# PS3 Quick Disc Decryptor (PS3QDD) 💿🔑
### User-friendly GUI to decrypt Redump's PS3 disc images using PS3Dec.
------------------
## 👋 Introduction
**PS3 Quick Disc Decryptor** or just **PS3QDD** is an application that allows you to decrypt PS3 disc images (\*.iso files) in a friendly way.
The decrypted PS3 disc images will work with [RPCS3](https://rpcs3.net/) emulator (*if marked as playable in their compatibility list*).
## 👌 Features
- Simple, user-friendly graphical user-interface.
- Designed for batch processing.
- Supports zip archives (for both PS3 disc images and decryption key files).
- Meticulous status report and error handling.
- Logging features.
- Allows to abort the decryption procedure on demand.
- Allows to see PS3Dec.exe output and progress in a embeded window.
- Allows to automatically delete sucessfully decrypted disc images to save disk space.

## 🌐 External resources
### Encrypted PS3 ISOs
To use this program you will need encrypted PS3 disc images (\*.iso files) from the **Redump** group. It will not work with PS3 disc images from **NO-INTRO** or other groups.
1. You can download **Redump**'s encrypted PS3 disc images from one of these links:
- [Myrient](https://myrient.erista.me/files/Redump/Sony%20-%20PlayStation%203/)
- [Archive.org](https://archive.org/details/@cvlt_of_mirrors?query=%22Sony+Playstation+3%22+%22Redump.org%22&sort=title)
2. Once you have your encrypted PS3 disc images, put all the \*.iso files together in the same folder, like this:
3. Finally, in the program's user interface you just need to select the directory containing the encrypted PS3 ISO files by doing click in the following button:
💡 Tip: You can put all the \*.iso files in a folder with name "Encrypted" inside the program directory to skip this step.
❗ Note that the program will **not** perform a recursive \*.iso file search.
### Decryption keys
To use this program you will need decryption keys for the **Redump**'s encrypted PS3 ISO files, which are distributed as plain text files that each contain a string of 32 characters long.
1. Download the desired PS3 decryption keys from one of these links:
- [Archive.org](https://archive.org/download/video_game_keys_and_sbi) (*you only require to download and extract the "Disc Keys TXT" zipped file*)
- [Myrient](https://myrient.erista.me/files/Redump/Sony%20-%20PlayStation%203%20-%20Disc%20Keys%20TXT/)
- [Aldo's Tools](https://ps3.aldostools.org/dkey.html)
2. Once you have your desired decryption keys, put all the \*.dkey files together in the same folder, like this:
3. Finally, in the program's user interface you just need to select the directory containing the decryption keys by doing click in the following button:
💡 Tip: You can put all the \*.dkey files in a folder with name "Keys" inside the program directory to skip this step.
❗ Note that the program will **not** perform a recursive \*.dkey file search.
### PS3Dec.exe
To use this program you will need a copy of **PS3Dec.exe** file, which is actually included in this package, however if you want to use your own:
1. Download **PS3Dec.exe** from one of these links:
- [al3xtjames's PS3Dec.exe from RomHacking.net](https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1456/)
- [al3xtjames's PS3Dec.exe from ConsoleMods.org](https://consolemods.org/wiki/File:PS3DecR5.7z)
*(✅ This is the one tested and already included in the program package)*
- [al3xtjames's Github repository](https://github.com/al3xtjames/PS3Dec) or one of its [forks](https://github.com/al3xtjames/PS3Dec/forks).
(*❗ I have not tested any of those forks nor checked if they are virus free. Use them at your own risk.*)
❗ Do **not** try to use **PS3Dec.exe** from [Redrrx's Github repository](https://github.com/Redrrx/ps3dec), since it was rewrote using a different (incompatible) command-line syntax with my program.
2. Once you have your copy of **PS3Dec.exe**, in the program's user interface you just need to select the **PS3Dec.exe** file by doing click in the following button:
💡 Tip: You can put the **PS3Dec.exe** inside the program directory - *overwriting the included one or making a backup* - to skip this step.
