they'll be installed to the same place: dev_hdd0/game . all packages aside from certain custom ones install there regardless of location installed from. as for your issue, I'm not sure what could be wrong unless the ports are failing or something.

not sure, I've never used that app or even know what it does really. it could be a corrupted pkg. if the sha-1 doesn't return the same as the pkg, it will error at like 14%.

Put the rap in dev_usb000/exdata or dev_hdd0/exdata then start game.

so, i can use ReactPSN to launch the game, but everytime i turn off the PS3 i have to redo the whole ReactPSN thing.

i think that proves i got it in the right folder. but how do i get this to work correctly with having to use ReactPSN?

Edit 2: yeah i think i need to sign in to PSN and activate my PS3, but idk how without updating the PS3.

you don't even need to do that. all you have to do is run the game with the rap file in the exdata folder on dev_hdd0 or dev_usb000 (the one closest to the bd drive).
I've just installed some games, made the exdata folder for the licenses, but when I try to play a game it shows the PS Store pop up to renew the license. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

do you have an act.dat? I haven't used the ps3 in ages, well before this new method of unlocking, but there's not a single piece of content that can't be unlocked without a license.

I don't know.

I CFW'd my PS3 Slim two weeks ago and today I decided to install apps and games on it expecting it to work just fine as it did on others, but oddly, it doesn't.
