Pkg Patch For Socom 4 Release
Following the App.pkg Database Mod, PS4 4.55 Update Blocker HEN and recent PS4HEN VTX release, PlayStation 4 developer @CelesteBlue made available via Twitter PS4 PKG2USB to dump and run Fake PKGs on USB with both 4.05 / 4.55 Payloads by SiSTRo. Download: PS4 PKG2USB (Latest Release) / PKG2USB 4.55USB.zip / GIT. Since there's a thread for 360 related builds, I figured a PS3 build thread would be acceptable. This is far less popular than the 360 releases but. For those that don't know r0005 is a custom patch created for SOCOM 2(NTSC version).

Since there's a thread for 360 related builds, I figured a PS3 build thread would be acceptable. This is far less popular than the 360 releases but that's okay. Obviously keep the new rules in the stickied post in mind when sharing any builds. Not all of these are beta builds so do keep this in mind.
It's nice to have debug content as well so they're included in this. I'll personally be trying to maintain a list in this opening post for easier access to what's been shared. Feel free to PM me about a title you wish to share if you don't want to post it here yourself, just be sure it abides by the (you guessed it) new rules.Build Backup Guide-.Guide now updated for DEX and CFW PS3 users without PC BD drives. Guide to dumping PS3 discs via PC Bluray drive: -Releases- -Builds- Build 1: PES 2009 PAL Review build.
So to start with bumping the thread I made, I'd like to say I'm glad to share the following game build. Overall nothing overly special of a review build, though there are some oddities here and there that make me wonder why it's like it but oh well. Dated 37 days before EU release.
PES 2009 PAL Review build: In game I haven't noticed anything spectacular, I'm not overly understanding what I'm doing as I don't play sports games and have limited knowledge of it, but so far no debug menus and no special options. Can't say there's much going on including minor differences but nevertheless it's a review build. One strange thing I noticed was the game disc lacks a Trophy data folder as well as a DRM license folder (as well as the files respectively). It was ripped with my DEX PS3 using Multiman (directly to HDD then build to ISO on my PC to use on non-DEX systems). I can also attach the error correction file if needed, though I don't think anyone here (except maybe Borman) would want it. On a very unrelated note, this is an EU game. So why is 'Soccer' in the name of it when the only place that actively calls it Soccer is the US?
Am I missing something here because it's very odd to me. Click to expand.So, you are trying to say, that ELF file from PES 2009 PAL Review build has 'debug keys' inside of the executable file, which block the launch of it on typical CEX PS3 CFW?
Like debug XEX on x360 or not? BTW thanks for release, i'm just trying to learn this more clearly.
For example any dev build on PS2 can be launched on usual retail unit, so PS2 ELF can't have special 'debug keys' as PSP and PS3? Also, here is a list of retail PS3 (or multiplatform) games, that contain debug elements (that not on Unreal Engine 3). Beyond: Two Souls. Call Of Juarez - Bound In Blood.
Call Of Juarez - The Cartel. Dead Island. Dead Rising 2. Click to expand.Not quite. When its extracted via PS3 managers it gives unencrypted files. This then allows the Eboot.bin to be altered freely if needed.
When building as an ISO I tick an option to build to work on CFW 3.55 systems and it can build accordingly. However, because I don't have a CEX PS3 I can only assume I've properly done it. If there's an issue I can reupload any builds but I'd assume it would be okay. I threw the Eboot into SCE tools and got the following log. It certainly detects as a SELF file (so encrypted) but there aren't any keys detected, so it's not really encrypted so to say.
Socom 4 Pc
Error: Could not find keyset for SELF. Warning: Could not decrypt header. Yeah i must apologize for that.
I realized I had forgotten to resign the eboot files. At least vanilla rips are available as well. I will say, the Puppeteer build may be unplayable due to an issue with the disc itself. One of the files is corrupt for whatever reason and I only managed to get it 100% working once. That said, a rip exists, it's playable but only if you replace the file in question. It also has a debug menu leftover, but there's no way to enable it easily so that's out too. In the mean time, enjoy what's available, as next year I'll have more available (even one 360 title).
Click to expand. A little research of Protopia folder 'Sony PlayStation 3' with lossless screens. BLJX-94005Final.Fantasy.XIII(demo) - this is interesting, has differences from retail version. Has alpha textures in resources and more. Not pkg, can be converted in PS3ISO, 432 MB without video, but will not work without them. More info: NPUA-70080E3God.of.War.III.pkg more info: BCET-70030SOCOM.Special.Forces(Beta Trial).pkg - can't start without PSN login and can't go online because. NPUB-90567Sonic.Generations(demo).pkg - gave me this error (i have no idea how to fix): more info: NPEB-90334Duke.Nukem.Forever(demo).pkg - looks like typical demo version.
Since this is multiplatform game, this demo doesn't looks like something interesting. from my side: I didn't know, that GT developers released this in PSN: NPEA-90002EUGran.Turismo.HD.Concept.pkg more info. Click to expand.I'll link these but I wont reupload them unless for some reason they're gone. In order: I haven't taken a look at Final Fantasy yet (as I haven't ever touched the series and likely wont ever). I have installed the E3 God of War 3 demo, it's the same demo released via PSN but with E3 slapped onto it. I'd try the SOCOM one but like you said, not much can be done. The Sonic generations demo.
So unlike the 360 one, this requires a bit of tinkering to get running again. Basically you have to reset the clock before the 20-day trial period expired. Not a hard thing to do, just set the date and time and it should be fine.
Socom 4 Release Date
360 can be played even if it's expired, the PS3 version on the other hand may be a different story as I personally have not tried it myself. I installed the Duke Nukem demo, was exactly that. The Gran Turismo pkg you mentioned, I didn't know this existed.

So you have the location of the pkg by chance?
