Dumping your IDPS and ACT.DAT

ps3xploit.com & ps3xploit.net are no longer owned by members of the scene and should not be used.

Your IDPS is the ID that PSN uses to uniquely identify your console. You may want to back up your IDPS in case you ever swap it for another one or want to use it on another console. Your ACT.DAT file is your console activation data tied to your account.

Requirements

• FAT32 formatted USB storage device
• A PS3 with either 4.80/4.81/4.82 official firmware, 4.83 or newer CFW/HFW, or DEX 4.84 CFW/OFW.
• (Optional) PS3HEN or CFW installed on your PS3
  • This is required if you want to back up the RIF licenses and act.dat, but optional if you just want the console's IDPS.
• A PSN account that contains the licenses you want to dump
