ok i try....

thank you jamjam

The latest Version of mutliMAN can now rip any disc to an .iso file.

I was able to successfully rip my "Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns of the Patriots (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)" disc and verify it as accurate against the redump database.

However it is still unclear if these isos can be mounted and used in its encrypted state.

you have access to the ps3 section?

i doubt the dumps are useful, but psp dumps also don't work in the emulator "jpcsp" until they're decrypted using real hardware. games on psp that required higher firmwares to work needed to be decrypted/patched to work on lower versions of custom firmwares.

the current ps3 dumps might be of use if there was a proper isoloader / custom firmware developed, but i don't know.

Nope. I've just used "Sony - PlayStation 3 (20110531 16-22-07).dat" as found in the latest redump discs archive.

Correct, the .iso images with encrypted contents would propably work on the PS3 if there was a way to properly mount them as if they were actually in the drive physically.

too bad that most talented homebrew developers gave up working on ps3 because they fear sonys law suits.  but on the other hand, fuck iso loaders.

Have there been any developments regarding PS3 dump-specifications?
What is (or will be) the accepted way to properly dump PS3 Blu-ray game discs?
The latest datfile package also contains a seemingly maintained PS3 datfile "Sony - PlayStation 3 (20120827 23-25-03)" but there is no PS3 section accessible on the redump page or dumping documentation after all.
I assume this datfile still holds checksums as calculated from linux / raw dumps?

Nothing has changed with regards to dumping. Use a BD drive and IsoBuster or ImgBurn to dump the discs. The PS3 section is accessible to dumpers only, and there are still not any guides for dumping the discs. The dat file has the same checksums as always (encrypted dumps).

I've tried with an external LG drive, no luck. Doesn't detect the BD at all

Same here.. LG CH10LS28

Well, not all BD drives will work. I think ASUS, Lite-On, and Samsung drives should work since others have dumped successfully with these brands. My drive is a Lite-On iHBS112 2 and it works, but dumping is pretty slow. If you do get a working drive, make your first dump a verification because some drives may overdump the discs.
