=====================================

=====================================

This isn't finished yet. The injector is tested only on RPCS3 and Evilnat CFW.
This will be way more unstable than any nightly/dev builds of RB3E for Xbox
and Wii.

Thank you so much to Julian / NotNite for helping out and writing a free
software SPRX injector. https://notnite.com/

Do **not** report bugs or missing features to the RB3Enhanced GitHub -
report them in the #dev-and-reversing channel in the RBEnhanced Discord.
Or the #rbenhanced channel on libera.chat IRC. Feel free to ping me (IPG).

THIS ONLY WORKS ON THE EUROPEAN (BLES00986) EBOOT!
- Rock Band 3 Deluxe comes with this version of the EBOOT.
- The European EBOOT works on the American (BLUS30463) copy of the game.
  See the bottom of the page.

CUSTOM FIRMWARES OTHER THAN EVILNAT CFW 4.90/4.91 ARE NOT SUPPORTED!
WE WILL NOT HELP YOU IF YOU ARE RUNNING REBUG, SORRY!
(no shade, just deprecated)

== TUTORIAL ==

1. If you don't already have it, install the .NET 8.0 SDK:
   https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

2. Download the latest build of RB3Enhanced PS3 (2024-08-11):
   https://i.ipg.pw/rb3eps3/RB3Enhanced-ps3sdk-cb4d258.zip
   Source code is available at https://github.com/InvoxiPlayGames/RB3Enhanced

3. Place the .sprx and .txt files in the /dev_hdd0/rb3/ folder.

4. In RPCS3, go to Utilities -> Decrypt PS3 Binaries and navigate to
   /dev_hdd0/game/BLES00986/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN
   (or BLUS30463, if you are using Rock Band 3 Deluxe)

5. Download the code to NotNite's SPRXPatcher.
   https://github.com/NotNite/SPRXPatcher
   
6. Copy the EBOOT.elf file (NOT the .BIN file!) to the SPRXPatcher folder.
   
7. In a command prompt or Terminal window, run these two commands:
   cd C:/Path/To/SPRXPatcher
   dotnet run --project SPRXPatcher -- EBOOT.elf /dev_hdd0/rb3/RB3Enhanced.sprx EBOOT_rb3e.elf
   
   [Protip: You can drag the folder onto the command prompt after typing "cd "]
   
8. Follow the rest of the tutorial depending on if you're using RPCS3 or a
   real PS3.

== PART 9+ FOR RPCS3 ==
Scroll down further for PS3 CFW!

9. In your game USRDIR, rename the original EBOOT.BIN to EBOOT_backup.BIN.
   Copy EBOOT_rb3e.elf from the SPRXPatcher folder and rename it to EBOOT.BIN.
   
10. Set Rock Band 3 in your game list to use **Interpreter** PPU mode.
    RB3Enhanced will not load properly otherwise. Yes this makes the game
    really slow.

11. Launch the game. RB3Enhanced should load!

== PART 9+ FOR REAL PS3 (EVILNAT CFW ONLY) ==
 
9. Use a PS3 version of make_fself to convert the ELF to an EBOOT
   make_fself.exe EBOOT_rb3e.elf EBOOT.BIN

10. In your game USRDIR, rename the original EBOOT.BIN to EBOOT_backup.BIN.
    Copy EBOOT_rb3e.elf from the SPRXPatcher folder and rename it to EBOOT.BIN.

11. Launch the game. RB3Enhanced should load!
   
**Don't share modified EBOOT.BIN files.**
Please try not to make tutorials that encourage the use of non-free or
closed source tools, or tools that only run on non-free operating systems.
