Dumping

Note: You need to have up-to-date ManaGunZ installed on your PS3 (version 1.39 or higher strictly required).

• Connect an NTFS-formatted external device to your PS3, with a PS3ISO folder on the root of the device (a preexisting PS3ISO folder won't be needed in version 1.41 of ManaGunZ; it'll be created automatically and won't fail)
• Launch ManaGunZ with the your game disc already inserted into the console (as of version 1.40 of ManaGunZ, inserting disc while the program is open works, but is a bit buggy and requires extra steps).
• Hover over you game's icon on the PS3 section of the user interface. Make sure that there is a Blu-Ray tag on the lower right side of your screen while hovering over your game, to make sure it is an disc game and not a game dump.
• Press triangle while hovering over your game. On the menu that pops up, click on "Build Encrypted Blu-Ray Disc" and choose a destination for your dump (in this case, it should be /ntfs0:/PS3ISO if you already connected your NTFS device and it was detected correctly). Wait for it to finish dumping.
• After the dump is finished, an encrypted ISO (a .iso.enc file) should be present in the PS3ISO folder of your NTFS partition.

Dumping metadata using Getkey

Note: You need to have installed the GetKeys v2 package, and up-to-date ManaGunZ (version 1.39 or higher strictly required).

• Connect a FAT-32 formatted usb into your PS3
• Open ManaGunZ, press start to enter settings, and navigate to System Tools.
• Click on "Dump 3Dump.bin." (a 'Done' notification should appear once the process is finished).
• Exit ManaGunZ settings by pressing the back button (circle).
• Press select to enter ManaGunZ file manager.
• Navigate to /dev_hdd0/tmp/; a file named 3Dump.bin should be present in the directory. Select it by pressing square over it, press triangle to open options, and click on copy.
• Navigate to the root of your inserted usb device (should be named /dev_usbXXX/), open options and click on paste.
• Exit ManaGunZ, insert your game disc, and run GetKeys (with your USB still attached to the console).
• GetKeys should create two files on the root of the USB drive: disc.pic & getkey.log
• The getkey.log file will contain the disc_key, disc_id and PIC. If anything went wrong creating the 3Dump.bin or extracting the data, the "getkey.log" will contain a WARNING message saying the process failed.
• Make sure that you provide the complete and correct metadata for each dump.

Notes:

• The developer of ManaGunZ may integrate the GetKeys package into ManaGunZ, so 3Dump.bin generation may not be necessary in the future: [2]
• Inserting a disc into the PS3 while ManaGunZ is open only causes a bug when there are no other items/games to be scanned in your console/drive/etc. The bug in question is that the icon+UI won't be automatically refreshed when the disc is inserted, which can be fixed by changing UI styles to Coverflow and back to XMB. (or opening the program again). The issue has already been reported: [3]
