PS3 PS3 legacy store revival [WIP]

LeGamer

Forum Noob
I'm now currently working in parallel of the what's new server, the legacy store of the ps3 with a project conveniently named Legacy PS3 shop restoration project

ill give up new on the project advancement but here is some screenshot of it working and the server logs
(i don't know why but i alwase do api for those type of project)

i almost forgot to mention when the project will be ready it will be posted also on github so people can selfhost
(right now for fact i have over 1047 xml files all downloaded right from sony servers (scrapped by my own ps3 by just browsing the shop) [right now for a fact scrapping is stopped as i've started the experimentation phrase])

sorry if the post is hard to read im still getting used to how psxplace forums works!

ive added a couple of stuff and would need help on other (wich i think are critical enough that even i got stopped by them)
+legal docs html (just show stuff that are funny nothing serious)
+some part of the movie section (considering restoring the comic section too)
+custom ads

where im blocked
- creating custom category (it crosscheck between the psn server (native-ps3.np.playstation.net and or ac.playstation.net)
- lockout on the init for the psn account (would need a spoofer of the psn xml so the shop log us as a fake user [to bypass the psn requirement server])
- unability to preserve the checkout / product page (it ask a cdn server / ps3-native.playstation.net)

whats is interesting to note:
- ac.playstation.net is only for the bootup it is not required at all for the rest of the shoping experiance [it still give the primary xml for the account settings and ticket id]

my worries:
- it being too close to the psn that bypassing it would be a nightmare

if anyone want to help me that have time i would greatly appreciate it

That's nice!

It was in my plans to work on it, but I haven't started yet. I only patched the SPRX to use the old PSN instead of the new one.

When you create a github repo, please let me know!
 
hi! that would be greatly appreciated as its been day 4 and im still blocked by those 3 block of psn checks witch you can come handy
here is the boot sequence of the legacy store btw:

boot up -> download xml (game base, video base, video top) -> download images (ads displayed on thier front page -> psn authentication -> [0] -> if success -> download rest of xml (eatch ad xml) -> [if clicked on ad or category] -> download xml from server (whatever tittle id is set on the server) -> [cross check tittle id provided with psn tittle id list] -> [1] -> if success -> show movie / appsfrom psn xml -> [if clicked on movie/ apps] -> [psn content id download] -> [2] -> if success show product page
[0] -> if failed -> prompt error "general connection fault" or "psn connection fault" if autheorisation cookie isnt valid from ac.playstation.net
[1] -> if failed -> prompt error "80023110" (or translated from experiance "tittle id non existant on psn side" -> show no apps or movie in category
[2] -> if failed -> prompt error " this content isnt availible from this account" -> get back to category

i want to note that all we have to do is to do a offline init check (psn check) by giving random authorisation cookie header (my server) will see and just say yes and give the account xml data wich its structure said in the sprx file

and custom product validator and category validator
here is the GitHub with everything ive used to do the stuff (if you have a discord or a platform we can chat on directly that would be greatly appreciated)

https://github.com/LeGamermc/Legacy-Store-PS3-project

i also want to note this incase you wonder: the sotre make often some calls to native-ps3.playstation.net for some reason and doesnt inpact any function what so ever when blackholed

That's nice!

So can you help me or not i see you forked the proget even tho that wasnt my main point (i didnt realy wanted to have a fork of a unfinished project especialy if its to ignore me afterward) i would rather apreciate if you did work on my repo by doing merge request and all and or issues as i truly dont feel confortable you copying my repo whitout telling me even if its for a backup i do take this as a betreyal (personaly)

the repo has been set to private ethier way as a protective measure if you wish to work with me i would love you to add me as a friend on discord: legmaer_dc so we can discuss over this thanks!

(also i would ask you to please take down the repository fork you made about my project as i do not like the action you did whitout telling me first i hope you will understand this)

@LuanTeles is legit around these parts. You need not worry I'm sure. You will find the help and resources you're looking for.

Keep up the great work so far. Keep us posted on your progress.

Well, I have many PS3 projects that I'm currently working on, and to be honest, I've been quite short on time lately.

That said, I believe that once files are made available on GitHub without any licence, they are public, and anyone is free to fork them without any issue. I don't think this should be taken as a betrayal, nor should there be an obligation to notify someone before making a fork.

I made the fork purely out of curiosity, so I could follow your progress and potentially help.

Also, if you didn't notice, I was the one who patched the SPRX to use the original PSN version, so nothing that was posted there is new to me.

I forked the project with the intention that, once I finish my current projects, I could follow your progress more closely, contribute to it, or even build my own work on top of it. As I mentioned before, this has always been part of my plans. I've already developed a homebrew platform with the idea of eventually using the LEGACY PStore for it.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but forking a public repository hosted on GitHub should not be considered a betrayal.

EDIT
I've made my fork private, as you requested!

thanks a lot and ive checked (sorry for the massive delay the store app im making is taking so long to make haha) but im sorry for havign this idea earlier yk and i want to work with you honeslty

im very thankfull for you even taking time on checking this as this mean the world and again im so so sorry you have no idea

oh and i want to add something! i think for the legacy store its pretty dead in term of how far we will be able to go that why im trying to code the new app that will be a better pkg store than what we had for the psn store still with a massive polish and care on it to not be like a "Yet A Other Pkgi Clone" or YAOPC in short if you are interested here are some pics of the work (still in early dev there is massive stuff to work on but i genuinely try my best some area are still rough but will be very much polished)
