  • PS3 Tools Collection 2.0.62 Released - Check Here For Updates To Your Favorite Applications

    Now here is another example of what one refers to when using the term DEV (developer). Not just this guy but the many involved in the PlayStation 3 scene. Aldostools, a trusted developer, has updated his PS3 Tools Collection. In version 2.0.62 you get Rap Management Tools. A tool that cleans your exdata folder of invalid RAP files and also de-dups RAP files. Another addition which I have not noticed till now is PS3 Keys 1.5.5, an app to create, edit and verify .ps3 keys in binary, plus more. Also worth a mention is lastGAME Customizer 1.0, a tool that allows you to create PKG files to mount games and movies from the XMB.

    Other updated tools include Bruteforce Save Data 2.4.2, PS3 Cheats Editor 2.4.3, Memory Card Manager 1.4 and PKG ContentID 2.0.4. But for those you will have to check the source below.


    About PS3 Tools Collection 2.0.62:
    Release Date: February 4, 2013

    Description:
    This is a collection of tools that I have developed for personal use...

    It now includes +28 tools. See all the downloads at the bottom of the page.
    Changelog v2.0.62:
    rap management tools new 2013-02-04!
    Keep your "rap" files collection clean with "remove bad files from exdata.bat" (a batch file that will remove the invalid "rap" files from your "exdata" folder) and delete_dups (a tool that will compare your rap files with the ones stored in another folder; deleting the duplicated files). Use them in conjunction with PS3 Game Integrity and PKG ContentID to keep your collection of raps organized.

    TIP: My PS3 Keys tool can be used to create rap files, just entering the file name and pasting the 32 HEX digits.


    PS3 Keys 1.5.5 new 2013-02-04!
    It's a tool to edit, verify and create the .ps3 keys in binary format and .rap/.edat files.

    Version 1.1 allows to convert scetool's data\keys file into .ps3 keys binary format (click on the big blue icon for the menu).
    Version 1.2 shows a visual alert (red cross icon) if the key is found in the Keys file, but the revision doesn't match.
    Version 1.3 adds a report of keys in HTML and 'next' button to find the bad keys.
    Version 1.5.5 adds support for .rap and .edat files (checks MD5).


    lastGAME Customizer 1.0 new 2013-02-03!
    This new tool takes advantage of the customization options that multiMAN's lastGAME applet offers, allowing to create PKG files that mount 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 (loads Hermes payload for firmwares 3.41, 3.55, 4.21, 4.30)
    • 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)
    • 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.

    NOTE: Support for PSX ISO and 4.31 CFW (MiralaTijera) are not implemented yet on lastGAME 4.1
    Special thanks to Dean Kasabow

      Good to see all this stuff taking gradual progress.

      I may go a little Off-topic here, but seeing the word .RAP which I'm currently working on/trying to understand for a couple of past days, can anybody please guide me to a detailed tutorial on .RAP, .RIF, IDPS, ACT.DAT and .EDAT files and how they are linked to each other in terms of DLC(add-on) and PSN games?

      I had been doing some study on these but couldn't get anywhere finally. I'm basically trying to get a AC2 free DLC work on my game install.
      I made one strange discovery yesterday that my machine's IDPS on MM is different from that on my NOR dump. Is this OK? I'm on Rogero DEX 3.55.

      Any support is appreciated. Regards
