PS3 Game Updater v1.3
Awesome tool that lets you update your games that you have on the PC before transferring them to the PS3! FTP Support.

All credits go to trueicecold.

Oh man!
This is infinitely useful, since I'm not updating my PS3 until things smooth out.

But, I just got a new harddrive, so I wouldn't have been able to get updates.

Thanks for finding this.

This would have been handy a couple if days ago, for that monstrous Heavy Rain Move patch. Good tool - do you just FTP across, and overwrite what's in the games folder, or is it an install file (like PS3 OFW updated) from USB?

GNkyrios · Jan 27, 2011

so how the software checks if the update is compatible with your dongle or CFW?

I would like to know if this is possible as well?

I may have to experiment with this

It's a .exe that runs under Windows. You tell it where your games are then and it lists them along with their versions. You can then update them. Btw it's been updated to 1.2 which lets you scan your /dev_hdd0/GAMES folder via FTP and then update.

why is everyone so scared of updating their games over ps3? its always worked for me, just start the game the first time, and let it update w/o problem

Smartpal · Jan 28, 2011

Just sometimes the games stop running if you use a backup manager. :S

what happens if u use a modified eboot wont the update mess that up?
Also i get "unhandled exception" error when i try to use this.
Im using windows 7 64 bit.

Smartpal · Jan 29, 2011

I think it would yeah. But why are you using a modified eboot anyway? Still on 3.4.1? Do you have .NET framework installed?

shanefromoz · Jan 29, 2011

im still on 3.41 and use a ps3key with spoofed firmware.
Pretty sure .NET framework is upto date but will check.

Cheers Shane

So update to 3.55 and get one of the custom firmwares. You won't be able to run newer games on 3.41 forever you know.

GNkyrios · Jan 30, 2011

thats a personal choice, and theres no real benefit for using 3.55 CFW right now.

How about fixing the app so it works correctly.
Im staying on 3.41 for as long as i can.

It's not made by me. Runs perfectly fine here. Why don't you try googling that error.

Smartpal · Jan 31, 2011

v1.3 is out. I've uploaded it to filetrip this time. Changelog at filetrip.
Download

Once you have the update downloaded how do you install it?

Sotoro · Jan 31, 2011

copy the *.pgk file to the root of your usb device and select "install package files" in menu

It isn't a PS3 homebrew. It's a Windows application. So just run the .exe in Windows.
