PS3 Geohot releases PS3 jailbreak for firmware 3.55,

[KezraPlanes]

So I believe I have just signed an emulator... Where do I put it on the USB stick so it appears on the install thingy?

 

[Richlando]

I would say the Game folder although the pkg installer scans directories..

 

[KezraPlanes]

Just USB0/GAME?

Should be able to pick up any PKGs placed in the root directory.

right in the root
edit: what x3 said

 

[KezraPlanes]

Just to check, does anyone know how to sign a old homebrew pkg?

I may be wrong, but I think geohot said old homebrews won't work.

u need the homebrew's elf, i'm not sure how to extract it from the eboot.bin of the old homebrew

edit: figured it out, i'll use PS3Tetris as an example:

extract the pkg file
use unself on the EBOOT.BIN in the pkg to get the elf
use make_self_npdrm on the elf and name it EBOOT.BIN(important), and a title, like so:

make_self_npdrm PS3Tetris.ELF EBOOT.BIN PS3Tetris

replace the old eboot with the new one
re-pkg everything
use package_finalize to on the pkg file
install

Forget that, I got the eboot.bin changed. Now How do I put it back in the pkg? The tool I used only lets me extract stuff

 

[slicer4ever]

sounds good, where do I get the tools to extract and repackage hb?

for extracting packages: http://psgroove.com/content.php?618-PSP-PS3-PSN-PKG-Decrypter-Released
as for re-packaging, check out psl1ght's source, i think it's a python script

I'm trying to use makepkg but it asks me for the following terms:

makepkg [key suffix] [version] filename.pkg dir_with_files

What the hell is a suffix?

I get an error saying:

key_get() failed
no such fle or directory

 

[slicer4ever]

key suffix would be app315 i think, but not certain

 

[KezraPlanes]

key suffix would be app315 i think, but not certain

I use:

makepkg [app315] [1.0] mednafen.pkg mednafen

But it still errors out =\

I suppose it should create a pkg named mednafen from the files on the folder mednafen. But it's not working.

Signed elfs can be run on a pure 3.55 FW, no?

EDIT: Where are you guys finding all this stuff, I hate being in the dark.

 

[slicer4ever]

hmm, well, i don't make pkg's that way, the python script included with psl1ght is here:

http://pastebin.com/u0bJ8U7c

and here's an example of use:

pkg.py --contentid UP0001-TEST00003_00-0000000000000000 build/pkg/ PS3Tetris.pkg

@zero, technically yes, but their's no way to install them without the modified firmware

That's awfully complicated D:

lol, i never said it'd be easy, i'm sure in a day or two, a simple tool well be available to update older fw homebrew

 

[Richlando]

Ok so LOL on the agreement during the update but didnt care for the system chirping like a bird and shutting down without my selecting for it to after updating. Update went fine except for some icons missing after for a few games. No true big deal there I guess..oh and if you have PS3Testris signed and ready..Um..link?

Currently playing Chrono Trigger snes9x355 testing out genesisplus and fce as well. Idc about backups but love me some emu..

 

[Riorio99]

I'm fantastically tempted to try this out, but I'll wait until someone reports PSN bans or bricks first. If all goes well in a few weeks, I'll be running SNES roms. Awwwww yeah.

 

[KezraPlanes]

I'll be connecting to PSN this Friday, so keep your eyes peeled I will tell you if I get banned or something like that.

Using this for Genesis/Snes9x/Mednafen and loving it.
