When the True Blue dongle first launched last year, it was originally using 'special' blu-ray discs to play games, instead of just DRMencoded eboots on the HDD.
But even after all the Paradox releases, there was a few games that only were available still on 'special' blu-ray discs. Over the course of last year, various groups try to figure out how to copy these discs, as they were sadly pirate stores that wish to sell them to their customers. Finally have much research the BD-Rom marks called 'BCA Codes' were figured out so they could by copied on normal blu-ray burner.
And now an person by the name 'OxweB' has leaked them onto the 'net, as basically they are useless now, but still it is part of sad scene PS3 history!
These are BCA codes off the TB disks (the barcode on the inner part of the disk).
You to can read them off the disk yourself with a scanner or magnifying glass, they are in binary format (skinny line = 0, Fat line = 1). Binary to HEX and there you go, a code almost ready to be stamped on to a BD-R.
*Note - It's not that simple for regular retail games as there is still the PIC Zone to contend with.
**Note - I realize these aren't overly useful but it's information which is all worth it in the long run.
OH /GriFFin, i saw True Blue and i nearly turned BLUE......
Nice of him to share, question is WHY now and what does " I realize these aren't overly useful but it's information which is all worth it in the long run." mean? hmm

But, ever if we could now rip those games, we don't knew how to make them working on our regular 3.55 CFW ! & directly from the XMB !!!
By the way, excellent job OxweB !! thank you so much for sharing this with the scene !

I thought that the remaining Unripped/unpatched games are old enough to have 3.60 keys so we can do it.
Else we have to dump its Eboots only and send them with regards to the legend team N0DRM
Tomatosauce (was it you?) & I and maybe someone else had a few of these codes months ago, but yeah we didnt have the hardware to do anything with them.

Bearmon this doesn't tell them anything really. The hard part is the PIC Zone (the grey area next to BCA code on retail disk) That takes a bit more 'skill' to achieve.
As I said months back.. the Chinese factories have been able to read them for ages..
TB were pissed coz the resellers were buying disks direct factory for cheaper than they could get them from TB.
