But right now, I'm working on getting SSL support integrated into PSL1GHT for Curl. The current toolchain compiles it without SSL support and that's not good enough because all Service providers (Dropbox, Google) etc use Oauth over HTTPS. I'll post more here, if I have something worthy to share. If anybody can help me with PSL1GHT HTTPS support. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing your progress! Showtime's dev has actually implemented dropbox in their app but they are not keen on this dropbox app idea. I really hope another developer could jump on board to help you! Not sure if @condorstrike would be keen to aid you.

Also, currently Estwald (Dev of Iris Manager) is also maintaining PSDK3 v2. If you can contact him, it will be great.

Here it is his github

Here is another of my crazy experiments ... a PC based approach of gingerbread's idea...
http://aldostools.org/temp/PS3FtpDataSync.rar

This basically a proof-of-concept, so not much features.

Cool tool! Why not package it with BSD or implement the features in The PS3 LOGO. Users could Click "Download PS3 Savedata to PC" The program will only look for the savedata in the home folder One way down-sync

Another crazy concept. Would be upload selected cheats to PS3. When users select their desired save, and right-click "Upload Save to PS3", the program will upload the save to PS3. One way up-sync.

I have updates to give out. Firstly, I have deviated midway from using Dropbox as the service to "Google Drive". Interacting with dropbox requires RESTful APIs that work over HTTP and this needs to happen through an application and not a browser on the Playstation 3. Goolge Drive has much better support for applications on devices and I'm a better fan of OAuth2.

Apart from that, I've done major progress with PSL1GHT. I've successfully compiled PolarSSL with PSL1GHT and libCurl has been recompiled with SSL support. This was necessary because all online services work through HTTPS these days and it's safer anyway.

I'll let a screen shot do the talking instead of saying what's done:



Please don't expect a release yet as I need to figure out some things with Google Drive like file syncing and patching/revisions.

Amazing progress!! Amazing work!!

I have also used google drive. It works in a similar fashion to dropbox. Google Drive give 5 GB free for all users.

1. Take note that the the PS3 App has the be aware of user account.
2. There should be 2 buttons. "Sync All Save Data Down from Cloud' "Sync All Save Data Up to Cloud'.
3. Selective Save syncing could be added later in versions.
4. There should be a setting where users could set on which ACC to Download from. "0000000X\savedata"
Also, there should be a setting where users could set on which ACC to Upload to. "0000000X\savedata"
So in the Cloud (Google Drive), it would be "PS3 Save Data\0000000X\savedata\'

If it is just savedata, it will get messed up and things will get overwritten.

Thanks for your work!!

It "is" a standalone app.

hehe, easy on the features . I am aware of the multi user requirement. I'll put that in, when I've programmed at least one way sync completely i.e. from PS3 to GD.

No problem. I was just highlighting the fundamental functions. I could design some UI mockup. If it would be helpful to you. I have some vision for this application.

@gingerbread . Its nice to see you stick to your idea. Good luck with it.

@M.H.A.Q.S. How is the progress? Hope everything is fine.

[M.H.A.Q.S.]

Sorry for not posting here for some time. I have a full time job that doesn't let me dedicate the time it requires to push the project swiftly. I'm hardly able to give it 2-4 hours on the weekends.

I am currently in the process of defining use cases for the application, given the UI in the first post. The current work involves writing a sync state framework that can detect changes in user saves for either first time or returning users. This state needs to be preserved somewhere like a save file that doesn't get corrupted. Otherwise, querying the google servers for every request can get really slow.

Anyhow, I'll try to allocate more time to the project as I also want it to progress faster. Hopefully, once it takes some shape, I'll put up an alpha build for people to test.
