credits to Team Rebug and deank for tools and anonymous person for dex leak (and of course @KGeminis for the idea)

first off, i am outing myself as cheater, because i have tried all this only because i wanted codeunique running on dex mfw.
...and the fact, the screenshot plugin does not work on a dex made me sick and i wanted to get a workaround for this

the benefits of a dex hybrid are:
- Rebug Selector works
- you can select between 2 debug menus (dex/cex)
- old homebrew does work (even old payloads ala hermes syscall 8)
- my favourite: codeunique works
- screenshot plugin works in retail mode and ingame with codeunique
- you even could run rebug update packages afterwards
(- maybe getting blu-ray/dvd movies on dex this way to work?)

the risks:
- it could give you rsod if switching vsh.self, but it is easily repairable by reinstalling firmware from recovery menu. i haven't encountered any so far with this setup

you need:
- a 3.55 dex mfw with peek and poke (converted)
- multiMAN cex latest version 04.05.00 (zip functionality)

the zips:
it is everything included you will need, even the official rebug packages, the selectors and lv2loader, but you can download them from rebug of course.

Instructions:

just install all the zip files by doubleclick on mmOS with the latest multiman version 04.05.00, which has zip capability. these will install to dev_flash automatically, but to the proper places, so no worries and no devblind needed
now you can copy the official rebug packages i have provided from "dev_flash/rebug/packages" (this folder is necessary) to your usb and install them. just select only one of the selectors (i prefer v 1.5 as it is "zoomed" on my screen) and lv2loader.

from now on, you can run rebug selector and choose different debug menus (i have included the cex qa menu as 2nd) or the retail xmb.
the advantage of cex qa menu is, it gives the option in system settings to backup all your files, or in debug settings the internal hdd clone feature.
on rebug mode there is no spoofer applied, as i have had problems on my first try and no app or game was running when i switched to spoofed rebug mode. it spit everytime some error, but dunno which one anymore, so rebug mode works same as normal mode !
rebug's reactpsn patches are also applied on rebug mode and retail mode.

to be able to run codeunique, just start installed lv2loader and wait on its blackscreen for few seconds. it will beep 3 times and reboot automatically. now after reboot you can run codeunique without any problem as long as you do not reboot.
this will also enable older homebrew such as multiman v2 with its bdemu2 payload, but on the other hand it will disable some debug functions like dex bdemu option. (to get everything to normal dex, just do a reboot)

to take screenshots with multiman or any supporting app, you have to run rebug selector and switch to retail xmb. this will reboot ps3 and your xmb will look most likely different than before. it will display all retail xmb entries but also remove debug settings option.
to take ingame screenshots with codeunique, you have to select first retail xmb with rebug selector and after its reboot you also have to run lv2loader. finally after the 2nd reboot you can run codeunique and take ingame (cheat) screenshots on a dex from ingame xmb
to get dex back just run rebug selector and choose either normal or rebug mode debug xmb

@lightyear
wtf? the zip installation works 100% and that i am sure of. i am using wave line zips for easy installation and switching in mmOS on dex and it also works like a treat. either dex or cex multiman

Excellent find mate.

(even old payloads ala hermes syscall 8)

I wonder if you can hybridize 4.x based DEX fw to work with syscalls. (although I suppose they need to be rewritten?)

[haxxxen]

nevermind. just blabla

think not this will work with later dex

[ryant001]

This fixed the problems i was having with reactpsn on dex, thanks a lot @haxxxen !

[GregoryRasputin]

lol i wouldn't touch it if Team PS360 member @lightyear had anything to do with it....

[haxxxen]

no, sorry. he has posted on ps3iso about this some days ago. but he said my zip installations wouldn't work. and as i have no account there i posted this to him on here

i am a random guy with my own random ideas...and this was done by me alone. this is why i didn't want a seperate thread as now many will call it fake or sth else. you DON'T have to use it. i have shared my findings, nothing more.
and besides, i am a rebug fan, too

[heywhosjake]

hey haxxen any word on whether BD Playback works with this yet (which is my only reason for not switching yet)

by the way love all your work you've done for helping make REBUG an even better FW

[haxxxen]

i've hoped somebody else would test this, as i have no bluray disc nor i want to play any on my ps3. i had bad experience with ps2 and movie discs, so i will leave this beforehand

maybe i will try a dvd movie, if i can find any (and i get my cooling mod finished)

oh, thanks. seems you know my tasks and my old alter ego...

lol yup I do

[theknight101]

something weird happened to my dex ps3 i used the zips and then updated to 4.21 and it still thinks it is a retail and wont open any homebrew but instead of saying game quit when you go into a application it gives the error you would get if you tried to open homebrew on a retail and i cant get bd emulater to work even on 4.21
