WIP: PS3Payload Downloader Project - Now v0.6b

PS3Payload Downloader Project

Just finished working on 0.6b (no, still not to the puclic).

1. Added a splashscreen that download/update the payload and platform listing (I also tried to download\update all the firmware list, but it too slow...) wich make the program much more stable and faster.

2. I changed a little bit the look of the program:
- Replaced the background
- Improved the logo (added reflaction and shadow)
- Added a "Welcome" Image that'll show until you load a payload list (press at the refresh button).

3. Now, the program will search the platform preview picture locally, and if it doesn't exist it will download, save (at the program's path) and load it.
Why does it good? Because now the program won't download the platform's preview pictures every time - it'll download it once and use it forever! :)

4. I added the platform details feature that will show while the mouse is over the small preview picture.
And of course the option to upload platform details through the Upload mode.

5. Added a litlle "X" to the search box, that will show when the search box isn't empty and by clicking on it it will empty the search box.

6. Added MD5 encryption to the upload system's User name and password.
What is MD5? it's a One-Way Hash Function.
For example "Password" in MD5 will be "dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964".
How I generate MD5 code from strings?
I built a little handy tool that do it for me, using System.Security.Cryptography library.
If you want to try it out:

What does it all mean? that I can release the source of the uploader too without any worries that someone can accsess to my server.

There are another changes I made, some bug fixing and etc that I don't think that will interest someone.

Uploaders,
I'll encrypt all the user names and passwords at my server - wich means that you won't be able to login anymore using 0.5b.
When I'll finish encrypting all of the users I'll push an update and all you'll need to do is to update the program through the updater (That will pop-up when I'll push the update).

If any of you want to be a beta-tester or an uploader - contact me via PM.

Amazing work as always DanyL. Maybe space out the PS Payload manager or drop the PS altogether as just (Payload Manger).

PSPayload makes it look like you're working on PSP project. At first I was like "No way, DanyL found a way to load PSP with PS Groove" lol

In any event, thanks! and keep up the great work!

It's a program that gathers all the payloads for all the platformes in one place and allow you to download them.

Most of the programming is done, what I still need to do it:
Improve search engine
Improve GUI
Create a Logo
Create an updater

Server side:
List and upload all the payloads

For those who want to help me out list all the payloads:
Leave a message with the following details:

Device =
Payload name =
Payload version =
PS3 firmware =
Compiled by =
Link =

For example:
Device = ipod 4g grayscale
Payload name = PL3
Payload version = 23.10.10
PS3 firmware = 3.41
Compiled by = DanyL
link = http://rockbox-psgroove.com/Download...e/rockbox.ipod

Thanks! :)

Dude, thats sweet! well done mate, looks awesome :D

Hey DanyL,

I have a collection of TI-84+ and TI-89 Titanium calculator payloads. You can add them if you want.

Check the links in my sig.

BTW I forgot to mention that it's an open souce project and I'll release the source in github when I'll finish working on it.

It could mess up all the source code.
But I'll check it up.

I'll add them too, thanks.

Does It Work

Sure it does.
But I can't release it yet, as I listed only 16 payloads, I have to improve the GUI and the search engine and so on...

BTW The payloads are listed from the server, wich means that for adding new payloads I don't have to change any code.

I changed the name of the program to PS3Payload Downloader

Great job as always DanyL. Thanks for your continued work! :)

I improved the code to be much more flexable (it loads the all the ComboBoxes from the server).
Now It'll show you only the firmwares available for each platform and payload (it support every supported firmware).

Untill now I have uploaded and listed 46 payloads.
It'll take some time untill the program will list most of the available payloads on the net.

Now I will start improving the GUI.
