Disable Cinavia DRM Proection - PS3MFW Builder Task

Today, PSX-SCENE member tical has shared with us his new task for the PS3MFW Builder. This new task, change_cinavia_files.tcl (Change Cinavia DRM affected files), takes three sprx files which include Cinavia checks, and replaces them with DEBUG (DEX) files that do not include these Cinavia checks. There still needs to be work done on removing the Cinavia check from bdp_plugin sprx. For now basically, "Cinavia is now disabled for all DLNA playback and copying, but Cinavia checks on AVCHD and BD playback are still present." Below is the author's original announcement:

I have traced the Cinavia DRM checks to 4 separate sprx files and after a long time trying to patch these files I have found that 3 of those files are present in the DEBUG (DEX) firmware don't have the Cinavia DRM checks enabled. Files are videoplayer_util sprx, videoplayer_plugin sprx and videoeditor_plugin sprx.

I have successfully copied these 3 sprx files from DEBUG (DEX) FW 341 over to my retail PS3 unit running OFW 341 using dev_blind and Cinavia seems to be now disabled. I've confirmed this by playing back a number of Cinavia affected video files.

This means that Cinavia is now disabled for all DLNA playback and copying, but Cinavia checks on AVCHD and BD playback are still present with Message Code 3 that mutes the audio as the sprx file with the Cinavia check bdp_plugin sprx is not present in DEX firmware because BD playback is disabled in DEBUG. If someone is able to patch Cinavia out of bdp_plugin sprx this will be solved too.

I have created a new task for PS3MFW so this can be easily made part of any new MFW's as needed. Any FW version that has had the DEX firmware leaked should be able to be used to create a CFW of the same version. eg DEX 3.41 -> MFW 341 or DEX 355 -> MFW 355 etc etc. Don't use sprx files from different FW versions! See git hacks for change_cinavia_files task source.

Big thanks to the KaKaRoTo and REBUG team for their community contributions as this would have never been possible without the knowledge they've shared with us.

I also created a CFW I call it NFW (Newbie Friendly Ware/ named by tthousand) it has all the patches of Kmeaw w/ cinavia disabled and spoofed to 3.66. Keep in mind the only way to revert back to another FW is though Recovery Menu!! 3.55-NFW (Newbie Friendly Ware)

No it's not spoofed (I figure whoever wants it spoofed can use REBUG spoofer) only thing I took out of the video column was netfix which probably wouldn't show up in Australia anyway. is pulse7 and ABC in video or TV column (if TV it is now called The Homebrew Channel) your best bet to QA flag is to use This FW then install and run This PKG then update back to your normal FW go to setting go all the way to the bottom press L1+L2+L3+R1+R2+down(on D pad) and the Debug (QA flag) options should show up (I'm working on trying to make them show up without button combo for my next release)

no, what I should have said (and meant) update back to your preferred FW (CFW, MFW, OFW, or even NFW)
