GUI that manages the downloading and processing video game ROMs/ISOs from Myrient Video Game Preservationists. Written in Python!

• Multi-Platform Support: Download ROMs/ISOs from multiple gaming platforms
  • Available platforms are easily extensible via YAML configuration
• PS3 ISO Decryption & Extraction: Option to decrypts and extract downloaded PS3 software for use on consoles and/or emulators like RPCS3
• User-Friendly Setup: Required binaries are retrieved & set automatically (on Windows)
• Cross Platform: Should work across all platforms!

1. Download the latest release for your platform
2. Extract and run the executable
3. That’s it! File lists/necessary files will be retrieved automatically and stored in config/.

• Simply launch Myrient-Downloader-GUI and you should be prompted to automatically download the required tools from their respective repositories!
  • Alternatively, you can download the binaries PS3Dec and extractps3iso from below and manually specify them via Settings

# Arch Linux (AUR)
yay -S ps3dec-git ps3iso-utils-git

# Or install manually from source repositories

The application uses a dynamic YAML-based configuration system located in config/myrient_urls.yaml, allowing for easy addition of new platforms without changing code.

The destination folders of in-progress and completed downloads for each platform can be defined via the Settings menu. Settings are saved to config/myrientDownloaderGUI.ini.

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Or on Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S python-aiohttp python-beautifulsoup4 python-pyqt5 python-requests python-yaml python-pycdlib

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/hadobedo/Myrient-Downloader-GUI.git
cd Myrient-Downloader-GUI

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the application
python3 ./myrientDownloaderGUI.py

• Myrient Video Game Preservationists – Game preservation and hosting [Support Myrient]
• Redrrx’s PS3Dec – Modern PS3 ISO decryption tool
• bucanero’s ps3iso-utils – PS3 ISO extraction utilities
• gotbletu’s ps3-split-iso and ps3-split-pkg scripts) – PS3 ISO/PKG splitting scripts adapted into Python
• AI 🙂

• Better logging
  • Also add toggle to enable/disable ps3 decryption logs on Windows
• Terminal interface
• Consolidate myrient_urls.yaml and myrientDownloaderGUI.ini into a single yaml (maybe)
• Improve downloading of filelist jsons and myrient_urls.yaml, goal is to make user ‘more aware’ of what’s happening
• Add dropdown box/’hardcode’ some myrient urls for easier system configuration (maybe)
