As the demise of True Blue continues. Shadoxi a user over @ PS3news has released a True Blue EBOOT/ELF Dumper for the scene, which allows you to dump True Blue encrypted EBOOT/ELF files once loaded. It is stated that even though this will not cause a brick, caution should be taken when playing around with your PS3 files. With that said, enjoy your non-DRM protected game backups.

I release my ELF dumper, it work with any firmware > 3.56.

Tested on:
- Original 355 -> ok
- True Blue CFW v2 -> ok
- ...

There are some bugs (size of dump ...) but it work

Warning:
It will not brick your ps3. But i am not responsible for any damage.

HOWTO:
- Enable dev_blind with multiman
- copy libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx from /dev_blind/sys/external/external to dev_hdd0/ and rename it "orignal_libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx"
- copy my modified "libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx" to /dev_blind/sys/external/
- load a True blue game from multiman
- exit multiman
- run your game
- wait few minutes (if you get black screen after 3 minutes reboot ps3)
- exit game
- go to ftp
- in dev_hdd0/ there are your decrypted DUMPEDBOOT.bin
- copy and rename it with another name.

Howto uninstall patch :
Two ways:

- You could uninstall this patch by replacing modified libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx by orginal libsysutil_np_trophy.sprx

- Or uptade in recovery mode

Thanks to: Ps3dev

UPDATE1:
To Quote: deank

Changed:

Doesn't stop dumping when it reaches embedded ELF
Dumps 35MB of RAM in one write call (so it takes ~1 second)
Dumps are saved in /dev_hdd0/RAMDUMP-##.BIN where ## is from 00 to 99 for 100 sequential dumps
Doesn't really require the original sprx, since loading never succeeds anyway
Tested: dumps mM, Beyond Good&Evil HD PSN...
Rebuilding the original 'elf' takes few minutes if you know what you're doing

Guys, send me your TB dumps and I will take a look.
I say "look" deliberately, not fix them, cos not all TB patches can be fixed,
otherwise you would have had some top titles already.
Anyway, I can make some patches.
You can give dumps to BahumatLord and he will know where to find me.

BahumatLord, send me that Mass Effect 3 dumps, both of elfs and always note what self you used to dump, meaning what TB patch you used.

Unless of course they are behind all these releases.....

TB stopped releasing eboots quite a while ago.

i say TB hasnt rerleased any because they prob only have a handful of games left they can patch because im pretty sure the newest games cant be cracked by the TB method.

please someone send DUMP SLEEPING DOGS to propJOE
so he could make EBOOT TB for proofing this ELF DUMPER METHOD ....

well, I DO NOT BELIEVE this ELF DUMPER is the method for making TB's EBOOT, haven't you try ELF DUMP method with SLEEEeeePING DOooooGS ??

@lolong - You just don't give up do you. I've seen you spam begging for a Sleeping Dogs fix on at least five other websites.

That would be cool if you have the time to look. I'm not allowed to post where you've been posting. I get a message that says something about awaiting moderation but my posts are being deleted. I guess I pissed somebody off there. I'll send you a PM here and at your old stomping grounds. They'll be identical so if you see one you can just delete the other. I think I've got about 7 left that don't have other patches available. I'll go ahead and try to dump them all in case you're able to fix them for everyone. I'll put them in separate directories named for the game and I'll put a readme.txt with as much detail as I can think of. You're the man johnny

There's nothing to worry about with this. Worst case, you can just reinstall any firmware, and any trace of it will be gone.

deank's revision only works without the TB dongle inserted. It's a shame because it's a much improved dumper. Great for non-tb use but since we're trying to get these tb games patched it's best to stick with the original for now until deank gets a chance to update

I'm hearing crickets out there - nobody else is trying to dump anything?

I would totally be on board with helping dump these games if I had a TB dongle.

Deank's new sprx won't work with TB inserted, multiman black screens, and you get a 35mb dump of multimans eboot i assume.
Edit: shit too slow

Sorry to say but this isn't working for True Blue patched games. I'm getting the same 2 dumps for every game I try to boot - black screen on all

I concur

I think if Deank worked out the bug in his version maybe we have some joy.

They both work without the dongle on non-tb stuff, but TB patched stuff is freezing them up. I've tried both 2.7 and 2.5 dongle versions - same problem
