Try with a disk in and start it from the actual disc icon (not from app_home/ps3_game which becomes a disk icon with the text Playstation 3 when a game is mounted in mM)
Just to double check, is this to see if the game installs? If so, it does. Or is this to see if it will launch from the disc using the HDD files??
Both, so is it working with a disk in? If it is, then problem solved. The disk doesn't have to be the gta disk, it can be any original game disk. Always keep an old one inside and start your mounted games from it. It's less headache because many games don't work discless.
Well, my question then is, it currently is installing from the game disc but by installing it this way, after the game install files are on the HDD, then I should try to launch it via mM>XMB>"app_home/ps3_game"AKA the game, while keeping any BR disc in the drive, right?
No, don't start it from app_home/ps3_game (Playstation 3), start it from the actual disk (any disc) that's in the drive which would be mounted as gta iv ce when you mount the game through mM.
I loaded mM, selected the HDD rip of GTAIVCE, pressed square, radio button for game disc, and then hit start. At XMB, I chose the disc, not app_home/ps3_game (which was still displayed like that), and it didn't work... I am still doing it wrong?
Remove the radio button from Game Disc.
app_home/ps3_game should change to Playstation 3 with a disc icon when you mount a game through mM.
Regardless, when you mount the game through mM, start it from the disk that's in the drive not from app_home/ps3_game (or Palystation 3).
I just tried it and it does get stuck on the loading screen with the music, then the music stops. When i tried to exit, the ps3 triple beeped and restarted. (Game data is already installed and i have a save with the story complete)
I will let u know if i manage to get it to work.

OK. Though for me, when I exit/quit the game via PS button, it does go back to the XMB as usual, no triple beep. On my side, it just stalls out.
Thanks for checking it out.

After doing some research, it seams that this particular game is known to hang on the loading screen when mounted from internal on any CFW.
I now remember that I didn't complete the game on the Complete Edition, I played GTA IV (BLES00229) and GTA IV Episodes from Liberty City (BLES00887) as 2 separate games.
The Complete Edition (BLES01128) needs to be mounted from external or it needs a fix to work from internal:

Ah that's why yours worked.
I have actually seen that fix while searching for a resolution but, I have the US version; I didn't think it would work as it says the gameID has to match the European version.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
