Hacking [Release] Maidump Game Downloader

[gnmmarechal]

So I went to the site named by the password field on the OP (well, seems I can't name it x.x) and tried to find the password..... Only some time later it hit me..... x.x

As I understand it, this doesn't download games off Sony's servers, but somewhere hosted by a third-party without permission. This pretty much qualifies it for being a warez tool.

Frankly, even if it did download from Sony's website, it would still be a warez tool.

At any rate, doubt we'll have a freeShop here. Nintendo's security with the 3DS is completely different from the Vita's.

As long as it downloads stuff directly from its official source, you could argue that it isn't a warez tool since warez is by definition copyrighted content hosted by third-parties without permission.

I suppose that's why freeShop is here. That and the fact that it needs the title keys to work.

So we can download games directly to the console with this ?anyone can compile this

The app is incomplete, and seems to run on LPP-Vita, so you don't need anything but the ZIP to build the VPK.

I was reading the readme text that comes with the source code.

Rin didn't make this. He only made LPP..which was used as the source/tool to make this. LPP is the interpreter for the source code.

Yeah, looking at the source code, it isn't finished; it is just the idea with some code. Silly me, I thought that this was finished. @Garblant I wouldn't call this a release really since its not only just source, but uncompleted as well. It is an interesting concept, but without a centralized, known MaiDump server or something, the app is essentially useless. Unless someone does all of that on their own or with a team, this is just unfinished concept code.

The code is 99.9% complete. Its not unfinished. I put notes in such a way that anyone who thoroughly reads through the source code can get a PoC going

Not incomplete. Read above

99.9% complete still is incomplete x.x

That 1% is probably because the application is not capable of making contact with Sony's servers...yet.

Wrong. This is to download dumps made with MaiDump. You don't get that from Sony's servers. Also, their security works in a different way from the 3DS's. I doubt we will have a freeShop here.

It will not or will ever contact Sony servers,
Now, if you'd setup a server on your own you might be able to download backups from your server to your vita and finish the unfinished code and complete the app.

Im not going to download and have a peek at the source, I dont support this at all.
I already pissed off the developer once so im gonna hold my tongue, I dont know IF my writing above is accurate.

Perhaps one will release a finished build or not.
Time will tell.
Cheers

Not when the .1 is simple stuff and does require any coding knowledge

yes this is not like CIAngel/freeshop
but making something like CIAngel is so possible, very viable, not much of a challenge.

the only thing i can't imagine how to do is install the pkg from the vita itself... since for vita, you normally install pkg files from the pc, using cma...

anyway, when we have signature patches and real piracy, then we can have all the good stuff the 3ds scene has

As long as it downloads stuff directly from its official source, you could argue that it isn't a warez tool since warez is by definition copyrighted content hosted offshore.

ah so having the files hosted domestically isn't warez
(sorry to poke at your english)

Not at all. There are only two values for completion. complete or incomplete. 100% is complete. Anything besides that is incomplete.

how would it be possible? Do we have direct download links to said pkg files/whatever way they are stored in the servers?

At any rate, atm we can't install those.

yes we have access, just like for years
it really annoys me (nothing personal against you lol) - that people seem to forget everything about psp, ps3, when new devices come out.
vita system, downloads etc, it works so similar to the ps3.

ps3 had something like CIAngel/FunkyCIA, except it was on the pc. it downloaded from sony etc, i think...

we can easily do something like that for vita, we just need more hacks so we can get our fake tickets (rif files) past the system.

Fixed. Thanks for the english lesson. Happy to learn new things every day.

I never used such a thing similar to CIAngel on my PSP tbh, and my PS3 is a Super Slim on latest OFW so I wouldn't know much about PS3 hacking.
