Several news sites are reporting that the group DUPLEX broke NPDRM protection.

They released a 3.41 /3.55 fix for Hunted -The Demons Forge - here is a c/p from their nfo

"This release contains a custom pkg (much smaller) with updates making
the release work on both 3.55 and 3.41 !
In order to get this to work on 3.41 we had to decrypt
NPDRM on this one. Yes, NPDRM defeated (eboot.elf included as proof)."


Don't know if it works (don't have it to test), but seems legit.

So another big steps is done! !!!!

heres there .nfo :

if they get round to it, which i think they will

and if it turns out to be real

[jeffers07]

fingers crossed then

[2die4]

good and this could be real duplex are a big release group on the torrent usenet scene

it is real but they have not got the 3.61 or 3.60 keys they resigned a retail 3.55 pkg to work with 3.41


so DRM can also be removed from psn purchases

[mediaboom]

npdrm cracked but u need the update pkg file to decrypt it since dirt 3 and portal 2 r 3.60 games dont we need the keys also. we only need keys unless update is compiled with sdk 3.50 or less

[Pockets69]

Well i ll be taking it with a pinch of salt, last time someone from the scene had something (PARADOX ISO LOADER) it ended up being nothing!
I know DUPLEX is a well respected group, but so was PARADOX.

We tested the updated pkg and yes it was not sdk360. Sony has since removed the .pkg ; So we packed it in the release. Patch Instructions: Unrar, install the .pkg, open and play with Multimann Patch Notes....... the patch was a offical Sony .pkg and intended for USA region. Since this is the USA update it will ONLY work with the USA game :o OMG!!! BUT, IF YOU MUST PLAY DUPLEX version with this USA update you must edit several factors of the param.sfo (dumb) PSFR33 bringing you prestreet retail always From PSFR33: Looking for .eu sites. no colos.
