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

do not use demo update, leave it behind or edit the PARAM version matching the update..

hey what if it ask for update then and also can u tell me the game full game can be blus or bles right

Here is one link with demo packages: http://psndl.net/packages

Also some people use PS3Tools v4.8.1 to download game updates, etc.

Thank you,

just wondering, would it be possible to use last game customizer to create an Eboot that will boot games from the hardrive?

I tried it with J-stars Victory, the error was gone but it just came back to the XMB. cant understand the UI of the program, there are options to choose where to find the game folder and where to find the Eboot, i have played around with it, but no luck.

I've never used it so not sure about an EBOOT, but from the description HERE it sounds like it creates a shortcut to the last game played via MultiMAN.

To quote: "lastGAME is an application that mounts that LAST game played on multiMAN without having to launch it. Indeed lastGAME is multiMAN but without GUI and extra features.

It is not limited to launch the last mounted game from XMB, it also supports mounting the last AVCHD movie you loaded from mM.

It now supports the new payload from mM 04.20.00+, launch PS1 BIN/CUE from XMB and more."

If anyone else knows feel free to chime in thanks!

Thank you,

The output was in PKG, so I also had to unpack it. Anyway, I had the impression that it can edit the eboot to execute games on a different folder. Here is a shot of the interface

Convert the games as normal, then download the demo versions from the link of PSXHAX and EXTRACT the Eboot of the PKGs, into the USRDIR of the converted game.

MINECRAFT STORY MODE ALSO WORKING
