deba94Ever wonder if GT5 cars could be hybrided? If so, me too. I've had some theories about the game data, but I won't be able to apply them without your help!
First a disclaimer:
NOTE: AT THE MOMENT, THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY TO MODIFY ANY GAME DATA IN ANY GAME IS WITH A JAILBROKEN PS3. THIS MEANS THAT THE CONSOLE MUST BE ON A FIRMWARE LOWER THAN 3.56, AND THUS MEANS THE CONSOLE CANNOT GO ONLINE. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO PLAY ONLINE WITH A JAILBROKEN PS3.
I hope this answers any questions about possible cheating online.
Now for some background info about me:
I'm a computer programmer, you may know me from the Arduino B-Spec automator. I have two PS3s, one I use for homebrew (jailbroken), the other for online gaming.
Now that that's out of the way, let us begin!
On the GT5 disc, is a GT.vol file. Just like the GT games before 5, it's one big archive containing game data including music, cars, etc. This is a huge file, weighing in at 12098856960 bytes, about 11.3GB.
I'm fairly new to the Gran-Turismo-data-modification-scene, and have little to no knowledge on the compression format used on the GT.vol files, but all I can say is that the tools used for previous games fail to unpack this file.
So I looked for another route...
The best route I found was DLC. All PS3 DLC comes in packages called PKGs (heh). I've taken a look at one piece of DLC, the Edge Special Camaro. The PKG can be found here. I have unpacked this PKG using freely available tools, and have yet to conclude anything significant... More PKGs are required.
Which is where you guys come in .
It would be helpful if people could grab this links of other DLC (chrome line, stealth) the same way I have grabbed the Camaro link.
(NOTE: DLC IS LOCKED TO THE ACCOUNT IT IS DOWNLOADED FROM, THIS IS IN NO WAY A METHOD OF STEALING DLC. ALSO, THERE IS NO RISK OF BEING TRACKED BY PROVIDING A LINK, ALL LINKS ARE THE SAME PER DLC AND COME FROM THE zeus.dl.playstation.net DOMAIN.)
To do this: (jailbreak not required)
1. Download this
2. Extract to a location
3. Start the program
4. Follow the instuctions (on the PS3, go to connection settings and set it up normally. When you reach "Use Proxy" select yes and enter the ip address and port shown in the program.)
5. Connect to PSN and go to your Downloaded Content in the Playstation Store.
6. Find your chrome line and/or stealth DLC and select "download" (you may cancel once the download has begun.)
7. Look at the program, and copy the link that begins with "zeus.dl.playstation.net"
8. Paste it into this thread!
Any help would be appreciated
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
Sounda a lot like hacking at the start.
