How to platinum any PS3 game INSTANTLY!

[PuppetMaster]

Firstly I would like to give a big shout out to Inaudax from nextgenupdate.com for the heads up on his latest exploit for the PlayStation 3 console! Nice work ma Broth'a. So with that, Let's get on with the show.

Are you sick of trying to get platinum for all your games? Does it feel like its taking forever just to get those last two pesky trophy's on your list? Tired of trying to get that Silver "All Star" trophy from Super Sonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars? Well, no more! Thanks to Inaudax, you can now enjoy platinum status on any PS3 game, INSTANTLY! How is this feat accomplished you ask? Inaudax gives us an in depth look at how the exploit is executed. Enjoy!

Requirements

An exploited PS3 (jailbroken) on 3.41
PC with Hex Editor Neo (recommended)
The PS3 FTP Manager application by CJPC
Filezilla (PC FTP Client)

A quote from Inaudax:

I'm warning you right now. If you plan to sync your hacked trophies with this method, you may face a risk of getting banned by Sony. It's highly unlikely but it's possible. So, be warned!

A brief of how this hack works

Inside the trophy collection section on your XMB, there are games represented by their TROPUSR.DAT(s) respectively, where you can view the % of a game, what have you unlocked, etc. TROPUSR.DAT stores all of that information. Basically to get everything unlocked on a game, you will need to edit that game's TROPUSR.DAT.

Manually editing TROPUSR.DAT can take a while to get used to. But after learning where and which byte to change, you will be able to platinum a game in no time.

Inaudax:

I'll figure out how to add timestamps later if I can.

Here's my proof that this shit actually works:

Tutorial

Modifying the TROPUSR.DAT file of Yakuza 3 will be part of this tutorial.

1) Launch the FTP service on PS3.

2) Open Filezilla on PC, connect and navigate to the folder where TROPUSR.DAT is stored. For example:

/dev_hdd0/home/00000001/trophy/NPWR01101_00

00000001 is my user ID.
NPWR01101_00 is the Yakuza 3 folder.

Inside the NPWR01101_00 folder, there will be a file which is called TROPUSR.DAT. Download that file to your PC.

3) Open TROPUSR.DAT with Hex Editor Neo.

4) Now, we need to figure out how many trophies does Yakuza 3 have:

5) Next, we need to add a byte that we have 45 trophies generally unlocked.



6) Now, we need to add FF and two zero bytes (meaning 100%) below the 45 byte that you have just inserted.



7) This is the final step. Now, you just need to unlock every trophy by adding 01 00 01 10 to every trophy ID's in the file.

To understand what I have exactly inserted, go to Tool in Hex Editor Neo -> File Comparison -> Compare Files. Put two TROPUSR.DAT (0% and 100%) in the dialogs and change the comparison method to 'Difference algorithm' and click Ok. Now, you will be able to see what I have editted. This will help you understand easier. Here are the two files:

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

Good luck!

And, oh, when you view a trophy info on XMB with the hacked TROPUSR.DAT, you will see something like 'Earned - '. That's because I didn't add timestamps. At the moment, I don't know how to add one... because I'm not 100% sure which bytes are responsible for that. Here's an example of some legit trophy I've unlocked:

But why?? We might as well go back to the time when ps3 had no trophy system if you're just going to use this pathetic "hack"

Also, to everyone who does this, be sure and update to 3.42 afterwards so you can get on PSN to show off your trophies to all your friends!

Yep, shit like this is why SONY patched the hole, and to protect the online play.

Next up, is the save file hack's!

I hope people will get banned the moment they do figure out a way to go online with their stupid trophies.

When was it you could just sit down and play a game.

I used to do that for many years, still do.

I could not care at all about these "trophies", but in my day, games didn't give you nothing, at best after you finished the game in X number of saves, you got a free weapon, or the next time you play the game it was at an harder level.

No trophies, nothing to throw onto your facebook, zip, nothing, noone would even know you finished the game, unless they were there in the room with you at the time.

Shit what happen to the days, you invite 4 or more REAL HUMANS over to your living room, and you party all night, drink beer, eat pizza, and all take turns at finishing some new hot game, and joke around.

Now you sit all by yourself alone, with an headset on your dumb brain, and bragging online via facebook at the same time, how you just got the "bronze trophy" for killing "7 chickens in 7 seconds using only 7 bullets".

Just my 2 cents, regarding these "pathetic losers" that call themselves "games".

PLEASE NOTE: No offense must be taken by the above statement by the 50,000 people now browsing this thread, the above is my own personal opinion, and no way shape or form has anything to do with this site.

*Stuff*

I totally and completely agree with you.

I don't see any usefulness in this homebrew, beyond maybe buying a new game and pranking your friend by telling him you finished it perfectly in an hour.

argh.. spoils the fun.. i have 26 hard earned plats and this hack makes my 26 Platinum look pathetic..

Next up, is the save file hack's!

you could already hack them. Just not the file protected ones.
I care less about the "trophies" nor do I care to go online with my hack game saves. Just as long as I can hack the save to try to unlock thing u normally cant get in the game. Hopefully with the File manager will copy the files right. Sadly the ftp app would always forget to give me 100kb of the save or any other files.

No offense just stating the save could be hacked before.

My God... You don't know how lonely I felt in this world until you posted that. Bless you Gary! It's so nice to know that our kind still exists.

This is really really lame. Why it's been added as front page news is beyond me, all your doing is helping the cheaters even more.

It's shit like this that ruin it for the rest of us. I know that psx-scene has shown a lot of things about the ps3 hack and helped bring the news to a ton of people, but this is a dumb idea.

I know I have not been a member long, but that doesn't mean that what I am saying is wrong, and I don't mean to sound like a complete ass to the mods and the rest of the community, but it is what it is. I am all for people helping with the homebrew scene and getting your system to run its full potential, but by adding this is helping all those wanna be cheats screw things up.

I don't cheat at games I never have, I do not see the point in it, if your not good enough to play the game then quit and go back to your Atari 2600 and play Centipede.

There is nothing good going to come from this.
