PSX-SCENE Forum Discussion for Sony PlayStation/PsOne/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS VITA
  • Full access to PS2 Memorycards from PC!

    Update: The MC2USB-Tools called 'PS3MCA-TOOL v1.3' which were released yesterday by our valued PSX-Scene-Developer & Moderator Jimmikaelkael and an anonymous hacker/source, along with the 'FMCB 1.8c-Loader' actually grants FULL ACCESS TO PS2 MEMORYCARDS!

    After 2 1/2 years of silence, Jimmikaelkael today officially released the FMCB1.8c-Loader, which is the first released PS2-MC-KELF generated from scratch.
    The new MC-KELF-Generation was invented by Jimmikaelkael and a source/hacker, which prefers to remain anonymous.



    Here's a list of commands:

    Code:
    PS3MCA-TOOL v1.3
    Copyright (C) 2011 - jimmikaelkael & 'someone who wants to stay anonymous'
    
    Usage:
    ./src/ps3mca-tool <command> [<arguments>]
    
    Available commands:
    	 --mc-info, -i
    	 --mc-free, -f
    	 --mc-image, -img <output filepath>
    	 --mc-unformat
    	 --mc-format
    	 --list, -ls <mc path>
    	 --extract-file, -x <mc filepath> <output filepath>
    	 --inject-file, -in <input filepath> <mc filepath>
    	 --make-directory, -mkdir <mc path>
    	 --remove-directory, -rmdir <mc path>
    	 --remove, -rm <mc filepath>
    	 --file-crosslink, -cl <real mc filepath> <dummy mc filepath>
    	 --content-key, -ck <disk kelf filepath>
    	 --sign-kelf, -k <disk kelf filepath> <card kelf filepath>
    So beside being able to create multi-region-installs and those other features you can see at the other news-post, there are also these features (as of yet) already integrated:

    -Get MC-Info
    -Get free MC-Space
    -Dump&Write binary MC-Image (Virtual MC-Images used in 'OPL'!!!)
    -Format/Unformat MC
    -Basic file- and directory-creation&access (read/write files and folders from/to it + delete/undelete files and folders)

    About the FMCB-Loader it comes with:

    -Compared to the FMCB 1.8/1.8b-Loader (the same in both versions), this one comes with the feature of fixing the Protokernels (a 'memory clear issues' with the ExecPS2-Call) on old consoles during runtime [when it/FMCB is started].
    This fixes a few programms, which are normally incompatible to those Versions, like ESR and Cogswap.

    -The generated KELF is 100% SONY-Free! That means, we can provide pre-encrypted 'Disc-KELFs' legally and everyone can re-sign them for their MCs to 'MC-KELFs' by these tools.
    That's thousand times better especially for those who install it for others, since the KELF previously were re-signed DVDPlayer-KELFs from the PS2s ROM.

    -Multiregion-Install is now possible from any PS2 for all regions!


    There is no PS2-side Homebrew-Programm a.k.a. new 'FMCB-Installer' currently supporting those new features, but Jimmikaelkael announced that he might work on it in his free time...

    Aditionally: The driver MIGHT be compatible to other MC2USB-Adapters too, but it wasn't tested by Jimmikaelkael.

      That github repository has been taken down after complaints from Sony. So the stuff needs to be released elsewhere, preferably in some place immune to Sony attacks. Best regards: dlanor

      Good! Scared Crabs make mistakes!

      But a quick G00GLE search yields dozens of sites that have ripped this story from PSX-SCENE, so it's not hard to believe their watchdogs spamming them with "OMGZ! PSX-SCENE OWND US AGN!!" Haha!

      Well, but this time there seems to be another reason also... PlayStation News: PSN hack leaves Sony 'hyper vigilant' - ComputerAndVideoGames.com Also,... In theory this could even be a 'gate' to PS3-homebrew on FWs higher than 3.55. You never know...
