ebootFIX! ebootMOD!

Submitted by greg; April 01, 2011

If you're looking to fix or mod your EBOOTs then deank, developer of multiMAN, has something for you ... and you, and you ... and just about anyone else who is sporting a hacked PS3 wanting to play backups on a lower firmware version -- lower than the game may actually require. Download the package below and inside you'll find a whole whack of files, but we're going to keep the attention on "ebootFIX.exe" and "ebootMOD.exe." ebootFIX.exe This tool processes whole game folders; drag & drop the folder of whatever PS3 game, the parent folder holding all the game files and sub-folders onto this executable and after it crunches away you'll be left with two new folders: [NPDRM] and [RETAIL]. What's the diff? From _readme.txt:

[NPDRM] - content ready to be installed as PSN-style XMB game: You will find two PKG files in the folder. The tool will decrypt and sign all executables (EBOOT.BIN and other .self / .sprx files) to make them compatible with lower firmware versions. Follow the generated INSTRUCTIONS in [NPDRM] folder. [RETAIL] - all files which you can replace in your original backup copy to play the game via a Game Manager.

ebootMOD.exe This one takes a single file -- drag & drop an EBOOT.BIN or a .self or .sprx -- and it'll result in a decrypted and signed file that is again compatible with lower firmware versions. Of course you can find more info in "_readme.txt" and at the source. Also included is a version of multiMAN v1.16.11; a test build that properly handles sprx files when using "shadow copy." Download: ebootFIX / ebootMOD (Final #5) - source: psx-scene

Tags: deank, EBOOT.BIN, ebootFIX, ebootMOD, multiMAN, NPDRM, PS3 Backups, PS3 Tools, SELF, sprx, windows

The App sounds great in theory; every folder I tried to process ended up failing because of a software crash. Anyone have different results?

The first crash was at about 80%, the second was instant, and third was almost completely done being processed before it failed. All three were different games. The game with a .BIN + .Self files crashed instantly.

Thank god.
Ps3hax did, although it was pretty obvious, considering they promised 3.60 CFW+mkv&ntfs support.

# Pacman32 2011-04-01 09:33

Thanks this is for noobs like me for easy way to downgrade eboots rather than having to search the net all the time for 3.55 or 3.41 fix's.Great work :)

# callkiller 2011-04-01 09:48

I tried it out on a game (kmeaw 3.55) that I know required a patched EBOOT and the game works now!!!!

well then youre both fools

# IdeiaFix 2011-04-01 16:08

This will fix Dragon Age Origins boot?

# NotEasy 2011-04-01 16:14

Does anyone know if this Eboot requiered a BRdisc inside? Or can i just install the game in the HD and play it without a disk inside? My BRDriver in broken :(

# Playstation3D 2011-04-01 16:14

anyone heard about the new firmware from rebug.me you can still sign into the Debug server by going to debug settings and change the network enviroment from np to sp-int and reset the ps3 make a new user on your ps3, you can use quick sign up add me blickmaniac no i'm not geohot. lol add me on the ps3 if you have Call Of Duty: World At War i want to see if can join my private game. when i try to play online it says DW Session error 102 'BD_EXCEPTION-IN-DB' maybe cause i'm the only player online? not sure. please try this we might have our own private playstation network! i run it through charles but it still connects using the old X-Platform-Passphrase

# Daniyal Tahir 2011-04-01 21:36

Thanx working great and easy to use all have to do is drag the eboot file to ebootMOD.exe

# Chris Manley 2011-04-01 21:47

ebootFIX has been out since multiman 1.15 idiots saying april fools. And the ebootMOD is based off veritas guide to unselfing eboots, changing metadata sections to unencrypted, changing SDK version to 3.4, and changing self to Fself, then re-encrypting to 3.41. I can do this process manually it took me about 3 days only to learn then Deank comes out with this, ebootMOD does work i have 4 different versions of it.

If it's not working for you, on PC put it in a directory without spaces in the name like C:\ and run multiMAN_01.16.11_UPDATE_TEST.pkg in Ps3 before running game.pkgs

Trust me before this it was much easier to fuckup because you had to set up a linux program in windows, find ps3 keys and put them in the right directory, find multiple versions of .exe files that may or may not work properly without warning you, then exchange megabytes of code from ELF to BIN file with a calculated hex offset.

# Christopher Bell 2011-04-01 21:54

there is all of this 3.60 jailbreak all over the internet but you have to do one of those survey sites, is this real because the comments from the like 200 different people all said it worked perfect....so am i imagineing things or is there a 3.60 jailbreak already out?

# Chris Manley 2011-04-01 22:22

# Daniel Thuman 2011-04-01 22:39

This works 100%!!! Um......the game Warriors: Legends Of Troy was a fairly new game witch needed new EBOOT but with this awesome shiznet the genius Deank made i was able to play. If your trying to get a back up to work use the mod and switch out your eboot's from the game folder and try it out. Would recomend backing up original.

# Chris Manley 2011-04-01 22:45

If you have a space in yourr filename of where the program is it will mess up, also try unzipping the .rar to windows/system32 folder then using it in windows command line. Make sure your dragging the PS3_GAME folder. What errors does it give you, if the window goes away to quick do it again in command line cause the window will stay open then.

# Chris Manley 2011-04-01 22:47

April fools it's real

# Banmonster 2011-04-01 22:51

no fools gold. I posted bout this yesterday works just fine.. The whole Ferrox thing was expected good to see it wasn't here. 3.60 or above will come but look 4/19 POP Socom 4, Prtal 2...4-30 Driver 5/17 Brink and LA Noir..24 dirt3, Fear3 -31 red fact armageddon 6/7 operation flash and infamous2. If new Cfw is pushed these titles will surely be pushed to newer OFW before they are dropped. What do you expect? As soon as devs drop the latest sony reverse engeneers "which they have teams working on currently trying to guess what'll be next" our devs are virtually solo artists who can't claim their fame no more. It'll spiull when the timing is right.

# chris 2011-04-01 23:23

if only this worked with psp minis anyone know how to install and play mini isos on ps3

# bigoh123 2011-04-02 01:33

sorry im a newb but can someone post a step by step how to for idiots like me sorry

# bigoh123 2011-04-02 01:35

i try to drag the file to the ebootfix.exe on my windows pc but it just keeps closing after i drag the file is there something im doing wrong?

# Guest 2011-04-02 01:38

Thank you Chris ill try again with the next ones. I followed everything to my knowledge. I thought I was doing it right because it did not error until later; I guess I figured it would error much sooner if it was a Dir error. Thanks for your reply.

# Chris Manley 2011-04-02 01:53

not real, but it has been exploited.

# Chris Manley 2011-04-02 01:54

depends on the game, but in theory yes.

# Joe Parks 2011-04-02 09:00

Still...not really explaining what to do or how to use it...

# Brendan Stack 2011-04-02 13:33

Thanks just copy game to usb drive follow instructions and replace all the files from the new folder of the retail copy to the usb drive and play off the backup manager running hermes 3.41

# Banmonster 2011-04-02 15:07

you don't need to use nothing but ebootfix and the eboot mod folder. Read the "READ me" Drag the game folder over then when it is done it'll spit out 2 packages use the one for the firmware you are on. for me 3.55 install package. Go to multiman press select+start then select game press R3 to create a shadow image. Exit select game in multiman. it'll go back to xmb gome to shadow in xmb and select to boot game. Not that hard realy... all the folders confused me at first till I read the instructions

# Statizz Jhagroe 2011-04-02 18:11

can i use this 1 for the fix of NFS shift 2 unleashed

# Glenn Gilmour 2011-04-02 20:03

keep the ebootfix.exe in the same folder as all the files extracted when u first dwnld it

# slackerforlife 2011-04-02 21:49

TEAM
Xperimental in the house, we would just like to say this is in fact working.
just found one thing, you have to install the .pkg file after you create the
the shadow copy. the read me have it before that gave me errors
with geohot / Wutangrza cfw 3.55.

# skai0 2011-04-03 01:47

Are we not allowed to apply updates to the games we play by using this? When I installed the update for Disgaea 3 it deleted the icon to boot to the game straight from the XMB...
BTW, it's important that I apply the update to the game because otherwise it will not run all you get is a black screen so this is important for me. ):

# babyjoe2095 2011-04-03 12:46

can i use this to host old cl's on mw2?

# Jessie James 2011-04-03 16:03

One of my ps1 game disk's went out, so i went on media Go on the PC payed for it again and downloaded it. I got to install via the install PKG option but its asking me to log in on the PSN to unlock it. Does anybody know how to unlock it with out going online? I'm in KM 3.55

# NyyirS 2011-04-05 01:55

# Michael Ross 2011-04-05 05:04

It's not real. Head on over to http://psx-scene.com, go to the forums and read. When there is a way to exploit 3.6 it'll be posted there. Don't believe anything else you read. Survey sites to get to the exploit info? Seriously? It's real because like 200 ppl said it was? Seriously? Don't believe something just because you want it to be true. Use your head a little. Bookmark that site and use it for all your PS3 jailbreak info.

# Josh Drought 2011-04-07 05:56

is this only compatable with kmeaw cause i cant tell what cfw i am on and everytime i try using this it spits out a whole range of other folders some empty and others not and alot of the time it says error while it spits them out

# sxyleexx 2011-04-07 12:23

is there any disk error fixes yet i have bullet storm it loads ok then after a level or two it stops saying disk was ejected and cant continue and i have two games it comes up with error code on the godfather 1 and larry box office can one one help i dont know if theres any patch or if anyone working on it thanx

# Jonathon Sherwin 2011-04-08 03:23

To the author, you might want to consider this change...
With ebootfix when its compiling the NPDRM pkg make it alter the directory that it installs to eg. from BLES12345 to xLES12345, if you do this you can install Game Data for games that need it and install updates for all games.
just a thought.

# Matthew Lai 2011-04-09 19:33

is it just me or does make_self_npdrm .exe not work??????????
