DECR1000A - Many questions about it...

PSN games will work if you resign their eboot to debug or get a "fix" pkg for them since those are also debug signed, Could you tell us what homebrew you tried that didn't work?

 

Ah ok, and how do we resign these files? I'm just trying to start SNES9X and FCUE (Super Nintendo emulators and NES).

Sorry to bother you but I have another question: the BDEMU is good, but you need to connect to a computer every time to change BD slots (4 maximul slots), is there no way to install its ISO sets In the dev_hdd0 of the DECR1000A?

Go there for any homebrew, Make sure to get the 3.55+ versions cause I doubt the ones for older works.

If you package up the games into pkg's you can install them on the systems main HDD, The "TrueAncestor" set of tools are great for this.

 

Thank you so much for your link, we seem to find interesting things!

For the "TrueAncestor", it sounds pretty complicated: s Does anyone have a simple tutorial or method?

Well I make a point about my finds and my problems of the day:

* About the internal BDEMU on the DECR1000A:
I have two ISO games (South Park SoT and Rayman Legends):
- For South Park, all is ok, I managed to start it with the Jackhead's guide but only on the BDEMU (I managed to find the update PSN that I compiled in .pkg and that I ' Indeed, Jackhead specifies that without these updates, it is impossible to start the games on the BDEMU).
- For Rayman, always on the BDEMU of the DECR1000A, impossible to start it because I'm blocked ; impossible to find an PSN update whether it is EUR, USA or Asia, no updates exists! So, the game does't want to start, but is that really the problem in your opinion? I'm blocked...

* About installing games on dev_hdd0:
I discovered that Target Manager software offers the possibility to install HDD Boot Games (so homebrews) via their PARAM.SFO or .pkg (so nothing new !). It's specified that you can only install games labeled "HDD", not "Game Data" (extracted ISOs): I tried to install South Park in this way, and a error message appears, which is normal. So I had the idea to use PARAM.SFO Editor which allows to change the type of game, so I transformed the PARAM.SFO of this game from "Disc Game" to "HDD Boot Game "; Miracle, the game installs on the HDD! But unfortunately, he refuses to start ...

So I'm stuck , but still happy to step by step in the use of this DECR1000A in two days, but it's mostly thanks to your advice to all of you, and you fate6! But I'm sorry to ask questions day by day, but French websites are very poor on the subject and few people know the DECR1000A ...
(It is 11pm in France, I go to bed, I will read your answers tomorrow with pleasure and attention!)

 

Forgot TM could install games like that!, You still need them debug signed tho and true ancestor really is the best at that but I don't think anyone translated it to French.

 

I do not understand anything about this software!

And for the emulators of your link, I have tried some that do not work .... I have the impression that this DECR1000A, despite its size, has no great possibilities! Or maybe I do not know how!

 

You're not wrong actually, the DECR looks cool and for making software is great but for regular use its terrible, a DECH would have been the better choice.

 

A quick note, on the DECR-1000, assuming you use the DEV bdemu drive (and not an external usb one) you are limited to 8 slots (that is if you program the slots and flash the iso manually by connecting the drive directly to a computer), on a usb drive you have a virtually unlimited number of slots though.

 

I know but on my DECR1000A, I would like to install games on HDD without change manually slots like BDEMU because I would like (actually a friend, this DECR is not mine, but my friend knows nothing about it) play games independently without having to connect a computer. He would like to enjoy the 400 GB internal hard drive to store games!

 

I try to package a retail games with TrueAncestor (Resigning tool and Package Tool) : Package Tool is very easy, so i don't have problems with this software ! But Self Resigner is a bit more complicated for me, I find myself with this window:

The DECR1000A on which I work has an OFW and not a CFW, so I guess it's options 9, 10 and 11 that concern me? What is the difference between options 10 and 11 and which option should I use with the EBOOT of a game that comes from an extracted ISO?

If I'm wrong then, before using Trueancestor PKG, I have to patch the PARAM.SFO from "Disc Game" to "HDD Boot Game", is that right?

 

NPDRM is the name of the packages you would get from PSN, Try running 9 then 11? I have CFW with webman so I never really had to try resigning all that much.
So decrypt eboot.bin then resign to NPDRM, after that repack it to pkg or install from Target Manager.

Not sure if it will work but I hope so :/

 

I have tried it but it does not work, I have a black screen when the game launches ... (I specify that the game I want to install is a disc game [extracted ISO of course) and not a game PSN). The game is South Park Stick of The Truth.

I will try to reinstall the game, and to install the update PSN also in pkg (but I doubt that it changes something, because you can very well play a game without putting the update PSN .. .).

 

You want to make it into a PSN game even if it was a disc based one first, also don't run any update since it will cause problems with the resigned eboot.

 

Okay, I hadn't thought about the update ... I don't put it, I do a final try by installing a game with TrueAncestor ... I hope it will work.
Here's what I did (tell me if it's good):
- In the PS3_GAME folder, I extracted the PARAM.SFO and the EBOOT.BIN
- With SFO Editor, I changed the type of game (Disc Game ===> HDD Boot Game) and choose a low firmware version
- With TrueAncestor SELF Resigned, I decrypt the EBOOT (option 9) then option 11.
- I handed these two files to the PS3_GAME folder of the game
- With TrueAncestor PKG, I compiled everything in a pkg
- I install the PKG from the DECR1000A with Install_Packages.

EDIT : It dosn't work...
I don't know what to do !
If someone has a other solution or another software...

 

Wait are you running the program from within its rar file? why? unpack your stuff man!
Anywhoo IDK im out of ideas here but if it keeps black screening then it could be an issue that the game needs something from a newer system version? or maybe it still wants a license file? IDK :/

 

Everything is unzipped so the problem does not come from there!

This game can be launched via BDEMU without problems, and that I even happen (with lag but that's normal in this case) to launch it via app_home / PS3_GAME (but for it to work, you have to resign the EBOOT.BIN with option 11, I get there and it works), that's why I do not understand that it refuses to launch from the hard drive...

 

Nobody ?

 

Based on that last screenshot you posted you are running the resigner program from temp, as in you didn't extract the program.
Could cause problems but I doubt thats the main issue here.

And yea im out of ideas :/

 

It's not mine screenshot but one but a screenshot found on a website so do not worry, the problem is not there !

When I use Check option on the Game XMB Menu, there is a lot of errors ("Status" but also an error from .DAT file) :

Could you share that CFW that you talk about? I just acquired a DECR-1000A and would love to Install CFW on it, I've seen some YouTube videos of people running Rebug CFW on DECR.
