RNA Project goes Open-Source

[/GriFFin]

We posted about the great new project by Blipi called RNA: Real Network Access just over a month ago, in which he was making the PS3's that are running CFW to be able to network their games with others, sync even their Trophies and have a Friends List!

Sadly, he does not have time to finish the project, so he inform us here that he releasing his code as Open Source, and hopes maybe another 'scener' will pick up were he has left off.

RNA, which stands for Real Network Acces, is a WIP aimed to an alternative access to online games.
For it's first releases it will only work for LAN games. Keep in mind it's [WIP].

Since I'm leaving the scene for a while I've decide to make RNA open source.

It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/blipi/rna/

In root / main .h and .cpp core files
In /temp/ code to be ported to ps3 yet
In /RNA/ PHP server files

Status/Progress:

Client (PS3, pkg):

• Main core - 100%
• Packet send/recv/connect - 100%
• Blowfish encryptation - 100%
• MD5, CRC32, security on packets - 100%
• Login process - 100%
• Packet sync core - 100%
• Packet sync implementation - 20%
• Friends core - 100%
• Friends implementation - 0%
• LAN gaming - 0% TheGrid pending

Server (PHP):

• Packet recv/send/connect - 100%
• Security - 100%
• Trophies, friends sync - 100%
• Handshake, login - 100%
• To be done LAN rooms and games

I'll post more information later, as now I haven't got more time.

We here at Crunch wish him all the best in his new projects and direction in life, and all PS3 developers at times need a break or two from everything.

I +1 Gamba's comment!

LMAO!!! okay i don't know what's going on, who to believe, etc but down at DH homepage of JFW, DH posts that because of ps3crunch's insults, hate, etc, the user blipi has "LEFT" (as in dropped out/abandon completely) the project.

Pues si amigos,como podeis leer blipi uno de los miembros del jfw dh encargado del openpstore,rna y el manager de plugins ha decidido abandonar el proyecto despues de ver los insultos,desprecios y calumnias vertidas desde ps3crunch.

No solo tienen la desfachatez de insultarnos que encima ponen en portada poniendo "blipi suerte y descansa"SO GILIPOLLAS SI SE VA ES POR VOSOTROS,RETRASADOS!!!

there's more to this post on the site...

this might get out of hand if this keeps up.

Also, DH has stated that installing his JFW on machines will result in JFW *deleting* MultiMAN and any other apps he doesn't like -- it will also delete any attempted English translations done to his firmware. I'm going to talk to Gary and Griffin about banning/removing DH from this site as well as anything relating to him or his scam/brickware piece of shit FW.


...... oh and apparently, this whole thing has now caused JFW to be delayed and is no longer launching on the 1st of October. That, friends, should come as a HUGE shock to each and every single one of us.


Not.

LOL, just like I said--hype something all up only to say in the end, once they realize they can't deliver on their promises "Fuck the scene, I'm done putting up with the bullshit."

They (DH and Crew) just grouped themselves in with the likes of Math and Git--bunch of fucking con artists and scammers the whole lot of em.

What pisses me off, is that Blipi has received nothing BUT glowing praise and support on here... then he goes and complains that people are not respecting him enough, so he releases his source and "leaves the scene" causing dipshits like DemonLoser to start even MORE drama. I don't know what on earth you expected from us, Blipi, I guess it must be something along the lines of free cars and hot models being helicopter delivered to your house, since obviously text support and appreciation wasn't enough >_>

Whatever.

Even at the end of it all, your work WAS appreciated, and if even half of what you promised is viable; you'll be sorely missed. You have nobody to blame except DemonHades, because not one of us ever insulted or debased you.

To be honest at last JFW news threat there were guys saying that "DH is a BS" and "multiman rules",an argue to be short,and Blipi was a part of that team not sure if he took that personally.Don't really see the reason for this forums and DH to argue.Anyway thanks Blipi for your work,and I'll hope you'll change your mind .

[MOST Hated]

Yea that's strange. I could of sworn Blipi got nothing but love here with the exception of a few.
What's messed up about all of this to me is, this was Jaicrab's custom firmware.
As soon as DH got attached to it. BS gets attached to it. Sad.

More information:
Packet structure along with hanshake can be found here:
http://www.mindomo.com/edit.htm?m=b1...ab6c29dfa7e8e1
Hanshake process is the same as a game called Silkroad, it was pending to be improved.

You can also find login process here:
http://www.mindomo.com/edit.htm?m=d0...921310b543bf1c

It may also be of interest that there is included a full tropusr.dat parser (made by me) inside.
When sending an encrypted packet, crc byte must be 0 before encrypting and filled once already crypted.
A server with PHP and MySQL (tomorrow I'll post a DB dump) is required for it to work.
It already compiles and works till login (for ps3 as a pkg).

LAN system would be done by making a plugin for TheGrid and making a jump (generally talking, as in ppc asm is not jmp) in memory from connect functions to your own code. Checking against server for the room previously selected and redirecting connections from a local ip to a global one. Thia should be more than enough for anyone to do it.


PS: It seems people haven't got why I leave for a while "the scene". The reason why I code homebrew is not money, nor reputation, nor to hype, nor to any reason you may think of. It is as plain and simple that I love coding. Though the main reason why I code homebrew is for you people to enjoy it. As you may understand once our work is being despised my reasons just disappear. And don't be egocentric, I've never said it's only (mind the 'only', it means that i doesn't exclude) because of people over here.
My only request EVER was you to be polite, and even when I'm saying good bye and being as kind as to post information here you cant act normal and be polite.
Don't act as good people and say that here there was never anything bad said against me. I also work (soon worked) for JFW. Despising (which isn't the same as not trusting) JFW is despising my work, despising my spent hours, despising our testers efforts, despising our devs headaches, may I continue?

Then people complains about scene being stopped. I highly doubt that this can be said scene. And i was one of those who, when started, believed that scene could be fair, friendly, free (free of content, opinions, insults). Sadly I've been proven wrong during all this time.

If ever this thing made of gods, trolls and some good people (called scene) changes, I'll be the first one to come back.

Remember, I don't talk only about people here.

And, if I may, I'll do my last request: don't answer this unless it's refered to RNA itself. The news is about RNA, not me.
