PS3 TrueAncestor EBOOT Resigner v1.12

[maddenmike95]

@maddenmike so we can resign orginal eboots without problem with this tools ? And what tools do you use to repack pkg ?

Yes you can resign any original eboot fine, and the tool I used to repack pkgs is PS3 SDK Package Maker and PS3 PKG Tool v0.5, I think make_package_npdrm.exe is the best, I just have to try it out and see.

*Edit*
I found a package making tool in ASToolPS3 3.0 but I can't get it to work at all, it keeps telling me missing eboot.

can this resigner be used to patch patches for games? if so how? i may experiment with a few patches later.

also how do you get the fix for borderlands 2 to work on the pal version of the game?

You could get this to work with games, but that's kind of pointless. Just use the original 4.xx game eboots.

This is for homebrew. Correct?

[madzak]

You can resign any eboot up to 4.25 to work on 3.55, just use the number 6 option. I've already fixed skylanders spyro's adventure, skylanders giants, mlb 12 the show, madden 13, re operation racoon city, re 6, and biohazard chronicles hd collection. So far all of them worked for me on 3.55 after fixing them with this program, and I used the original eboot to fix them all. Also I used the the number 5 option to fix biohazard chronicles hd collection, I just extracted the pkgs with package view and had to put in the title ids. Then after it fixed the eboots I repacked the pkgs and installed both. (RE Umbrella Chronicles and RE Darkside Chronicles)

please how do you unpack change game ID and repack PKG?

tried this with DOA5 ... creates an Eboot fine but Black Screen on Load ... game asks to update to 1.02 though !

I used my other BAT for SCEtool to try to reencrypt the elf and i get this
[*] Loaded keysets.[*] Loaded loader curves.[*] Loaded vsh curves.[*] Error: Please specify an application version.

DOA 5 might just make it worth it to upgrade finally Meh

DOA5 has an "sdat" so there are additional steps to take before it will work.

[froid_san]

for the record this works on Armored Core V BLUS30516, never found a working fix for BLUS all are for BLES. i always got a trophy error if i use the BLES fix on the BLUS one.

i'll try in on some of my games some more.

The resigner actually signs DOA5 EBOOT.BIN to 3.55

the problem is the model_shader_pack.sdat , its an encripted file on the game
that must be decrypted and resigned in order to play DOA5

why I am so sure about this?
because I used model_shader_pack.sdat from ninja gaiden 3 on Doa5 game
and It loaded , but it frozen at the main menu...

we need model_shader_pack.sdat decrypted and reencripted (resigned) in order
to play this game

[FlashBE]

Is there another way to find out the content_ID? I'm asking this because I have an installed pkg, but I don't have the original pkg file anymore so it can be "read" with pkgview.

Guys, i played around with this and was able to take a 3.72 firmware game (Saints Row 3) and patch the eboot down to 3.41. I was then able to take that entire image and run it thru the older 3.60 resigning process and it works flawless. Hope someone can use this information.

[Blueprint88]

I am going to play with this and see if I can get NBA2k13 working of 3.55 and also see if I can get ratchet and clank collection working on 3.55. Also I am on TB and yes because they used DRM protected eboots you can't resign them. They would have to release their own tool which because they are tools they won't do. Also, not all TB games that were patched had standard CFW eboots released. Those guys did release about 150 or more patches for TB and while most the major ones were converted to standard CFW, not all of them were. Still there are a few workarounds for you TB users. One is after you update to 4.3 delete your game install data, go into multiman and try to do a game update. If there is an update it will install and your system will then use that eboot to boot the game and not the TB hacked one. Also search some of the other forums like ps3crunch and you will find threads with original eboots posted that you can grab and replace the TB ones. Last choice, just stay on 3.55 with a tool like this and other peoples converting eboots daily you will have most of the new stuff available to play without updating. If PSN/SEN is your thing then update and use the methods described to fix your games one by one. Lastly....you are getting all this stuff for free so quit your bitching....lol.

Can i use this on e3 cfw 4.30? My old psn games is not working, which pkg should i resign is it the crack, update or the full game pkg?

Not fully sure and wanting to mess with some of my PSN stuff myself, but seeing as this resigns eboots the most likely thing that would work would be to FTP to your PS3 HD, pull the eboot out of the PSN game folder, resign it, and replace. Not sure how much success you would have with the packages and you would have to depack, resign, and repack and that seems like a lot of extra work when all you really should need to do is fix the eboot. Another option now that the games don't need fixed for firmware version would be to just reinstall the stock game, get a .rap file for it and run ReactPSN to properly activate it to your consoe, you can also use a pc program called rap2rif. There are archives with craploads of rifs in them so you can get the rif files for just about every game released. This might be a better route as then you would not even really be running a hacked or firmware modified version of the game. I have been a little busy with all the new mods out this month as well as playing the xmas season releases but I have an HD full of PSN stuff so I will get on it eventually and try some of the things I am recommending to you to see what works and provides the path of least resistance

Also, should work the same with E3 or Rogero as they are using the same keys so resigning to 4.x should work with either.

[Blueprint88]

Does anyone know how or if I could use this with Ratch and Clank collection to make work on 3.55. It has a a launch eboot but then also has .self files for the individual games. I am guessing resigning the eboot would get the game launcher to work but won't the .self files also be signed for 4.x? Is there a way to depack the .self files extract eboot and sign or is their a tool for resigning self files or would it be as simple as renaming them to elf and letting the tool do its thing? Any help would be appreciated as I would love to give these old PS2 remakes a play on my 3.55 console

What can you use repack a pkg file after you fixed the eboot? I'm on 4.30 CFW

There is a lot of older stuff out there but it freezes or just doesn't work.

Thanks

Just use psn_package_npdrm.exe

Here is the script that I use.

This will repack a Game Update as it stands, to change it to make it pack a PSN Game instead change the following 2 lines
from:
echo Content_Type=GameData >> "reencrypt.txt"
echo PackageType=DiscGamePatch >> "reencrypt.txt"
To:
echo Content_Type=GameExec >> "reencrypt.txt"
echo PackageType=HHDGame >> "reencrypt.txt"


To use this script you need the original .pkg file and a directory with the extracted/ fixed files in the same directory as it. You then drag and drop the original .pkg file on to the .bat file and it will create you a new .pkg file.

To extract the original pkg file I use PkgView.exe

Hope this helps, any problems understanding this please ask.

What is the command line I need to use for psn_package_npdrm.exe

psn_package_npdrm reencrypt.txt dir_with_stuff_to_go_in_pkg

in reencrypt.txt

you need for a game update

Content-ID=the content id from the original pkg file
k_licensee=0x00000000000000000000000000000000
DRM_Type=Free
Content_Type=GameData
PackageType=DiscGamePatch
PackageVersion=the package version from the original pkg file

or for PSN Game

Content-ID=the content id from the original pkg file
k_licensee=0x00000000000000000000000000000000
DRM_Type=Free
Content_Type=GameExec
PackageType=HHDGame
PackageVersion=the package version from the original pkg file

ok but if I just drag and drop the original 3.55 pkg it won't work right?

I have a pkg that worked on 3.55 but it doesn't work on the 4.30 cfw


So I can't get this to work on 4.30 cfw?

I think the last time I used the repacking programs was maybe once or twice 3 years ago.

Thanks

Extract the 3.55 pkg using pkgview.
Use the resign tool at the start of this thread to resign the EBOOT.
Use my script to recreate the pkg. I assume you are resigning a PSN game.

This will then make a pkg designed for 3.55 work for 4.21/4.30.

[MasterCrucifier]

OK Here is what I did

I use PKView to extract the pkg and then I used resinger and it creaded a eboot for the PSN Game.

Now I have the UP0001-NPUB30206_00-0000111122223333.pkg and the UP0001-NPUB30206_00-0000111122223333 folder and I dragged them to the bat but im getting errors.

will try again and let you know how it goes.
