According to a video I saw, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen works too.

I can confirm that MGS4 works with direct boot as long as it is in the ps3's internal HDD.
The reason for needing to be in the internal HDD is because the game haves a file over 4 GB's, which can't be transfered to a FAT32 external HDD.

Updated, thanks guys!
I have about 25 games that I will be backing up and testing all in due time, I couldn't get Fifa 11 (EU) (BLES01059) to run from Internal HDD, Directboot or not though. It was my own backed up copy.

 

[AndreTrek]

Just tested a few more games, Valkyria Chronicles works with direct boot, Tales of Graces f and Tales of Vesperia fail to boot.

According to a video I saw, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen works too.

He/she doesn't actually show them running. You see the game's pic and background but after he/she clicks to run said game, the camera turns away video ends.

this is just doing an install of the game on plain firmware with the geohot patch on it using the signed pkg of multiMAN on 3.55

Sims 3 didn't work for me. When I try to boot it it just goes back to the XMB

 

[luke_c]

Demon's Souls wouldn't work for me either, must be missing something else we need to do here :/

you should note that if you play in direct boot you the games won't open your old save files and will create new ones.
In other words you loose your game progress

Can someone test Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction? That's the game I'm playing right now, so I want to make sure it works before I update!

I cannot get any of these games to run with direct boot while non-jailbreaked. ALL games just go to XMB. I'm still on 3.41. Could that be the problem?

Well this IS for the 3.55 Multiman...

But I can't get Fifa 11 or Demon's Souls to work, we might have to do the eboot patch?
Anyway I'm out til' morning.

Not really. The MultiMan was originally a 3.41 PKG that was just signed with Geohot's tools so it would run on 3.55.

KILLZONE 2 UNBOOTABLE

 

[ZombiePosessor]

Anyone else playing the "This same thing happened with the Wii scene... lets just ride it out until we have a CFG-like app for PS3" game?
