<PS3kioskf> oh really?! so then it's true after all?
<sandungas> yes, but is unknow how is used or how it works
<PS3kioskf> oh
<PS3kioskf> i'd wonder if it enables the kiosk's *Install Package Files option somehow
<sandungas> no idea, XMB in shop ps3's is a bit different than retail
<sandungas> and it can be using some functions that are not available in retail
<PS3kioskf> Hmm
<PS3kioskf> does it have some sort of *Debug Settings type option like in DEX firmwares in a way?
<sandungas> yes but i never saw one
<PS3kioskf> oh, maybe that folder could enable that as well which acts like a QA Flag maybe
<sandungas> qa is private use of sony
<sandungas> i think this is a utility for whoever does the "admin" functions of this shop machines
<sandungas> maybe used to clone games firmware or some kind of data from one ps3 to another
<PS3kioskf> ahh
<PS3kioskf> kinda sounds like it but perhaps i could be as it does sound like something it would definitely do.
<PS3kioskf> well most PS3 Kiosks does have kiosk only pre-made type demos but i've never seen it's .pkg leaked before
<PS3kioskf> btw do you know which sony server haves the kiosk demos .pkgs by anychance?
<sandungas> no idea
<PS3kioskf> oh

okay
<sandungas> can be sniffed with a pc proxie
<PS3kioskf> it can?
<sandungas> people uses proxies to find the url of retail demos and games
<PS3kioskf> and another thing, was that post you made about the SHOP Install find from ps3devwiki been removed?
<PS3kioskf> ahh true okay
<sandungas> is still there, the only acceptable reason for erasing info to wiki.... is if will be replaced with improved info
<sandungas> *from wiki
<sandungas> so it will be there until someone explains how it works
<PS3kioskf> Ahhh, i understand
<PS3kioskf> No worries then lol
<PS3kioskf> I just hope we'll ablep to solve this mystery soon
<sandungas> hmm, is hard :/
<sandungas> there are a few more related with mysterious discs
<PS3kioskf> There's more utitly discs around?
<sandungas> there are flags and folders for rare discs that sony never used or used internally
<sandungas> e.g: a "photo disc" (a BR disc filled only with photos)
<sandungas> or music
<sandungas> others are unknown
<sandungas> and a few more folders unknown
<sandungas> this SHOPDIR is another one in the list :/
