  • UPDATE: True Blue ELF Dumper & Source Code Released

    As the demise of True Blue continues. Shadoxi a user over @ PS3news has released a True Blue EBOOT/ELF Dumper for the scene, which allows you to dump True Blue encrypted EBOOT/ELF files once loaded. It is stated that even though this will not cause a brick, caution should be taken when playing around with your PS3 files. With that said, enjoy your non-DRM protected game backups.

    Tested on:
    - Original 355 -> ok
    - True Blue CFW v2 -> ok
    - ...

    There are some bugs (size of dump ...) but it work

    Warning:
    It will not brick your ps3. But i am not responsible for any damage.

    HOWTO:
    - Enable dev_blind with multiman
    - copy libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx from /dev_blind/sys/external/external to dev_hdd0/ and rename it "orignal_libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx"
    - copy my modified "libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx" to /dev_blind/sys/external/
    - load a True blue game from multiman
    - exit multiman
    - run your game
    - wait few minutes (if you get black screen after 3 minutes reboot ps3)
    - exit game
    - go to ftp
    - in dev_hdd0/ there are your decrypted DUMPEDBOOT.bin
    - copy and rename it with another name.

    Howto uninstall patch :

    Two ways:

    - You could uninstall this patch by replacing modified libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx by orginal libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx

    - Or uptade in recovery mode

    Thanks to: Ps3dev
    UPDATE1:
    To Quote: deank
    Changed:
    • Doesn't stop dumping when it reaches embedded ELF
    • Dumps 35MB of RAM in one write call (so it takes ~1 second)
    • Dumps are saved in /dev_hdd0/RAMDUMP-##.BIN where ## is from 00 to 99 for 100 sequential dumps
    • Doesn't really require the original sprx, since loading never succeeds anyway
    • Tested: dumps mM, Beyond Good&Evil HD PSN...
    • Rebuilding the original 'elf' takes few minutes if you know what you're doing

      i'm trying skyrim first, i know it's a fixed game on 3.55 and TB but if i can replicate and make a proper dump it's a start right?

      how long will i wait for the black screen?

      @ bahamut
      yeah your right i'm also being lazy and im waiting fro some one to try, so the hell with it and i'm gonna jump in and wait no more, since i have a TB

      deank says a couple seconds, but I saw on crunch a guy talking about 10-20 minutes. I'd say just watch the hard drive light. If it looks like it's not doing anything for over a minute or two it's not going to do anything

      okay i'll just let it load for a couple of munites while i go buy something to eat.

      any recommended TB games to dump for me to try? cannont guaranted my dumps, since from the previous post i read are people having porblem with getting dumps with TB inserted.

      I have dumped Ratchet and Chlank 4 I got 3 .bin files the first 2 are RandC4 the 3rd one is MM I tryied to load the Rand C eboot 1 through mm with the tb dongle inserted by double pressing the eboot.bin from the Rand C folder in my GAMES folder and it will not load like the patched TB .bin would so I took hjsplit and renamed the 2 bin files to .001 and .002 merged the files and renamed it EBOOT.bin

      I put the new eboot file in the RandC folder and double pressed on the new eboot and it loaded to the XMB and was mounted I push in the games and I get the 800xxxx error so atleast when I combined the 2 dumped files the eboot mounted.

      I tried loading it from 3.55MFW and still get the 800xxxx error.

      Its a start but we are still missing something in the proces

      hm... i got 2 dumps in two tries it seems my 1st and 2nd try dumps are identical and i think the 2nd one is from multiman but the first dump is only 936kb

      btw i'm trying skyrim

      @froid san
      Do you have a TB dongle and is the 2nd file 1510 kb if so that is MM
    1. froid_san's Avatar
      froid_san -
      yes i have a TB dongle

      and my 2nd file is 1.43 MB (1,507,456 bytes) 1473kb, i'm still on 04.04.04 MM

      strange thing is, i tried another game and still same dump. MD5 checksum verified.

      any idea's? what i'm doing wrong?

      Deank's file never worked for me. MM always goes black screen after game(Game never works already and have to restart PS3). I have to reinstall CFW everytime.When I go mmOS there is no dumps. Shadoxi's is always same ~900KB for game and ~1.5MB for MM. And these are elf files not BIN files. There will be a few more steps to build an EBOOT.BIN if dumps are correct.

      From what I hear you have to use the latest MM 04.05.
    1. froid_san's Avatar
      froid_san -
      updated to MM 04.05. but still same result like kada's having.

      @kada

      no need to reinstall CFW when using deank's file, power on the PS3 without TB and replace the libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx with the original. It's seem deank file doesn't work with TB dongle attached.

      somebody complie what BahumatLord posted on page 3, we might have better luck with that

      ok now i'm confused in the instruction it was stated

      - copy libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx from /dev_blind/sys/external/external to dev_hdd0/ and rename it "orignal_libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx"
      - copy my modified "libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx" to /dev_blind/sys/external/
      in the source code it said

      //Author:Shadoxi
      //Replace libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx in flash/internal by this code
      //Some evil crash due to size of dump
      in deank's source code it's

      // Author: Shadoxi
      // Modified:

      // Backup the original /dev_flash/sys/external/libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx to /dev_hdd0
      // Replace /dev_blind/sys/external/libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx by this sprx
      notice the diference? so which one to follow, truly the "how to" made a typo about "/dev_blind/sys/external/external" but what about the note on original source saying about "libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx in flash/internal" and deank's file to bakup /dev_flash/sys/external/libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx

      Thanks for advice I'll give it a try. Now I'm started to think dump games from discs. If I'm not wrong MM boots on 4.20 DEX and 4.20 DEX can play original discs? Anyone tried this? If MM not working with 4.20 DEX what about 4.11 Hybrid FW?

      I tried on 4.11, it didn't work. Almost nothing boots at all, and the one thing i did get to boot, it's eboot wasn't dumped.

      well then, ive been watching the scene since i got back from all the festivals this summer, and wow its been getting real crazy. lucky for me im stuck on older games still. i wonder if all the new patches work discless on a cobra. i dont like having a disc in the system, and i think the cobra is still the only way to get all games 100 percent discless. could b wrong tho.

      @Mitdog - if you got a successful dump please upload it and give me a link. propJoe offered to try to fix whatever we're able to dump. No promises - not everything will be able to be fixed, but he's an expert at it. If he can't do it I doubt it can be done
