“We believe that the platform has a lot of life left in it. Two, three, four years; we think there’s time left in the platform. It depends on the content. We have a good lineup this year and it looks like a good lineup next year. We need to keep fueling that. We really have to keep PS3 alive. And so to do that, we have to further the content. I think there will be a good story for the PS3 over the next year to two years.”

“Anyway, this is an open-source alternative to edat/sdat file handling. The tool can already decrypt and decompress most edat/sdat files and it now includes an encryption routine as well. It’s still under development and it would be great if more people could test it with their own files since a lot of edat flags are still widely untested and the encryption mode is still very basic.
I’ve been reverse-engineering these file formats for RPCS3, but most already available tools are closed-source, so I decided to write one to which anyone could contribute.”

“In more detail, there is a PS3 program and a PC program. The PC program requests the controller data from the PS3 and uses that with config from the user to interact with a program (probably an emulator). Then the PC will send the current screen to the PS3 and the PS3 will display that image on the TV. At this point, the image is sent as an uncompressed png file (probably one of the problems) to the PS3.”

Abkarino releases PlayStation 3 NAND Flash Tool v2.0
“Hi All,
As i promised all lovely members of PS3HAX here, I’m glad to announce the release of my own PlayStation 3 NAND Flash Tool v2.0 that implement my new NAND sorting algorithm & RPS’s ECC calculation algorithm (credit goes to RPS for the ECC calculation algorithm).

This tool is a replacement for the famous FlowRebuilder tool for handling PS3 NAND dumps.
What is special in my tool, since flowrebuilder could do the same process?
The special thing in my tool that it can handle all NAND dump types even that one that Flowrebuilder can not unscramble and make unified dump out of them cause it have some bad blocks in some critical areas that affect FlowRebuilder sorting algorithm.

I had done a hard work to finish this tool and discover how PS3 handle such NANDs

No more bad block remapping process, No more paying for someone to remap and patch your dump, No more uploading your full RAW dumps that wast your time, bandwidth and of course your money also

I’m not the only one that discovered this algorithm, there is some well known devs that do also, but they did not well to share any info/tool to handle this dumps, they do it only as a service.”

“the novelty of this is that it’s being developed by one person ONLY, however that person could already run several tests on it flawlessly.
probably in a space of 2-3 weeks you’ll see the first RSX sample being run on it, because Alex would be finishing developing a backend for it (something in OpenGL/DirectX,etc)”

KaKaRoTo releases ps3xport and states that it will be his last release for the PS3 scene
“What does it do? Well, it’s basically a tool for manipulating the PS3 backup data. When I say “PS3 backup”, I’m not talking about a “backup” of a game, no.. I’m talking about the full PS3 hard drive backup that you can do by going to “System Settings->Backup Utility” on your XMB. That creates an encrypted directory on your FAT32 hard drive which allows you to format your PS3 and then Restore it just like it was before. I’ve reverse engineered the file format and encryption and PS3xport allows you to create new backup data from scratch, or dump existing ones, or delete specific files from a backup or do a whole lot of other things to your backup folders. This gives you total control over your /dev_hdd0 and /dev_flash2 filesystems, which will let you install homebrew on any console, even if it’s the latest OFW version. Unfortunately, just like it was 3 years ago, you wouldn’t be able to run those homebrew apps you install due to the NPDRM ECDSA signature missing. If you have your IDPS though for example, it could let you restore a backup from one PS3 to another PS3 without losing any of your data in the transfer.”

flatz releases idpstealer
“Privet, PS3 fans! Once KaKaRoTo published his backup tool I’ve decided to bring a way of getting a console ID (IDPS) to the community. It can be used on OFW/CFW firmware and you don’t need any additional software/hardware installed on your PS3.
However there are several cons about releasing:
1. A big company will fix it in the next firmwares.
2. It can be used to steal other people’s IDs if you have an access to their consoles.
And it seems this is the only method of getting console ID without using hardware solutions on the moment. So please, if you want to get an IDPS from your console then do it as fast as possible because I think this method won’t work in the nearly future.
How it works:
IDPstealer works as a proxy server and intercepts all network traffic (including SSL traffic via HTTPS over HTTP tunneling) and it tries to get IDPS from it. It doesn’t contains any malicious code and can be safely used like any other proxy server.”
