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

[sardine fish]

why? you have a dongle so you don't want to convert it?

[TATOUINE]

It seems a bit hard to do such a thing (CEX to DEX) for rookie

can i install dex without working bluray?

[arktos]

is it just me, or does payed psn content not work with dex firmware? i have tried to run dead nation us or puzzle quest, both activated with rap, and i get a 80010017 error (cannot decrypt?)

edit: found workaround. if i decrypt the game with given tools and make a discboot game and mount with backup manager i can play it without problems, but only if the psn pkg is installed, too

I got a 256KB dump and the app CEX2DEX by gunner54 say that I created successfully my DEX flash. I made 2 dump of my actual flash with 2 different programs (dump_flash.pkg and memdump) and I got the same output.

how can I know if the metldrpwn dump is ok and I'm not going to brick?!?

tnx!

I am not profession with linux, but it was pretty easy to change from cex to dex.

i hope more people will stop using dongles and change to dex firmwares, that the community around it can start to work on nice tools like multiman for 4.20, bigger gamehdd (4 games sucks, i want 100 )

[ironhide666]

can something like this be done in dex 4.2 to decrypt eboots and get them to 3.55 without the cex->dex mess and the lose of bd-drive?
