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

What progam did you use to convert Far Cry 4?

try deleting its game data, then start the game and let it install the game data again..

I think @butrok is using a disk ver. of Far Cry 4. If you delete the game data, that will also delete the patch right? If the patch is deleted how can you run the game in OFW?

@albatawy The directory in TROPDIR is NPWR11866_00. What shoul I rename it to?

some games work, some don't.. just like mk vs dc it works if you delete the patch..

@albatawy The directory in TROPDIR is NPWR11866_00. What shoul I rename it to?

don't edit anything just replace the whole folder of TROPDIR from JP version the converted one...

 

[WalangAlam]

@albatawy So I need the jap version of the game, convert it, copy the TROPDIR of the converted jap copy of the game, then paste the converted jap tropdir to the ps3_game folder of the converted us version, replace? is this correct?

download the game patch directly from console and try booting the game again or try this: re-install the patch, use the cfw format game, load it in multiman and let the game install its game data, restart the console, start the converted game.
