Team DeLiGhT Releases: FORCE PACKAGE NPDRM v1.0

[garyopa]

Earlier PSGroove reported that a scene group called "Team DeLiGhT" was working on various neat apps for the PS3, and they started off by releasing last week three cool INTRO's doing the "old-school" scene demo stuff!

Today PSGroove reports that "Team DeLiGhT" has released a program called:

FORCE PACKAGE NPDRM v1.0

—————————————————————————-
FORCE_PACKAGE_NPDRM

11/08/10 – V1.00 – Initial Release
—————————————————————————-

This tool is a modded version of SONY’s “MAKE_PACKAGE_NPDRM”
It enables the repackaging of gamez into a .PKG file
It only works (for the moment) with internal games (ie. PSN games)
Still the problem of licence (act.dat) to run the game on another PS3

What FORCE_PACKAGE_NPDRM does:

- It prints the “extended” help of the original version ;-)
- It packages YOUR EBOOT.BIN
- It repackages files even if they are already DRM’ed :
- SELF files
- SPRX files
- EDATA files

What it will do later:

- It will package the TROPHY directory (in the root of the game)
- It will package an entire BD games keeping its associated structure

How-to:

First create the following structure:

- PARAM.SFO
- ICON0.PNG
- …
- USRDIR
- Original EBOOT.BIN renamed to whatever you want
- YOUR EBOOT.BIN (SELF file)
- …

Your EBOOT.BIN must launch the original EBOOT.BIN (ie. GAME.BIN)
(“sys_game_process_exitspawn2″ instruction is not yet very stable)

Future DeLiGhT’s releases will include in the EBOOT.BIN:

- On the fly patching (LV2) to run games (no need of a specific payload with the exception of PEEK and POKE syscalls)
- Ability to launch games from XMB / Dashboard (much more tricky ;-))

Please NOTE: It requires MingW/MSYS to run.

2.50 firmware? explain please..

[Xeauron]

Interesting so they can repackage games, but the license issue hasn't been addressed yet. I like where this is going.

2.50 firmware? explain please..

Simple - The package would require firmware 2.50 or above to run.

2.50 firmware? explain please..

This means the game only works on FW 2.50 and above

[MRDOCA]

interesting.

could i package up a modded update with this? so that it installs the black ops modded eboot and pram.sfo?

[sonnyz]

I think it says that this is only working with PSN games at the moment...

EDIT: maybe not, I dunno. I don't completely understand.

[Lazy Boy]

If you emulate a act.dat compatible with the 3.50 firmware that would be great.

... so this is basically a contained version of xmboot packages.

This won't even work reliably for most games because sys_game_process_exitspawn2 (what all backup managers use for "direct booting") doesn't always work, and no one has figured out why.

And since this is a modified version of Sony's own make package npdrm, it's literally code pulled from Sony's PS3 SDK. I thought psx scene doesn't link to stuff like that? (CFWProphet releases his PS3 PKG Tool v0.5)
