Article: rif2rap Tool Released - Rap Your Rif's Without Cygwin

[Tranced]

@corpse101 You mean this?

Via BlackDeath @ ps3repack:

I have created a little "batch-version"...
Just copy all *.rif files in the folder and run convert_all_rif2rap.exe (of course u have to place your act.dat and idps in exdata folder)

It's just a quick version, feel free to test. Maybe it's useful for those like me, with many *.rif files.
kudos to Eslab for this nice rif2rap tool

I have not tested so let us know.

@ps3_puppy LOL, but try to help instead.

@evilOvum Start multiMAN. If not in mmOS press select & start together. (mmOS is the desktop enviroment in multiMAN) Then select any file, press circle and choose to open it in HEX viewer then SELECT - START - DUMP LV2 (NO) - DUMP LV1(NO) - DUMP FLASH(YES)

Hope my memory serves me as I have not done this in a while.

Thank you, so to take a NOR dump for a slim ps3 which do i say yes to?

Forgive me if this question sounds silly. But let's say I found my IDPS in the HEX Editor in mM and it's "00 00 00 01 00 64 00 0B 14 04 03 C1 E4 3B 12 12" (not my real IDPS btw), how do I go about making that a file to put in that directory? I undestand putting the act.dat file in there but have no idea how to create a file from those nu,bers.

In your hex editor, create a new file, paste your idps and save it as "idps" without any extensions.

It works. I was able to make working RAPs for things I bought in PSN years ago and were on the harddrive of my old broken CECHB01 PS3. I tested it and it worked just fine.

It has NO ERROR checks so it will output a BAD RAP if the idps file doesn't match the act.dat and if the rif files don't match the act.dat.

A "bad rap" will "activate" the content but you will likely get error 80028F17 while starting it. :P

Quick question, how do you tell if you have a correct idps?
I had upgraded to 4.21 Rebug Rex and I dont have any leading 00's in the suppose idps that i extracted using the rebug toolbox.

IDPS can be found in the System Information in MultiMAN. Much easier.

So I don't need reactpsn with this? Once I've converted my rifs to rafs, where do I put the raf files to activate the content on my ps3?

[BahumatLord]

That worked great.

Now I have 2 rif files that crash this app. They are from Uncharted 1 and 2.

You're going to get crashes on betas and some random Playstation Plus content (but not all PS Plus). ReActPSN would crash on them too and they're no good anyway so there's no loss. Just delete the rifs and rerun it to double check they were all done.

Short and simple dos command

for %f in (*.rif) do rif2rap %f

New *cough* keys *cough*....

Yeah if a rif crashes the tools, the content is encrypted with newer keys, the digest (output) will be a blob of garbage and that will crash the tool.
