that path!!!)
    2. Create a new text file with the following content and save it as “Associate genGP3 to Folders.reg”

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellGenerate PS3Gen Project...]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellGenerate PS3Gen Project...command]
    @=”"C:genGP3genGP3.exe” “%1″”

    3. Double click on “Associate genGP3 to Folders.reg”

    Now you will be able to create the .gp3 file in 1 second just right-clicking on the PS3_GAME folder ;)

    To remove the association, create a text file with the following content and save it as “Associate genGP3.reg” and double click on it.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellGenerate PS3Gen Project...]

    Update 2: V2 released

    CHANGELOG:

    01.00 – Initial Release

    02.00 – Support for PS3_EXTRA (new format), support for Extra Content (Themes, Packages and Videos in PS3_EXTRA)

    Now it is possible to create scripts which otherwise would take over 30 mins to create when PS3_EXTRA folder is present with up to 1000 content folders for themes, videos and packages. 02.00 adds support for games like “Journey – Collector’s Edition”

      STFU and stop being a prick.

      Plus deank has not registered the name Andbey0nd here, so we cannot ban it.

      This seem really cool, I may have to convert over to DEX now it has gotten simple, but it said that this only works on games with updates on $ony's servers? would that not be all of them? or is it just the newer games 4.11+

      3.70+
      Up to 3.60 you just play them as you do now.
      If I am wrong I'm sure someone will correct me

      xtrem3x, yup. You are wrong.
      You can play any game with requirements up to FW 4.21 if Sony has released any patch to that game (which of course still has the 4.21 as the required FW)

      If a game is below 3.60 do you still need to use the patch method to play it on 4.21 DEX?
      So to play games with multiman in Dex you need to be on 3.55 DEX?

      there is no online but u can go from dex 4.21 to 3.55 dex as easy as installing a fw pup

      going from dex to cex is possiable, ive never tried it, as there is no reason for me to go back to cex 3.55 cfw as 3.55 dex mfw is just the same as cex 3.55 cfw
