PS3 Tools Collection by Aldostool's has received some more updates the past couple of days. The Bruteforce Save Data, lastGAME Customizer, PS3 Cheats Editor, PS3 Games Database, & PS3 Ftp Data Sync Apps have all received an update in the recent days. Checkout all the details below.

Bruteforce Save Data 3.4.2 updated 2013-02-24!
It's a frontend for flatz save data tools 0.2.3. It finds the keys of several games in seconds and let you resign your saved games. A wide selection of cheats is also available to be applied to the saves.

New features: Direct FTP download/Upload saves from/to PS3, unlock saves to work on any PS3 account, unlock saves with FAKE account id, added support for Game Genie cheats, fixed issue with patch SFO.

Special thanks to flatz, Alex @ CMP, skillerCMP, gingerbread, butnut, acab and many others ;)

lastGAME Customizer 1.1 updated 2013-02-23!
This new tool takes advantage of the customization options that multiMAN's lastGAME applet offers, allowing to create PKG files that mount games, PS1 games and AVCHD movies directly from the XMB, without having to launch multiMAN's GUI (btw lastGAME = multiMAN without GUI).

Features:

Current version supports lastGAME 4.1 and 5.0
5.0: loads the new multiMAN's payload on 3.55, 4.21, 4.30, 4.31 (requires multiMAN 04.20.00+ for PSX)
4.1: loads Hermes payload for firmwares 3.41, 3.55, 4.21, 4.30 (multiMAN is not required)
Allows to connect to PS3 via FTP to retrieve the list of games installed on HDD or on external devices
Supports drag & drop of multiple folders (x:\GAMES) to create multiple PKGs instantly
Supports command line interface (CLI). Use /? for info.
Allows to mount ISOs (PS2, PSP, PSX, DVD, BDM) and load remote backups (Cobra dongle is required)
Support direct boot (certain games only). Games that require BD mirror are not supported.

Changes in 1.1:
- Added support for lastGAME 5.0 and lastGAME 4.1
- PSX BIN/CUE images can now be launched from XMB on non-Cobra firmwares

Special thanks to Master ДеянК

PS3 Cheats Editor 2.7.6 updated 2013-02-23!
Edits the cheats database for ps3usercheat (st.dat). Allows export/import cheats to the database in text and binary formats. 3.55 CFW is required.

Now the cheats compatible with the EBOOT hack can be identified easily. This version includes a cheats database for 531 games compiled by gingerbread @ ps3hax and a link to his discussion thread. Thanks to @SkillerCMP now the EBOOT patcher supports code type: 0T00 (8bit), 1T00 (16bit), 2T00 (32bit), 4T00 (Serial codes), 5T00 (Copy codes)

New features: Creation of PKG for patched EBOOTs, improved tagging for cheats compatibility with EBOOT patch, updated the cheat database with gingerbread's update containing 532 games, fixed issue with version numbers.

* Special thanks to skillerCMP, gingerbread, BahumatLord, haxxxen and bungholio for the tutorial about converting CU codes.

PS3 Games Database 1.1.5 updated 2013-02-22!
This tool lets you search easily through a database of PS3 games.
You can build your own database of collected games in CSV format and use this tool to view and organize it.

The db.csv included is just an example. You have to build your database yourself

New features: Auto download images from PSN store, save database to CSV file, import list of games from USB drive, FTP server or clipboard

PS3 Ftp Data Sync 1.0 new 2013-02-22!
It's a backup utility that copies the selected folders on the PS3 to a local folder on the PC. Only the new and modified files on the PS3 are downloaded to the PC. The new files found on the PC are copied to the PS3.

Set the local folder to a DropDrox's folder and you have a cloud backup solution of your PS3 data

Also i would like to take this time to wish Aldostool's a Happy Birthday today from PSX-Scene

@aldostools , is there a guide somewhere to follow the correct steps on how to add the cheats to an EBOOT.BIN file in PS3 Cheats Editor 2.7.6?

I have a rough idea, but here goes-- please feel free to correct my steps:

1) patch elf to open ELF (select the EBOOT.BIN and it will create an .ELF version of it)
2) select cheats (make sure they can be used for patching EBOOTS).
3) then Apply Patch to ELF

Question: from there, how do I make the cheat patched ELF back to a .BIN file?

I am trying to do this to BCUS98116 Killzone 2 to the EBOOT.BIN file found in the USRDIR game backup (not PKG Install)

Please try using the build 2.8 (it has some fixes related to PKG creation).

the steps are
1. Press "Patch ELF" button -> Open ELF (select the EBOOT)
2. Select cheats
3. Press "Patch ELF" button -> Apply Patch to ELF
4. Press "Patch ELF" button -> Make SELF
5. Press "Patch ELF" button -> Make PKG

@aldostools , is it required to create the PKG? I thought it can work by just replacing the EBOOT from the game disc?

I will try this new version, thanks for the update. I just wanted to report that the previous version, the little hour-glass doesn't seem to go away after I do this step: Press "Patch ELF" button -> Make SELF

Thanks for the great support! You are a great Dev!

Update: I was using version 2.7.6

I have an issue with PS3 Game Updates:

There are a couple of my games that are not properly recognized by the program to list the updates for download, they are:
- BLUS30762-[Battlefield 3]
- BLES01661-[Sleeping Dogs]

If it is a version 1.00 disc EBOOT without update, just replacing the EBOOT in USRDIR is enough.
The PKG is required if you have updated the game (or you'll need to transfer the EBOOT to the /dev_hdd0/game/TITLEID/USRDIR folder using the file manager or ftp).

When you install an update patch, the update PKG redirects the EBOOT to the /dev_hdd0/game/TITLEID/USRDIR/ folder.
Even if you replace the EBOOT in the USB drive, the PS3 will continue using the file in the EBOOT from the internal HDD, unless you delete the game data.

Try updating pasting the codes in the text box of PS3 Game Updates and update manually.
Maybe there is an special condition with your games... it's difficult to tell without the files.

@aldostools , I'm not 100% sure about Killzone 2. I think it was a 1.01 game when it first came out. I don't have an update for it installed nor does it require game data.

I followed your instructions for only the EBOOT.BIN replacement for the disc game (on v2.8). And I got an error when I tried running the game on my PS3--something that your previous version (v2.7.6) at least did not do when I tried the EBOOT.BIN file it had created

So I then created a PKG (using v2.8) and installed it. That one did load the game, but the cheats I selected does nothing for me. Well, it's not working. (cheats: Infinite Ammo and Infinite Grenades) -- unless I have to start a new campaign?

Any ideas? I am running this game from external HDD and since it's a 4GB+, multiMan created a cache on the Internal HDD for the large file. Game is: BCUS98116 Killzone 2

The way I seek the updates is by typing in the game ID in manually (BLESXXXXX / BLUSXXXXX). Every game that I have backed up works except for the 2 games I mentioned

Maybe the issue is with the cheats for that game and not with the program.
Try using the cheats with another game.

I can't tell you if that cheat works or not... I rarely play games and the rare times I do, I never use cheats

hitman989: these title ids work for me in ps3 game updates. I pm'ed you the links.

@aldostools , yes, that could be a possibility that the cheats don't work. I'll try some other games.

But I am concerned that the new version created an EBOOT.BIN file that created an error when I tried to boot up the disc game. Your previous version did not get an error, even though the cheats would not work. Any thoughts to this?

I'll report here when I find a game that does work. At least to rule out that the app is not the issue.
