PS3 developer nevik has released PS3Tools version 1.A  Previous releases were for other platforms and now this is for the Mac OS X users out there.A  This handy set of tools has all of the great PS3Tools you already know about but they are now usable with Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7.

Read what nevik has to say about using PS3Tools before proceding.

"Good day all! A few weeks ago I got tired of having to either go to windows or to linux to accomplish a Ps3 related task. So I decided to put together a simple gui to accomplish these goals and now I want to share it with any others.

This is just a GUI for fail0verflow's, Mathieulh's (ps3 pkg extractor), HACKERSCHANNEL-PS3Py's, Wargio's and gehots tools.

ALL CREDIT FOR ANY REAL WORK GOES TO THE AUTHORS OF THE TOOLS THAT ARE BEING USED!

Thanks to defyboy for the wiki and euss for maintaining it!
