To quote: Hi everybody, here to release my new update.

PS3Tools GUI Edition v2.6 Changes:

• Added CEX 2 DEX
  
• New Interface
  
• Fixed PKG decryptor button
  
• Fixed EDAT Tool button
  
• Removed second GUI form
  
• Minor bug fixes and code changes to perform better
  

I have been asked a lot recently to add in a debug PKG decryptor because all I had is a Retail decryptor & extractor. Well I did, but last minute checks, I noticed it was not performing the way I wanted it too.

So instead of releasing faulty code/tool on my program and say it works half way, I'd rather withdraw the feature until a further update when I can have it working properly to my standards and what should be most.

PlayStation 3 CEX to DEX:

This whole CEX to DEX is going around, I felt like adding it to GUI form had to...

54w ago - It's been a few months since his initial release, and today PlayStation 3 developer deroad has updated the NoRSX PS3 2D Graphic Library for the PSL1ght homebrew SDK to include TTF support.

To quote from his blog: My lib has been updated to allow people to use *.ttf files instead of my old experimental font. You can use any ttf loaded from memory or from hdd and print any kind of text as you want.

An example

This is the function that needs to be called to load a font from memory:
so for example if my font is Andale.ttf, and i want to load it from memory, i would call:

92w ago - It's been only five weeks since the last PSN TOS update, and today I received an e-mail from Sony updating their new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy once again, which also introduces Sony Entertainment Network as outlined below.

According to the new Terms of Service Agreement (PDF File), those who continue to use PSN must essentially waive all rights to participate in new class action lawsuits against Sony and agree to resolve such matters on an individual basis only.

To quote: On September 15, 2011, Sony Network Entertainment America Inc. ("SNEA") will transfer its online services operations, including your wallet and the funds in it, to Sony Network Entertainment International LLC ("SNEI").

The first time you sign in to your PlayStation Network account on or after September 15, 2011, you will be asked to enter into a new Terms of Service and User Agreement ("TOS") and Privacy Policy with SNEI if you wish to continue using your PlayStation Network account. Please review all changes...

106w ago - Hi, after the events this weekend regarding a domain issue I've had to release a new build to patch several glitches with premium memberships and some server side work to fix the advert not closing after clicking skip. In 3.90 these are minor changes, but we're required:

1) changed all server side links to pixolia.co.uk from pixolia.org. that's about it one small change to fix several issues...

Also I realised a few saying the advert got stuck, and in some / most cases people didn't click the skip button.

The advert shown at the startup will never close until you've clicked on the skip button unlocked after 5 seconds, it may take slightly longer on single core computers so be patient (old single core computers cause the multithreading to hang for a minute or two, nothing I can do about that.)

I've also reduced the number of advertisements on my website, I'm very disappointed by clicksor for allowing such issues to occur and have reported them to various sites about the risks they pose to consumer safety.

Due to these issues, I recommend...

107w ago - As a follow-up to the previous announcement, Sony's PlayStation Store Director Grace Chen is here with the return of the US (and European) PSN updates today.

Also, PlayStation Plus has been updated with new full game trials, free games and DLC, free avatars and even more discounts.
