PS3HEN Using fake act.dat with PS3 HEN

For activation of licenses, the system needs to be activated ie have the "act.dat" file by activating the system via PSN. On CFW reactPSN can inject fake act.dat, but the problem comes for HEN users, since reactPSN cannot work with HEN (as it fails to get the correct console id (idps)). This poses a big threat to video game preservation in the future as when the psn support ends for the PS3 users will not be able to get their systems activated and hence not able to play games in psn (.pkg) format.
I found a workaround to this, first I will obtain the idps from the HEN console using homebrew tools, then I would spoof my IDPS as that of the HEN console on a CFW console, use reactPSN to generate the act.dat and then copy the act.dat from this console and put this act.dat in the HEN console in the exact same directory where it should should be if the act.dat was created by PSN.
Will this method work and will my HEN console be activated allowing me to activate licenses.

This issue has been already solved in the latest version of Apollo save tool.

Just install and use Apollo to activate a HEN console offline.

edit: here's a Spanish video showing how to activate offline

Thank you so much for the tool.
Like reactPSN will it create a new aa account and activate it or will it activate my current account, also when activated i should not connect to psn as it will pose increased chance of ban for using fake act.dat.

Apollo will activate the current account, it won't create a new account. Just keep in mind the account must be an offline account with no linked account_id.
Apollo will take the current offline account, assign a fake "account_id", and then activate it, generating the act.dat .

For best experience on PS3HEN I recommend having webman mod installed, as Apollo will create a config file for wMM to automatically restore the fake act.dat file when HEN is enabled. (if you're using HEN the fake act.dat gets erased on each boot)

@bucanero just for curiosity ... this action of fake act.dat will be erased every time the console is restarted, for hen users, can it be improved in the next revisions ?

thanks for your hard work bro

it can be solved by changing the PS3HEN plugin code, so it restores the fake act.dat file when launched. For that, some code should be added to the HEN plugin and a new release has to be published.

For that reason I included a workaround: you just need to have webman mod installed, and it will do the same thing (restore the act.dat file when HEN starts)
