PS3 Debug PKG Test File fun!

[PS3 News]

Today in iRC EFnet #PS3News our resident PS3 Dev'ers threw together a PS3 Debug PKG Test File displaying "PS3News.com!" (as pictured) in the PS3 Game Data Utility screen (the PS3 sees the PKG File as a 'GAME' File). If it is installed to a non-Debug console it will likely return the following "80029567" error as it is activating prior to downloading. We do NOT recommend attempting to install it to a retail PS3 console- do so at your own risk! It is intended for examination purposes ONLY. :cool3

From this simple PS3 Debug PKG file test we are now able to include executables while making PS3 .PKG files, and also it's no longer necessary to burn to Blu-ray Discs while testing code on Debug machines. For those curious, both make_package_npdrm and make_edata_npdrm were used (along with the two images- the second splash image isn't shown) in creating the test PKG File. Word is, next up is a peek into the CELLFTP.self (which allows you to dump the PS3 side of the HDD). =]
