The news team over at French website Logic-Sunrise have announced that an official tool package for Sony's PS3 has been leaked, Generator Tools v3.12. Along with the tools is an included user guide, available in English and Japanese. The software is used to create and verify master programs, as well as master discs. Anyways, the tools can be summed up in the following summary; roughly translated by Google.

Leak from Generator Tools v3.12, an official package of tools by Sony
Sony is unlikely to appreciate that! Indeed, a package of tools of his own design has been leaked on the web, and while this set of software is not of paramount importance, it still proves that no one is to shelter of a leak, not even the multinational influence.

But back on topic, and now let's look at this "kit" of programs, called Generator Tools v3.12 and used to offer PS3 titles to the public. It is intended for the creation and verification of records and masters Masters packages. In other words, developers of video game studios use it to edit projects, burn an ISO image on a Blu-Ray, extract and decrypt the same time the content of a Blu-Ray or an ISO image, create a file system (SFO), etc.. You can find all these features and further explanation concerning the PDF from the archive below.

Am i the only person that is thinking: can we use this to burn a ps3 iso to a bluray and it would work since *this is an official tool* and put it in the ps3 to play the game without cfw?? O.o or am i thinking to far and you actually need a special drive to do this.

You have a great point. We would love to see some great effects come from this leak.

the guide even gives what drives worked and which didn't *the .txt file atleast* but im guessing this is an outdated leak for earlier versions *of the ps3 firmware* from looking at the pdf and the text version... but still very informative and may be useful

sorry to put the downer on it but burning a bd-r woudlnt be the same as factory pressed media. I only mean in the hope of a burned bd-r running on ofw.....there is a code on a factory pressed disc which the drive utilizes and as per sony ps1/2 cd/dvd discs this cant be duplicated........ for mod fw or mod chips dont matter (multiman directdiscaccess as a prime example) but ofw? id pmsl at sony if this worked!

Interesting that some buttons/functions etc. have no info except "Contact SCE regarding the usage of these buttons."

If the description given in the article is anything to go by, I REALLY doubt they're going to press one disc. Assembly lines are made to be in constant motion and usually to make multiple copies of things at once. It'd be way more expensive to press one disc than it would be to have a special tool that you only give to developers so they could burn games BD-R discs which would work on a PS3.
The question is does this only work with Debug consoles. That'd make a lot more sense.

Both. There's obviously single BD-Rs on the market, which I'm sure you know, but when you go to buy a PS3 game or a Blu-ray move those are printed.

If you were going to be making a single disc, even as a game developer a huge studio, you'd probably be burning it, not making a single disc print. I don't know exactly how an optical disc printing assembly line works, but I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that it'd be a huge waste of money to just press one disc on one, especially since you'd probably have to have already made a master copy to press that assembly line copy.
