(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});a) ps3xport? What is it?
ps3xport is an application developed by Kakaroto to manipulate PS3 backup data (usable in "System Settings> Backup Utility" from the XMB).
DL PS3xport GUI 0.2 : You must login or register to view this content.
With ps3xport, it is possible to control the content of folders / dev_hdd0 and / dev_flash2 on official firmware. It is thus possible to add some games or DLC on the hard drive of the console. However, the homebrew will not work because of the protections NPDRM ECDSA.
b) A ps3xportGUI
A ps3xportGUI is an application to use ps3xport simply with a graphical interface.
It is possible to:
- Create a backup data
- Add data to an existing backup (or not protected against copying)
- Collect information such as the list of folders and files from a backup
- Decrypt a file archive [_XX] .dat a backup
- Remove all the data from a backup
- Extract a specific backup file
- Extract all files matching a specific backup path
- Remove the PSID a backup
- Delete a specific backup file
- Delete all files matching a specific backup path
- Remove the copy protection of a backup file
II - Using A ps3xportGUI
A ps3xportGUI To start, you just run the Aps3xportGUI file.
The application requires the .NET Framework 3.5 minimum to run.

A GUI ps3xportGUI
a) bases files
To use the application, you will need to indicate potentially 3 files, the "Device ID", the "PSID" and "Key File" according to your usage.
Area to indicate the files "Device ID", "PSID" and "Key File"
Device ID
The Device ID, also known as IDP is a binary file 16 bytes containing the identifier of the console. It is especially necessary to decrypt and extract the data and the archive2.dat a backup file.
To retrieve the device ID of your console on official firmware, you can use the tool IDPStealer Flatz:
The PSID is an identifier to determine which PS3 backup was created.
Do not tell a good PSID a backup has little important if it is only during a restore, a warning message will indicate that the backup was created from another PS3. If the PSID is not specified, it will take the value "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00".
Keys file
The tool needs to PS3 key to operate. You can show him the way of keys.conf file. If no path was specified, the tool will search the default file in the current folder, which is already in the archive.
b) The content directory
The content directory contains the data to integrate backup.
At the root directory, it is possible to add two records, "dev_hdd0" and "dev_flash2."
You must login or register to view this content.
Sample content directory (here donnees_a_inclure)
c) The functionality of A ps3xportGUI
We will now detail the various functions offered by A ps3xportGUI.
1) Creating a backup data
To create a data backup, click "Create Backup".
You must login or register to view this content.
Zone "Create Backup"
- In "Output Directory" complete the backup output folder
- In "Content Directory", specify the directory containing the data to add to your backup
- If you want to add protected data to prevent copying to another console, enter the Device ID of the desired console and select the file to add "Protected Content Directory copy protection."
Then click the "Start" button to start the backup creation.
2) Adding from an existing backup
You can add data from an existing backup.
To do this, click "Add from an existing backup" or "Add from a copy-protected backup" depending on whether you want to add protected data or not against copying.
You must login or register to view this content.
Zone "Adding from an existing backup"
- In "Directory of Backup", select the existing backup directory

Then click the "Start" button to start adding data to your backup.
3) Retrieving information about a backup
You must login or register to view this content.
Feature "Playing a Save File"
You can use "Reading Index" and "Reading Data" to retrieve information about the indexes (or archive.dat archive2.dat) and data files (or archive_XX.dat archive2_XX.dat). You can also decrypt the archive files [_XX] .dat file for debugging or understand format.
"Reading Index" allows you to get a list of files and an index file files with full path, size, permissions, but also the unique identifier of the backup, the PSID identifies the console ...
"Reading Data" allows you to retrieve the unique identifier of the backup, the data file index and ensure that files are not corrupt by analyzing each of them.
For files protected against copy (archive2.dat and archive2 [_XX] .dat), the Device ID file must be entered.
4) Extraction from a backup data

Remove copy protection from a backup
Copy protection prevents restore a backup on another PS3 than the one it was created.
You can remove copy protection from a backup by clicking "Remove copy protection from a Backup File Protection". It is necessary to specify the device ID corresponding file for this operation.
You must login or register to view this content.
Zone "Remove copy protection from a Backup File Protection"
