yeeha, it works !!!

and i have created some kind of dex rebug

so i have succeeded in taking pictures with codeunique/mM on a converted dex mfw.
it was quite some hassle, but it was worth it and works really fine if all steps taken exactly. in addition, you can use rebug selector and change the debug menus, either the normal dex debug menu or the cex qa debug menu, which allows backup function and clone internal hdd function. and even rebug update packages work after the installations

NOTES:
this could cause rsod, so be careful and i am not responsible as everything works fine on my dex ps3. such rsod can be easily repaired by reinstalling firmware from recovery
this is of course only for (converted) dex consoles running 3.55 MFW with peek and poke
i have already included the kmeaw lv2_kernel.self in the archive, so you just have to install lv2loader and run it to load the kernel.

Instruction:
install all zips with latest multiMAN (doubleclick on zip in mmOS), and then install the official rebug selector. now you can run rebug selector to change retail or debug xmb/vsh and also use the 2 different debug menus. first one is the normal debug menu, 2nd is the qa menu

to take pictures with codeunique/mM you have to first switch to retail xmb with selector. this will remove of course the debug settings, which are hardcoded/flagged in debug vsh.self
to run codeunique and take (cheat) screenshots on a dex or even cheat, you first have to switch to retail xmb with selector and then after reboot start lv2loader to load alternative kernel. this will also reboot ps3. after this you are good to go to run codeunique and take ingame screenshots on a dex, as long as you do not reboot. if you only want to use its cheat function you only have to load retail lv2kernel with lv2loader, no retail xmb needed !

@KGeminis
maybe it is because of additional xml hack, dunno. if it does not work for you i will send you my category_photo.xml. and thanks for this idea, as i only want to perfect my dex mfw

...ahh, forgot to give credits to Team REBUG (and dex leaker)...

edit
here the zip files to install. i have included latest rebug selectors in the default folder. you can find them in "dev_flash/rebug/packages/" after installation of zips.
and there is no spoofer or new psn passphrase on rebug mode, just plain 3.55 dex !!! ok, react patches applied, too *



edit2
i even have repacked latest dex multiMAN 04.05.07 with the RELOAD eboot from cex version. this way it runs more smoothly and much less freeze problems on dex mfw. i can also flash dex2cex this way without error or problem...



edit3

* some sideinfo:
vsh.self.swp is patched with react and unsigned apps, and vsh.self.cexsp version is from official rebug (=same patches for cex version), but i have patched build version to match debug's 3.55, just incase.
i have tested such things some time ago on actual dex leak, but there i have got rsod when i have switched to retail xmb and no apps or games were running with a spoofer applied in rebug mode. but could also have been because i have patched the files wrong back then

when using retail xmb and kernel, this is indeed a full hybrid, at least as far as i have tested it. even the old mM v2 works with bdemu2 and hermes syscall 8.
maybe this way blu-ray movies also run on a 3.55 dex? if it is firmware based, maybe we can exchange dex bd update pkg with cex update pkg? not that i need it, but wouldn't this make dex perfect and the better choice?

Interesting hybrid FW idea @haxxxen

Hey haxxxen, good thing you got something from this.

A small update, I installed the latest version of the rebug selector and also I reinstalled Code Unique v1 and v2.3.

The good thing: I am able to take screenshots for some games now

The bad thing: It just works perfectly fine for some games, for some others the image looks like this:

(ton of noise and just random pixels)

The weird thing: it just works when I run Code Unique v1, when I run CU 2.3 the screenshot function does not get enabled.

I guess this is a good start

Nice! Shame I ain't got a ps3 lol, so what kinda cheating? Online? Or codes and shiz

[haxxxen]

@KGeminis
here, try this xml. i have packed it as zip to install it with latest multiman

your problem sounds weird to me and might be some internal system failure, as the option even works on a dex with retail vsh

i would first try that fixpermission pkg. and then maybe try restoring filesystem/database from recovery menu or complete systemrestore. if that all fails, i would do a complete format of hdd

[zideeq]

Slow down cowboy! hey I am about to install this mammajamma!

Also, how would we update the cheat database? I'm sure the greedy creators of this dongle will encrypt the new database? let me know thanks

[KGeminis]

Hi @haxxxen , I noticed my category_photo.xml file had a few differences with yours, I installed it but unfortunately it didn't make any difference, one thing I noticed though, when I load my save (ingame) I am able to take screenshots, but when I am in menus/gallery all the images I take look like the one I posted, do you think the game may have some kind of protection or something like that?

One question, if I do a database restore or a system restore, will I lose all my saves?

[haxxxen]

hm, interesting. never tried such thing and this could be a reason. but that it does not work with v2.3 is strange. i have tried it now with rebug and dex and on both it works. it must be some different error. i remember i had problems with rebug and usercheat in the beginning, and it was because of a borked rebug version, but loaded from official links.

and don't worry, the saves won't be deleted, also the trophies not. only if do full system restore. but to be sure, backup the xregistry and if available exdata folder.

edit
wait, backup all your saves and trophies too, as your filesystem could be corrupted. if so, ps3 will format automatically without any choice

So if I use the method to enable rebug selector does that mean I am finally able to not only use the bd-emulator with dex to make my console think it really has a blu-ray inside as well as use the cheat program. I need to keep the dex bd-emulator on since I don't have a working blu-ray drive, but I would like to use cheats and everytime I load codeunique it dumps back to xmb
