How to Make PS3 CFW Games Work on Any PlayStation 3 OFW Guide

Following the PS3 Game Backups on OFW 4.70 guide, this method by me (Hibatullah Albatawy on YouTube) details how to make PS3 CFW games work on any PlayStation 3 OFW with a summary from @djurist located HERE.

Note that it needs two units of PS3 the CFW as the master and OFW as the target.

STEPS:

1. download GAME_CONVERT.rar
2. extract it to C:, it will be PS3>Game Convert>Convert.bat and make_npdata.exe
3. copy any PS3_GAME that have LICDIR folder in it, if it doesn't have then you have to find it yourself with LIC.DAT Generator online http://jonnysp.bplaced.net/lic.php#
4. paste it inside Game Convert folder, it will be PS3_GAME, Convert.bat, make_npdata.exe
5. double click Convert.bat, type NPxxxxxx, these x are your retail game id. for instance, the game id is BLES12345, then you must type NPEB12345.
6. wait untill it finishes its job
7. make a glass of hot cocoa
8. when it's done, you can see a new folder exist.
9. download the patch update for that game (BLES12345) and extract it. put the eboot.bin out of it. place it in NPEB12345/USRDIR/
10. create a folder named TEST on an external HDD (FAT 32)
11. copy NPEB12345 and BLES12345 (the extracted patch update), paste it into folder TEST.
12. on PS3 CFW 4.81, copy the two files into dev_hdd0/game..
13. do Rebuild Database
14. the game will be shown in XMB
15. turn on PS3 OFW 4.81 and plug an ethernet cable and connect it to PS3 CFW one.
16. on CFW, go to Settings> System Settings> Data Transfer Utitlity> pick number 1> say no> say no> waiting for transfer> enter
17. on OFW do the same way, but pick number 2, just wait till it gets questions for asking to format, hit yes and yes.
18. and transferring, happy waiting
19. drink your no longer hot cocoa
20. profit

Is it possible to use injection method to inject dlc?

yes, if you're on 4.70 below.. and if you're on 4.81, why bother using injection?

can't get Bioshock Infinite BLES01705 and GTA IV BLES00229 working, those games freeze when it's loading. Any suggestion how to make it works ?

Shame it's only for ofw 4.7x

 

[Boloul]

i think not all cfw games will work o ofw because i've downloaded Ben 10 Omnivers 2 BLUS31215 and it has no game update so when i put into the ps3 it says 80029530

is there any method that help us to make the game without the need to updates

I'm on 4.66. but I'm having trouble injecting burnout paradise dlc. I extracted the dlc package and placed it in the /game folder, because I couldn't inject the pkg as it is debug. I also used Yutolios psnstuff database to download the dlc. It simply does not show the unlocked content, like I had not used anything at all.

What about if i made the steps above on the cfw console and after that i made a backup from the cfw console then restore it on the ofw console 4.81

it's a waste of time, why don't you just directly transfer it form cfw to ofw then...
