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

Small update, this seems like a glorified way to install older lic.dat titles, and the steps mentioned here are to get the controller working in the game Heavy Rain, so no go at a new method for newer games on OFW 4.81.
Noted, do you have a link to this on their forum? I may make an "Alternative Method to Install Older Lic.dat Titles" post so it isn't buried in this 66-page thread and would want to credit them for it of course. :)

I don't have the link handy right now but it's in the CFW games for OFW thread at pspx.ru; last page :)
 
@albatawy im trying p5, used jap update wit my us version, edit param to jap, but when i install trophy i get error...how to fix this? anyone. persona 5
Did you get it to run? I have tried but it wouldn't work; asks for disc before running.

Anyways, about your issue with trophies, maybe something messed up when editing the param? Maybe the trophies are somehow trying to run as the opposite TID (JPN/US) to what you set it in the param?
