PS3 SAK (Swiss Army Knife) v1.00 released!

[CJPC]

Figgured the DL wouldnt work, but thanks for trying anywho, worth a check (never knew if they just 'forgot' to stop that gigantic possible hole)

RE: HDD, there IS a HDD backup feature in the XMB, use that!

[sniper78]

Ok I did what was answered to my question. I just hooked my 400gb external hdd and saved all my stuff to there. Then reformatted. The loaded everything back on.

[CJPC]

Excellent that everyone enjoys it, maye a bug-fix release soon (tho it seems, not too many bugs (aside from the no password network backup one)

KAZAK, its a bit more complicated than that, you need to backup your bluray (you could do it over the HTTP interface, download each video file), decrypt it on your pc, then stick it on a fat32 external hdd, and do it that way, but its a bit complicated, and not covered in this thread!

[CJPC]

Naah, you see, the program (if you do fat32 via the PS3) will automatically split the iSO when it dumps, to 3.5gb files (then just use a file combiner, or even cat/copy to rejoin), and extract.

OR easier, use the HTTP interface to download all of the encrypted video files to your PC, and decrypt that way!

I have installed Sak on my ps3 but I didnt knew I needed a keyboard so now i am locked on SAK Os and I dont know how to go back to ps3 os or reeboot with ps3 controller cotroller if some one can tell me what to do I will aprecieate thanks rdv

[CJPC]

Read the page before, it shows how to do it. (Basically, shut your ps3 off from the back, turn it back on, hold the button down for about 5 seconds till it beeps = it resets!)

What is the no_password bug? if you mean no windows password for the user of the machine you are dumping the iso on via LAN. it works for me - when using it from the console menu. But, i have not been able to successfully use it via HTTP page. Is that the no-password bug?

cjpc i did backup the bluray movie but i could not combine the files the extension is .aa .ab and so on. whats a good program to do that? and what do you mean by cat/copy i lost you here.

Well, Copy the files off the External HDD to your PC's hdd (ntfs formatted I assume?) Then just use copy or cat to combine.

For example, in windows (from our old pal Creaturez):

"Just do COPY/B FILE.000 + FILE.001 + FILE.002 FINAL.ISO"

So, eg (in a command prompt) do: COPY/B Blu-Ray.aa + Blu-Ray.ab + Blu-Ray.ac Blu-Ray.iso
