HIP2HIS

This is a new software to convert a PARAM.HIP file to a PARAM.HIS (HIS are used by the PS3 as a change-log file). it can be viewed by going Game -> Triangle -> Update History 

This file needs to be located in the same folder as the PARAM.SFO ( /dev_hdd0/game/TITLE_ID/PARAM.HIS ).

Done!

I uploaded a new version of pkg_reader and added the awsome pupunpack for PSVITA PUPs (i built this one right now. just 30 mins :D it works as the ps3 version. )!!

i hope that these tools will be useful someday!

i want to thanks fail0verflow team for their src. it's really useful for me (i made a few changes to the files to allow debug message)!

ps: the vita version was written entirely by me!

EDIT:

I will not write about this here anymore. if you want updates of this, check the git.

PS3TUTORIALS update

I've update the PS3Tutorials wiki with a new page.

[PS3Tutorials] How to call a Syscall

as always, i hope that someone will find it useful.


Someone can check the grammar please? i'm not English and i usually make tons of grammar errors. thanks!

SFO Reader and SFO2SFX

Since today sandungas talked about a bug in the old SFO Reader, i immediately fixed it (you can find it here: http://ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Dev_Tools#SFO_Reader).
Then he started talking about SFX.
they are simple XML files that the ps3 can read as SFO.
this is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<paramsfo add_hidden="false">
  <param key="ATTRIBUTE" fmt="int32" max_len="4">0</param>
  <param key="CATEGORY" fmt="utf8" max_len="4">IP</param>
  <param key="PARENTAL_LEVEL" fmt="int32" max_len="4">2</param>
  <param key="TITLE" fmt="utf8" max_len="128">Beat Sketcher™</param>
  <param key="TITLE_05" fmt="utf8" max_len="128">Beat Sketcher™ A mano libera</param>
</paramsfo>

so i converted my SFO reader into a SFO to SFX converter.

you can get it here http://ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Dev_Tools#SFO2SFX

i hope that someone will find it useful.

Led Changer v2.0

This is a completely new version of Led Changer.

The app allows you to change the colour of your system's LEDs (the power light) and keep it also on the XMB or while playing games/homebrews.

This is NOT permanent; the first time that you turn off your PS3, the led will go back to normal
This version does NOT need any kind of external drive. all you need is a JoyPad; just it.
Now the app is Lighter (from ~1.2 Mb to ~145Kb), Faster, for all TVs (HD/SD) and Easier to use.

Before installing, you can delete the previous version (if you want to get more space).
