Now it doesn't need root key to vmc stuff and now vmc decryption and encryption is working great, added ISO9660 checks and LIMG check and creation. Thanks to flatz, aldo and many others.
Usage:
iso:
ps2classic d [cex/dex] [klicensee] [encrypted image] [out data] [out meta]
ps2classic e [cex/dex] [klicensee] [iso] [out data] [real out name] [CID]
ps2classic vd [cex/dex] [vme file] [out vmc]
ps2classic ve [cex/dex] [vmc file] [out vme]
PS2Classic Final Changelog:
ISO9660 Check
LIMG Support (Check / Creation)
VMC Decryption / Encryption fixed with the help of flatz by making new py script to rehash stuff so i can port it and now without. the need to use a root key to encrypt or decrypt your vmc's, thanks to aldo too by helping me in the process.
Now you see the progress being maded by decryption or encryption, so is more easy to wait.
Deciphering virtual memory card
If you don't want to use this cmd version is better to wait to the new version of Aldo Gui tool because it will have this added and some better gui improvements. Thanks to flatz, aldo and many others helping in the process.
Here also included something for those who want to modify or ripearlas isos more easily and are functional in the PS3. The process is very easy and simple using Expert 1.3 since the 2.0 version tends to have flaws with these images ISO9660 corrupting and ends.
Ripping or modification of any PS2 game
1. Crack the ps2classic ISO.BIN.ENC with great command line or GUI aldo.
2. Expert Runs 1.03 and continues to work the following order:
Extract LBA
Extract files (It will extract every file from the game in a folder with the iso name)
Now you can make your changes to the game(But obviusly you cannot just delete stuff because the LBA has an order you need to make some dummy file and rename it to the file you want to delete for example), you can mod everything too if the game have some modding tools for sure like gta sa, vc, etc.
Rebuild files (Now it will make a ISO with the game folder extracted previusly modified)
Rebuild LBA
3. Just encrypt that Game ISO modified with new tools like this new ps2classic command line tool or with new Aldo gui Ps2classic tool with new changes (Because this tools will now remake the LIMG section too). Now use the new ISO.BIN.ENC on the PS3 and check your changes.
Greetings
From CrUmp comes a PS2 ISO Renaming Tool called PS3CTool v1 (linked above) for PS2Classic v 1.0 with details below, as follows:
I only test with my mac. if you install python 2.7 on windows this should work too. i don't know if it's ok to put key file in this, so I didn't include it. put your ps2.key file in the same location, and include this folder in your $PATH like:
PATH=$PATH:/path_to_this_folder.
export PATH
The best way to play your PS2 games on your PS3 console is to convert them into PS2 Classic Games. With Multiman and PS2Classic container, you can have unlimited PS2ISOs loaded into your PS3. With [gameID] Game Title naming convention, Multiman will download the game cover if avaliable.
This tool finds gameID from within PS2ISO, and compare with online database to rename the ISO file names
This script works with ps2classic command line tool to make it more convenience to convert mass ISOs.
usage:
ps2ctool.py {option} isofile
ps2ctool.py isofile
ps2ctool.py netrename isofile
ps2ctool.py ALL ps2classic
ps2ctool.py isofile:
to rename an ISO file, adding [XXXX-00000] to the filename.
To rename ISO file with sonyindex.com database entry, in '[DISCID] FILENAME' format
ALL: in a folder to process every ISO under that folder, including subfolders. It will move ISO files to current folder, and re-name iso filenames against the database entries.
Finally, from u$er comes some proper PS2Classic Tool binaries (linked above) who states the following:
Hey there, i've compiled a set of PS2Classic binaries for you based on the latest changes. if you don't like using cmd-line apps, you can replace the one in PS2Classic GUI with this one.
ps2classic (bccb879)
GPLv3

algo by flatz
both linux and windows binaries shouldn't have any dependencies. cywin-1.dll is NOT needed which should speed up the file operations
NOTE: please remember to release source code if you distribute binaries. if you made any changes to the source code you have to provide the modified source code ofc.

Will test with my Fatal Frame 2 backup and update...
Well, Fatal Frame 2 works as well. This is exciting! I might test a couple more games from my PS2 library, but this is pretty cool so far. Definitely will extend the life of my phat, although the emulation doesn't seem perfect - does anyone know how to brighten up the screen a bit?
