PS3 Beta release thread (4 years older or older ONLY)

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.

More to come. maybe this year maybe next year but sooner or later more will be added. If you want to make a contribution then feel free to message me or post it in here.

 

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: https://mega.nz/#!bkJkACpT!2hd-YVEyg6tfK2O85H3LnJH9mOAUMHqpURpRG1ogv3M

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.

 

Maybe because it's the original (trademark) name of the series and nobody knows WTH "PEF" means?
P.S. FIFA International Soccer for 3DO wasn't called "FIFA international Football" either in euro release.
And there's no logical pattern in game names adaptations/translations - some get translated, some don't.

 

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

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.

In regards to the titles you linked, I MAY be able to make something out of the references but it would take a lot of time as I'm going to need to read up on how these were made as well as why they're allowed to work.

 

Main post updated to include Dead Rising 2.

 

Slight bump for those who may have missed things.

 

Thanks but had to resign the eboot.bin to 4.21 in order to boot the "soccer" game. I did get it to boot as-is on Rebug 3.55.4 CEX.

 

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).

 

time to release one of mine

This one is MOTORSTORM PACIFIC RIFT E3 Demo

https://mega.nz/#!TZ8FlbCJ!IrFAxtpS0n4Qnp6cB9G4A8fhhEZnpfI0PaNMviWLV98

 

Did you rip it via the guide I put up or through a PS3?

 

via the guide , firstt time using the software so i might not have got the settings right

if its all ok , i can continue to dump the other builds i have

 

Downloading it now to see if all came out as it should.
I assume you didn't touch the eboot?

 

ah no , just dumped and made it an iso

 

Perfect. Always nice to have a vanilla rip.
Not like it matters since we can resign it to OFW anyway, but still nice to have untouched rips. I'll boot it up in a while and post a screen or two.

Thanks for sharing it man!

Edit - looks good file wise. I have to say the eboot file is a really clean one. I'm impressed how well the devs made this one.

 

Got some screens of Motorstorm Pacific Rift from E3.
Claims its 70% complete. Pretty good for 70%. Tested on Rebug D-REX 4.75.3 on my DECHA00A

Spoiler: Spoilered to not kill thread

 

MS2 E3 ISO works perfect on CEX CFW.

Yep. It also has "pre-alpha 40% complete" video files in \PS3_GAME\USRDIR\gui\video\*.avi. Footage doesn't looks like something early, because MS2 based on finished content of MS1 on half or more.


7 years ago somebody uploaded something similar on youtube
>MotorStorm 2: Pacific Rift (pre-alpha 40% complete) *PS3

Spoiler

also in this folder there are four "test" videos with funny junk, like:

Code:

Test1.avi - "1001 Tips What To Do In Case Of A Zombie Holocaust - Tip#1 "
https://youtu.be/q3mGxGPtm0A
Test2.avi - "The Legend of Chuck Norris"
https://youtu.be/6hfw4IQ19Rk
Test3.avi - old video tutorial from apple.com/support/ipod
Test4.avi - weird cartoon about cat killer without credits or source

Main game archive uses different format, it's not .psarc as retail, but i think it is possible to create quickBMS script for that. i'll try to compare this build with retail later.

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. 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?
