PS3 CEX (Retail) to DEX (Debug) Conversion Method is Released!

[rikukh3]

sguerrini97, modified make_package_npdrm (psn_package_npdrm) can't repack it correctly (I say it for third time!). It doesn't mean DEX PS3 don't have support of retail finalized EDAT. All previously installed retail patches (with edat files or not) works fine.

I don't know for nand but when you extract a nor dump (with norunpack.exe or FlowRebuilder) in "asecure_loader" folder there's a "metldr" file, you need to put this file in "metldrpwn" folder and then "./run.sh".

ok worked now, does this look all right:

[Randalajoe]

you can check by extracting the first 48 bytes and save in a new file "eid_root_key.bin" - get your nor after this if you don't have already - and then use with CEX to DEX tool : c2d.exe eid_root_key.bin flashCEX.bin flashDEX.bin - will only work when you nor and root key are valid

btw: sguerrini97 can you contact me via pm ? can't send you one and don't know why - would need your help if I may ask for it.. I'm back in a few

Hi there,

how do you install retail pkg on a debug console? I mean coz dex console don't allow to install them.. could you tell us how? you should be use a debug pkg? or not?

[X3nophon]

Well, you have to unpack the retail pkg and then repack it with psn_package_npdrm.

Thanks for your answer but rikukh3 just checked and can confirm - you can't correctly repack any update with EDAT files inside. It installs but fail on loading. Tried with psn_package_npdrm, force_package_npdrm, make_package_npdrm_retail, make_package_npdrm_debug... They all fail.

Updates with EDAT installed before converting to DEX works fine, tested on 4.10 game 'meikyuu touro legasista', which works from usb just fine.

Means that actually 80% of actus has edat files... I had checked a few of them... but anyway is a big step

thanks
