PSN Liberator - Convert PSN Content to Disc Format

Not all PSN-games will work when they are converted to disc. It's a matter of TRY & ERROR ! (Sometimes it works without problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all, sometimes with freezes/errors/glitches)

You can get FAR BETTER SUCCESS RATE rate IF you give the option for Resign eboot.bin to Disc Backup for 4.21+ CFWs for those in fact most users using 4.xx CFWs now a days

You have a excellent concept you can also incorporate mult-boot discs options as well "PS3_GM01 ....." which i still use with hands for making my games collection multiple edited ids lic.dat single file. best for those making 2 to 10 bds in one or even more i guess.

You're sure about this ?... Even if you resign to 4.21+ the 4.21 private key used to sign is in fact only a renamed 3.55 private key, because private keys>3.55 are unknown.
But i must assume i don't know that much about these things so it might be a difference i'm not aware of. So... gimmie some light please !

Excellent work as always. Just converted to folder_format to check but haven't test it on ps3 yet. I have few Qs. just for my knowledge: I have noticed that the conversion don't have LICDIR/LIC.DAT. Choosing and selecting PSN game unlock file (*.pkg/*edat) option/file what exactly does it do? does it automatically copy edat file to ps3 hdd0 exdata folder? when executing the game or it used for something else
Thanks & Regards.

It create a .pkg file, install this .pkg and it will copy edat to exdata folder

Private key is a completely different key Than the one used to sign games. Private key sign the firmware, games are signed with appldr keys that aren't updated since 4.21. So you can sign an eboot with 4.21 keys and it will run on any 4.21+ CFW.

the tool i were creating used 3.41 or 3.55 keys to resign... every game i tried worked after converted to iso. if this wouldnt work, then disc based games from 3.55 era wouldnt work either. also multidisc folder is documented on wiki i was reading about it, but before i got to finish my script i got this full time job, so i dont have time to do hardly anything programming wise ;(

the more i thought about multidisc structure, the more i disliked it. it will mount disc icons and you wont be able to tell what is what until you actually highlight the disc and let it load the icon. imho its better just the way it is unless... someone can figure out how to load game icons instead of that static disc image icon

im pretty positive it doesnt matter. if it did then 3.55 or less disc based games would have problems. heh... theres no way to replace the eboot on a physical disc so those keys have to work. all you are basically doing is digitally signing the file, the rest of the machine instructions are still inside that file and can still be decrypted.

the tool i were creating would let the user just drag and drop a psn game folder to create a launchable iso. i got stuck on patching the param.sfo so i learned how to properly read and patch it(from psdevwiki). but i have not had time to code it up, or the rest of the tool either.

That's exactly what i thought about it... but may be [MENTION=1270]vic[/MENTION] can give us some clues.

BTW... i'm wondering that you have a 100% success rate in converting to disc... may be you're just lucky or u've done something i'm not aware of.
Here are 2 titles i remember i had probs with... (hopefully someone here has these games as well and can confirm the effects i got):
Unfinished Swan - Works, but has massive graphical glitches
Astro Tripper - Gives an error stating you have to reinstall the game

Look for the "resign_xxx" executables in "tools" subfolder. These resigning-tools are pretty new but very easy to use. Just call them from cli without arguments to get a help page.
Compared to scetool:
1. No need to decrypt->fixelf->encrypt
2. Header of Selfs will have a FW-version-value (scetool resigned selfs have always 0.00)
3. Output size is always the same as input size

But read yourself in it's release thread.
From my point of view these bunch of tools should be released here as well, cause nobody seems to know them. I guess i'll ask 4 permission to release them here.

Well I was giving the information from my personal experience. I'm not getting 100% success rate as i mentioned in my post if you check "FAR BETTER SUCCESS RATE" NOT 100%. I use the tool TrueAncestor SELF Resigner for the eboots. some games i experienced resign for 3.55 doesn't work on my Rebug 4.65 don't remember all games but one was worms collection psn for sure you have a option for 4.21+ in application so sometimes if the game for 3.55 eboot doesn't work i try 4.21+ sometimes it works and sometime it doesn't work at all. so its the matter of hit and trial. You will also notice the difference in size if you resign eboot with two options I have no idea why. I'm really getting hard time for new psn games to work in folder/iso format now a days. I'm doing some more research on this and will get back to you.

Multiboot is excellent option If someone wants a collection of same category games like Far cry 1,2,3,4 in one, beautify with custom icons etc. If you have large collection of games both BD and PSN (converted) using game managers or even using webman scrolling whole bunch of list and even loading time to show up from external drives is a lot. Its all matter of personal preference to how someone wants to keep their games collection. Its very easy even easier then other options. You can find more info by searching Google "ps3 developer wiki PARAM.SFO" and look for "Blu-Ray disc structure details" its really a nice document and it has all the information you need for "PS3_GM01" and other possible options too.

Thanks & Regards

- The 100% question wasn't releated to your post.

- Because multiboot-discs are not only for PSN-games i guess it would be better to create a seperate tool 4 it.

Rudi

EDIT:
Regardless if it makes sense or not (and it wasn't that much work at all) i've added the option to select between 3.55/4.21-resigning.
Here you go with
PSN Liberator v0.93B

Whoever will try it: Please let us know the results if u use it with some problem games

I tried Unfinished Swan by converted only the Eboot from a fix pkg with CFW Eboot & PKG Resigner by RazorX and it's working very good.

Could you try to convert it to disc with PSN Liberator ? ... Just to see if you'll got the same behaviour as me ?

ok i tried to convert the game with your app but the app give me error about there is no rap(rif) file.
so i played my game again from my fat32 external hard-disk and it was ok, then i try to play it by PS3_NET_Server from my pc and here i face your same problem i think.
so try to play your game from an external hdd and see if there is a problem.

my cfw is habib 4.66 cobra + multiman 4.66 + The Unfinished Swan [NPEB00395] with edat file
 
Thx 4 trying... so you think streaming could be a prob with some of the converted games ?... Sounds strange !
But anyway... i usually stream my games... i'll try playing game from internal/external and report back.

i was trying with your PSN Liberator v0.94B to convert Life is Strange PSN game with .edat
game working perfectly but still trial, how i can make it to full game ?
my PS3 is on OFW 4.53
 
How did u get the edat-file (and may be rif-file) from exdata-directory ?... Afaik it's not possible to access exdata-directory being on OFW !??
Some games still need activation files in exdata-directory. Unfortuanally i don't have "Live is strange" so i can't take a look at it.... but if ure lucky someone else her has it and can give u a hint.

And may be i didn't say it clear enough in the readme, but PSN Liberator is not intended for ODE-PS3s. It might work in some cases on OFW but i guess mostly it won't.

Rudi
