PS3 Demo Downloader v1.0 (Preview - 4.82 OFW XMB Mod (for upcoming PS3Xploit v3) by DeViL303 & pink1)

Here is an XMB MOD for the upcoming PS3Xploit v3, as we wait patiently the developer's on the Ps3Xploit Team continue working hard to polish up various elements to v3 of the exploit that is tailored to PS3 3k Models + (NoN-CFW Compatible Ps3 Console's). As the official PS3Xploit Team continues their work ps3 developer's @DeViL303 & @pink1 have a new XMB feature for OFW 4.82 once the exploit (v3) is Released, The XMB as shown in the included video allows you to download demo version of the games, just simple demo downloads without having to enter and navigate through the PS Store, Very user-friendly delete the demo and then quickly and easily re-download the demo at any time, while browsing much faster the vast selection offered in the PS Store, all directly from the convenience of the XMB.

Introducing Demo Downloader

• 
  This is an XMB mod that myself and pink1 created over last few days, Its fairly simple, it allows demoes to be downloaded from Sony servers without using the PS Store.
  
  
  
  It has a couple of pros and cons that I can think of like
  
  Pros:
  
  • Will work on OFW 4.82 once we have a way to write an xml and rco to flash.
  • Is 100% stable as it uses OFW functions, no custom plugins.
  • Allows users without a PSN account to get demoes.
  • Will work on banned consoles.
  • v1.0 just includes EU demoes.
  • Future version could include demos from ALL regions.
  Cons:
  
  • No background download due to OFW method used.
  • Installation will require writing to flash so there is a soft brick risk if it fails (requiring reinstall of FW).
  • No different than getting the demo on your PC, and then installing it via Install Package Files.
  
  Anyway Demo Downloader v1.0 is finished, but its only for OFW 4.82, this mod will be FW dependant as it requires a rco edit, So we will probably not be releasing versions for all CFWs as it just causes issues when people install it on wrong FW, people just cant read warnings and descriptions I might add it to my other mod -CFW Extras category- for Rebug someday.
  
  Massive thanks to @pink1 for all the help with this, without his scripting knowledge I would probably still be writing the xml , well actually I would have just gave up.
  
  We will release DD v1.0 a few days after Team PS3Xploit release their Xploit v3.0 as that will be required to install it initially, all going to plan.
  
  Side note, I had another idea for a similar XMB item or a sub category within this item: we could have a game update downloader too on the XMB, Im not sure if users would find that useful or if its even possible but it should be. Games updates would need to be divided alphabetically or something and by region too maybe as there would be a lots of them.
  

 

Will this work on dex 4.81 rebug

No, but it will work on Rebug 4.82 REX/D-REX as those have support for HAN Toolbox built in, Demo Downloader is a part of HAN Toolbox.

Support could be added to Rebug 4.81 if you don't mind editing your xmls.

 

hi
can it works on Ferrox 4.82 CFW ?

No, this has been released as part of HAN Toolbox, only supported on rebug 4.82.2. Support can be added by editing Ferrox xmls on flash to include the Toolbox query, then you would need to repack the Toolbox for cfw as its signed for HAN.

huum, don't really know what to do, i don't want to do bullshit into CFW files

Well only one way to learn.

Copy your category_game.xml from dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/ to your PC. You can use FTP or copy it to usb using any filemanager.

Best to keep a backup of the original in case you make a mistake.

Once on PC open it with Notepad++ or similar editor.

Add this with the other queries near the top, the place in the list of queries will be the toolbox position on XMB, so put it down beside package files entry.

<Query
  class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
  key="han_toolbox_xmb"
  src="xmb://localhost/dev_hdd0/game/HANTOOLBX/USRDIR/han_toolbox_xmb.xml#han_toolbox_xmb_main"/>

Save the xml and copy it back to dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/, then reboot.

Note: dev_blind is the same as dev_flash except it has write permission. You can use webMAN MOD, or Multiman to enable it.

Then install THIS pkg.

 

thanks you Devil, I was badly barred, if I wanted to do it alone.

 

very great, works like a charm
these my sons who will be happy
