Minecraft PS3 update adds blocky skins from Uncharted, Heavy Rain, more

April 2nd, 2014, 00:52 Posted By: wraggster

When the PlayStation Network is next updated, those playing Minecraft on the PlayStation 3 will find two new skin packs available for purchase. One features koalas and cavemen, while the other focuses on the most famous faces of the PlayStation 3.

According to the PlayStation.blog, the Battle And Beasts skin pack will allow players to dress as koala bears, cavemen, an ocotopus or a particularly angular Cleopatra. The other pack, simply titled "Skin Pack 1", is aimed at "hardcore PlayStation fans" and features Minecraft versions of Uncharted lead Nathan Drake, larcenous raccoon Sly Cooper, "folks from Heavy Rain" and "someKillzone dudes." We'd like to be more specific on who exactly will be representing Heavy Rain and Killzone, but neither Sony nor Minecraft creator Mojang offer further clarification.

Likewise lacking from the announcement are the price points that will be attached to those two DLC skin packs, though territorial Sony devotees will be pleased to hear that Skin Pack 1 is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 incarnation ofMinecraft.

Rockstar lays out Grand Theft Auto Online spring update roadmap

April 2nd, 2014, 23:21 Posted By: wraggster

Rockstar has revealed the upcoming new features headed to Grand Theft Auto Online this "spring", including the much-awaited multiplayer Heists.
Beginning next week Rockstar will roll out the Capture Creator, the first of several upcoming additions to Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer mode. This update will allow you to design your own Capture Jobs, similar to the player-created Deathmatches and Races already available.The next lump of new content will be The High Life Update, which will unlock the ability to own two properties at the same time. Other additions will include new high-end apartment options, three new cars, a new bike, new jobs, a new rifle and new wardrobe items, Rockstar wrote in a new blog post.Intriguingly, the update will also contain a new Mental State player statistic, to let you see "how passive or psychotically unhinged fellow players in your session really are".Also slated for this spring, but at a still-to-be announced time, are the multiplayer Heists that Rockstar has been teasing since the game's release.Updates will then continue throughout the year - Rockstar is already thinking of holiday-themed updates, as well as the previously-teased single-player campaign DLC, too.Other upcoming tweaks include 'non-contact' races where other players are semi-transparent, bonus currency if you rate jobs, increased payouts for certain events when playing with fewer than four people and the option to call Lester and ask him to get the police off your back for a certain amount of time. Handy!

Sony survey hints at possible PlayStation 4 features

April 2nd, 2014, 23:32 Posted By: wraggster

A new survey sent out to PlayStation 4 owners hints at features Sony is considering adding to the platform.
Sony's questionnaire (posted online byVGXNetwork) includes suggestions for cross-platform chat with users on PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Vita, as well as the option to party chat with more than eight people at once.Several features already available on Xbox One are also listed - the ability to change your PlayStation Network username, for example, or to be logged in and online but remain invisible to other users.Sony also appears to be considering a player reputation system based on users' ratings of other players - a feature Microsoft recently trumpeted the arrival of for its own system.Those who respond to the survey can rate each of these options on a scale from "very appealing" to "very unappealing".Other possible additions include an "advanced matchmaking system" to better pair you with players at your skill level or players you might prefer, and on-screen notifications for when your friends come online - a feature headed to Xbox One in an upcoming update.

Soul Sacrifice Delta rated in Australia

April 2nd, 2014, 23:52 Posted By: wraggster

Soul Sacrifice Delta has been rated by the Australian Classification board.
Following the emergence of a European retail listing for the Vitaexclusive action game earlier this week, the Australian classificationstrengthens unconfirmed rumours that the title is scheduled for release outside of Japan.
Spanish online retailer Xtralife suggests the title will be available in Europe from May 19, while publisher Sony has yet to respond to CVG's request for comment on the matter.
Soul Sacrifice Delta was announced for Japan in September 2013 by Keiji Inafune, whose studio Comcept co-created the game.
"This is a brand new version [of Soul Sacrifice] with brand new elements and items which gives the unique flavour of Soul Sacrifice," the Mega Man co-creator said at the time.
The game debuted atop the Japanese software chart following its release earlier this month.
The original Soul Sacrifice has garnered a Metascore of 77 based on 71 reviews.
OPM said it was "a brilliantly well-structured handheld game, both offline and on, and despite the lack of a traditional hub world it never sacrifices depth for the sake of portability".

PS4 reputation system reportedly under consideration

April 2nd, 2014, 23:55 Posted By: wraggster

Sony is reportedly considering the possibility of introducing a PS4 user reputation system, among other new features.
The user rating system was mentioned in a survey sent to select customers by Sony, according to VGX.
As well as a reputation system, the survey asks respondents to rate the attractiveness of a number of potential features. They include an advanced matchmaking system, cross-chat and synchronisation of messages across PlayStation platforms, the ability to change PlayStation usernames, the capability to party chat with more than eight people at once, and the ability to appear invisible when online.
An upcoming PS4 update will improve the console's sharing and streaming options, while Sony also intends to enable users to dim the DualShock 4's colour-changing lightbar.
Meanwhile, Infamous studio Sucker Punch recently claimed that support for pre-loading digital PS4 games will be introduced in April.
In late March, Microsoft detailed its new Xbox Live reputation system forXbox One. The three tier system covers 'Good' players, 'Needs Work' ones, and 'Avoid Me' players, who may be subject to penalties like "reduced matchmaking pairings" and bans from "certain privileges such as Twitch broadcasting".

PS4 survey mentions reputation system, cross-platform chat

April 3rd, 2014, 11:54 Posted By: wraggster

Sony seems to be considering the introduction of an Xbox-like reputation system on PlayStation.
That’s according to a survey sent out to users, as reported by VGX, which asks about the appeal of a range of possible future features.
Included on the list is a “player reputation system based on user ratings”, the “ability to chat across PlayStation platforms”, the “ability to change your PlayStation username” and the “ability to chat with more than eight people at a time”, amongst other things.
Microsoft has recently rolled out a reputation system on Xbox One that tracks users over time and penalises those who consistently offend or annoy others.

Battlefield 4's Megalodon finally surfaces in Naval Strike expansion

April 4th, 2014, 21:06 Posted By: wraggster

Though dedicated fans have been scouring every inch of Battlefield 4 since its debut last October, no one has yet offered real evidence of the existence of the gigantic Megalodon within EA's shooter - until now.

The footage above comes courtesy of YouTube user "" who lays out simple instructions on how to spawn the giant beast within your ownBattlefield 4 match. First, you must be playing on the Nansha Strike map which was included with the recent Naval Strike DLC pack. Second, you must find nine other willing players to swim with you out to a specific buoy near the main island. Third, you must all be comfortable with having a giant, supposedly extinct sea creature crush you with its massive bulk.

If that sounds like too much work, just watch that clip again. You won't get the thrill of virtually being there, but it's the only way to really appreciate the inexplicable yet undeniably impressive explosion that accompanies the Megalodon crashing back into the sea.

GTA Online the 'gift that keeps on giving', Zelnick says

April 10th, 2014, 14:27 Posted By: wraggster

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said that GTA Online's microtransactions are "the gift that keeps on giving".
Zelnick told Fox News that GTA Online's success makes it the most interesting change to the heavyweight franchise. Seventy percent of players who play Grand Theft Auto V also play GTA Online, Zelnick noted.
"Just a few years ago when we put out a product, no matter how big, when we put out a hit we collected our money, we went onto the next," Zelnick said. "Now what we're finding is we're creating recurrent consumer spending and we have the gift that keeps on giving."
Zelnick said he emphasized the need to cultivate recurrent spending among players when he took over as Take-Two's CEO in 2007 and "it's nice to see it coming true."
Rockstar Games plans to add the Capture mode to GTA Online's content-creation tools on April 11. Co-op Heist missions will be enabled sometime this spring.
A total of 32.5 million copies of GTA 5 had been shipped out worldwide as of February, approaching the record for best-selling console game ever.
Released on September 17, Rockstar's acclaimed open-world title generated $800 million in worldwide sales in a single day, with GTA V revenues reaching $1 billion after just three days.

Infamous: Second Son tops 1 million sold

April 10th, 2014, 23:19 Posted By: wraggster

PlayStation 4-exclusive action game fastest-selling entry in series history
Infamous: Second Son has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide, Sony announced today. That number includes retail copies sold through to consumers, as well as digital sales through the PlayStation Network.
Sucker Punch's open-world action game launched worldwide on March 21 and reached the million mark within nine days, making it the fastest-selling entry in series history. Previously, the series saw two main installments on the PlayStation 3, a downloadable stand-alone expansion, and a collection package including all three previously released titles.
As a PlayStation 4 exclusive, Second Son appears to be enjoying a healthy attach rate to the console's installed base. Last month, Sony said it had sold more than 6 million PS4 systems worldwide.

Redesigned PS Vita hits US May 6

April 10th, 2014, 23:21 Posted By: wraggster

Hardware will come bundled with Borderlands 2, 8GB memory card for $200
After debuting in Japan in October and launching in the UK earlier this year, the redesigned PlayStation Vita will finally arrive in North America on May 6, Sony announced today. The $200 bundle will come packaged with a code to download Borderlands 2 and an 8GB memory card.
The new hardware is slimmer and lighter than the original Vita handheld, but not without some trade-offs. The biggest alteration has been to the system's screen, with the original Vita's OLED display swapped out for a new LCD screen. However, the new screen has also allowed Sony to increase the handheld's battery life.
Early adopters of the redesign will also be getting their hands on Borderlands 2 before existing Vita owners have a chance to play the game. The shooter port won't be making its stand-alone debut at retailers or on the digital PlayStation Store until May 13.

EA Sports wants its 2014 World Cup game to appeal to all, not just FIFA fans

April 10th, 2014, 23:26 Posted By: wraggster

"We don't have limitless resources. We wanted to bring the game to as many people as possible and right now that was the 360 and PS3." That's what 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil's lead producer Mat Prior had to say about the title not launching on Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Which is to say, EA's leaning on console-adoption numbers as the primary reason for the lack of a proper game on Microsoft's and Sony's newest consoles. Instead, EA Sports plans to bring some "engaging" World Cup-themed content to FIFA 14's Ultimate Team mode, in the hopes that'll be enough to satisfy disappointed Xbox One and PS4 owners.

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn PS3 to PS4 transfers go live today

April 11th, 2014, 22:05 Posted By: wraggster

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn enters its Early Access phase ahead of its full launch on Monday, and that means existing PS3 players can transfer their Eorzean adventures to PS4 as of today. Before you head off to hop across the generations, a reminder: It's a one-way trip. Once it's done, it's done, finito, end of. Your PS3 game is no more, it has ceased to be.

To summarize, once you've switched to the PS4 game, Square Enix says there's no playing again on PS3 with your existing copy, so be sure it's what you want to do. If you'd prefer to play on both systems, you can purchase a PS4 version separately.

As for the how, the PlayStation Blog has a step-by-step guide to take you from PS3 to PS4. Once you're there, you'll be able to explore among PS3 and PC players, and you can use your characters across all platforms that you've activated with your account.

April 13th, 2014, 23:40 Posted By: wraggster

via http://www.emucr.com/

PCSX2 Git (2014/04/13) is compiled. PCSX2 is an open source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 Git Changelog:
* debian: make create tarball script compatible with git
* license: again not yet perfect but much better
Remove old tsvn of zzogl
Add various header
add "is in public domain" for license in public domain so Debian's script catch it
* gsdx: add bsd3 clause on gsdx xbyak files
* win build fix: set utf8-bom
* license: add missing header
Still miss lots of copyright header but we are better
* gsdx-gles: nvidia driver quick trial (only GLES3.0)
* Fix to create a 3.0 GLES context
* set a default precision to fix most of shader compilation issue
* Crash later because of GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT
=> need to test opensource driver
* cmake: drop sparsehash_new module
It was a workaround for a buggy version of the lib.

April 13th, 2014, 23:42 Posted By: wraggster

via http://www.emucr.com/

PS2ESDL v0.824 is released. PS2ESD is Playstation 2 External Storage Device games Loader (PS2ESDL). It allows the user to load games from a USB device.

PS2ESDL v0.824 Changelog:
1.The screen will now be automatically re-centered when the 480P mode is used. (Fixed)
2.Fixed many logic errors that could impede stability.
3.PS2LOGO can now be (optionally) launched. This will only work if the game's logo section (first 16 sectors) is decrypted. Currently not doable with any versions of PS2DCDMP.
4.Fixed graphics mode switching. No more garbled graphics.
5.Corrected the RGBA values used with loaded PNG images. The reason why I could never get the alpha values right was because of a bug in the PNG loading function in gsToolkit. It didn't invert the alpha values.
6.Due to the above, the alpha test (Which was really too aggressive) is no longer needed and was removed.
7.Replaced my old quicksort algorithm with a call to the C qsort() function.
8.Fixed one bug related to calling AllocSysMemory() and FreeSysMemory() without suspending interrupts in cdvdman.c (According to my understanding of the Sony technical documentation, AllocSysMemory() and FreeSysMemory() are critical sections and need to be run with interrupts disabled).
9.PS2LOGO can now be (optionally) launched, so that the player's play history will get updated and hence the "towers" on the Sony Playstation 2 screen will grow and multiply as they should.
10.The redundant SourceDevice field in the configuration structure has been shifted into the SkinDisplayData structure.
11.Fixed many, many bugs related to calling AllocSysMemory() and FreeSysMemory() without suspending interrupts (According to my understanding of the Sony technical documentation, AllocSysMemory() and FreeSysMemory() are critical sections and need to be run with interrupts disabled).
12.CRITICAL: Fixed support for disks of sector sizes >2048 bytes. The call to AllocSysMemory() in sectorIO.c was faulty as the first and second parameters were swapped around.
13.Changed the EE core again with a new design that is more compatible. Old plugins are now unsupported.
14.This new EE core uses a customized UDNL module that shuts off all DMA channels before the final phase of the IOP reset, to avoid memory corruption by interfaces like USB.
15.Removed the Sony debugging modules from the banned modules list as DECI2.IRX doesn't exist as a standalone IRX and I don't know what SNMON.IRX is.
16.Changed where the temporary buffer for disks with sectors larger than 2048 bytes is created, for better performance.

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 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


PS3 FTP Client 3.1
------------------
It's a full FTP client that allows remote access to your PS3 files via a PC.
Other features include: rip files for games stored on PS3, file description, view cover image for selected folder, multiMAN remote commands, etc.


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 & Usage

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.


PS3 Covers Uploader 1.01
------------------------
This is a specialized FTP client that auto-converts any image (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF) to the proper cover size of 260x300 used by multiMAN,
and auto-upload it as JPG to the proper covers path.

Supports: drag & drop of multiple files, browse dialog, copy & paste image or URL from clipboard.


PSISO Tool GUI
--------------
It's a GUI for CaptainCPS-X tool. The tool patches PS3 ISOs that not were created with genPS3ISO or multiMAN.


Bruteforce EBOOT 1.3.1
----------------------
This tool is more an EXPERIMENT than a real key finder... a 128bit key is expected to take milleniums to bruteforce it,
but if you are extremely LUCKY you could find a rifkey using this method. Anyway, I'm sharing this because a friend asked me to make it to have some fun.

The tool generates random or sequential values and uses MAGIC333X's bruteforce tool to test thousands or millions of rifkeys per second.

New in this release:
- Added option to open the EBOOT by drag & drop of the file

Bruteforce Edat 1.2.1
---------------------
It's a dev klicensee bruteforcer that can be used to find the klicensee used on edat files.

New in this release:
- BruteForce_List_Edat_Klicensees -> Added listing of the RAP in HEX format (if the rap file exists in the RAPS folder) (thank to ZOMBIEKILLAH for the idea)

Special thanks to Catalinnc for his awesome contribution discovering the dev klicensees!


PS3 HDD GUI 1.3
---------------
It's a GUI for the PS3 HDD reader tool created by 3141card.

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.

New in 1.3: updated to support ps3 hdd reader 1.0.


PS3 Ftp Data Sync 1.2.1
-----------------------
It's a backup utility that copies the selected folders on the PS3 to a local folder on the PC.
Only the new and modified files on the PS3 are downloaded to the PC. The new files found on the PC are copied to the PS3.

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.


PS3 ConsoleID 1.0.4
-------------------
This tool displays the PSID and the ConsoleID from a bkpps3.bin or from a LV1 or LV2 dump created using multiMAN's mmOS or Rebug's Toolbox.

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.


PSP2PS3 2.1.2 "mod"
-------------------
Based on the awesome scripts created by szczuru, and the tools created by Pink1, arnold (swapperneger), zecoxao, tpu, doobz, among others devs.
This "mod" tries to streamline the process of conversion of PKG/ISO/CSO/PBP to PSP package for PS3.
Latest version has improved compatibility thanks to a new process for resigning EBOOT suggested by Celebratesparta and the addition of PSP Remasters, thanks to doobz.

Report your compatibility results here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...xekVXWGc#gid=0

Changes in v2.1.2 "mod by aldostools"
- Added option for resign tool to use: seboot or prxencrypter

---------------------
It's a revamped and easy to use GUI for the command line EdatTool recently released.
Now you can resign your Edats in an easy way.

Note: Some edats require a Dev Klic that can be obtained using Bruteforce Edat.


Bruteforce Edat 1.0.4
---------------------
It's a dev klicensee bruteforcer that can be used to find the klicensee used on edat files.
It uses BuC's dev klicensee validator to test the potential keys.
The tool works in a similar way as Scetool/Bruteforce tool used to find regular Klicensees.


PS2 Classic GUI 2.0
-------------------
It's a frontend for the recently released PS2Classic tool developed by psdev-net team.
The tool allows to decrypt PS2 Classics for PS3 and encrypt any PS2 to play on PS3 (fat/slim).

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)

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 1.3.1: 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)

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


mmRAS 01.02.02
--------------
It's a Remote Access Service Client that let you browse multiMAN's graphical user interface from a PC.
Requires multiMAN 04.16.03 or higher.


mmTM_GUI 1.5.1
--------------
It's a tool to pack, unpack and verify multiMAN's theme files (THM).


BdEmu Partition Tool 01.05.05
-----------------------------
It's a tool to manage the size of the partitions of HDD formated for BDEMU, used by PS3 development consoles.
It allows to create up to 255 partitions (if your HDD has the capacity) and allows to inject/extract BDEMU files.
It also allows to resize BDEMU partition size (by default is created by ps3gen as 186.4GB, no matter the drive size).

* Replaced the file injection with "Resize Slot size to BDEMU file size".
* Resize of slot is now available only for the last slot.


PS3 File Splitter 1.3
---------------------

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.


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)

That's all for now

PS Vita doesn't deserve bad reputation - Drinkbox

April 14th, 2014, 21:06 Posted By: wraggster

Guacamelee developer Drinkbox Studios today announced its next game, Severed, a fantasy role-playing game with touch-based combat controls. And while the company hasn't committed to platforms just yet, the PlayStation Vita seems a likely candidate, given the game's interface and the studio's experience.
Drinkbox was one of the earliest supporters of the Vita. The studio's Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!!! launched alongside the system in 2012, the first indie game on the handheld that wasn't published by Sony. They followed that up last year with the critically acclaimed Guacamelee on Vita, PS3, and (several months later) the PC. Speaking with GamesIndustry International earlier this month, Drinkbox's Chris McQuinn explained his affinity for Sony's portable platform.
"Honestly, Vita owners are the ****ing best," McQuinn said. "People rag on the Vita so much, and I think people who rag on the Vita don't understand, at least from a business perspective, the purchasing power of Vita owners. Vita owners are serious purchasers of games. It's an amazing system."
"People rag on the Vita so much, and I think people who rag on the Vita don't understand...the purchasing power of Vita owners."

That sentiment falls in line with Sony's own pitch to developers from last year. And Guacamelee gave McQuinn all the evidence of that he needed.
"The split in sales for Guacamelee between the Vita and the PS3 wasn't quite even, but it wasn't far off," McQuinn said. "I think that speaks to the strength of the Vita as a console to sell your game on because there are so many more PS3s than Vitas. For us, the sales on the Vita were really, really strong. It was a great SKU for us."
As for why the system is perceived as an unattractive platform, McQuinn suggested it was more an issue of hardware numbers than software sales.
"If people don't see the Vita doing the same number of sales as the 3DS, then it's automatically a failure," McQuinn said. "But I think what people fail to understand is the purchasers of Vitas are very, very engaged game consumers. For them, the attach rate with games is very high. There might not be a lot of Vitas out there, but the people who do own Vitas are very serious consumers; they buy a lot of games."
While the touch-based combat of Drinkbox's next title might lend itself well to tablets and smartphones, those platforms aren't a priority for the studio.
"For us, I think we're still going to be a bit hesitant about that market until we can see the market to be a bit safer with regards to you making a good game, putting it out, and people buying it," McQuinn said. "That's not necessarily true in that market. We've seen great games come out in that market that just don't get picked up, and that's scary. Whereas I feel if you put out a really good game on the Vita, people will buy it. So until we see that stabilize a bit, we'll probably be a bit hesitant."
The idea of selling games for $0.99 instead of $14.99 was another daunting aspect of dealing with the mobile market. Price deterioration and discoverability are two oft-lamented concerns with the almost non-existent barriers to entry in the mobile market, but while some indie developers see pushing the barriers down as an absolute good, McQuinn suggested they should probably only be lowered to a certain point.
"I think there being some barrier to entry is probably a good thing."

"I think there being some barrier to entry is probably a good thing," McQuinn said. "And I'm not saying a very high one, but something to at least ensure there's some quality to the game, with regards to it even working. I'm not saying you want to go as far as consoles still have it set up. Consoles are getting better, it's easier to put your game out on a console, but there's still a ton of work that's involved. I think there's a happy middle ground we could find."
McQuinn noted technical requirement checklists (TRCs) that ensure the product functions properly as one barrier probably worth retaining in some form.
"I think that's good for the customer, and when you have that, the customers will be more confident, so they'll be purchasing more."
Looking at the future of the indie scene, McQuinn was optimistic, saying there's plenty of room for small developers to steal a larger piece of the industry's pie. However, he predicted the big challenge for indies in the near future will be breaking out of the indie fanbase to get on the radar of the mainstream AAA gaming crowd.
"There's a huge number of those gamers who would like indie games but just aren't exposed to them," McQuinn said.
While growing the audience is a priority for the indie development scene, McQuinn has no similar interest in growing Drinkbox itself.
"It sounds kind of stupid, but I think it's really easy for our team to grow, but we don't want to do that," McQuinn said. "We don't want a big company. We just want a small team. We all know each other really well, and I think we're happy with the size we're at...We're at 14 now, which is monstrous for us. And I don't see us going any bigger. That's enough for us to always be working on two projects simultaneously, and I think we're pretty happy with that."

Is that a re-designed PS4? No, it's Sony's 4K Media Player

April 16th, 2014, 23:44 Posted By: wraggster

Sony has unveiled its new 4K Media Player, which holds an uncanny resemblance to the PlayStation 4.
The grooved black box has a flat front rather than the angled edges of the PS4, but otherwise follows the same design.Catchily named the Sony FMP-X10, the device is due to release this summer for an as-yet unannounced price, Sony has announced (thanks, Videogamer).Obviously you'll need a 4K-compatible TV, too.1TB of storage comes as standard - handy for downloading large 4K files. You'll also be able to stream 4K content from Sony's Video Unlimited Service and Netflix.There's still no word on Sony introducing 4K media support to the PlayStation 4, although prior to launch the company stated that such a feature was "in consideration".

The Last of Us Remastered release date is June 20, retailers suggest

April 17th, 2014, 00:05 Posted By: wraggster

The Last of Us Remastered release date is being listed as June 20 2014 by multiple US retailers including Target andBest Buy.
Sony has yet to announce an official launch date for the recently revealed PS4 exclusive, but quotes attributed to a Turkish PlayStation spokesperson in March suggested the Naughty Dog game was beingreadied for release this summer.
In late March, Spanish retailer Xtralife also began carrying an online listing for The Last of Us PS4 with a June 19 release date.
The title will feature a number of improvements over 2013's The Last of Us for PS3, with Naughty Dog targeting 60fps.
Studio co-president Evan Wells says: "The graphical fidelity has been turned up to 11, we've got 1080p, we're pushing the draw distances further, we're creating higher resolution character models, better lighting, better shadows."
The Last of Us was hailed by CVG readers as the Game of the Generation, while the editorial team voted it third in the era.
Naughty Dog creative director Druckmann has said there's a 50/50 chance that a The Last of Us sequel will be developed.

SHAREfactory and digital pre-loads hitting PS4 in next update

April 18th, 2014, 00:07 Posted By: wraggster

Sony has revealed more details of its next firmware update for PS4.
The 1.70 update will introduce something called SHAREfactory, a video editor app that allows for the combining of clips and the addition of effects, text, stickers, custom music and audio, as well as video commentary.
Gameplay increments will also become customisable and, as previously promised, it will also be possible to turn off HDCP for direct HDMI video capture. The results of all gameplay recordings can then be exported to a USB stick.
Also coming is the ability to pre-load PSN digital purchases ahead of release “several days prior to release”. Users can also opt to have these downloads trigger automatically as soon as available.
PS3 pre-loads have been possible for select titles in Europe for a while but this will be the fist time they have been made available on PS4, and in the US.
Other 1.70 features will be revealed in time.

Sony offered to help make Vita version of Titanfall

April 18th, 2014, 00:09 Posted By: wraggster

A version of EA shooter Titanfall was at one stage proposed for PlayStation Vita.
That’s one of many revelations in Geoff Keighley's recently released documentary The Final Hours of Titanfall, as reported by GameSpot.
Apparently after hearing of the specs for Xbox One Respawn got in touch with Sony to try and ascertain the PS4 specs. Says the site: “Sony was not willing to talk specs yet and instead offered to help Respawn make a PlayStation Vita version of Titanfall.”
Respawn admitted in October that the decision to make the game and Xbox exclusive was taken without its knowledge– a move EA described as a “tactical opportunity”.
Rumours last month suggested that EA has already agreed to publish Titanfall 2 on Xbox One and PS4.

Pirlo: After the wheel, the PlayStation is the best invention of all time

April 18th, 2014, 00:14 Posted By: wraggster

Juventus and Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo has confessed his love for PlayStation in his new autobiography.
“After the wheel, the PlayStation is the best invention of all time,” he wrote, according to an extract printed by The Guardian. “I can't say with any certainty how many virtual matches I've played over the last few years but, roughly speaking, it must be at least four times the number of real ones.
“Pirlo vs [Alessandro] Nesta was a classic duel back in our [AC] Milan days. We'd get in early, have breakfast at 9am and then shut ourselves in our room and hit the PlayStation until 11. Training would follow, then we'd be back on the computer games until four in the afternoon. Truly a life of sacrifice.
“Our head-to-heads were pure adrenaline. I'd go Barcelona and so would Sandro. Barca vs Barca. The first player I'd pick was the quickest one, Samuel Eto'o, but I'd still end up losing a lot of the time. I'd get pissed off and hurl away my controller before asking Sandro for a rematch. And then I'd lose again.”
Pirlo also compared playing on a PlayStation to football management, citing former Barcelona boss and current Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola.
“Being a philosopher is to think, seek wisdom and have principles that guide and influence what you do,” he pondered. “Guardiola has taken all that and applied it to football, an imperfect science. He racked his brains and dispersed the fog, more through hard work than mere thought.
“What he's achieved hasn't been about miracles, rather a gentle programming of his players. It's virtual reality mixed with real life; a swim between the shores of fantasy and reality with Estiarte by his side. In other words, we're talking PlayStation.”

Each game will retail for $40.

While Disgaea 4 is a port of the existing PS3 game, it will offer "brand-new scenarios," all of the PS3 version's DLC, new characters and cameos from the casts of previous Disgaea games. Similar to the style of its predecessor,Danganronpa 2 is an adventure game that follows a highschool student's handling of life-or-death situations. Lastly, Fairy Fencer F is a new, turn-based RPG with character art by Tsunako. It also incorporates concept art by Yoshitaka Amano and music by Nobuo Uematsu, both of Final Fantasy fame.

That just leaves the PS3's Battle Princess of Arcadias to be scheduled, which was assigned a general 2014 release window with the other games earlier this year.

Season 2 of The Walking Dead haunts Vita next week

April 20th, 2014, 00:02 Posted By: wraggster

While the Vita still lags behind its console and computer counterparts, fans of Telltale's critically beloved The Walking Dead won't have to wait much longer for the second season of the emotionally charged zombie adventure.

Barring any unforeseen catastrophe, The Walking Dead: Season 2 will make its Vita debut on April 22. To make up for the delayed release, Telltale has opted to launch both Episode 1 and Episode 2 of the new season simultaneously. Come April 22, both episodes will be available from the PlayStation Network Store at a price of $5, though if you plan to eventually play through all five planned episodes of Season 2, you'll find that the $15 Season Pass offers a 20 percent discount over purchasing each episode individually.

Additionally, Telltale has announced that The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season is now available on Android devices including the Nvidia Shield, Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Kindle HDX.

Assassin's Creed series sales reach 73 million

April 21st, 2014, 20:37 Posted By: wraggster

The Assassin's Creed series has sold about 73 million copies, making it Ubisoft's best-selling series by 25 million units.
Ubisoft gave an updated look at its worldwide best-selling franchises on its official web page, providing cumulative sales figures for its 16 top-performing series.
The publisher's official list of best-selling franchises is included at the bottom of this article.
Ubisoft also revealed that it employs more 9,200 people, 7,800 of who are "dedicated to production." That puts it above Activision's "4,000+" figure and Electronic Arts current 9,000 employee headcount.
The firm remains the third-largest independent publisher in both Europe and the US. Ubisoft is expected to reveal much of its plans for the rest of 2014 and beyond at its E3 media briefing on June 9.

Final Fantasy XIV registrations hit 2 million

April 21st, 2014, 20:46 Posted By: wraggster

PS4 launch of A Realm Reborn helps push reinvigorated MMO past milestone
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn continued its turn-around story, as the game now boasts 2 million player registrations worldwide, Square Enix has announced.
Upon its original release in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV received scathing reviews from players and critics alike. The publisher halted subscription plans while it scrambled to fix a litany of problems with the game, and eventually opted to reboot the entire game under the moniker A Realm Reborn. The original version of Final Fantasy XIV was shut down in November of 2012, with A Realm Reborn arriving on the PC and PlayStation 3 in August of last year.
In its first two months of release, A Realm Reborn registered 1.5 million players worldwide and prompted Square Enix to improve its financial forecast. Last month, the company revealed it had more than 500,000 daily active users for the game. Those numbers likely received a boost last week as the game made its debut on the PlayStation 4.

Final Fantasy VII (PSX) German Retranslation Patch Released

April 21st, 2014, 21:40 Posted By: wraggster

Final Fantasy VII — the title which defined Cloud Gaming in 1997, telling the story of a young man with spiky hair, serious identity problems, and an enourmous… sword.
As the official German edition of Final Fantasy VII is such a rushed mess of typos, contextual errors, and unintelligible dialog, Cebix and friends have produced a retranslation of the game from the original Japanese, based on the text of Final Fantasy VII International.
Not afraid to deviate from the “established canon” of Western Final Fantasy releases, Cebix and friends have tried to create a localization which stays true to the original work but is comprehensible to a German audience (no “neechan”fansub bullshit), and fun to play.
Nearly the entire text of the game has been revised:

• All dialogs have been retranslated from Japanese.
• Where reasonable, names of items, monsters, spells, etc. have been adapted to the German terms used in later Final Fantasy games, in particular VIII and IX. So the Trank is now again a Potion, and spells use the beloved -ra/-ga suffixes.
• Some names unique to the game have been changed to bring them closer to their original form or their originally intended meaning, like Materia instead of Substanz and Midgarsorm instead of (the mistranscribed) Midgar Zolom.

Final Fantasy IX - God Save the Queen Released!

April 21st, 2014, 21:40 Posted By: wraggster

Here it is - Thisguyaresick2’s first hack is finally released! This is a hack of a game that is quite underrated among FF fans, Final Fantasy IX, for the PS1. It’s quite depressing that this game doesn’t get much love despite its overall beauty and critical success.
The Save the Queen sword is the same weapon that made General Beatrix what she is, a total badass! But back then, fans of this game were disappointed by the fact the sword was unusable after its acquisition through synthesis. And that’s quite funny, because even though Steiner couldn’t equip it, he could equip other swords of that same kind. The weapon was meant to be a mere item used to unlock a secret ending if kept in the inventory. And another disappointment is that the secret ending isn’t all that spetacular.
But now this injustice is long gone, and you can have the opportunity to use the Save the Queen as a normal weapon! Some power-ups were added to offer a better experience. Have fun!

Minecraft PSP [LC-Mod] 1.6

April 21st, 2014, 21:53 Posted By: wraggster

The Minecraft craze seems like it may never end, and it's further propelled by this new release by woolio and Joel16. By adding to what has been dubbed the LC Mod, these two developers have expanded upon the original work on Minecraft PSP to provide few unique improvements of their own. In this fresh build numbered at 1.6, there are more block textures and block types that players can build with. There's even a couple flowers for those that care to focus on minor aesthetic details when they craft. As a rather interesting addition, you'll even be able to view statistics on just how big your created map really is. See more info about the project below!

Changelog: Minecraft PSP Mod (v1.6)

• Fixed all block textures
• Added a lot of new blocks (sponges, (destroy water), magic blocks, different types of rocks)
• Added 2 kinds of flowers
• Changed cactus model (now they are similar to MCPC)
• Pumpkins upgraded (now they are similar to MCPC)
• Added statistics. Here you can find how much blocks you've destroyed and placed (more stats will be in the future)

Sandroron has released yet another great game for the PSP with Doodle Jump v7.0.0. This game was originally released in Russian sometime ago, but the developer has recently releases a translated English version of his earlier work for others to enjoy.

This is the global MOD of Doodle Jump v1.5 by Team Cheytac. This mod includes more than 30 themes!

Also, this is my first game that's why it was translated on Russian.

PSP/Vita: How to find your own exploits

April 21st, 2014, 22:00 Posted By: wraggster

I regularly get emails from people who want us to port VHBL to this or that game, or people who contact me with a game crash but don’t know where to take it from here. PSP (usermode) exploits used to be seen as voodoo magic, and doable only by an elite of hackers, until I started writing tutorials on how to do it, back in 2009. Finding an exploit in a PSP game requires brains, lots of free time, and minimal programming knowledge, but is nowhere as complex as most people think. The techniques to find them used to be a secret, not that hackers in those days thought it was a secret to be kept, but because nobody ever took the time to write the process down in a user-friendly way.

Those who have been following this blog for a while know that I try very hard to bridge the gap between the “hackers” and people who have technical interest in what they do, but don’t know where to start. It’s for this reason that my involvement with m0skit0′s Half Byte Loader (now VHBL) has always been about simplifying it to the max, and make it portable to as many games as possible, as easily as possible.

Today, finding an exploit and porting VHBL to it is not a one click process, but it is reasonably simple. Porting VHBL can be done within a few hours, which is insanely fast if you think about the months it took to create the tool initially.
