PS3 Artemis PS3 (r6.3): Cheating system updated with 4.8x CFW Support & New Features added

Developer @dnawrkshp originally ported Lazy Bastards's Artemis to the PS3. The PlayStation 3 port is a cheating system for applying cheat to games utilized on CFW/HEN enabled console's that also comes with a companion plugin (sprx) for additional functionality. @bucanero who you may recall is the developer who ported PKGi recently to the PS3. has now turned attention to updating Artemis-PS3 for 4.85 use and the developer has added two new features to go along. First, we have an Online Cheat Database that will allow you keep your cheats up to date with a simple online download and also a Local Database Update feature has also been incorporated into the system. Also a shoutout to @Berion who's designs still looks great in the GUI .

  ArtemisPS3
  
  An Open Source Playstation 3 Hacking System created under the Project Artemis initiative (http://www.gamehacking.org/artemis)​
  
  
  Your PS3 must be running CFW 3.55 or above (DEX and CEX supported)!​
  
  Installing Artemis PS3
  
  • Download the latest Artemis PS3 package
  • Install it onto your PS3 (method to install depends on your CFW)
  
  Installing cheat codes
  
  • Choose between installing the .ncl file on a flash drive or in the Artemis installation directory
  • For the flash drive make a new folder on the root called USERLIST
  • Inside the folder place any .ncl files inside it
  • Insert the usb drive into the right usb slot of your PS3 and launch Artemis PS3
  • For the installation directory method launch an FTP server on your PS3 (multiman)
  • Navigate to /dev_hdd0/game/ARTPS3001/USRDIR/USERLIST/
  • Place any .ncl files inside the folder and launch Artemis PS3
  
  Using Artemis
  
  • Launch Artemis from the XMB and selected your codes
  • Once you have selected your codes Press X on Start in the main menu
  • You should hear a single beep (if you hear three MAMBA failed to install)
  • From here you can launch the game or launch homebrew to mount the game
  • When the game has launched, a notification will appear telling you to press Start to attach
  • Once you are ready to use your codes in the game, open the in game XMB by pressing the PS button
  • HOLD Start until Artemis says that it has attached
  • At this point any codes chosen to constant write will be constantly writing
  • For any single write codes you wish to write again, just enter the in game XMB again and hold Start
  • If you wish the detatch (and therefore stop constant writing), enter the in game XMB and HOLD Select
  
  Creating cheat lists (.ncl)
  
  • NetCheat List Files are built into NetCheat PS3
  • Download and run NetCheatPS3
  • In the codes tab create a new code and name it as you wish
  • Within the textbox enter any NetCheat PS3 codes (or use the Codelist by clicking the square on the bottom left)
  • Finally click Save All and specify a save location for the new .ncl
  
  Creating advanced cheat lists (.ncl)
  
  New in Artemis PS3 is the ability to add option tags.
  These tags enable you to specify options for a code that has multiple effects for one address.
  Using tags instead of multiple codes condenses the overall cheats list.
  The format for an option tag is very specific and must be used exactly as described.
  A tag begin with brackets that surround an ID ([Z]).
  This ID must be a collection of capital Z's.
  For instance, a tag such as [ZZZZ] has an ID of ZZZZ. [zz] is not a valid ID.
  Following the opening tag are the elements, or options.
  Each element begins with the value that the option represents, an equal sign (=), and the name of the option.
  Elements are separated by semicolons (.
  So right now an option tag would look something like this: [ZZ]0010=This is 0x10;0020=This is 0x20
  But now we have to end the tag. To end an option tag you simply add a forward slash (/) in front of the ID and surround that with brackets ([/Z]).
  Finally to actually implement this as a value for a code, simply put the ID of the tag anywhere in the code you'd like.
  For instance, in Jak 1 there are 4 different types of eco states you can be in. Red, blue, green, and yellow.
  Each uses the same line. So the appropriate code using option tags would be:
  0 201FEE08 ZZ
  0 201FEE18 FFFFFF7F
  0 201FEE0C 00000040
  [ZZ]01=Yellow;02=Red;03=Blue;04=Green[/ZZ]

Is this compatible with COBRA? R5 always hard locks my ps3 when trying to use any cheatcode with any game as soon as I press start on the in-game xmb

R5 was compatible with Cobra, I have never had any issue with this app on 4.82, 4.83, 4.84, and 4,85 before this update was released. And I don't know how many time's I have had explain to people how to use it properly.

 

I know exactly how to use artemis, no need to treat me like a noob. it just won't work on my slim console while it worked perfectly with a fat one

Not treating you like a noob.... This one works just as good as the other versions, been messing with it for the past hour.

Constant crashing when mounting the ncls is normaly caused by RAM, i.e there is not eought left for the app to run correctly.....

Do you have any plugins running on your PS3..? When do you normally mount the ncl file to the game...?

 

only plugins running are webman mod and psnpatch.
procedure is: mount game with webman, load artemis, select codes, start game from xmb, bring in game xmb, press start, whole console locks up

How much memory is allocated to webMAN MOD in its Setup page..? I assume you mean the PSN Patch plugin and not just the app its self?

I mean where in the game do you mount the ncl? while its loading, in game, as soon as you see the pop-up..?

 

How much memory is allocated to webMAN MOD in its Setup page..?

Doesn't matter, it will lock up with all memory settings

go figure

while in game

while in game

Try with webMAN at minimum and remove the PSN patch Plugin then try it or have you tried this..?

Also are you on CEX or DEX..?

 

Artemis must offline in how to?

 

Had issues with r5 and sMan on rebug 4.84 on my slim. Gonna try this in a few days.

Something tells me it'll work better.

Update: actually had some spare time today, so I tried it on my rebug 4.84.
Works like a charm, compared to the r5. Network features works well too.

Great work

 

First off you will ned the ncl file for this version of FarCry 3.

Then you would do what you normally do on HEN, enable it,

Mount FarCry 3 like you normaly would but don't launch it, then open Artemis,

go to Cheats, find the cheats for your version of the game, select which ones you want to use> now you can either have them write once or constant by pressing square on the cheats>

Also having too many cheats enabled at once can crash the game. I normally have them on constant.

I normally have them on constant, now go back to the main menu and select start game, when you exit your ps3 should beep.

Now play the game you have mounted, you will get a pop up in the top right of the screen saying Artemis - Press Start to mount> DO NOT DO THAT YET, you have a small chance of crashing the game when the PS3 is under load booting the game.

Wait until you have loaded the game and are in gameplay then press the PS button on your controller and wait for the in-game XMB to fully load then press and hold Start until you see another pop-up saying Artimus Attched and wrote.

Now you should be good to go, if you want to disbale the cheats then do the same but hold SELECT until you see another pop-up.

Now Artemis is greatly affected by how much RAM is left on your PS3, if you have a ton of other plugins running on your PS3 it can crash the PS3, I would say only have webMAN running on your PS3 when uisng this on HEN or CFW.

Also when attching the cheats never do it when the PS3 is under load > booting the game, loading or saving (is inculdes auto save functions), during cut scenes etc as the PS3 is using alot of RAM to do this and you can crash the game and/or your PS3. Attach the cheats during gameplay....

If your need the NCL for FarCry 3 I have attached it to this post, it goes in the USRLIST folder of Artimus, this ncl is the only for this game and is for v1.0 of the game meaning play the game with NO game updates installed for it or they may not work as offsets get updated and such.



Pressing right and left on the D-PAD already did this > Right = skip forwards, Left = skip backwards....



Yep, it's a crap shoot with them > Most of the COD ones work, and COD W@W there is only an NCL for the US version BUT the ncl works on the BLES version as well.

See what I mean with it, all the ncls need going through and sorting out lol BUT that is a crap ton of work.



At some point I will, as I say it's a lot of work to do this with ProDG on DEX as this is the best way to do it as your basically "Live Debugging" the game to find these cheats so that Artimus can edit these strings and offsets in real time while you play the game. You can do it with IDA if you have the right plugins for it.....



Get rid of Overflow CFW, its buggy as hell and not very stable, not a good combo to use this app with, install Ferrox or REBUG Lite instead.

I tried as you told me
But the device is stuck
I have tried with Army of TWO™

Its possible that them cheats don't work, there are a lot of the for different game's that don't. I don't currently have this game to test it myself on HEN.

But lets try and see if it's something else causing a system crash... do you have webMAN installed on HEN and if so how much memory is allocated to this in the Setup page.... also do you have any other plugins running on your HEN system..?

EDIT: I know that the FarCry 3 one I gave you does work but his was on CFW as I have this game and used the NCL myself, but should work fine on HEN as well.

 

Pressing right and left on the D-PAD already did this > Right = skip forwards, Left = skip backwards....

oh yes left/right did skip , but only 5 items at a time. (at least on dnawrkshp's source code)
so L1/R1 skip 25 items at a time. (5X power up! )
(actually my original idea was to use the triggers to skip letters, like B -> C -> D... etc, but ran out of time)

 

I installed the new version launched my game then i opened the app applied cheat
but when I launched the game and pushed the PS button the notification to write the cheat didn't show.

 

Artemis must offline in how to?

I don't fully understand the question, but if you need to use it 100% offline, just unzip this file ( http://artemis.nerv.gq/cheatdb.zip ) in the /USERLIST/ folder.

thanks for your feedback, I'm glad to hear it's working properly

 

Can these cheats be played online? If you were multiplaying?

 

Works good =) thanks

 

Can these cheats be played online? If you were multiplaying?

you can try cheating online, but from what I understand, most game servers have security measures against cheating and if they detect it, you'll get banned.
I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Can these cheats be played online? If you were multiplaying?

Want to discuss how to cheat online find a new forum..
Just sayin
Not what we are about here. Cant respect the network find someplace else.. Not just to you just anyone in general.

If one wants to be banned easily be my guess and hope ones does get banned for cheating online in any form (and you will). We did not open psx-place so you could learn how to cheat online.

 

I installed the new version launched my game then i opened the app applied cheat
but when I launched the game and pushed the PS button the notification to write the cheat didn't show.

did you hear a single beep when you selected to "start game" on Artemis? if you have webman mod, try to see if the artemis plugin (slot #5) was loaded or not.

when you launch the game do you see any popup to attach ? just to be sure, try the XMB and hold "Start" for a bit, to see if you get a pop-up or not.
