Hello, I recently used the new exploit to install CFW, I have WebMAN running and my games on an external hard drive in a GAMEZ folder, When the game loads Peace walker works but neither of the other 2 games work. I am running the latest Rebug CFW , I know there is supposed to be some sort of fix for it but I have no way to understand how to use or get it, can anyone help me?

EDIT - Found the fixes

Got it fixed, for anyone else looking for a fix, make sure you have the US version BLUS30847 and download the 1.01 update and the 1.01 fix

Update - https://store.brewology.com/get/update.php?url_id=001d81a9da837d622b5a18e7770cfa8024384e6e

1st, I didn't upload it, 2nd, can a fix be pirated content? 3rd, Ill just change the link to the page that has the link ;)

You just linked to more piracy. Yes it's piracy if it's a fix file, a fix file contains a file that unlocks games/game data which originally you never purchased. I am not trying to be rude to you or anything sorry if it seems that way, but pirated content is pirated content. I recommend you remove the link completely from your first post and your second post.

@Zero72463 Doesn't work for me. I still have a black screen when trying to boot MGS 2 and MGS3. I got the US Version.
Installed the Patch 1.01 via PKG and after that the FIX. Doesn't work...any ideas?

The irony of people crying piracy now when gba temp started way back when exclusively to host the latest gba roms in one place. Y'all must have short memories but that's none of my business...

Lol was just informing him and recommending he delete it nothing more. It's really up to him or a mod.

Just download the games in "ps3_game" folder format and copy them to the "GAMES" folder on an external hard drive. Multiman and Webman see, and play these games just fine. Haven't had a single one fail as long as it's in this format. I initially downloaded several games that were in package format, and installed those games from package files. Hardly any of those worked. Always had to find .rap files, and had to run several other programs to get them to work. Big pain in the ass. Find a website that has all it's downloads in "ps3_game" folder format and you should be good to go. One last thing. When games are downloaded in ps3_game format, this allows you to copy them to a FAT32 external drive. No need to use additional programs on the PC to split files for the 4GB FAT32 limitation. No need to run NTFS prep tools for Multiman/Webman to see the external hard drive, as is the case with downloading ISO files larger than 4GB for NTFS formatted drives.

Convert it with multiman to an iso. That worked for me

The main problem is that I wanted to play from external HDD due to internal space problems.
Moving the game from external to internal worked but I wanted to know why
In the end the game that I downloaded had the original .psarc game files splitted using opensplit (that .666xx format) and that's why it didn't work from external, moving it to internal with multiman automatically unites the archives and makes the game playable when using the fix and making it start emulating BD
To be able to play from external I tried to decompress original .psarc files that I downloaded from other site but it was making the game more than twice heavier and I was not sure that it will work so I canceled it
I would be able to play it from external if my USB was NTFS instead of FAT32 since it would have allowed me to copy the .psarc files without spliting or decompressing them but Multiman gives me problems that way (it recognizes the USB but don't load archives)

TL;DR: Coping the game from external to internal is the easiest way to go and it's not worth it trying other things specially when you have finals next week
