So i cant use the dlc with the TB Unofficial patch :S
Im asking cause i cant find the original EBOOT for the BLES version anywhere :S:S:S

make a backup of your eboot and param and try to use the one from the original BLUS version I posted at the bottom of the article. You would need to change your game ID to BLUS anyway to use the patch and all available DLC. AFAIK the rest of the game files are the same so it shouldn't hurt anything

The TB patched version could use all DLC except for Harley Quinn's Revenge

OK man thanxx,just one last question ...you didnt use any bd options in multiman cause the tb payload doesnt support it right ,just switch the original eboot and param ,install 1.04 update insert disc and play ?

ok, i don't know what's wrong, but all my tries failed - always black-screen when i run the Batman game, i thought i had enough experience already, because i can't remember the last time when something that is supposed to work is not due to my mistake, anyway, i'm just giving up trying.

Too bad i dont have the batman arkham city game yet hopefully i can find somewhere cheap to get one.

ive played on 360 but i find the graphics on ps3 suites my projector way more.

Even if E3 decides to produce a dongle i may buy it, at least they have actually produced useful material for just not pure piracy.


I WILL NEVER BUY SOMETHING PURELY TO SUPPORT PIRACY.
I LIKE TO DO SO MUCH MORE WITH SYSTEMS THAN JUST PLAY GAMES I DO NOT OWN.

So no matter what i will not buy a TB.

cant wait to see what e3 produce next.

ive been very fascinated by the new dex method but i would like to see it advance before i attempt looks very limited for Homebrew.

either way at least things are happening id say ive seen more progress in the last 3 monthes than in the many years watching the foroums.

If we look at the scope of piracy, releasing the decryption keys will lead to a lot more piracy, so that is actually worse than what TB did/does. With TB you need a dongle, and this limits the number of users because not everyone wants to buy it for various of reasons. It also takes some time to get an update to play newer games, meaning that you can't play new games at release date. Releasing the decryption keys means that everyone (that are on firmware 3.55) can get all the games for free, and there will most likely be no wait either. In some cases, pirated versions will probably be available before retail date as well.

So in this way, releasing the decryption keys is actually worse than what TB does. And with TB, you can dump your own games as well if i'm not mistaken? In that case, it isnt necessarily just for piracy. I'm not really defending TB, i understand if you dont want to buy it, i'm just pointing out that what they did regarding enabling piracy is actually less worse than releasing the decryption keys.

Great news, but I'm still waiting for the day we can see CFW[lastFWversion]

I am going to assume this doesn't work when you want to run the game from a legit disc, only off the hard drive.

Damn

the key(s) they are going to release will likely only decrypt eboot.bin=.self and .sprx
as they claimed before they had ALL the keys up to 4.20 ....
why not release all the keys if they are that generous.... (theres always a catch or a reason)

keys to sign retail NPDRM for up to 4.20 (i know kakarots would love to have them)
keys for decrypting the 3.56+ appldr,lv1ldr,lv2ldr etc etc aka decrypting everything in .PUP and repackin it,catch my drift :)

we dont have to know how they obtained the keys (or Sony will patch again),just release it.

The decryption keys will most likely change in the next PS3 firmware update indeed, but if people can get the 4.20 keys, then they can easily get the future keys as well. I dont think Sony can patch this more than what they already managed to do. But it shall be interesting to see if E3 (or anyone else) will release the future keys as well.

sorry if you miss understood me i was mainly talking about if they make a dongle i would just choose them over tb i too agree releasing the keys like geohot did might hender things in the legitimate sence & sony will get sue happy again.

but i seriously doubt they will just release the keys anyway.im sure they will show you how to get the keys by using thier hardware tools which makes sence.

BahumaLord - Just one more question. Do i have to change the eboot and param file???
