PS3HEN Feature Request for PSN Activation

[Frank.Bullitt]

Hey all,

I'm wondering if it will be possible to add a way to activate an account for PSN content without signing in online.

If this was made possible in HEN similar to the way PSNReact can create a spoof act.dat, people who are unable to activate their accounts normally can then do so.

I did try using PSNReact to activate an account, but sadly it resulted in a BSOD while using the latest PS3HEN build.

This would also future proof the use of such content when activation via PlayStation servers is no longer possible.

Hey all, sorry if this post is annoyingly nooby

Has anyone had any luck creating an act.dat using ReActPSN on HEN?

I've read the forum posts about HEN activating .rap files on the fly (which is totally awesome by the way), so I'm not trying to convert .rap to .rif using ReActPSN (I did originally try this way and it didn't work anyway), I'm just trying to spoof an act.dat.
The act1.dat disappears if I change the name to act.dat and the act1.dat doesn't seem to make a difference in activation for me anyway.

If anyone could help me activate my system offline I'd really appreciate it. I'm trying to install my own pkg files from PSN after I upgraded the internal HDD. The previous HDD is sadly no longer useable and I can't retrieve my act.dat.
Trying to activate it online throws up an error (I ran out of options and logged in while HEN was inactive), it only allows me to activate the ps3 for video, not games, and I was unable to download any of my content under the downloads section other than one dlc .pkg for Arkham Asylum, I'm guessing this is because some dlc doesn't require activation.

Thanks so much in advance if anyone is able to help.

maybe try making a new user and then sign him up for a new account and try activate.

if you have your rifs, you can convert thems to raps and let hen activate them with the new users profile. games will then work on your other user with your save files.

From what I have read, (I think it was @bguerville that mentioned it) it is possible to create a fake act.dat on HEN, it just has not been implemented yet as there is no major need.

So do not worry, if Playstation 3 servers get taken down, someone will add it.

This all worked perfectly, I backed up my save files to usb using Apollo, deleted all the ReActPSN files I could find in home/exdata, created a new account and deleted the old one. I signed in to PSN and it activated no problem.
I had already tried deleting all the ReActPSN files in this directory previously, perhaps there were still some files somewhere making activation impossible?

Thanks for the advice, very much appreciated

ReActPSN just doesn't play well for me on HEN, I'll be glad when the option to activate offline through HEN is implemented, that is great news and I appreciate you letting us know
