Video: NZHawk Awesome PeekPoke Arrives, Dumps Live PS3 Ram

137w ago - Update #2: NZHawk has now made available PSPoke v1.0, PSPoke v1.1 and PSL1GHT Logger. Details on each PS3 homebrew application are posted below.

Update: NZHawk has also released PS3 Awesome Update Finder v0.10, PS3 Awesome Update Finder v0.2 and PS3 Awesome Update Finder v0.3 for finding PS3 game updates and QuickDumpR v0.1 for PS3 which is a tiny application that will dump the PS3 RAM to the HDD in 15 seconds from launch to XMB. It uses the same code as the Awesome Peek Poker, but takes up less space in the ram, thus a less messy dump!

NZHawk has released Awesome PeekPoke today which dumps live ram using peek/poke commands and posted a video of it in action along with a Patch App that will patch the offset 57410 with the data 48000098- launch it after every boot, and it will patch what ever you like!

Download: NZHawk Awesome PeekPoke v0.2 / NZHawk Awesome PeekPoke v0.2+ / Patch App + SRC

What is it?

Awesome Peek Poker is a hombrew application that allows you to view/edit the lvl2 memory on the PS3 during runtime!

What for?

Well, we can then apply patches to the memory. Things such as Hermes controller fix, PSN (Need the offsets) etc. I presume as we find out more about the PS3 and lvl2 there will be more patches shared with the community. And to begin with, why wouldn't you wanna play with the ram!?

Note: Pressing square to dump lvl2 will save the dump to "/dev_hdd0/dump.bin" please use the ftp server app by blackbox or use Comgenie's Awesome File Manager to copy this off to your pc.

Please delete an existing dump before dumping again! It will increment to the file!

Yes, there are a lot of bugs at the moment. But the core functionality is there! I released this 'early' due to school work taking priority for a few days.

Version 0.2+ has been compiled with the 3.41 SDK. This makes it smaller! (8.5MB) but only work on FWs 3.40+!

Changelog:

v0.2+
• Compiled with the new 3.41 SDK
• Now smaller file size! xD 8.5MB

v0.2
• Added option to dump ram (quick!)
• Fixed a few things up (Display related HDTV only at this time!)





PS3 Awesome Update Finder v0.10:

What is it?

You put the gameID of the game you would like the update urls for, and it'll give you them.

What for?

Find game updates :P

V1.00
• Initial release

V0.02

QuickDumpR v0.1 for PS3:

What is it?

QuickDumpR is a tiny app that will dump the ram to the hdd in 15 seconds from launch to xmb. It uses the same code as the Awesome Peek Poker, but takes up less space in the ram, thus a less messy dump!

Instructions:

Just download it, install it and run it. Then either use Comgenie's Awesome File Manager or an FTP app to copy it off for analysis on yout PC.

It dumps the ram to the same place as Awesome Peek Poker ("/dev_hdd0/dump.bin") so thats were to look. Oh, and be sure to delete a previous dump before you dump again, it will increment to the file.

Changelog:

V0.1
• Initial release

PSPoke v0.1 for PS3:

What is it?

PSPoke is a hombrew application that allows you to view/edit the lvl2 memory on the PS3 during runtime via the pc!!

What for?

Well, we can then apply patches to the memory. Things such as Hermes controller fix, PSN (Need the offsets) etc. I presume as we find out more about the PS3 and lvl2 there will be more patches shared with the community. And to begin with, why wouldn't you wanna play with the ram!?

This updated version is the network only version of my Awesome Peek Poker

Note: PSPoke does not allow editing of the PS3 Ram on the PS3, the idea is that you use a pc to connect via terminal. To connect to the ps3 use netcat as follows:

nc 2002

Changelog:

1.0
Initial release

Known Bugs:

Freeze on exit if you dont connect from a pc - PSPoke enters a blocking state while its listening for a connection, causing it to seem to lock at the black screen. To fix this, either restart the PS3, or connect to PSPoke via terminal.

Treat it as a beta

Future Ideas:

• Merge Awesome Peek Poker and PSPoke together
• Fix general bugs (which there are a few!)

PSL1GHT Logger for PS3:

What is it?

Just a quick lib that you can include in you PSL1GHT homebrew projects to log data to your pc.

How to Use?

Just add the log.h and the log.c files to the directory of your main.c. Open up your main.c and add the include as follows:

#include "log.h"Next we need to initilize the Logger by calling logInit(); during runtime:

logInit();Now we are all setup to log stuff! The function is similar to sprintf(); and you can logs variables directly!

log("Hello, World!);
log("Integer value: %i", intAge);Finally, when finished (ie, before you exit the app) you need to call logClose();

logClose();IMPORTANT!

You also must open the log.c file and change the PCIP and PCPORT to suit your needs!

PCIP = Change to the ip of the pc
PCPORT = 4000 is standard, but you can change if you want.

On the PC (I use linux (Ubuntu 10.10)) open up a new terminal and run

nc -u -l 4000
