PS3 NET Server GUI 1.1
----------------------
It's an improved GUI for the PS3 NET Server (the PC side of multiMAN).

white list, etc.)

This is a small semi-transparent web window that stays always on top. It can
connect to your PS3 console to monitor the CPU and RSX information.
Requires webMAN 1.18 or later running on a 4.46 COBRA 7.0 compatible CFW. The
plugin and instructions are included in the XMB Manager+ (mod).
New in 1.1: Added more webMAN options to the popup menu when you right click on the
Connect button.
When a game is mounted with multiMAN, there will be 2 BD icons on the XMB:
one disc for the game itself and another with PKGs, MP4 and P3T.
It should make it easier to install the game patches, DLC, fixes, and related
videos,
due they will be listed in a neat menu like the one used by "PStore news" (big
squares of 486x405 pixels).
How to use:
-----------
1) First put the pkg's at the root of your game folder (eg: BLES00000).
2) Run Create_PS3_EXTRA.exe
3) Click the browse button in the top right corner [...]
4) Select the "GAMES" folder that contains the games with the pkg's eg: x:\GAMEZ
and then click the OK button
5) Now tick or untick the folders you want or don't want the app to process
6) Click the Start button
7) Close the program
8) Open the folder eg: BLES00000 folder
9) Now your folder should contain a folder called PS3_EXTRA
10) All the pkg's should have automatically been renamed and moved to the PS3_EXTRA
folder
11) Launch the game using multiMAN
12) On the xmb menu you should now see 2 disc icon's. The top disc icon is the
actual game, The bottom disc icon is the dlc/update pkg's.
13) Click on the bottom disc icon to see and install the dlc/updates
CreateHardLink 1.1.1
--------------------
Do you need a copy of your giant ISO, virtual HDD, movies or any other file in a
another folder (e.g. for network share) and don't want to waste the extra hard disk
space? This Win32 tool (inspired tool on multiMAN's mmOS shadow copy feature) lets
you create a "hard link copy" of your files stored on NTFS drives without expend
the extra HDD space.
IMPORTANT: A symbolic links to directories are "shortcuts" that behave like a path
redirection. A "hard link copy" is the same original file just with another file
name. Any modification made to one file will be reflected on all the other copies.
Hard links don't work on multiple volumes or hard drives formatted in FAT32.
Installation:
Run the CreateHardLink.exe as "administrator" at least once to register the "Paste
Hard Link" option in Explorer context menu for files and folders.
If you run it holding Ctrl key, it will be registered as a Extended menu option
(that only appears using Shift+Right click).
A .reg file is included to remove the option from Explorer. It's suggested to run
it prior the registration as a context menu option.
Usage:
1. Select the items to be copied (e.g. ISO files, movies, folders, etc.) and press
Ctrl+C to copy
2. browse to desired directory where we want the 'virtual copy'
3. right click on any file or folder and select 'Paste Hard Link' from context menu
4. Done.
Hard link for files only work in the same NTFS volume. Folder links works with
different NTFS volumes. For different volumes 'Directory Junction' is suggested,
instead of the default 'Symbolic Link'.
A 'Directory Junction' is created holding Shift or Ctrl key when we select 'Paste
Hard Link' option.
With 'Directory Junction' or 'Symbolic Links' you can "copy" (it really redirects)
an entire folder to another folder (e.g. you can redirect your games in JB format,
music folders, movies, ISOs, etc. to the share folder for PS3 NET Server)
Indeed PS3 NET Server is the main reason why I made this tool... It could be done
also with mklink command, but many users don't know about it or could find it
cumbersome to do it through the command line.
Supports: drag & drop of multiple files, browse dialog, copy & paste image or URL
from clipboard.
The tool generates random or sequential values and uses MAGIC333X's bruteforce tool
to test thousands or millions of rifkeys per second.
Special thanks to Catalinnc for his awesome contribution discovering the dev
klicensees!
The tool is a simple on-the-fly decrypter and ufs2 reader that allows to browse the
content of your gameos (dev_hdd0)
and copy files and folders to PC.
PS3 HDD will only read (Nothing is written to the PS3 HDD, so it should be very
safe). PS3 HDD for Slim and FAT models are now supported.
Set the local folder to a DropDrox's folder and you have a cloud backup solution of
your PS3 data :)
New in version 1.2: Added 4 sync modes for the selected folders:
PS3 -> PC -> PS3 (default): Transfer the new files and updated files from PS3 to
PC. The additional files found on the PC are transfer back to the PS3.
PC -> PS3 -> PC: Transfer the new files and updated files from PC to PS3. The
additional files found on the PS3 are transfer to the PC.
PS3 -> PC: Transfer only the new files and updated files from PS3 to PC.
PC -> PS3: Transfer only the new files and updated files from PC to PS3.
How to use:
Make a dump of your bkpps3.bin, LV1 or LV2 and drap & drop the dump file on the
tool's window.
It will show the PSID, idps, Target ID and PS3 model found in the bkpps3.bin, LV1
or LV2.
You can drag & drop a dump of your NOR flash too.
Note: Some edats require a Dev Klic that can be obtained using Bruteforce Edat.
TIP: Now you can convert your PS2 ISOs to PKG directly from Windows Explorer:
Go to "Options" set the output mode to Package File, set a default path and
enable Shell Integration.
Changes in 2.0:
- New tab for creation of PS2 packages with custom icons and background.
(drag & drop or open any image and the program will create the images in the proper
size)
Tip: Put custom images (ICON0, PIC0, PIC1, SND, etc.) in the folder PS2Covers for
auto selection by title id during the PKG creation.
Changes in 1.7:
- Solves some issues with the file associations.
- Verifies if the file system accepts the file size (>4GB) and if there is enough
free space.
- Improved the LIMG segment detection/patching before the encryption.
- Added option to auto rename the PKG to title name + [title id], instead of the
content id as name.
Changes in 1.6.1:
- Added shell integration to .BIN and .ISO file extensions
- New options to set default output mode and default path
- Auto creation of PS2ISO folders (output mode PS2ISO)
- Auto creation of Package files (output mode Package File)

devs ;)

------------------------

heuristic algorithms for brute force attack.
Once it finds the klicensee, the tool resign the EBOOT/SPRX/SELF with 3.55/3.40
keys. It also includes my FixELF tool
and uses the tool by MAGIC333X (v1.3.1) for faster klicensee detection.
Changes:
- Added display of animated icons (ICON1.PAM) - Requires to have the codecs
installed.
New in 1.3.1: Fixed a bug introduced in 1.3 with the log files per folder.
Note: Several MD5 for known Playstation 3 files is included (PUPs for OFW, CFW, DEX
and PSP files)

and .VMP).
Changes: fixed issue with left and square buttons, mapped F11 to L1+R1

* Replaced the file injection with "Resize Slot size to BDEMU file size".
* Resize of slot is now available only for the last slot.
Support for file extensions 666##, part# = part1 .. part9, part0 = part0 .. part9.
PS3RIP 1.2.1
------------
It's a tool that should help you gain some space on your external HDD, removing
unnecessary files.
It actually moves the files to a RIPPED folder in the root of the disk and replace
the file with a 0 byte file.
VERY IMPORTANT: You should verify your game (play it!) before delete any file
permanently!!
+The PS3RIP includes the patterns for ripping almost all languages, except
English!!
Initial release excluded English & Spanish. This release excludes English only, but
allows to exclude other languages.
IMPORTANT: Review the patterns and comment or remove the lines for the languages
that you want to keep.
(for ripping files stored in your PS3 use my PS3 FTP Client tool)
renam 1.0
---------
This tool, if copied to the GAMES or GAMEZ folder, will rename the games sub-
folders
from the default "BLUS0000-[Title]" format to "Title [BLUS0000]".
This name format should make it easier to find the games using Explorer.
Just copy the renam.exe to the x:\GAMES (or x:\GAMEZ) folder and rut it.
(Do not expect any GUI. It will rename the folders and exit)
