(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I know everyone has been annoyed by the PSN login requirement that is not needed for various PSN video services like Hulu, Netflix, YouTube ect... However the community has figured out various methods for various apps to allow the use of them without the need of that pesky PSN login. That seems to annoy everyone. So no longer be annoyed with that problem on the popular Anime service Crunchyroll, Thanks to this tutorial from PSX-Scene membercorpse101. View all the details in this Tutorial below.

There have been many others who have unlocked or found a workaround for many video streaming services (Netflix, Amazon VOD, etc) to work without requiring PSN login.

However Crunchyroll (Anime streaming service) has not had a fix... until now!


I am including the changed file + directions for those of you who would like to do the work.

This is very similar to the fix for Amazon VOD, only a single file needs to be changed, however the file is encrypted.


To do this yourself you need:
FTP or usb drive to transfer files to computer
Decryption\Encryption program for SDAT
(I used @user program npdtoolv4c link )

Enough sense to follow directions (for gosh sakes read through all directions first)


Directions:


  • Browse in mM file manager to dev_hdd0\NPUP10027\USRDIR\js\app\Crunchyroll\
  • Copy file config.js.sdat to USB or FTP it to your computer.
  • Download and extract the npdtoolv4c
  • Place the config.js.sdat file in the npdtool extracted folder
  • Open a command prompt and navigate to the extracted folder (alternatively you can use full file path references)
  • Run command 'npdtool.exe ds config.js.sdat config.js' (Dont close cmd prompt as we will use it once more)
  • Delete the config.js.sdat file, you no longer need it
  • Open the outputted config.js file in your favorite text editor
  • Find the line ps3.config.enablePsnLoginCheck = true;
  • Change the true value to false and save config.js
  • Go back to the command prompt window
  • Run command 'npdtool.exe 4s config.js config.js.sdat 8000'
  • Copy the new config.js.sdat to your ps3 in the same directory you got it (rename the original one just in case!!!)
  • Exit MM and enjoy Crunchyroll will now work and no longer prompt for PSN!!!





Notes:
I provide no warranty on your PS3. While this change is not system critical something can always go wrong, don't blame me, but seriously read all directions and follow them and you shouldn't have problems.
This has been tested on 4.46 Rogero/COBRA CFW with the latest version of the Crunchyroll app. This should work on other CFW as well so long as you can run the Crunchyroll app. If you are on older FW you may need to resign the Crunchyroll Eboot all this does is bypass the PSN login!

Here is the changed file
