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

has anyone found a fix for resident evil 6 save data error? I have tried running the ga,e on multiman first, it did saved my game thought it was ok but after I transferred it to ofw, I needed to delete the save date because it was made from a different console, then i had the same problem again. Thanks in advance

for the black screen you can fix this easily by going to the multiman > Root > hdd_00 > game > the game that gives you the black screen then find files with (.sdat) type and change it to (.SDAT) and if it was (.SDAT) change it to (.sdat) mostly the files will exist in the USRDIR folder check both the NPxx folder of the game and the BCxx the update, back to me if you still getting the black screen i also got the black screen with NBA 2k17 and solved it this way hope it does work for you , Its the GAME_CONVERTER mistake it doesn't know what the system can read SDAT or sdat some works with SDAT others work with sdat so you know what to do

My experiments, on PS3 CFW 320GB me there is only one game convert and 10 games in multiman, and has 30GB free space, when completed transfer to OFW 320GB, in ofw also only have 30GB free space. whereas there is only one game and multiman logo also appeared on the XMB but an error when signing in.

It is satisfying and makes me want to try again, to add to the game convert and remove games in multiman and transfer again to cfw. thanks to albatawy and all the brothers who have helped.
