Re: Minecraft (PS3) dumped incorrectly?
Posted by EmptyEnvelope2 on .
Correction: I do not have a Minecraft Blu-Ray disc. If someone had one it would be much appreciated if you checked the name of the file.
According to the IRD from the vault (the txt log made by Zar's ird tools and Johnny's IRD), there should be a file in /PS3_GAME/USRDIR/Common/res/TitleUpdate/ called "tutorialDiff."
The dot is part of the file name, supposedly. However, the file name in the dump provided in the vault is simply called "tutorialDiff" with no dot at the end, and thus IRD verification fails (at least in ManaGunZ).
Thus, I see 4 possible errors which could be occurring:
a) The file does not have a dot at the end, but the IRD file places one at the end either way (compatibility?). Unlikely since both the IRD from Johnny's Library and the IRD generated by Zar using ManaGunZ contain the ".", and the programs that generated them are most likely different (checksums of the IRD sums do not match each other, but information does).
b) The file does have a dot at the end, but dumping it on a windows machine caused the OS to freak out since files with dots at the end are not permitted, and so it was removed (manually or automatically).
c) The file does not have a dot at the end, but the IRD log dumps places one at the end. Again, unlikely since Zar's IRD tools and whatever tool Johnny used seem to put a dot at the end, despite them being different tools (only recently was Zar's tool made public, so Johnny must have used another tool to see the file names).
d) 7z is messing with the file names while encrypting or decrypting.
Unfortunately, I do not have a Minecraft ISO to check in my PS3 file manager. If someone does, could you please check if the dot is at the end of that file? I assume Vimm that you have (or at least, are able to produce) an encrypted ISO matching Redump. Could you dump it on a none Windows machine to check if there is a dot present in that file name?
Either way, checking for this error will either lead to repairing the IRD included with the ISO, debugging some IRD tools, repairing the dump, or fixing 7z compression. Thus, finding the error is not a worthless endeavor.
