Good work @aldostools

Regards

[wanted]

Thanks for this. Finally got a working english Disgaea 4 using it. So happy

Is it normal for this tool to run for 10 hours and not find the klicensee? I have this tools running for ten hours and still counting and it has not found the license. Perhaps I am trying to find the lic for a game that requires firmware higher then 3.60 and that's the reason it is running for so long without result? I am currently trying the tool on Ratchet and Clank All for One and have it signed to Firmware version 3.41.
I think that is the reason why, but dunno for sure.

What cpu are you running it on? Considering the article cited a time of over an hour for one, i can definitely see it taking that long on a cheap/older cpu.

Disgaea 4 jp has had an english patch (translation taken directly from the official english version) for long time now.

Some interesting statistics from andreus (who has contributed a lot with the development of the tool)

Some interesting statistics. Of all the klic found so far - 17 (if we remove battlefield 3)
Aligments:
- 9 could be found with the default section aligment
- 16 could be found with the 4 section aligment
- 1 (Portal 2) only could be found with a section aligment of 1

Found at section:
- section 12: 6
- section 13: 2
- section 14: 2
- section 16: 1
- section 19: 1
- section 25: 2
- section 26: 2
- section 27: 1

Pattern skipping:
- Skip all patern: 16
- Do not skip *0000*: 1 (Socom)

yes and *no*

The tool is mainly a klicensee finder. It uses scetool by naehrwert/flatz and brute force attack strategy to decrypt the npdrm eboot/sprx/self found in updates. It also uses some heuristic algorythms to try to *guess* the klicensee faster.

Once the klicensee is found, it resigns the EBOOT with 3.55/3.40 keys like deank's tool.

Thanks, and to Madri2 as well

its the SELF's that have that extra layer, i just "joined" then in my head as PSN content, and thought they had the same encription.
up till now i never had a reason to go poking in pkg's, if there was an uptade signed to 3.55 i used that, if there wasnt then i was out of luck.

Now with the 3.60 keys i'll have to take a look at what newer patches signed for 3.60.

Again thanks and good work.

What cpu are you running it on? Considering the article cited a time of over an hour for one, i can definitely see it taking that long on a cheap/older cpu.

My Computer was not cheap when I built it but its probably is now , and it is an older Xeon Clovertown clocking at 2.33 Ghz with eight cores. I currently have 64GB of RAMs in this machine and it runs great! Another thing I realized it took so long is the fact that it failed to find the license for the game.

I realize this pic does not show the full 10 Hours, I basically started where I left off in the pic above.

In case your wondering, I am currently building a computer that going to have 40 hyper-threaded cores, so it will appear as 80 Cores to Windows, and it will be capable of having 1TB of RAM. That's a lot of cores, in fact Windows Ultimate will not be enough to access all the cores due to the license, I would need to use a server version of Windows.

I got the game to work on 3.41 using a BLES (PAL) patch from the article here.

after trying the dirt 3 fix from the post that listed the new "49 games patched" earlier this month and that not working, I tried this tool. Let it run for over 1 day and came up with this Tried: 1312844 klic keys - nothing found 119740.299 secs.
Has anyone successfully got a working fix for dirt 3?

[aldostools]

DiRT 3 [BLES01287] update 1.01 is working fine for me.
It only needs the EBOOT.BIN fixed and install_patch.nfs and patch.nfs.

Did you try fixing it using my latest PS3 Tools? Extract the PKG (right click and select Extract to current folder...), go to USRDIR, press Ctrl+Enter on the EBOOT.BIN to resign it, then return to the folder next to the PKG (the folder should look like a Content ID). Then right click on the folder and select Make PKG...

Thanks for the prompt reply aldos
I've had no luck in compiling something that is currently working. I'm still receiving the same error 3.60 needed msg on the ps3 when I try to launch dirt 3. Its the only game I'm still having issues with.

[aldostools]

Did you check the PARAM.SFO of the game update ? It must be changed to 3.55 or 3.40

Try deleting the Game Data and test again. Some PARAM.SFO values are cached in the PS3 database, even when the physical file has other values.

You can also try rebuilding the database through Recovery.
