Hi, i hacked my slim ps3 a few months ago (runnig 4.82 REBUG) and have added many games a lot of which have DLC, up to this point i haven't had significant problems getting them to work, however i have never gotten the DLC for JOJO:ASB to work properly, i tried many .pkg files and fixes from different sites, and none of them worked, i even tried with both the USA and EUR regions for the game and DLC, still nothing, according to the site i got the DLC from it does not require any .RAP file to work, the game even says the DLC is installed,it even shows the spots for the extra content (characters) but none of them are selectable.

i've tried activating the DLC through ReActPSN but it does nothing, does anyone know how to make the DLC work for this game?

I have the same problem :( I even went and finished the EX missions for those characters in story mode thinking it would unlock them,and even tho it gave me a screen saying said characters have been unlocked (vanilla ice in this case) they are nowhere to be found, just empty character slots :(

hmm personally I prefer to use PSNPatch over ReactPsn, i think its a little simpler. I had similar issues with ReactPsn for other games... I think it has an "unlock option" and if you have a .rap or .edat file, put it on fat32 formatted usb drive in a folder called "exdata". Then insert the drive into ps3, launch PSNPatch and hit L1 to install rap or edat files.

EDIT: You can add multiple rap/edat files at once to the exdata folder

The thing is there doesn't seem to be a rap file for this DLC, according to PSNDL it doesn't require one and even when i tried looking for it, i didn't manage to find anything, no .rap file or .edat file, just the .pkg for the DLC.
Can PSNPatch activate the DLC without it?

Was there not a FIX that came with it? You usually need either a rap file or FIX to play any DLC. I've never seen a DLC not have one or the other.

Nevermind, I looked it up and you're right it says no .rap required. I really don't know why it's not working.

I know ReactPSN can't do anything without a rap file. Never used PSNPatch.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I just remembered you usually need to update the game for DLC to work did you update? You can update a game on PS3 without it effecting PSN or getting banned.

If that doesn't work I sent you a pm.

Im not completely sure but theres an option on PSNPatch called "Unlock demos and ps2classics". That was used for pkg files that didnt require a .rap file so it miight work. Hopefully it does, id suggest giving it a try :) plus PSNPatch is better than ReactPsn anyway :D

Hi, sorry for commenting on such an old thread but i lent my only working controller for a long while and finally got to try the PSNPatch method today, sadly i got the exact same result again. Any other ideas?
