Dumping guide for PS3 discs. For the forum discussion topic on PS3 dumping please see[1][2]. 3K3Y setup video here[3]

Dumping on PS3 console or PC work equally well. If you already have a compatible PS3, then that's the cheapest path. If you dont, then it's cheaper to just by a drive and go with the PC Dumping method.

Dumping with a PS3 Console

Tools

Requirements: Soft/hardmodded PS3 running a CUSTOM firmware to dump the ISO to an external USB drive.

• PS3 with 3.55 OtherOS++ CFW
• MultiMAN 04.20.00 or higher
• 3k3y Keydumper v1.00
• GetKey r2

Dumping

NOTE: If the PS3 is running a cobra CFW and up-to-date multiMAN, you have to select from the XMMB menu mmCM > 'Switch to multiMAN mode' to make the the option 'Enable Direct Disc Access' appear in the start menu. Otherwise, the ISO that you create will be incorrect (decrypted).

Dumping the ISO using MultiMAN:

• In XMMB display mode, go to multiMAN > File Manager / mmOs.
• In the start menu, select 'Enable Direct Disc Access' (with the game disc inserted).
• Switch back to XMMB display mode. In the multiMAN column, select 'Refresh'.
• Now go to the Video column. It should now show a BD/DVD entry. Go to it, and select the 'Copy to ISO' option.
• You can now copy the ISO to your preferred destination. For the best speeds, select the internal HDD.
• Once it is dumped, you can use File Manager to copy/paste the ISO from the PS3ISO folder to your USB drive.
• If your destination is FAT, >4GB ISO's that are split into segments have to be combined again (using e.g. copy /b).

Dumping the metadata using any Linux variant:

• Use 3k3y Keydumper to create a 3Dump.bin file for your drive.
• Place GetKey and 3Dump.bin in the same folder. With the disc inserted, from a linux shell, run GetKey: ./GetKey 3Dump.bin >output.log
• The output.log file will contain the disk_key, disc_id and PIC.
• Please make sure that you provide the complete and correct metadata for each dump.

Dumping with a PC and Blu-Ray drive

Dumping with a Windows PC and specific, compatible Blu-Ray drive is the cheapest way to get dumping (unless you already own a PS3).

Tools

Hardware

• 3k3y Ripper Device[4]: v2 is preferred for a wider range of compatibility, but v1 will work fine with the drive linked below.
• Sony PS3 Blu-Ray drive with sector 2 zeroing[5]
• Power adapter (necessary for laptops, optional for desktop PCs). Search "UGREEN USB to IDE Converter, USB 3.0 to IDE" on Amazon - even though you don't need to convert IDE to anything, it's still a great power adapter for feeding power to your Blu-Ray drive.

Software

• IsoTools
• GetKeyFrom3k3y
• DVDToImg

Setup

• Hardware: Your Blu-Ray drive should come with a ribbon, attach this to the 3k3y Ripper. The 3k3y Ripper should come with a USB cable, plug this in to the 3k3y Ripper and the other end into your computer. Hook up the Molex power connector to your desktop PC. If you want to dump with a laptop, feed it power with the UGREEN power adapter AND plug the adapter's USB cable to the laptop for additional power. Your computer should detect the drive.
• Software: Install IsoTools linked above. Unzip GetKeyFrom3k3y and DVDToImg, these two are command line apps.

Dumping

• Make sure your Blu-Ray drive is empty, you can eject any discs with the tiny black button on top of the 3k3y Ripper.
• Open IsoTools app. Go to Tools > Preferences, and under "Drive Options" click "Use Default Keys".
• Close and reopen IsoTools. You should get a warning telling you that if you press "Yes" you will no longer be able to use the drive with a PS3 console ("You've enabled the use of default keys..."). Chose "Yes".
• Put your PS3 disc into the drive. IsoTools should recognize the disc and say something like "PS3 Game Disc: BLUS-12345, Ready". Close IsoTools app.
• Now open up the command line and cd (change directory) to the location of the dvdtoimg.exe that you downloaded earlier, and run a command: dvdtoimg f gamename.iso (where "f" is the drive letter). Eventually, percentage will reach "100%" and then "Process finished".
• Reopen IsoTools app and choose "Rip". Now IsoTools will ask you where you want to save the files (an .ird and a .dec.iso). Once you click Save, IsoTools will start dumping. You can immediately "Cancel" the dump.
• Move the gamename.dec.iso file to the location of GetKeyFrom3k3y.exe
• Now in the command line, cd (change directory) to the location of GetKeyFrom3k3y.exe, and run a comand: GetKeyFrom3k3y "gamename.dec.iso" >info.txt.
• Now you can delete the .ird and gamename.dec.iso files.

Submit your Dump

Info to submit:

• Checksums for gamename.iso
• info.txt file
• Inside of gamename.iso > PS3_Game folder, find PARAM.SFO. Open this in a text editor to check version number, or copy paste the info in your submission.
• Game title
• Serial number as printed on disc
• Barcode numbers
