I don't want to use reactPSN. Nothing complicated about rap2rif, but apperantly, i need to download something that requires activation from PSN to have a proper act.dat, but one smarter guy told me, that activation changed in 3.60 FW and so i can't download anything requiring activation and can't have proper act.dat to use with rap2rif. I'm on 3.55 that's why.

Can't i use someone's reactPSN generated act.dat?

I created an extra dummy account and signed in with it, bought a free add-on, then it was good to go. (with idps, rap2rif, etc.)

Based on this information, before I created a new account etc. I decided to look at the rap2rif source code and also comparing my 'real' rif file with generated rif files.

Finds are:

Trying to run a PS2 classic (GTA3) in this case.
1) No rif file obviously complains and will not run.
2) With the output from rap2rif, I get error 80029515 when I try to launch it.
3) I fixed my rif file by adding the 8 bytes from offset 0x08 to 0x0F from one of my original rif files (these bytes are always the same for all my 'real' rif files) and it works perfectly.

I hope somebody else will find this useful, no need to create new accounts etc, just fix the generated rif file by replacing these 8 bytes.

yes, thats it, and is not universal...if your themes are edat 4.0.0 (look at the end of the file with a hex editor) and you are on 341/355 cfw you are out of luck...this new edats dont work as they are on lower fw...

It's 3.3.0, it must be my act.dat then i guess.

By not universal, you mean that it's different for everyone?

[catalinnc]

yes...make sure the files are in the correct folders...idps ( no extension) in .ps3 folder and act.dat in .ps3/exdata folder...
