I have been reading and reading and reading and it still isn't clear..... There are several apps... multiple ways... #wtfwhyisntthereoneproperguide.... WHERE? Is the.. this is how you ISO>PS3, This is how you PKG>PS3, this is how you Folder>PS3??? I personally know that the size of ISO and PKG cant fit on Fat32... so where is the NTFS, ISO/PKG>PS3? Folder Games fit on Fat32 but where is the Folder to PS3?

I have tried copying folder games to the PS3 off of a USB and nothing is visible... I tried locally copying to ISO and though it is visible it just goes back to the XMB.. I tried installing games as PKG and they want an update and then they don't work afterwards...

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

I installed Minecraft and it updated but when I load it the game says Failed to launch... Ratchet and Clank says it needs to update but when I press X nothing happens...

I recently switched my PS3 library from folders fat32 to iso ntfs

Format HDD NTFS

Make PS3ISO folder in root of USB

Put ps3 iso game in PS3ISO folder

Make sure to have webman installed

In webman do a refresh of xml

Games will be in webman under PS3

I'll try that thank you...

Ok so Minecraft came as a PKG game. I installed it through the REBUG PKG installer. When the game launches it says "Minecraft PS3 Edition" has failed to load, and cannot continue.

Ratchet and Clank came as a set of folders. I copied the folders over to the PS3. I then selected the folder and chose to Copy-to-ISO into the internal PS3ISO folder. I did as suggested above and did the webman refresh and then it showed up under the webman folders. Just as when I launched it with multiman though, the game gets to a screen that says it needs to install game data onto the internal HDD and I need to push X. Then it seems like it is frozen because I push X and it does nothing... nothing at all.

**Went back to the books**
After some more research I have solved my problems. Thank you to everyone that stopped by but was not ready to reply yet.

As for Minecraft, the PKG I had was bad another one from a different source fixed the issue.

As for Ratchet and Clank, I am going to assume there was a quirk in the system when I transfered the Folder/Files over to the PS3 and then tried the Copy-to-ISO method. The reason I make that assumption is based on knew knowledge. I found a PC app that handles verifying Folder/ISO games that also converts Folder games into ISO (PS3-ISO-Rebuilder). When I verified the Ratchet and Clank Folder game everything was fine. I used the same app to build a new ISO and transferred it over to the PS3 and the game worked no prob.

Ok so all that being said... I now have the knowledge to answer my first question....
ISO Game - Use an NTFS drive, Use IRISMan to transfer the ISO to the PS3
Folder Game - Use PS3-ISO-Rebuilder to convert to ISO and then follow the above
PKG Game - Use the Package installer built into REBUG CFW/IRISMan

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
