How To Burn Ps3 Games To Bd Rip
Hey there folks!
Here is the promised little tool, which will let you play your backups of original PS3 games when burned on DVD/DVD-RW/BD/BDRE discs.
Download link: discBOOT (1.3MB) (Windows application)
If you're familiar with ebootFIX tools you won't have problems. It will be included in the ebootFIX/MOD package for the next multiMAN FULL version.
The usage is simple and you're provided with instructions once the program completes its job:
IMPORTANT: When you burn the game to a DVD/BD disc, make sure that you're using a proper backup of the game. It means ALL files as they were backed-up on the internal hdd of your PS3 - no split .666## files should be present. All 4GB+ files must be in once piece.
Proper steps to create a DVD/BD backup of a PS3 game:
The good things that come with this:
* You can now make in-game SCREENSHOTS for all games you play via this method
* You can play music from XMB Music column (background music) while playing the game
* This method doesn't require payloads of any kind - only CFW/MFW on your PS3
Here is a screenshot I just took: (press {PS} button while in-game, go to Photo column and select 'Screenshot')
Remember: Use this method ONLY with legally owned original PS3 games.
There is no guarantee that this method will work with all games, but if you follow the instructions in this post and generated txt - all should be fine.
How does it work? discBOOT application:
1) uses the original game folder to get the icons, sounds and PARAM.SFO
2) doesn't change/mod any of the original files - it only copies ICON*.PNG, PIC*.PNG, SND0.AT3, the license and trophies
3) uses a precompiled PS3 program, which enables direct disc access, enables screenshot and background music and then waits until a disc is present with /dev_bdvd/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN. If no disc is present - it will just sit on black screen until you insert one. You can't use original PS3 disc.
4) Once it finds the file - it executes it - that's it.
Enjoy!

Dumping a PS3 game to pc using blu-ray drive?
Seeing as most questions towards this subject are outdated (and yield little to any results), I merely want to know if it's possible to dump games using a blu-ray drive.
Hi, i just downloaded copythatgame,and got img burn,can u tell me if it can copy ps3 games and what type of disc do i need.also will it ruin the orginal disc?
Does it depend on the game? Do the files need to be formatted in a certain way in order to use them with RPCS3? If so, how would one go about it?
I don't recall seeing these questions being asked, so if anyone could shed some light on this that would be very helpful!
If it isn't possible, maybe there could be a sticky to how to dump games for a newbee.
Thanks again for any potential response!
EDIT: It seem I was correct to think that some image burners/dumpers don't copy PS3 disc data over properly. I don't know the nitty gritty details, but Snakko was helpful enough to provide a basically revamped quick start guide:
get a proper ISO, the 3k3y tool is kinda picky. I got good results with IsoBuster, but failed hard with IMGBURN. IsoBuster is shareware, but still can rip an ISO without registration key, so you should be good.
2) to get a proper ISO, you need a capable drive. If it's an LG BD burner, it's probably on Mediatek so it should work. Generally as long as you pop a disc in, and can read the file system (e.g. see the content of PS3_GAME , PNG images there are unencrypted) you should be good.
3) after you dump an ISO, check for a corresponding IRD for your GameID (http://jonnysp.bplaced.net/ is a good source for those), basically you need this file to get the disc encryption keys (IRD is a blueprint with encryption keys, files offsets and checksums and other stuffs, but for this purpose you only need the EC), so the patcher can write those and 'fool' the 3k3y tool.
4) open test_patcher, open the ISO file, open the IRD file (you should see the encryption key in the textbox, DON'T write or erase anything in there), then patch the ISO.
5) open the 3k3y tool, press the 1st button (rubik cube), open the iso, if the dump was done properly, it should start to decrypt it into a new file (same path as your ISO file, same name, but with '.dec.' in the middle, like GAME.ISO -> GAME.dec.ISO). It will take a little while, if everything goes right, you should see a green 'Success' in the log window.
I was also given a brief explanation as to what the problem was:
How To Burn Ps3 Games For Free
Those ISOs are basically standard ISOs, with just a bunch of crap written on a specific part of them (starting from block 3952, it adds stuff like the BCA, stuffs on the inner part of the disc that can't be usually read by a generic PC drive and other things, as a 'metadata' for the 3k3y tool itself).
A russian guy found out, around January of this year, how to decode the IRD files, extract the encryption key, and write it on a dumped iso, so the 3k3y tool 'accept' it as an one made by its tool (and that's the test_patcher), and then decrypts it.
TLDR: some image burning software doesn't copy over all the data on from a PS3 disc as it should. IMGburn for sure does not work. ISObuster has been tested to work (shareware, but it can burn/extract discs for free with no issue).
Ideally the quickstart should be updated with that quick disclaimer.
Once again HUGE thanks to Snakko for helping me out with this!
