Software developer KDSBest has just recently released, his SPU x86 Emulation tool, here is a quote from the source:

Hi Community,

I wanted to contribute to the scene , so I coded a tool that might help the community our members and fellow dev’s.
This Tool is intended for dev’s so please be careful if you don’t know what you do.
I will not be held responsible for any harm
My tool is a emulator for PS3 modules (e.g metldr), it is in pre alpha stage but I thought, it would be great to get some community feedback.
How to use:
Not all SPU Commands are implemented yet, but it is easily extendable and I will make it support DMA, all SPU Commands and SPU Mailbox soon.

First open a .kds file. Check out the metldr.kds to see an example. The rest is like a normal debugger.
If you put dumps of your reversed functions in the KnownFunctions folder, it will detect it and mark that function for you.

Just for example Mark the whole cellSpuAesDecryptCbcCfb128 function in HexView in IDA -> Right Click -> Save to File
Name the File “cellSpuAesDecryptCbcCfb128″ without extension and copy it to the KnownFunctions Directory of the Emulator. Now all similar functions get automatic detected!

“Step” Executes next command, “Run” runs till breakpoint (Breakpoints are not implemented yet).
Debug SPU Code in Windows.

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

00000000   00 00 00 06 00 00 1D D0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   .......Ð........

PS3HaX member nathan_r32_69 has released a tool , which lets you dump your IDPS, it also gives you various information on your PS3, like motherboard revision, here is a quote from the thread:

I’ve created this tool based on research I’m doing and had not planned release out yet, but if someone need it here it is (Thanks to J-Martin for the logo)

What does this tool?

• Displays the IDPS
• Shows Target ID
• Displays Motherboard revision
• Save your IDPS in IDPS.bin file

When the program starts you will see the typical intro screen, if you choose “Yes” you will see the data from your PS3, if sounds three beeps indicates that it was not possible dump and show the error message, and if all went well sounds a beep and you are able to see the data

Automatically saves the IDPS in dev_hdd0/IDPS.bin, you must open it with a hex editor and look hexadecimal values, for example (IDPS false, I will not reveal my IDPS):

e.g Notepad

Code:

.....…..‡.¤MGdöª

Hex Editor

Code:

00 00 00 01 00 85 00 05 87 15 A4 4D 47 64 F6 AA

The IDPS in this case would be: 00 00 00 01 00 85 00 05 87 15 A4 4D 47 64 F6 AA

It has been tested on PS3 FAT, in SLIM should work perfectly too

Since I’m a physic, I developed a linux tool to do some experiments to reproduce a seismograph. so today I decided to try to write something similar to my university tool.

This is a simple Seismograph for PS3. It uses all the axis of the first controller.

It uses 1920×1080 resolution, so I don’t know if it will ever work on SD tv.

Anyway I hope this can show how people can use PSL1GHT SDK.

(This software was written with NoRSX)

This Tool can decrypt and extract Playstation Vita, Playstation Portable or Playstation 3 retail pkg.

It uses the PSP/PS3 AES key that is used to decrypt and extract PSP/PS3 retail pkg. However, No longer can Playstation Vita PKG over beta/retail 1.00+ be decrypted and extracted with the PSP AES key

AES Keys used

        private byte[] PSPAesKey = new byte[16] {
            0x07, 0xF2, 0xC6, 0x82, 0x90, 0xB5, 0x0D, 0x2C,
            0x33, 0x81, 0x8D, 0x70, 0x9B, 0x60, 0xE6, 0x2B

        private byte[] PS3AesKey = new byte[16] {
            0x2E, 0x7B, 0x71, 0xD7, 0xC9, 0xC9, 0xA1, 0x4E,
            0xA3, 0x22, 0x1F, 0x18, 0x88, 0x28, 0xB8, 0xF8

I would like to give a big, big, big thanks to Mathieulh, Because I used his AES Engine to decrypt PS3 retail pkg, With out that it could have taken me way longer to make this tool

PS3HaX developer deroad has released ‘NoRSX’, which is a 2D graphics library, here is a quote from the source:

it was a really long time since i stopped working on this lib. i’ve built this lib to have 60fps homebrews on ps3. right now this lib is partially finished.

it works perfectly with images, but text functions are not ready to be released.

anyone that wants to start to build really simple HBs with my lib can download the src from my git: https://github.com/wargio/NoRSX [GIT]

This lib works only with PSL1GHT V2

[UPDATE 1]

i’ve updated the lib with some cool functions like generate rectangles

[UPDATE 2]

i’ve updated again the lib with a sperimental text! (text MUST be in UPPERCASE.) i added a simple message dialog function.

this is an example

these are an homebrew that i built with the latest NoRSX version that i released, and they will show you how fast is my lib with 1080p image as background.

French Developer corwin75 has created an application that lets you edit your game saves, here is a quote from the release thread:

Hello.
It’s complicated you change your ps3 saves by lack of knowledge or you have simply no hex editor? The solution is very simple. PARAM Edit is a small program that I just create to modify your saves in several areas:
- Modify the protection of saves (lock / unlock copies)
- Make compatibility saves with your account
- Modify the saves details
- Change the title of the saves
- Edit sub-title of the saves

Sources are being modified to be especially easy to read and understand each operation.

EXPLANATION:
For compatibility. You need a save to make it compatible with a game and a save from your account with the same game.

Developers Grimm and Berion have created an application, which checks and PS3 firmware you have downloaded, it reads all information on the firmware and tells you whether the firmware is MFW or OFW, the application also works with PSP and PS Vita firmwares, though the main basis of the application is for PS3 firmwares, here is a quote from the ReadMe:

Hello.

Custom Firmware Validator is a program designed mainly for veryfing downloaded or manually patched firmwares for PS3. This aplication compares checksums from the database with those which are being calculated on the currently open file. If at least one would match, the following things will appear: the name of the firware and its short description, the option to show the list of additional functions and the option to visit the author’s webpage, also one could copy a file onto USB with the proper directory stuctrure and its name (PS3, PSP, PSV).

Databases are external, written in the stardard XML and UTF-8 coded, so everyone can edit them and propose any possible corrections, what we encourage you to do.

We prepared three different bases for the program (the one for PS3 is loaded by default, but one can choose others from the option menu):
- The first one for PS3 (currently with all CFW/OFW (*.pup) and upadate packages *.pkg for Rebug and TB dongle).
- The other ones function as examples and need to be completed.

Please be advised: in order for Custom Firmware Validator to work properly Microsoft .NET Framework 4 at least ver. 4.0 is required. the program works on windows 7 – was not tested on XP, Vista or 8 (Developers/Consumers Preview).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do you plan to make databases updates?
A: Yes, but only the one for PS3. In this aspect we count on the community’s involvement. ;]

Q: Do you plan to release program updates?
A: Sure, but it depends on whether the submitted errors could be verified and whether we have ideas for new functions.

Q: What checksums are generated and will you add new in the future?
A: CRC32 (CRC32b), MD5, SHA1, SHA2-224, SHA2-256, SHA2-386 and SHA2-512. In future, probably SHA3. Others not, for the time being.

Q: Can I use CFV in order to generate checksums from other files than consoles’ firmware?
A: Yes, basically the source of no importance, because the program reads descriptions and checksums which can be freely edited and picked from the options menu.

Q: Is CFV legal?
A: Yes, it is, it doesn’t contain any keys/hashes used to sign files.

Q: Could I modify my console using the program?
A: Nah…
