i've got a better question, what's the command for creating a emu file. Riddle me that Batman... roflmao!

from what i've seen, the bd_emu option can only be used with the build command, but the command only see the option as a input file, & not a sub command. can someone shine a lil light on this please?

Hi,

I do not know how to create *. gp3 with ps3cmd.ex3 (if possible ?), but some information.

Open *.gp3 file with XML editor and tells: "*.gp3 file is uswell-formed according to msxml6 service"

Open with notepad, sections are repeated whatever the game.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <psproject>
  <volume>
    <disc_type>BD25</disc_type>
    <ps3_disc_name>KIOS-12345</ps3_disc_name>
    <ps3_date>2010-04-01</ps3_date>
    <ps3_copyright>sce</ps3_copyright>
    <ps3_producer>sce</ps3_producer>
    <volume_id>PS3VOLUME</volume_id>
    <ts_dir>2010-04-01 01:36:00</ts_dir>
    <fs_type>UDF2.50+ISO Lv3+Joliet</fs_type>
  </volume>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<psproject>
  <volume>
    <disc_type>BD25</disc_type>
    <ps3_disc_name>BLES-00229</ps3_disc_name>

    <fs_type>UDF2.50+ISO Lv3+Joliet</fs_type>
  </volume>

Files change  lsn="........"

<file enc="true" locked="false" rank="128" lsn="5340346" targ_path="PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN" 
orig_path="C:\usr\local\GP3\GTA4_BLES00229\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN" />

<file enc="true" locked="false" rank="128" lsn="448" targ_path="PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN" 
orig_path="C:\usr\local\GP3\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN" />

Maybe I can create a template, I have no knowledge to comment on that.

I tried some gp3 project and generates with ps3cmd.exe one bd_emu_image.emu. (but not those in the PS3)

option 1, normal.

-The application can not find error, and it works: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-de...de-109988.html

-The application is a mistake and does not work.
C:\ps3cmd>ps3cmd build kiosk_disc.gp3 image-emu.emu
Process started.
Loading project file.
Verifying project.
The following error(s) found.
[Warn] The number of sectors is smaller than minimum(600000).
[Error] /PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN : boot file does not contain valid version information.
Error: Process failed. error=FFFFFFFE

option 2, "forced"

The application detects an error,but still generates the image.

This requires modifying the TitleID, change by "TEST".

Open kiosk_disc.gp3 whit notepad:
Change:
<ps3_disc_name>KIOS-12345</ps3_disc_name>
to
<ps3_disc_name>TEST-12345</ps3_disc_name>
and save.

C:\ps3cmd>ps3cmd build kiosk_disc.gp3 kiosk.emu

Process started.
Loading project file.
One or more Warning messages reported.

Title ID is inconsistent in PS3_DISC.SFB (KIOS-12345), corrected to TEST-12345.
Title ID is inconsistent in PS3_GAME/PARAM.SFO (KIOS-12345), corrected to TEST-12345.

The following error(s) found.

2010-04-30 03:12:31 [Info] Process successfully finished.
Process succeeded.

Now if you create a image.emu: kiosk.emu 257 MB (270.204.928 bytes)

Verify image:
C:\ps3cmd>ps3cmd verify kiosk.emu

Process started.
----------
Parameters
----------
[Verify Image]
Application Type = L-Master
Input = (Image File) kiosk.emu

A simple use is to run self files,if there is another simpler way to do it, of course.

rename file.self --> EBOOT.BIN
change original EBOOT.BIN for false EBOOT.BIN (file.self)
Compile even error, launch with the PS3 from br-r or bd_emu.
You can run some, like ftpd.self, mkfs.self, others not.

gp3 files:

gta4.gp3 http://www.ps3news.com/forums/attach...chmentid=20372
kiosk_disc.gp3 http://www.ps3news.com/forums/attach...chmentid=20373

And that's all.

what is .gp3 files? who works?? that file do? sorry

hi

*.gp3 (generator project file) is the extension of the file where to save the compilation you created with ps3gen , so every time does not need to add files in ps3_game :icon0.png, PARAM.SFO, etc.... in USRDIR: EBOOT.BIN, etc.. that is saves your work.

file.pg3 contains the path and file name used for a particular compilation, but it seems ps3cmd need that file already created from the compilation, either in iso format or emu, if it is not still not working.

Not everything I say 100% certain, it is only theory that saw ps3cmd function.
