PS3 New to PS3 modding - how do I upload an app to brewology?

[ESCAdrummer]

Hi there,

I'm new here in PSX place and also in brewology. I'm trying to register an account in brewology but I never receive the activation email. Do I need to contact someone?

I made an updated version of the PS3 cloud drive homebrew app because the current one wasn't working for me, and was looking forward to share it there. But it looks like brewology is closed for any new accounts?

Is there a place here to share that app? Basically I took the original source code by the original dev and updated the API calls and the google cloud service needed to get it to work.

Cheers,

Oh, that's nice! I have a fork of it too, and I've been postponing updating the API for ages XD

After registration, can't you submit a resource? I'm not sure how it works, my confirmation email never arrived

Anyway, you can talk to @aldostools. I think he has elevated privileges there.

Yeah, I only updated the main API calls for authentication and created the google cloud service with the drive API. Looks like Google drive has now a v3 of the API but the v2 is still up and running so I kept all those pointing to v2.

Thanks for the contact. I'll reach out to him. My confirmation email also never arrived.

The requirements are simple:
1- Make a post here or on Github with a description of the software, features, usage, changes made and pictures or video.
2- Provide the link of the binaries in PKG format. Other formats may not be accepted.
3- Provide a link with the source code of software and evidence of the changes made (commits). This is mainly to validate that the software does not contain malicious code.

If the software has good feedback from the users, it will be published on Brewology.

Other admins could have other criterias....

Thank you! Will work on that and report back!

Aaaaand here it is:

Pkg file: https://github.com/ESCAdrummer/ps3-cloud-drive/blob/master/ps3-cloud-drive-mod-escadrummer-1.00.pkg
Repo with Readme file and description of changes: https://github.com/ESCAdrummer/ps3-cloud-drive/tree/master

I'll see if I can upload a few pics later to github.

@ESCAdrummer is it possible to add cloud services such as RD or premiumize, etc.... as well with your app? I use premiumize for all my cloud storage needs these days.

Thanks for the brew.

Thanks for the brew.

I took a look at premiumize and it has an API that can allow the same operations as the Google Drive API (not sure about RD though it should have)... Looks interesting... I think it would be simpler to do this same app with premiumize because you can enter your API key and client ID from your premiumize account, and there'd be no need for me to keep a service running in my Google Cloud Account (or a limit in the number of requests without having to pay).

I'll definitely check it out!

Full disclosure: I'm an absolute newbie on this hehe, I will need to learn how to build from that code from the original dev and then continue from there (create forms, get your user and API key, have a selector to decide if going with Drive or Premiumize, etc.). But anyways, I want to learn to hopefully do other apps I have in mind... PS3 is my favourite console and it was just recently that I discovered all this even existed. Gotta start with something simple before getting to more complicated stuff!

Thank you for your update. As I cannot test this application myself at this moment, I would like the feedback from a trusted user in this forum or moderator to know if the tool works and if it's safe to include it in Brewology.

I can see that the changes mainly involved the update of some URIs for the Google API.

The API is working well

I recommend fixing the aspect ratio of ICON0.PNG and changing the font used to display the device code and URL, as it's hard to read.

Also, I don't remember but does the app always ask for the code on every launch, or is that something new with the Google API?

See mine, i changed the background and the icon to look more modern

Ah, on the second launch the app asks for the code again, and it crashes on the FINDING DIFFERENCES screen (when no differences are found). This seems to be an original bug, could you take a look at it?

It would also be nice to have an option to retrieve the saves from the server and automatically rebuild the database.

 

[ESCAdrummer]

Thanks for the feedback, LuanTeles! Much appreciated! I'll check about the bug you mentioned. And yes, I saw the code is just comparing and uploading only but there is no option to retrieve. This is what I'm working on for next. I have 2 PS3s, one in my basement and one in my office and I just want to sync the saves between both after some gaming. That's what motivated this whole project.

Currently, I think it pulls the local console user id from the saved games folder so if these two don't match between different consoles, then it will upload to different places. I want to do the comparison of files based on the account that's logged in and then merge the differences between both.
