PS3:Decrypting PS3 ISOs

If a PS3 is not used to dump a PlayStation 3 disc, the resulting ISO file will be encrypted, resulting in an error when attempting to run the game, usually `80010017`.

Materials Needed

 * a matching IRD file.
 * PS3ISOPatcher (mirror).
 * 3K3Y (mirror).
 * Optional: [[Media:3k3y_iso_tools_user_manual_v1.0.pdf]]

Finding a matching IRD file

 * 1) Find the TitleID of the ISO.
 * 2) * This is required as a single game can have multiple releases over multiple regions.
 * 3) * If the titleID of a game is unknown, it can be found using the following method:
 * 4) Drag and drop the ISO file into HxD or other similar hex editor program and find the titleID next to the "PlayStation3" text, OR
 * 5) Mount the ISO or open it in a file explorer such as 7-zip or Winrar.
 * 6) Locate either `PS3_DISC.SFB` or `PARAM.SFO` and open the file with a hex editor program.
 * 7) Inside the hex editor program, find the titleID, it will be in the form of `ABCD12345` or `ABCD-12345` e.g. "BCES00510".
 * 8) Open a web browser and navigate to Aldo's PS3 IRD database or alternate database.
 * 9) In the search bar, enter the titleID previously found, and download the corresponding IRD file.
 * 10) * If a matching IRD cannot be found, the ISO cannot be decrypted and will need to be dumped from a PS3 console instead of from a PC.

Patching the ISO

 * 1) Extract "patcher.zip".
 * 2) Open `test_patcher.exe`, select the matching ISO and IRD files, and press "Patch" once ready.

Decrypting the ISO

 * 1) Extract "3k3y.zip".
 * 2) Open `IsoTools.exe`, and select "ISO Crypto"
 * 3) Navigate to and select the ISO and select "Open".
 * 4) * A file with the extension ".dec.iso" should be created in the same directory as the ISO.
 * 5) * This decrypted ISO can now be transferred to a PS3 inside `/PS3ISO` and played without any extra steps, however for sake of completion, further steps are listed to convert the decrypted ISO back into JB folder format.
 * 6) Still in 3k3Y, select `Tools` > `ISO` > `Extract ISO`, open the ".dec.iso" file, and in the file explorer prompt, create a new directory for the extracted files to go into.
 * 7) * A new folder is created because that will be the folder transferred over to the PS3.
 * 8) * The JB folder format game can now be transferred to a PS3 inside `/GAMES`.
