well, if the edat is installed to the correct location, the problem is with the edat. the pkg itself doesn't have anything to do with unlocking the game. though, it would be odd if the edat works if not in a pkg. it's confusing to say the least. u can extract the edat with pkgview, yes?

the debug pkg yes it can extract. ill try the edat to see if it works. imo for sure its the edat being "changed" when creating pkg

debug license pkg do not work for cex

 

debug license pkg do not work for cex

duplex crack pkg files are debug and work on cex

 

I'd check the content id of the edat. that would be my recommendation.

no doubt its correct. im done messin with it. your tool works pinky so im set using it.

im just reporting my results with testing tapr (and other two methods also)

debug license pkg IS a debug pkg, but it contains an edat file for activating game on dex.
you need to build a license pkg containing an edat file for cex.

 

To make a PKG with manuals or multiple themes you can use the Python scripts made by CaptainCPS-X. It let you pack files with any folder structure without any validation or filters.

Download: http://aldostools.org/temp/test/make_pkg_(python_scripts_by_CaptainCPS).7z
Note: Requires Python 2.7 installed. I edited the original pkg scripts to also create pkgs for avatars, themes, edats (exdata), webLink.

Starting in the line 400 of bin/pkg.py you can tweak some values of the pkg structure.

An alternative to make pkg with MANUAL is hex editing the psn_package_npdrm.exe and replacing HTMLDIR with MANUAL. C00 is already allowed. Use -n as parameter to skip validations.

BTW These are some webLink pkgs I created with the python script (maybe someone will find them useful).

cant create big pkg file
this is when i try build 5gb pkg file
any solution?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\bin\pkg.py", line 625, in <module>
main()
File ".\bin\pkg.py", line 620, in main
pack(args[0], contentid, args[1])

dataToEncrypt += fileData
MemoryError
Press any key to continue . . .

The problem is that the script reads the whole files in memory to calculate the SHA1, and then append all the bytes to the data to be encrypted.

The functions must be rewritten with a different logic to read big files in small chunks, then calculate the hashes and encrypt the small chunks.

It is doable, but it is not a simple task. Maybe some dev that know how to program Python want to rewrite the functions.

My suggestion is that use the python script for the basic data of the PKG: trophies, manuals, licenses, EBOOT, etc. And use psn_package_npdrm.exe to create a PKG or a GD (game data) PKG with the rest of the large files.

 

I would like to make a PKG to install .edat or .rap files. Is it doable ?

or Is it possible to make a .PKG to copy them to usb0000/exdata ?

 

How to solve this puzzle ? " Please enter ContentID"
any help ?
