Several months ago a device that enabled cheating on 3.55 FW, was released, that devices name was PS3UserCheat Dongle, today that device has been fully hacked, thanks to some awesome hackers/coders/devs, @oct0xor and @flat_z will go down in the annals of PS3 History as the two guys who have hacked the first PS3 dongle since PS Jailbreak was hacked, here is a quote from oct0xor’s Twitter:

Release:
ps3usercheat dongle pwned!

I am not a lone wolf and say thanks to all who helps me anyhow with this: @flat_z. <3
Also thanks to Baphometh from psjailbreak.ru who donated dongle to me.

PS3HaX developer Snowydew along with the help of software devloper KDSBest released some interesting Edat Encryption/Decryption tool’s on Sunday, here is what Snowydew said when i asked him about the tools:

Stupid question, what does your tools do ?
was wondering if i could add a bit to the post
extracts iso.bin.edats
post ?
when kds converted it over he found out that act.dat and rif can also be decrypted
as well as possibly re encrypted
errr the thread about it / news post, haven’t done this in ages
the reason the re encryption process is a POC, is because even though we can resign it, we’re unfamiliar with certain bytes in the header (What i wanted to ask if you could add)
I havent done one yet, but if you want to do it, i will front poage it, it would look more proffesional coming from someone that knows exactly what it does
well it’s full sources for all the versions, the java ones are the originals that i’ve had since december
looked aroudn for people to convert over to something usable since you need the java sdk and netbeans installed to even use it or compile it, so we got it to c# through kds
when converting it over he found out little aspects to rif and act.dats, i’m not sure if he included them 100% though

Snowydew> so the decryption as it stands right now, an do iso.bin.edat, requires idps, rif and act.dat for the games.
re encryption i believe it needs the “fake” signed ones, as well as an idps (not sure on the idps)
however the second method only requires the idps and the .rap file
this does not cover licenseing games i believe (It could, but we haven’t tested it)
the re encryption algo is in the encryption one, but again haven’t been able to test it completely (reason i was asking around on twitter awhile back)

Software developer KDSBest has taken his SPU Emulation software out of Alpha stage and into Beta stage, here are some quotes from his Twitter:

Let’s call it beta (SPU emulation). Tested with my own elf alot commands if they work properly. Disabled buttons depending on state.

And last but not least, if you press run a new thread is spawned. Now you are able to press pause and it stops the run ofc.

The performance get a super boost with the threading.

PS3 Developer deroad has had some spare time recently, so decided to fix Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, that were originally ported to PSL1GHT by PS3 Dev KaKaRoTo, here is a quote from deroads blog:

Well since i had 2 days free, i decided to use them to fix the EFL libs for PSL1GHT ported by KaKaRoTo.

this is my repository: https://github.com/wargio/EFL-PS3 (~138 Mb insted of 800+ Mb of the original one)

to compile this libs you need some dependencies:

autopoint libglib2.0-dev libltdl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libfontconfig1-dev libx11-dev libdbus-1-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6-dev libpam0g-dev libxcursor-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev libxkbfile-dev libsqlite3-dev libimlib2-dev libtagc0-dev libtag1-dev libxmu-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libasound2-dev cmake

then launch

./download_essential.sh

once done, you can launch ./download_ps3efl.sh and after that ./build_ps3efl.sh

you should be able to install the EFL.

You don’t need to use easy_e17.sh to compile it. download_essential.sh will resolve the dependencies for you!

for any troubles/problem/broken links, write here or on the git, and i’ll try to fix it

Source deroads Blog

Here is an addition from PS3HaX member Korben:

KaKaRoTo updated his GIT repository with Deroad/Wargio’s commits and others fix.

So if you want to begin some stuff with EFL, you should visit :

https://github.com/kakaroto/e17/tree…/devs/kakaroto

Meanwhile, PS3Tutorials wiki is getting better and better, now, we’re traducting it in many others langages (french, spanish, italian) :

http://ps3tutorials.wikispaces.com/W…+PS3+Tutorials

And a tutorial about EFL is on the road :

http://ps3tutorials.wikispaces.com/E…tion+Libraries

Of course, like all good wiki, any kind of contributions to it is very welcome.

Thanks to KaKaRoTo for EFL-PS3, maintain it and helping me on IRC.
Thanks to Deroad/Wargio for the Wiki, fix things for EFL and helping me on the Wiki and IRC.

Keep up the good work guys.

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

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.
