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

@juanuceta007 you need to change the .sdat files , after the convert.
Just go to the USRDIR folder and change the
0A.sdat to 0A.SDAT
0B.sdat to 0B.SDAT
0C.sdat to 0C.SDAT
0D.sdat to 0D.SDAT

then, unpack the update , copy the eboot.bin , and paste inside USRDIR folder of the NPEBxxxx.

Ok thanks I already did everything to the letter but now presents the first image with the logo nba but it is frozen there, already tested unpacking the update then the fix and then copying the eboot, and nothing frozen screen

Dont put the fix. forget it.

Just unpack the oficial update (EP1001-BLES02242_00-NBA2K17PATCH0101-A0101-V0100-PE)

, "copy" (not cut) the eboot.bin from it , and paste inside USRDIR folder of the created NPEB02242.

Thats it
