Dumping a PS3 game to pc using blu-ray drive?

Seeing as most questions towards this subject are outdated (and yield little to any results), I merely want to know if it's possible to dump games using a blu-ray drive.

Does it depend on the game? Do the files need to be formatted in a certain way in order to use them with RPCS3? If so, how would one go about it?

I don't recall seeing these questions being asked, so if anyone could shed some light on this that would be very helpful!

If it isn't possible, maybe there could be a sticky to how to dump games for a newbee.

Thanks again for any potential response!

Feb 4, 2018 - Spytech Spyagent 8.5 Crack. You are the only one that has access to SpyAgent once you install it - unless you give the SpyAgent password to.

EDIT: It seem I was correct to think that some image burners/dumpers don't copy PS3 disc data over properly. I don't know the nitty gritty details, but Snakko was helpful enough to provide a basically revamped quick start guide:

1. get a proper ISO, the 3k3y tool is kinda picky. I got good results with IsoBuster, but failed hard with IMGBURN. IsoBuster is shareware, but still can rip an ISO without registration key, so you should be good.

2) to get a proper ISO, you need a capable drive. If it's an LG BD burner, it's probably on Mediatek so it should work. Generally as long as you pop a disc in, and can read the file system (e.g. see the content of PS3_GAME , PNG images there are unencrypted) you should be good.

3) after you dump an ISO, check for a corresponding IRD for your GameID (http://jonnysp.bplaced.net/ is a good source for those), basically you need this file to get the disc encryption keys (IRD is a blueprint with encryption keys, files offsets and checksums and other stuffs, but for this purpose you only need the EC), so the patcher can write those and 'fool' the 3k3y tool.

4) open test_patcher, open the ISO file, open the IRD file (you should see the encryption key in the textbox, DON'T write or erase anything in there), then patch the ISO.

5) open the 3k3y tool, press the 1st button (rubik cube), open the iso, if the dump was done properly, it should start to decrypt it into a new file (same path as your ISO file, same name, but with '.dec.' in the middle, like GAME.ISO -> GAME.dec.ISO). It will take a little while, if everything goes right, you should see a green 'Success' in the log window.

I was also given a brief explanation as to what the problem was:

Those ISOs are basically standard ISOs, with just a bunch of crap written on a specific part of them (starting from block 3952, it adds stuff like the BCA, stuffs on the inner part of the disc that can't be usually read by a generic PC drive and other things, as a 'metadata' for the 3k3y tool itself).

A russian guy found out, around January of this year, how to decode the IRD files, extract the encryption key, and write it on a dumped iso, so the 3k3y tool 'accept' it as an one made by its tool (and that's the test_patcher), and then decrypts it.

TLDR: some image burning software doesn't copy over all the data on from a PS3 disc as it should. IMGburn for sure does not work. ISObuster has been tested to work (shareware, but it can burn/extract discs for free with no issue).

Ideally the quickstart should be updated with that quick disclaimer.

Once again HUGE thanks to Snakko for helping me out with this!
