I played Ratchet: Deadlocked before it shut down in June 2012. The game used DNAS. Would it be possible to bring back its servers?

Hi! dnas is not a problem as long as Sony's Dnas server is Still running.
The problem would be to recreate the game server as it was on a dedicaded server (I mean it was not a shared server as gamespy was. Gamespy server was used for a lot of games).
I don't know how to recreate a server, but if you want to do this you will need packet captures from when the game was still online.

Since DNAS is down forever, I'll add one more question.
Is there a chance No23 and other expert members will manage to pull up a DNAS server emulator for UYA and Deadlocked / Gladiator?
Also, I always wondered if UYA and DL / G are region exclusives, I mean, if you play the PAL version you'll be able to play only against PAL users.

At this very moment I'm afraid this isn't possible. Only games in the DNAS forever collection can pass the authentification test. Every game uses a unique 1024 bit RSA key that is impossible for us to break currently. Maybe possible in a few years or decades?
Of course I am looking for further flaws DNAS that would allow us to add every game to the collection, but I wouldn't place a bet on this.
