    ... Previous Release Information Below ...

    Today, a developer here at PSX-Scene by the name of PsDev brings everyone an update to the famous PS3 Tools, GUI Edition style; all of the tools together in a neat little package I like to call PsDev's "GUI Edition " PS3 Tools, now making the process easier than ever before! And now, without any further ago, on to the release...


    FEATURES:

    • Can unpack any "PS3" Firmware up to date. Gets really fast after first or second use.
    • a console is built into the program showing you the exact log a cmd would.
    • Can Decrypt PS3/PSP retail PKG files (Signed by sony installable via OFW).
    • Can readself of, Appldr, lv0, lv1ldr, lv2ldr, isoldr, EBOOT.BIN or if any of the things that you want to read are not listed on a button you can run a custom command to do it, for example: aim_spu_module.self just type that in where it says input and it will read it. So any file that is possible to use via readself, can be done in a fast manor 1-2 sec.
    • A full featured .Conf editor. view .Conf files edit them then hit save button when finished.
    • A awesome Core_os_package tool that can decrypt, extract and encrypt the Core_os_package.pkg all in about 1-2 sec.
    • Sign pkg for 3.55 or 3.41
    • UnSELF a file.
    • Build SELF a file.
    • Whenever a tar file is modified, it's permissions need to be set, this tool can do that for you. fix the tar file for the following FW. retail fw up to 3.72, debug fw up to 3.72 and retail and debug fw 4.0.
    So some where around 20+ total things this multi ps3 tool can do
    in to a ps3 file type of some sort in a faster time than any other program around, faster than the cmd line tools.
    And the best thing is it's really simple, 12 year old kids could do it.

    HOW TO USE:

    Lets use a example: If you want to unpack a ps3 update just get the PS3UPDAT.PUP
    (Don't change the name of any file in ps3 FW keep original) and put in tool folder, run
    my program click unpack and it will unpack it.

    so like if you want to fix tar make sure the update_files.tar stays the same name and put in the main folder where program is located. same for anyfile keep the original name. So it's pretty simpe just drag the file that you want the tool to do something with and keep the original name.

    Here is a video I made (I am pretty bad a videos) to help it' a tutorial that covers everything. If some one else could make a better one that would be awesome

    NOTES:


    PS3Tools GUI Edition will create two new files for the Core_os_package. "decrypted_core_os" and "CORE_OS_PACKAGE_ENCRYPTED.pkg" don't change the name of the decrypted one or else you won't be able to encrypt it
    BETA TESTER THOUGHTS:
    Tested by jhax78
    all those command line tools that takes loads of time
    and sometimes commands that you need to understand will be replaced by this 1 click tool

    even a trained monkey could extract repack sign with this now
    it's taking literally 3 seconds to extract a pup resign or whatever you need to do

    im no dev but like to poke around in stuff and i think more ppl think like this
    with this tool all that is just peanuts now

      1) I prefer command line.
      2) I don't understand why people still use windows to program. everything was built for LINUX
      3) "Sign pkg for 3.55 or 3.41" and if i want to sign one for 3.15?
      4) Why you built this stuff? they are useless.

      i'm not against you, but most of the things that you post are useless for a dev. i still do not understand you.

      It's not all about "devs" I made it to simplified the process of things for normal user that might possibly want to become developers and its faster than command line.

      >> How old are you?
      >> When did you get in programming/how old were you at the time?
      >> Is English your first language?

      Thank you @CrashSerious, you have a point. We as a group will not tolerate this kind of behavior anymore, people come here to do work! Didn't your mothers ever teach you, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

      @froid san - yes. I'm sure he didn't include it to cover his ass because of what it can do. It's easily found elsewhere though

      This app needs some serious work. I tried to delete it today ... no dice. Why?

      If you spawn the readself tool (probably others too!) PsDev doesn't bother closing the old PS3Tools GUI edition process ... so its stays running forever.

      You will have to manually end the process of all the orphaned process. GJ XD

      Thanks for the update. One thing I noticed is that you can't choose the directories of certain options to look for files. I usually put stuff I'm working on in c:\temp because I usually get side tracked pretty easy and would forget to delete files I don't need anymore from the app directory. That way, I just empty the temp folder every time I start a new project instead of having a cluttered hard disk with files I don't need anymore. The GUI does look a lot better though
