oof. thanks everyone for the replies, i guess thread can be closed... i went with building launcher pkgs instead of rewriting SFOs

So, here we go. You can ditch these pre-compiled ISOs and make your own disc. One way is to burn it with any software you want, be sure to make it UDF 2.50 or 2.60. Note that ImgBurn always finalizes disc so it can't be altered later. I didn't test multisession and didn't test burning several...

LOL that's really dumb of me, totally forgot about rewritable media. there are no blurays sold around me so i only googled for blank disks. What Explorer can do, is when you insert empty BD-R, it asks to format it and under the hood it's UDF 2.60. Disc then is treated as read-write partition...

Great to know! I tried to look at pre-made ISOs and compare with ones i could create from scratch. They seemed to have a lot of padding (empty zeroed space around files) so i decided not to bother. It's great that you can just burn files to a UDF-formatted BD-R. Btw, did you finalize your disc...

That should work for including/overriding, but not for removing existing stuff like PIC0, SND0 or animated icon, right?

Hi, guess it's OK to post about my own development here? I made an alternative tool to build shortcut/launcher pkgs. Got idea from Webman-Classics-Maker but different in several ways: * single binary, no dependencies * instead of patching paths and resigning binary from pkglaunch, i figured a...

Soo.. I found Webman-Classics-Maker but it didn't work for me, so i decided to finally get into homebrew development and made another builder for shortcut packages, PkgMaker. Releases are on github: https://github.com/Rast1234/ToolStation @aldostools i recently asked you about relative paths in...

XMB displays /PS3_GAME/PIC1.PNG from disk or mounted iso as background (also ICON0, PIC0, PIC2, SND0). If the game is JB-style folder or pkg, one could just replace these files. But is it possible to override them without modifying disk or iso? I've seen some official update pkgs that get...

Sure i do. This war is absolutely catastrophic. Unfortunately people who oppose it are ountnumbered and silenced. So it's sort of fair to receive negative attitude just for being russian, i get that.

At least windows asks before doing stuff now. I remember reading an article about arcade copy protection where developers deliberately left some commonly-used bytes on HDD empty (MBR drive id or something) and any windows machine silently inialized it with random values, rendering HDD unusable...

That's getting interesting now :)

This is just theory: should be OK to try if you don't edit anything while copying data from it. I'd avoid Windows because it could "fix" something silently (eg partition table, labels, part ids...). However i have no idea how PS3 behaves when new drive is inserted. BTW i have SSD on PS3 and it's...

Thanks for the input! If PS3 remembers HDD hardware info, then we can expect PS4 to do the same. Of course i would've checked this myself, but, to be honest, my scenario is more complicated and i won't bother messing with it right now...

Hello. I have spare SSD of the same size as my PS4 internal HDD. If i do raw 1-to-1 copy (with dd for example) and swap them, will PS4 accept new drive? I tried googleing but didn't find anyone who actually confirmed this working or not. Does PS4 check drive serial number and whatnot so clone...

i just compiled info from scattered sources so have no idea about EID4 vs eEID4. in this particular case my source was here: http://forum.redump.org/post/61023/#p61023 Anyway, images decrypted with this stuff are usable :) And devwiki says only about "eEID", don't see "eEID4" or with other numbers.
