I really need help, I've been trying to figure this out for weeks! I've asked in other forums (even the BSD forum) but nobody has been able to help. BSD won't work for me!
Ok so the link on Aldostools.org site is down and so I found another youtube video by Aldo which had the download links (for Brute force save data v4.7.4) but the application won't run, I tried running as administrator and it makes no difference. I get no error message, nothing happens.
I followed the instructions starting with opening Msvbvm50, I got a message to extract all. But then a new folder is created (which I assume should have contained the extracted files) but it is empty. So I instead extracted it using 7zip, it extracted all files to the new folder (except for some reason the actual Brute force app icon. So I manually clicked on it and extracted it to the same folder.
Since it still didn't run, I googled and found people advising to add the following files to the Brute force folder:
Missing Files Error:
MSVBVM50.DLL
msvcr110.dll (and another person stated it should be msvcr100.dll and mscomctl.ocx but I already had this last file included in my download)
So I added all the above files (including the MSVBVM50.exe which I already had from aldo's download link) to the 'BruteforceSaveData' folder. I then (as per another suggestions) added the PS3 Bruteforce Save Data program to the DEP exception list: Control Panel -- System -- Advance system settings -- Performance [Settings...] -- Data Execution Prevention -- [Add...]"
But none of this made any difference! Is my antivirus somehow blocking the app without alerting me to the fact??
I then downloaded v4.6 (the link was from one of xiam's youtube tutorials) and It unzipped and installed normally, and it even actually loaded up (with a message at the top saying 'scanning folder, please wait) but then I always get a message saying 'Brute force Save Data has stopped working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'. It freezes up and I have to click close.
Hope someone can help, and any help at all is appreciated!
