I don't see an issue there... could you explain it more?

The "Decrypt PFD" is grayed out on purpose to prevent a double-decryption of the files, which would cause a data corruption (same as a double encryption).

I don't gray out the "Encrypt PFD" (although I should), but I show a WARNING message when the program prompts for confirmation, if the data is not decrypted.

Anyway in build 2.3.3, the Decrypt/Encrypt buttons now show the option to Decrypt/Encrypt all the files (default) or just the manually selected files.

Thanks for the update!

Actually the "Decrypt PFD" function in the right-click menu should only be grey out if the the key is set to green. That way, I can right-click other save and decrypt them.

I am aware that the "Decrypt PFD >" is not grey out on other saves. Which is great. I think the right-click "Decrypt PFD" menu should also follow the same behaviour.

Thanks aldo!

Sorry I misread your previous post... yeah, the option in right-click should have the same behavior.
Try 2.2.4

@aldostools and anyone else i am having a problem..
first of all, thanks for making this nice gui interface

i seem to have a weird problem... when i right click on your program, it will wait about 1 second, and when the menu comes up my computer makes a 'click'... my speakers are off, i think it is the hard drive doing something?

it seems ridiculous maybe, but, it has not happened in any other program as far as i know... just this one...

and, the sound alone is no real problem, but when click on any of the save in the list, it becomes 'UNREADABLE', one by one, each save that i click on, the key will disappear and change to 'unreadable', and go red.

maybe the two things are connected? maybe i have a problem with my computer that only this program has issues with?

all the keys are in the files, i have used various updates of the program, but they all seem the same.

i ONCE was able to click on a save file and it did NOT turn red/unreadable. then i closed the app, and it resumed being weird again.. haha

maybe the program reads the disk in a funny way, i have no idea, but this bug i am getting is very strange... i will restart my computer and see if it helps!

thanks for your time

The program scans the folder in this way:
- First read all the directories in the specified folder
- Then for each folder, checks if it has a PARAM.PFD and PARAM.SFO
- If the PARAM.SFO is not found, it tries to create a generic one using the template.sfo
- If the PARAM.SFO fails, it marks the entry as UNREADABLE
- If the PARAM.SFO is found, get the TITLEID and checks if the secure_file_id is found in games.conf
- If the secure_file_id is not found, it run pfdtool to check if the save is UNPROTECTED

So, yes it reads the disk in a funny way

Now your problem looks like the PARAM.SFO of your saves are corrupted... try making a new backup of the saves stored in your PS3 and try with the latest version.

thank you for taking your time to reply
hmmm ok, sure, thanks for the information!
but i doubt that would cause my weird error that i get..

here is a video i made of what i am experiencing...
tinypic.com/r/zin4f9/6
so, this is not a bug? or am i making a stupid mistake? is something is wrong with my .sfo files?

Try installing the program in C:\Tools\ and run the app as Administrator... when you click on a save item, the program runs pfdtool.exe -l "path" to list the files encrypted in the PFD. If there is not any response, the program shows the "UNREADABLE" message as shown in the video.

The other possible cause is that the path where the program is installed contains a space character and your system is not finding the pfdtool.exe

However I tested installing in a path with space character on Windows 7, and it worked properly... but it could be working fine only on Windows 7.

[kmsi063]

i'm using windows 7, and i tried installing it in a place with no spaces in the path, and just the same happened...
hmm.....
i will see if the command tools run on my computer by themself. - (if so, it is not a problem with your program! it is a problem with flatz's tool or something)

thanks for your help though


-edit. I FIXED IT!!!!!!
maybe it was posted somewhere... i might have missed it...
when i went to run the command line tool, it said error... no MSVCR100.dll etc.
so i simply installed 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)' and now everything is working perfectly

do you think your gui tool can see if this error comes up, or search if this dll is on the system, and if not, give an error? since it was i did not realize that i was missing something, and i am sure it must happen to some others.. anyway, thanks for your help.

Found another small issue, I used to be able to use the "Update PFD" to update the .PFDs of UNPROTECTED Saves, It was faster for me personally, rather then swapping the .SFOs, I can no longer do this since 2.2.4 I believe.

Both issues have been addressed in BruteForce SaveData 2.4.0

Download it from usual link
