SACD Ripper PS3 installation

There are three main steps to install the PS3 SACD Ripper:

Install a custom firmware (see instructions below) that allows patching and the installation of custom applications.
Download or Compile the sacd-ripper.pkg file and install this on your PS3
Download the PS3 keys and use this on first time installation (see instructions below)

Custom Firmware Installation

Make sure you have a PS3 model with SACD compatible player. For more information on what model specifically go to: http://ps3sacd.com/faq.html#_Toc180147566
You need to install a custom firmware to be able to rip SACDs. At this time of writing installing custom PS3 firmware isn't possible for firmware 3.56 and upwards. So in order to install the correct firmware you'll have to make sure your firmware is lower or equal to 3.55. A downgrade for a firmware higher than 3.55 is NOT available.
The custom firmware that is needed must be 3.55 and should allow patching. Most custom firmwares like Kmeaw, Rebug, etc.. all facilitate this. Google for "kmeaw cfw" and you'll find several download links.
Custom Firmware installation steps:

Plug a USB stick into your computer
Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP.
Plug the USB stick into your PS3
Navigate to Settings Tab
Choose System Update
Choose Update via Storage Media
It will say it found Version 3.55
Choose OK
Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions

If the steps above did not work for you, then you are probably on 3.55 already. You will have to do a recovery menu mode installation:

Plug a USB stick into your computer
Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP.
Plug the USB stick into your PS3
Power down the PS3 through the menu
Now press and HOLD the power button, the system will startup and shutdown again
Release the power button, then press & HOLD power again, you'll hear one beep followed by two consecutive beeps
Release power then follow the on-screen instructions. You're now in the recovery menu
Connect the USB device and select "System Update."
Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions

SACD Ripper/Extract Usage Instructions

From version 0.3.6 and upwards SACD Ripper has two modes of operation:

Daemon mode (selected by default if you don't make a selection within 5 seconds after booting SACD Ripper).
ISO extraction mode (the previous versions of SACD Ripper allowed you to extract DSDIFF, DSF directly, but this feature has been removed in favor of local extraction using SACD Extract).

SACD Extract (available on Windows, Linux, OS X) allows you to extract individual tracks from ISO files when operated in file mode or from the SACD Ripper when operated in Daemon mode.
The following options are available for the sacd_extract commandline tool:

Code:

Usage: sacd_extract [options] [outfile]
  -2, --2ch-tracks                : Export two channel tracks (default)
  -m, --mch-tracks                : Export multi-channel tracks
  -e, --output-dsdiff-em          : output as Philips DSDIFF (Edit Master) file
  -p, --output-dsdiff             : output as Philips DSDIFF file
  -s, --output-dsf                : output as Sony DSF file
  -I, --output-iso                : output as RAW ISO
  -c, --convert-dst               : convert DST to DSD
  -C, --export-cue                : Export a CUE Sheet
  -i, --input[=FILE]              : set source and determine if "iso" image,
                                    device or server (ex. -i192.168.1.10:2002)
  -P, --print                     : display disc and track information

Help options:
  -?, --help                      : Show this help message
  --usage                         : Display brief usage message

Usage examples

Extract all stereo tracks to multiple DSDIFF files and convert all DST to DSD:

Code:

$ sacd_extract -2 -p -c -i"Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO"

Extract all multi channel tracks from the given ISO to multiple DSF files and convert all DST to DSD:

Code:

$ sacd_extract -2 -s -i"Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO"

Extract a single DSDIFF/DSD Multi-Channel Edit Master track from the given ISO and convert all DST to DSD:

Code:

$ sacd_extract -m -e -c -i"Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO"

Extract a single ISO file from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and Port is displayed on startup). You can use SACD Extract again on the ISO file to extract the DSD data (see the three examples above):

Code:

$ sacd_extract -I -i192.168.1.10:2002

Extract all multi channel tracks from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and Port is displayed on startup) to multiple DSDIFF files and keep the DST format:
/code]$ sacd_extract -m -p -i192.168.1.10:2002[/code]

Generate a sacd_log.txt file that contains the ISRC codes which should/could be used for ISO verification:

Code:

$ sacd_extract -P -i192.168.1.10:2002 >sacd_log.txt
