PS3 GAME UPDATER V1.0

By Rudi Rastelli

Credits:

• @ifcaro for 'PkgView'
• @RipCord for 'resign_to_disc'
• aldostools for 'game/klics-database'
• @DeLiGht for 'psn_package_npdrm'

Feature List:

• Single-Game-Mode: Downloads game-update(s) by simply selecting a game in one of it's 3 usual formats(PKG / ISO / Folder).
• Batch-Mode: Creates an updates-archive, which could contain all available updates for all games of the user. Choose either a game-archive(ISO's, PSN-Game-PKGs or Game-Folder) or a text-list containing 'Game-IDs'.
• PKG-Extractor: Extracts PKG-files at the same folder where the PKG-file is.
• Install-Updates-Disc: Creates a disc, which can be used to offline install game updates of a certain game (2 types of discs: auto-install & bubble install) *NEW*
• Finale-Game-Disc: Creates a disc, containing the game itself and all of it's updates for auto install. *NEW*
• Integrate Updates: Convertion and Intergration of update(NPDRM)-files to disc-files (useful mainly 4 ODE-users with older PS3-firmware)
• Already downloaded game-updates will be skipped
• Outdated game-updates will optionally be deleted from updates-archive
• The update-pkg-files get well readable names
• Creates a log-file while updating updates-archive in order to have a quick overview of wht#s been updated *NEW*

Usage:

• Hopefully self-explanatory...read the tool-tips

Notes:

• -Updates will be stored and organized in the folder(=updates-archive) you've selected on 1st start... You can change that folder via 'Extra'-menu If you don't select anything here a "MyPS3GamesUpdates"-folder will be created and used inside progam-folder
• Using the "Delete outdated Updates"-option in batch-mode allows you to clean up your game-updates-archive and keep it up-to-date.
  • Tip: Activate batch-mode -> Select your game-archiv -> Leave anything as pre-selected -> [Download]-Button -> archive will be updated
  • In batch mode select a game-archive-folder. E.g ".../GAMES/", ".../PS3ISO/", ".../MyPSNGames/" Or... select a text-list. Example for a typical valid text line: "BLUS12345 WHATEVER_YOU_LIKE_TO_WRITE_HERE"
  • If you create the "Install Updates Discs" to "GAMES"-folder you will have all updates for a game as disc ready for offline-installation, without the need to 1st copy update.pkgs over to PS3. This is really useful if you stream your games(and the updates as well).
  • Usage : Mount "Install Updates Disc" -> Install updates -> Mount game -> Play (most easy with type "Auto Install Updates Discs")
  
  
• Whenever you've updated your updates-archive, just call the "Install Updates Discs"-function again to update the discs as well.
• Number of game-updates on a "Install Updates Disc" is limited to 99, which is far enough for all already existing games.
• The "Make Final Game Version"-function is useful for older games for which no further updates can be expected. This way you can create a game-version that contains all available updates and you will have everything on one place.
• The "Integrate Updates"-function is highly experimental and doesn't work with all games. A BACKUP OF THE GAME FOLDER IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !It creates zip-files of the original-npdrm-files and it's patched-to-disc-files in program folder.
• Some of the 'Extra'-menu functions will give you an extra help-text when called.
• Update 'game-database' and 'klics-database' from time to time via 'Extra'-menu

Regards & Happy XMAS

PS3 Game Updater 1.2

By Tranced

Another quick update to PS3 Game Updater has been released by developer Rudi Rastelli. The update improves sorting in webMAN, ISO creation and splitting of ISO's larger than 4GB.

PS3 GAME UPDATER - ChangeLog

V1.2:

All Updates-Discs names and GAME_Titles in PARAM.SFOs now start with '°'-character to make them appear at bottom of webMAN-game-list
(This does not effect the updates itself... they will install with normal GAME_Titles)

A progress bar which will be shown when creating an Updates-Disc-ISO (instead of the % value shown in v1.1)

V1.1:

Changed naming of Updates Install Disc(s) for slightly better sorting in webMAN

Updates Install Disc(s) could now be created as ISO(s)

ISO(s)>4GB will be automatically split when FAT32-device is selected as target
