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 anyone successful with Ni No Kuni? I pretty much borrowed my friend's PS3 just for this game but it does not have update and only has Demo.

I downloaded the Demo, it is named NPUB90846, the main folder is converted and named NPUB30947. I copied the EBOOT.BIN from NPUB90846 (demo folder) to the main folder. Then I edited the param of main folder but nothing needs changing because the Version and App version of the param files are the same.

However, when I copied both folders to the hdd0\game and rebuild. There are 2 versions installed which are Demo version and main Version. Demo version is playable as expected, but main version quit to XMB.

Where did I get it wrong? Can someone point out the mistakes I made? I also tried changing the ID of param in the main folder into NPUB 90846 but the only thing it does is when I run the main version, it runs the Demo version instead. (like a shortcut to demo version).

Help would be much appreciated because I tried many ways....

Thank you very much.

Sir, NPxx forlder only for cod and mg: pp? How about the eboot.bit? Will it without that eboot?

no you just need to copy the eboot from the update and copy it o USRDIR of the game

How can I transfer games with licenses. Do these games need to be patched like retail ones? What do I do with license files. Thanks in advance.
