PS3 [Research] MLT's RIF bypass patches in VSH

:disgust:


It's so much fun though, the Xbox 360 control pad is solid and doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart in your hands.
To me it feels as if the button configuration is all wrong and a lot larger than I'm used to as I started on Nintendo (stopped at Super) and then PlayStation never had any use for any Xbox

And what is the story about DS gamepads making you feel they will fall apart?
I have 2 dozens including real shit cloned ones, never got that feeling once...
Whatever...
 
I though DS3 is great, until I used DS4. Now DS 3 feel like a cheap toy for me. Really.
A cheap toy hmmm ok why not... But that feels like it will fall apart? I don't think so.

I have DS4 too. Sure it's better, it would be a scandal if it was not better given the fact they were released 8 years later....
 
The first Sixaxis version feels like a toy for sure. I dont know why they didn't add some weight to them when they found out they were not including vibration.

DS3 is not too bad. I have only seen one properly broken, I got it with a slim recently, 3 separate breaks, the top of the left stick, the L2 button and the case is cracked on the right side, I think the previous owner must have had some real bad luck in a game and smashed it off the floor on purpose or something, its ok for testing consoles anyway, and it was thrown in for free so its all good.

DS4 is cool alright, Nice bit of engineering, loads of tech built in, shame the rubber tops wore off my left sticks in no time on 3 different DS4's here..had to buy rubber caps. And yeah , after using the DS4 it is hard to go back to the DS3..feels so small.
 
Not for me!! But all my associates are die hard Xbone fiends. I personally can't use any pad but the DS4. I have become spoiled. A DS3 feels off to me as I use the DS4 on my PSTV, PC, PS2, PS4 and my PS3. PS3 Xpad does DS4 better then Sony with thier half arsed HID implemented attempt of support. But hey at least it works wirelessly for OFW users for most games now. Castlevania still doesnt work with or without a USB cord which was a killer for me. Luckily PS3 Xpad makes it not only work where Sony failed but also allows for rumble support fir DEX users.
how you use ds4 on ps2? teensy mod?
 
FYI :

I think I successfully downsized the patches from 25 to 1.


Could you verify this when you get a chance?

By the way, I only tested four games.. I wonder if this one single patch could cause less compatibility.

By the way, with only one patch, now non-c00 games don't even try to launch any more [it previously just kicked back to XMB after launching, I think this is a lot better when things don't even work properly
awesome work @Joonie. :)
thought it would take a bit longer to find it.

tbh, iwas too lazy till now to verify the patches, since he patched a lot of other errors out.
though, i will leave the patches at my side for now.

i have looked in ida and from the looks it has to be exactly the routine @Skiller was talking about. if you look a tiny bit above, you will see the verb "GOMA".

and about klic encrypted games, i think JuanNadie has talked about to make a function to let gameos decrypt itself those eboots, but don't think this can be done with patches rather than with an external app.
 
good work, but tbh, i do not like to apply all these patches with cobra. this makes it too heavy i think.
and thanks for reminding about debug vsh. maybe i really have compared unspoofed vsh, which i have not patched i guess.

about the ps2classic compatibility, i had no time to try and i am busy with other stuff. i am making trainer prx files for games at the moment, which is a lot of fun to me, but very time consuming.


unluckily, this does not completely circumvent klic games and you cannot run them encrypted, but if you decrypt them and sign them free or fself you do not need any klic/rif/edat.

c00 games you can run without any problem though.


need a tut on E/S/S/S/E Resigner v4.5.4

Here's the link of updated binaries and sources, I only applied the one patch for both VSHs which currently work fine for c00 contents :)

FYI @atreyu187


@habib @Joonie

Im guessing this is being based on something talked about a wile ago?
i think reality is what needs to become of this is Direct Rifkey (Klic) loading into memory instead of it just having to use Act.dat/IDPS to decrypt the key from the Klic.. if you take this function out. and u just load in the Rifkey Directly - wherever this is done in the function ud take out the per system encryption needs, and just be left with 1 key per game that works for everyone..

i think your closing into the area there Joonie

Also one other thing i noticed if on a fresh system if u just put your Act.dat and rifs into your exdata folder nothing work.. u need that 1 activation on the net ( or Shudder react activation) then things will work .. this System activation would probably need to be tweeked as well.



FYI dont know why but i was trying to read up in this thread but seems there is a mess in here to :P
 
All the contoller speak here I'd thought I'd throw this in here sorry for off topic but, the goodwill down the street from me from time to time gets a lot of older new in box game accessories. I grabbed a bunch of psp Skype headsets with the volume contoller for a 1 a peice. I also got a bunch of ds2 adapters for ps3. They allow you to use your corded ps2 controller on your ps3. I bought all they had at like 1.50 pc. Let me know if any1 would like one. Pay for shipping, it Will be my gift to you. I'm always over there looking for deals.
