PS3 dumping instructions

[Jackal]

Stuff needed:
PS3 method:
- PS3 with 3.55 OtherOS++ CFW
- MultiMAN 04.20.00 or higher
- 3k3y Keydumper v1.00
- GetKey r2

PC Method:
- 3k3y Ripper Device + IsoTools
- IsoTools
- GetKeyFrom3k3y
- DVDToImg

PS3 method:
NOTE:
If the PS3 is running a cobra CFW and up-to-date multiMAN, you have to select from the XMMB menu mmCM > 'Switch to multiMAN mode' to make the the option 'Enable Direct Disc Access' appear in the start menu. Otherwise, the ISO that you create will be incorrect (decrypted).

Dumping the ISO using MultiMAN:
- In XMMB display mode, go to multiMAN > File Manager / mmOs.
- In the start menu, select 'Enable Direct Disc Access' (with the game disc inserted).
- Switch back to XMMB display mode. In the multiMAN column, select 'Refresh'.
- Now go to the Video column. It should now show a BD/DVD entry. Go to it, and select the 'Copy to ISO' option.
- You can now copy the ISO to your preferred destination. For the best speeds, select the internal HDD.
  Once it is dumped, you can use File Manager to copy/paste the ISO from the PS3ISO folder to your USB drive.
- If your destination is FAT, >4GB ISO's that are split into segments have to be combined again (using e.g. copy /b).

Dumping the metadata using any Linux variant:
- Use 3k3y Keydumper to create a 3Dump.bin file for your drive.
- Place GetKey and 3Dump.bin in the same folder. With the disc inserted, from a linux shell, run GetKey:
  ./GetKey 3Dump.bin >output.log
- The output.log file will contain the disk_key, disc_id and PIC.
  Please make sure that you provide the complete and correct metadata for each dump.

PC method:
Dumping the ISO using a PC BD-ROM drive:
- Only certain drives (Mediatek chipset, +6 offset) are able to detect PS3 game discs, including: SAMSUNG DVDWBD SH-B083L, ASUS BC-08B1LT, LITE-ON iHBS112
- IsoBuster can be used for extracting the ISO:
Right click on Track 01, select Extract Track 01 -> Extract User Data (*.tao, *.iso, *.wav) menu item, then choose folder for extraction and press OK.

Dumping the ISO using 3k3y Ripper:
Setting up:
NOTE: If you have an extra/dumping-only drive, you can check "Use Default Keys" under Settings. The drive will not work with a PS3 console after this.
- Use 3k3y Keydumper to create a 3Dump.bin file for your drive.
- In IsoTools, press 'Load 3Dump' to load the 3Dump.bin file.
Dumping:
- Open IsoTools and it will show that the drive is detected/authenticated.
- Insert a disc and wait for it to be detected, then close IsoTools.
- Dump the disc using DVDToImg: dvdtoimg.exe driveletter dump.iso

Dumping the metadata using 3k3y Ripper:
- Open IsoTools and it will show that the drive is detected/authenticated.
- Insert a disc and wait for it to be detected.
- Press 'Rip Game' and select your destination to dump the ISO file.
- Wait until the ripping starts and then click Cancel to stop ripping.
- Dump the metadata using GetKeyFrom3k3y: getkeyfrom3k3y.exe IsoTools.iso
- Delete the IsoTools ISO file.

FYI: GetKey r2 doesn't work correctly for me on Red Ribbon Linux rc7. The do_unknown_e0 function fails. I took the advice of 'GetKey --help' and tried running from petitboot's shell, and that works fine.

I think the problem is due to red ribbon, I have the same problem. It works fine in debian and petitboot, don't think it's been tested elsewhere.

My PS3 method is slightly different, because the method above doesn't work for me:

Dumping the ISO using MultiMAN:
- In XMMB display mode, go to multiMAN > File Manager / mmOs.
- In the start menu, select 'Enable Direct Disc Access' (with the game disc inserted). The disc will eject then go back in.
- Switch back to XMMB display mode. In the multiMAN Game column, select 'Refresh'.
- Now go to the Video column. It should now show a BD/DVD entry, but for me it doesn't.
- Instead eject the disc from the multiMAN Game column, but leave it sticking out of the drive.
- Then go to multiMAN > File Manager / mmOs, you won't be able to select 'Enable Direct Disc Access'  again unless you restart multiMAN. So click restart in the start menu, and it will restart, in a few seconds you will be back in File Manager / mmOs, with your disc sticking out of the drive.
- In the start menu, select 'Enable Direct Disc Access' (again) (with the game disc half in/out) it will pause for a few seconds then swallow the disc.
- Switch back to XMMB display mode. In the multiMAN Game column, select 'Refresh'.
- Now go to the Video column. It should now show a BD/DVD entry
- Go to it, and select the 'Copy to ISO' option.

Hope that helps anyone who the original method doesn't seem to work for. This method works for me on my NTSC 60gb launch model with Emotion Engine, running 3.55 cfw and latest MM. If the original method doesn't work try this instead.

It works for me everytime if I follow my exact method to the letter.

Maybe someone with more linux knowledge can help me with this.

I've been trying to setup my ps3 for this. But i keep running into problems. I'm a linux noob so might be easy fix i dunno.
I'm running Rebug 3.55.2 Otheros++ or whatever it's called. I can boot into petitboot and acces the shell. From there i acces the usb drive with the created 3Dump.bin and the getkey files. However i cannot run them from usb as it says it's a read-only file system. Got around that by copying the needed files to /. And execute them from there. When executing it created the log. And with nano i can view it. At the botom it says something like completed succesfull so i asume it's done right. Now here is my problem.

If i do 'cp output.log /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1' to write the log file back to usb it complains cannot write to read only file system. So i do 'mount -o remount,rw '/tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1'' to remount it with write permissions. I can then copy the file to that location. However it's not actually copied to the usb drive. When accesed from pc the file is simply not there...
If i goto that location in petitboot it shows the file should be there, and can even be opened with nano.

Anyone can enlighten me what i'm doing wrong?

mount /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1 -o rw,remount

should work.. if you do 'mount' and it shows you that there's write access.. just run GetKey from the hdd partition and then copy the files over to the usb drive.

Thanks, dunny why but once i changed to your mount line it worked. Can now write to the usb drive. Although it did already show as rw in mount with the line i posted. Why it works doens't matter as long as it works. Got a perfect match to a dump already in db so will get the logs for all my discs and put them up soon.

Not even going to bother installing a real linux package. Wont be used anyway.

EDIT:
All keyfiles dumped. Once i rebooted the problems were back, but was fixed by using both mount command, lol.
Now all left to do is de the multiman dumping that seems to take forever... 8.5MB/s... sigh.

ol, don't forget a "sync" after a write to usb.
It might be that the first time, the changes were not yet written  to the stick, but were still in cache.

Can anyone recommend a newer Drive for the PC dumping method?
None of the suggested drives in the first post seem to be available to me anymore.
Will new ASUS drives (e.g. BC-12D1ST) work too?

When will the missing steps / tools for the PC method be provided? Thanks!

[V.]

A Lite-On iHBS112 works, but there are a few others.
The missing steps require at the moment some external hardware, it is at this point not yet known if we can succeed in getting disk id and encryption keys without the extra hardware and/or a ps3.
