PS3 Ps3Xploit 3.0 (Preview)- New Features for SuperSlim & all non-cfw comp. Ps3 Models

UPDATE: RELEASED See the News Coverage >>>>> HERE <<<<<
What a journey it has been in hacking the PlayStation 3 despite all the progress the community has made over the years, there has been those NoN-CFW Compatible PS3's (SuperSlim and some later Slim Models) unable to join the party on system hacks/homebrew to make most of their PS3 Hardware While CFW is not a likely option to ever happen on those models, the hole in 4.81/2 provided by PS3Xploit has brought some hope to hacks on those models as it provides a window for hackers/developers to explore. As the PS3Xploit team continues their exploration on the PS3 they have stumbled on some good news and also some bad news. The bad news is that the team still has not solved the Homebrew hurdle for those models and is proving to be a tall task that may not be achieved, but let me follow that up with some really exciting news, as the team has made yet another great discovery and this time around it's for SuperSlims (& late Slims) while no native Homebrew Support has been achieved as mentioned, there is some other interesting hacks that make those models more desirable with some great new features!!!! ​

This exploit is only relying on userland exploitation, while not a kernel exploit there are some clever features coming to the table as the PS1 / PS2 / PSP Emulators (within the ps3 firmware) have been unlocked for digital backups and also the ability of backing up your PS3 Games and turning them into digital media playable straight from the XMB, User's familiar with the Injections methods in 4.70 OFW will be a step ahead with those same preparations (using TABR) and the quirks like requiring a "game update" in order to backup your game are required. Cinavia protection removed for HDD Content is also a feature that should be appearing in this release as well, we should be seeing this released sometime in March, but there is no concrete date as of yet. Additional details will be emerging as we get closer to the release and additional detailslike a short interview with one of the devs of the team can be seen below that provides some additional bits of information about this hack.

  About the Video >>>:Tested on CECHE01 w/ OFW 4.82
  

  1. Verifying the firmware is the latest OFW,
  2. Downloading a demo PS3 game from PSN
  3. Running the original
  4. Enabling IPF [install Package Files]
  5. Verifying the mod content cannot be installed
  6. HAXing it to allow custom PKG
  7. Installing the custom mod
  8. Running the modded content.​

  
  What will this future exploit provide?
  
  • "Install PKG Files" unlocked on XMB (Retail / Debug PKGs,) *No PS3 Homebrew Support
    
  • PS1 Emulator Support
    
  • PS2 Emulator Support
  • PSP Emulator Support
  • PS3 Backup Support (Convert your PS3 Game to Digital PKG - npdrm* (requires game update for disc game backups to work))
  • New Resigning Tools
  What you need to know about the legacy PlayStation emulators?
  
  • PS1 emulation is very good on the PS3, most games will play fine
  • Ps2 emulation is hit and miss on the PS3 (slightly more then half PS2 titles will work fine)
    
  • PsP emulation is roughly about a 40% success rate for the PS3
  • PS3 Backups - Require a Game Update

  Here was a short interview with one of the devs of PS3Xploit Team ( @bguerville )​
  
  
  
  What type of exploit is this project based on?
  

  • The project is relying on userland exploitation only.

  
  What's the word on Homebrew (HEN) for NoN-CFW Compatible Models?
  

  • Given the results of our research so far, we do not think that we can solve the PS3 homebrew hurdle from userland (unless we find some unexpected vulnerability, chances of that are ultra slim though!). It's clear that s#ny"s implementation makes running homebrew difficult without defeating lv2 whereas they have been careless with various other aspects such as npdrm handling....

  
  Do you see any more possibilities in Userland exploitation?
  

  • There is actually so much more that could be done from userland in my opinion. More potential features could be potentially added...

  
  Future Plans on this exploit?
  

  • I don't think we will be the ones developing the technique further & adding features. It will be up to the community devs to do it... This project will actually be provided as a base for the community, it gives users some basic features that have been denied to them on non-cfw compatibles thus far but more importantly imho it provides devs with methods they can replicate to offer new features for those consoles. We are hoping devs will update their existing tools to support ofw & maybe improve the project we are to release soon.
  • We will not be offering technical support on this project (except for interested Devs). We hope the community will take care of it.
  • The new ROP framework functions I wrote these past weeks basically take care of all the javascript implementation of the rop chains, no complicated unescape strings & juggling with long hex chains anymore, all that stuff is now generated automatically in the background. It makes using ROP extremely easy in practice BUT... devs will still need to use IDA & reverse vsh or modules in order to find patches & implement new features. ppc seems daunting but like I said before any decent C/C++ dev could learn enough to get their first patches done if they just spent a couple of weeks working with IDA, ProDG & the pett tutorial.. We would make ourselves available to help as well.

  
  Will user's be able to create their own Custom packages if tools are supported?​
  • Yes, users should be able to make emu pkgs. Some Ps2 homebrew will also be supported that way. Ps1 & ps2 are currently fully supported. PSP support still need a little work but we believe this will be supported as well once the release is ready.

UPDATE NEW VIDEO - SNES RUNNING VIA PS2 Emulation:

Stay tuned to psx-place.com as details mature on this exploit and its pending release!!​

 

So I managed to sign in a second user with a throwaway account and activated it as primary on OFW 4.81. Just have one question. Does it need to be user no 1 or can it be any user as long as one of them is activated as primary?

Can be any user, just you will need to use that user when running the xploit.

Did you really sign in on 4.81 OFW?

 

Yeah I'm surprised no one mentioned it but you can use a proxy server to bypass (spoof that you are on the latest firmware) and sign in

 

Oh yeah, I knew you could do that if you were on version below latest, but I thought it only worked for a week or 2 after a new update came out, obviously still works. Cool.

 

can you install pkg dlcs like map packs for bo2 and other games??

 

What disc games does not contain a Update File anyhow, Can it be that many? and if so can it be that many quality games? has to be a hand full of games at most. Just curious if anyone asking these questions actually has a disc game that has no update. If so please share the game title. Might even be useful for conducting a list in the Ps3Xploit Forum

probably most localized English version of RPG's though it's Japanese counterparts have updates. My Tales of graces F have no game update.

Hi! Just a quick question: I can unlock the pkg install files on 4.81? For installing dlc and mods to the backup games i already have.

dlc... maybe
mods... it depends on the mods. Mods that don't edit the eboot/self is possible, but if it does it won't work.

 

To back up a disc game it requires a game update because this hack essentially bypasses npdrm. Which is not the protection used on a disc but rather the type for a game update.. So that is why an update is needed and that is the procedure (in a nut shell) for backing your disc content. If you own a disc game and there is no update, there is possibly solutions for you but then that is when we go off the payment and go off roading and we are not looking to go off road but instead we are showing you what legitimate features are coming. beyond that nothing else will be detailed.

Thanks for your explanation. Now I understand it's possible but it is not allowed to be told here.

Actually there are still many disc games didn't contain an update file, especially many Japanese games.
For example: (I only list some games, that all of their JP/EU/US versions don't have an update)
Eternal Sonata
Tales of vesperia
Tales of Grace F
Tales of Xillia
Kingdom Hearts 1.5
Kingdom Hearts 2.5

and many so on....

 

Is there any chance that this exploit will run reactPSN? Thanks.

The Japanese version of Tales of graces F does't have a update either.

 

Yes, but it must be formatted to FAT32 and max 2TB. Most will work after that, PS3 cant supply much power though.

since there's a limitation in copying large pkg on FAT 32 external hard drive how can one go around it?

 

Will debug settings be enabled?

Is there going to be a way to copy games to the hard drive threw a disc

 

anyone on OFW 4.81, stay on 4.81 and use this to sign in and activate as primary as you need it for some of the things in the exploit to work. use this tutorial to do it.

1. Download this proxy server.
2. Download and install .net Framework 1.1 from here
3. Type ipconfig in cmd and get your computer's local ip address . example here
4. Run PS3.ProxyServer.GUI as admin and paste the ip address there
5. Setup manual connection on your ps3 and use the same address and the port in the proxy settings.
6. In PS3.ProxyServer.GUI select ps3 mode and start.
7. Check for update on ps3 and it should say that you are on the latest one.
8. Create a user and sign in and then use a throwaway account to sign in and activate system in account management.

Note: only for 4.81 users only and if it doesn't work pm me. Try disabling your firewalls as well.

Usually the case ..

No, This does not run any PS3 homebrew applications.

Confirmed to be currently working? (Edit: Answer in this comment)

Will debug settings be enabled?

Some debug setting may be possible on 4.81.

Not through the PS3 directly you will need to rip your game disc without the PS3.
Then there will be tools to prepare the files to a pkg format and then those are installable via the XMB and then will load via the XMB. files after pkg is installed will be the internal HDD

 

Yeah I just did it and it works but I want someone else to check it. BTW if someone wants to use it on other firmwares, they need to change the the updatelist. Here are some of them. Alternatively you can use webcache to get all of them. Ask me on how to use them.

Since on 4.81 you won't be able to use psn, you don't need a seperate psn account, just need the ps3 user that had psn activated at least once. In this scenario even your psn content will only work if you use the ps3xploit enabler.

We are focusing more on the 4.82 front since most people updated and psn>fake save owner

Focus on 4.81 as well <3

 

@junaid

Your Proxy server file isn't working in 7zip can you repack?

 

Is there any chance that this exploit will run reactPSN? Thanks.

It does what reactpsn does but with our tool and exploit
Reactpsn evolved a lot. I assume you mean klic(rap file)

 

Come on bro Use winrar or this online extractor. Added the link aswell to the zip

 

@junaid

Proprietary file formats uhhhhhh.... WinRar... uhhhhhh not since 1999

Thanks for the re-up

 

Good stuff.

 

Hi. Can this be used to have paid avatars? Will the ps2 games be copied to PS2ISO folder like in cfw?
Can I play safely and gain trophies with the games I copied, on the main account?

 

What's 'fake save owner'?
