Encrypted PS3 ISOs

To use this program you will need encrypted PS3 disc images (*.iso files) from the Redump group. It will not work with PS3 disc images from NO-INTRO or other groups.

1. You can download Redump's encrypted PS3 disc images from one of these links:

   • Myrient
   • Archive.org

2. Once you have your encrypted PS3 disc images, put all the *.iso files together in the same folder, like this:

3. Finally, in the program's user interface you just need to select the directory containing the encrypted PS3 ISO files by doing click in the following button:

   💡 Tip: You can put all the *.iso files in a folder with name "Encrypted" inside the program directory to skip this step.

   ❗ Note that the program will not perform a recursive *.iso file search.

Decryption keys

To use this program you will need decryption keys for the Redump's encrypted PS3 ISO files, which are distributed as plain text files that each contain a string of 32 characters long.

1. Download the desired PS3 decryption keys from one of these links:

   • Archive.org (you only require to download and extract the "Disc Keys TXT" zipped file)
   • Myrient
   • Aldo's Tools

2. Once you have your desired decryption keys, put all the *.dkey files together in the same folder, like this:

3. Finally, in the program's user interface you just need to select the directory containing the decryption keys by doing click in the following button:

   💡 Tip: You can put all the *.dkey files in a folder with name "Keys" inside the program directory to skip this step.

   ❗ Note that the program will not perform a recursive *.dkey file search.

PS3Dec.exe

To use this program you will need a copy of PS3Dec.exe file, which is actually included in this package, however if you want to use your own:

1. Download PS3Dec.exe from one of these links:

   • al3xtjames's PS3Dec.exe from RomHacking.net

   • al3xtjames's PS3Dec.exe from ConsoleMods.org

     (✅ This is the one tested and already included in the program package)

   • al3xtjames's Github repository or one of its forks.

     (❗ I have not tested any of those forks nor checked if they are virus free. Use them at your own risk.)

     ❗ Do not try to use PS3Dec.exe from Redrrx's Github repository, since it was rewrote using a different (incompatible) command-line syntax with my program.

2. Once you have your copy of PS3Dec.exe, in the program's user interface you just need to select the PS3Dec.exe file by doing click in the following button:

   💡 Tip: You can put the PS3Dec.exe inside the program directory - overwriting the included one or making a backup - to skip this step.
