This hack only works on a jailbroken PS3!

Finally did it! I have tested the hack and it's working on my european XIII disc.

1) Download the PKG file here:
You must login or register to view this content.

2) Install the Infinite Gil PKG.

3) Insert your XIII disc.

4) Launch the Infinite Gil PKG. This will load your modified EBOOT.BIN instead of the original one.

5) Go to a save point and then sell or buy something. Once an exchange is done, you will gain 999,999,999 Gil instantly!

Credits goes to hyper2k at CP for the discovery of this cheat and me for making it work on the European version. Have fun!

"Install the package, then create a folder called FF13GAME on your dev_hdd0. Then the folder USRDIR inside FF13GAME, then place white_data from the backup USRDIR inside the FF13GAME/USRDIR
Final created directory should look like this /dev_hdd0/FF13GAME/USRDIR/white_data/"-Hyper2k of PSX

You can see on picture below, I am 3:48 in the game (just after the 1st two battles) and have 999999999 GIL (You can also see the L1/R1 which shows that this is for PS3).


Unfortunately, for the life of me, I can't upload the .pkg I built to install the patched EBOOT.BIN (my proxy is not working). I can, however, tell you how to achieve this.

1. Decrypt the SELF
2. If you want the infinite gil (technically, max gil on buy/sell), open the ELF in a hex editor and search for the byte pattern
Code:

"7F 9D 40 00 40 9D 00 08 7D 1D 43 78 93 A7 26 38"

3. When you get the match, replace the "7F 9D 40 00" in that pattern with "48 00 00 08". You are basically replacing
Code:

cmpw cr7, %r29, %r8

with
Code:

b 5A19C4 #this instruction might be different on others

which will force the game to skip a max limit check on the GIL, then just store the max GIL as the current GIL.
4. Before re-encrypting and re-compressing the ELF, make sure to update hard-coded paths (replace the /dev_bdvd paths to valid /dev_hdd0 paths)
5. Encrypt the SELF
6. Build the .pkg.
7. Install the .pkg, then depending on how you build the .pkg, transfer remaining files.


Steps 2 and 3 are specific for the Asian version of FFXIII (BCAS25005). I don't have the US nor the Japanese version so I don't know if other regions use the same instructions (most likely they should).

I know that I am very vague in several steps, but you can find more instructions at psx-scene.com about the rebuilding of BDVD SELF to HDD SELF.

It's a complicated process, but at least now you can get to cheat a game on your PS3!

yea just tested it it gave me 999,999,999 gil infinite too

sorry 4got 2 quote last one reply please?

how you get it to work?

i read this is for back ups, are you using one????????

I just follow the steps, backup my game into the HD then install .pkg 3.55 FFXIII eboot, then open awesome file manager, then create a folder called FF13GAME on my dev_hdd0. Then the folder USRDIR inside FF13GAME, then place white_data from the backup USRDIR inside the FF13GAME/USRDIR

Final created directory should look like this /dev_hdd0/FF13GAME/USRDIR/white_data/

the white_data is the important part.

sorry to ask what did you use to back up the game and is there a stealth version?
are you running CFW 3.55 (just making sure)
and did this game always run when you back it up??? (on 3.55) or does this pkg allow it to run now?


btw funny because you asked a few days ago about this


also do you need to back it up? like would it work if you ran the disc with those files created?
