PS3 ps2classics game manual creator (for ps3)

hi guys, im glad you found succes, i would like to ask my net-pirates again, do anyone know how to create ps1classic manuals (DOCUMENT.DAT format) for the ps3? pop-fe is able to create them but only for the PSP (even though they also seem to be in DOCUMENT.DAT format)

Sorry for late reply.
Kozarov reverse engineered how DOCUMENT.DAT was encrypted on PS3
so pop-fe can now create DOCUMENT.DAT for PS3.

hi bro, this is tremendous news!

so there is an update for pop-fe that allows DOCUMENT.DAT (ps1classicd manuals on ps3) to be created?

when did/will the update release?
 
It was added a little while ago and current release has this support.
i will have to try it and come back, cause last time i tried (like 3-4 months ago) it didnt work (it claimed it created the file, but didnt show in-game on ps3), so we can use our own pictures to convert them into a manual with the program now?

You can specify your own images to use.
Put all the images in a dedicated directory and then
./document.py encrypt ...

hello

i downloaded popfe1, but its the interface version where i have to create a whole pkg, and that doesnt have the "document.py" file in it, where can i download this file?

for now, i was able to create a DOCUMENT.DAT in the following manner:
with popfe1 i selected the smallest ps1 game bin-cue (nekketsu oyako)
makmde a pdf or .ZIP file with images inside in the order i wanted them, i tried 1920X1536 png images with transparancy they worked (it had to be pdf or zip cause i couldnt select a regular directory or picture with the program)
converted into pkg
then extracted the pkg with aldo's tool and took the DOCUMENT.DAT, put it in my already installed game's directory (USRDIR, CONTENT)

Oh, sorry. document.py is not built for the windows package on github, but it is in the source repository if you checkout the entire git repo.
So you need to checkout the sources and have a working python environment setup, then you can call it directly or via "python documet.py ..."

But the way you used also works. Though it builds the full pkg which is timeconsuming if you just want to create just the document.py.

A quicker way to do what you did is instead of letting the process finish and then using aldos tools to extract it from the pkg,
once it has created the manual, you can kill the process right there and then and it will be in :
pop-fe-ps3-work/DOCUMENT-tmp/DOCUMENT.DAT
Will save a little time for you if you just want to create a manual but don't care about the pkg.


I never really expected many people wanting to just do "create manual" so I never set anything up to build a document.exe in the github workflow.
(I don't have any windows machines outside a few virtual machines so I don't put too much work into the windows workflow)
Using document.py directly was mainly for me to debug and test it while I implemented it.
I could set the github windows workflow up to build a command line version of document.exe for the window package if you want. It would have to wait until next weekend but I can do that.

Otherwise, if you need to do this a lot I suggest setting up a python environment so you can just run document.py directly from the command line.


Anyway, I am happy it worked for you.

EDIT: I will open a bug to remind me to fix it so you can select a directory containing the images and not just a ZIP or PDF file from pop-fe-ps3
