PS3 Game Integrity 1.2

This tool calculates the MD5, SHA-1 or CRC32 for a file or folder (and sub-directories) and generate a content.md5 file for future verification. If the content.md5 is present in the folder, the program reports if any file was deleted, added or changed. This tool is very useful to check if your game has corrupted files due due bad sectors, virus or cross-links (which are very common when an USB device is removed from the PS3 while it is turned on).

New in 1.1: CRC32 hash support, find in log, size is now optional. Version 1.2 fixes hash for files larger than 4GB.

Note: Several MD5 for known Playstation 3 files is included (PUPs for OFW, CFW, DEX and PSP files)

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)

PS3_DISC.SFB edit 1.1
———————
It’s a quick way to edit the title id of PS3_DISC.SFB.

Create PS3_EXTRA 1.1
——————–
This tool scans for the PKG, MP4 and P3T files copied to each game folder, its PS3_UPDATE folder, PKGDIR or PS3_CONTENT,
and store them under a PS3_EXTRA structure.

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 486×405 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

Changes in 1.1:
+Create_PS3_EXTRA now can find PKG files in PS3_CONTENT and PKGDIR folders, and move them to the PS3_EXTRA folder.
+The PS3_CONTENT and PKGDIR folders are renamed to avoid conflicts with the PS3_EXTRA structure.
!Fixed package “size” issue for PKG files >4GB
!Due a typo in the code it was not moving the P3T files to PS3_EXTRA. Fixed.

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)

All these tools are Win32 and require the VB5 runtime DLL.
XP users should have this already installed (if not, download & install the DLL).

Download the VB5 Runtime Modules from:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...s/msvbvm50.exe

That’s all for now

I feel REALLY stupid right now. About this part,

Shift+ENTER on a EBOOT/SELF/SPRX file, will extract the unsigned ELF file (if the keys and klicensee are available).

How the hell do I use this shortcut and where does the eboot have to be ??

I'm trying to get to the elf file from the eboot.bin of lastGAME3.pkg just to look at it to see if I can make some forwarders for games from the XMB. I extracted the .pkg and got the eboot. Now I'm wondering how to use this to extract/convert to elf.

I had started a thread about this a year ago, but the replies I received just led to more questions and apps that are WAY out of date. So I'm looking in to it myself (not that I'd know what I'm looking at but still). I know I could use the scetools from a command prompt, but I would like to use this as it seems to have a lot of useful tools.

If someone could help me or knows of an UP-TO-DATE app that makes these forwarders, PLEASE point me in the right direction.

Thank you,
CloneD

Hello CloneD:

These keyboard shortcuts are performed from Windows Explorer (eg. My Computer -> E:\ -> GAMES -> BLUS12345 -> USRDIR).
There is also an equivalent for the shortcut using the right click menu over the file or folder, but I rarely use them due keyboard shortcuts are more productive

NOTE:
The PKG_ContentID.exe should be executed at least once with Administrative privileges (right click -> Run as Administrator) or with UAC disabled.
Once you run it, the program associate several file extensions to PKG_ContentID (eg. SPRX, SELF, BIN, PKG, etc.), allowing the tool to manage these files directly from Windows Explorer.

They can be located in any folder, example: their original location in GAMES folder of the USB drive.

BTW, although the version is still the same, I have updated the PKG_ContentID.exe to fix an issue resigning Showtime for 4.xx

Thank you for the reply and the hard work you've put in on this collection of tools, that helped a bit. However I don't get an option to convert to elf, I get an option to convert to fself which is done and original is renamed and the bin is left. Do I rename this .bin to .elf or ???

Sorry, I really feel like a noob right now. I really don't want led around by the hand but I do feel a little helpless.

EDIT: I should have mentioned, I know a little about coding, not so much on how to get to it other than Notepad++ or a few obvious conversions/tools.

EDIT2: I'll figure it out when I got more time to do more searches. I got to get some sleep right now as I have an early morning tomorrow. Thanks again.
