Hi all
Finally PS3Lock v0.6 is finished
PS3Lock is an authentication-system for the PlayStation 3.
An personal password protects your PS3 against unauthorized access or gives you a restricted access.
[video=youtube;6wbQCPaQeVc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wbQCPaQeVc[/video]Video is from v0.4
Screenshots are up to date from v0.6
How it works
After installation, at first boot you will be prompted to define a password (min. 2 digits, max. 10 digits).
To set the password you can use the following buttons:
- :
, :
, :
, :
-
, :o:, 
, ![:[]:](/styles/nerva/xenforo/smilies.psx/but_square.png "But Square :[]:")
-
, 
With
you can cancel the entry and with 
you can save the password.
After saving, the PS3 is protected by this password and is required after each restart.
After 3 incorrect entries the PS3 will shut down automatically.
Authentication is done in the same way as you save it or via an USB device.
You have to set up this USB device and this device have to be in "/dev_usb000" (most right, close to BD drive)
on PS3 startup. Don't forget to enable "USB authentication" in the settings menu.
* NEW
Through the "restricted mode" it is possible to lock the "XMB settings" (ALSO system update) and
the "deleting apps/games" in the XMB. In this mode the games under "dev_hdd0/GAMEZ" are hidden
(folder renamed in GAMEZx). For this mode no password is needed.
"PS3Lock sleep timer" gives you a time-limited access to the PS3.
The sleep timer can set to 0:30h, 1:00h, 1:30h, 2:00h, 2:30h, 3:00h.
After 3 warning messages (10, 5, 1min before the preset time), the PS3 will be shutdown.
Password protection for PS3Lock settings and XMB possible.
Password request for PS3Lock settings and in recurring to XMB (after closing apps/games).
Perfect child protection:
Restricted mode + PS3Lock sleep timer is the perfect child protection.
The restricted mode gives access to the PS3 without a password and through the sleep timer this
mode is time-limited. After shutdown through the sleep timer the restricted mode is automatically disabled.
If restricted mode is disabled you get access to the PS3 only with password.
* NEW
- Hidden option to show the "Parental Control" password. (screenshot statistics)
- Language update function from USB. (screenshot advanced settings)
- Plugin update function from USB. (screenshot statistics)
- New button layout:o:... instead of /\ X [] O L1 R2...

Block system update:
Since version 0.6 you can block the system update, following CFW are supported:
- 4.46
- 4.50
- 4.55
- 4.60
- 4.66
- 4.70
- 4.75
- 4.76
In order to block the system update, i use the modified files from XMB Lock from [MENTION=5831]ermak86[/MENTION]. Thank you mate
NOTHING is changed in dev_flash so this CAN'T cause a brick by incorrect use!
If you setup your CFW (the real, NOT the spoofed version) and the option is enabled then PS3Lock redirect
the original file "/dev_flash/vsh/module/software_update_plugin.sprx" to
"/dev_hdd0/Plugins/PS3Lock/Block_Update/software_update.block_XXX" (XXX your CFW). NOTHING touched in dev_flash!
This option is auto-enabled in "Restricted mode" or you can manually enable/disable in advanced settings.
You can also set the update block to "permanent", then the update block is auto-enabled after each restart
(independent from restricted mode).
Thanks a lot [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] for the hint with "sys_map_path()"
- Open the PS3Lock settings -> Advanced settings ( )
- Go to "Block system update"
- setup your CFW and push
* NEW
*2
PS3Lock start delay:
For CFWs without epilepsy warning i recommend 1-3 sec, for CFWs with epilepsy warning i recommend 6-9 sec.
If the menu seems to "frozen" after password entry then try to open the settings menu, if you see
the settings menu then try to increase delay time and push
+
+ for restart.
