I couldn't find anything either. I've never seen even a hint of the ps3 dev tools floating on the net as I've seen mentioned around forums online but i'm pretty sure you need a dev console just to use it?

The post i'm referring to is http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4069&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=ps3 Yes, it really seems that the disc are encrypted, but I saw that some files are not, like the png for the icons and the trophy list, I can even see the description of the trophies ... Anyw...

I see. Well that's a bummer! Reading the forums sounded like someone was able to get into FF XIII but obviously that must be the xbox 360 version, or someone with a development kit?

I've been seeing lots of posts on other topics mentioning getting into ps3 games and thought about posting this topic just for ps3 reverse engineering questions, starting with a few of my own. First off to be blunt and forgive me if I sound stupid for asking, is it possible to extract files from ps3...

wierd.. perhaps i need to check out that converter ffmpeg. I looked at my programs and they all support ADPCM but they don't recognize that header type.

I see. I tried the latest build of the unxwb. Still same issue though. Even in Mplayer and yes if I can get ahold of FFmpeg I'll try it out, I need to be able to open these files in a program like Sound Forge Pro 10. I looked at the header information in the wav files being output and I get "RIFFŒ¿ ...

Thanks for posting that tool "unxwb" It definitely extracts wave files but they are unusable! I've tried renaming these to mp3 or any other type of compressed file as the music files in wave format are under 6 megs at most! I know the music in the game is a lot longer than 30-40 seconds... I'm wonde...

Awesome, thanks!

anyone successfully rip ANY ps3 game for that matter?

which tool is that? multi-ex isn't doing it if that's what you're referring to.

I imagine coming up with a useful tool that can identify each file individually, recognize it as either audio, texture, or whatever else the particular data inside could be, convert it, and save it as the correct universal file format of choice (audio = .wav; texture = .tga) etc... would be a long-w...

Nice work! the animation importer imports the animation sequence as it's own mesh and will only work properly if you first import the MD5mesh file and then import an MD5anim directly after. If you save the scene in Max, Max will lose the link to the mesh and the bones will just move on their own.

Curious, which "engine" are you speaking of that utilizes 2 FBX files for mesh and animation and bone data? Usually FBX is a universal format for most autodesk stuff and especially for Motionbuilder, which gives you access to the mesh, and it's bone data and animation. I use Naturalmotion Endorphin.

Thanks assassin! Didn't even know about the grawtool until this thread!
