PUAD GUI v1.2 - PS3 PUP Unpacker, Repacker and Decrypter Out

Should be Windows, although depending on what OS version you are running (x32, x64, etc) it may not work on them all. If I read anything about which are compatible with it I will update the main article with the details. Has anyone else got it to run successfully?

i got PUAD GUI.exe is not a valid WIN32 application ??

this is for windows or LINUX ?

Following up on his previous release, today PlayStation 3 homebrew developer nathanr3269 (aka Nathan_r32_69) has made available PUAD GUI v1.0 - a PS3 PUP Unpacker & Decrypter for Windows.

To quote: After some weeks of hard work I finally finished the new PUAD GUI, aka PUP Unpacker and Decrypter. Works without Cygwin, directly from Windows, if anyone see any issue please tell me. Pictures are created by J-Martin and is tested by largand79, thanks to both.

Yes go ahead and add me.

Hi Foo - upon launching the application by itself from the bin folder, it opens and closes right back up again immediately.

The same scenario for launching it with Cygwin. I just noticed you have Skype, may I add you? It'd really help me out to talk about it in real-time!
