PS3 Game Backups on OFW 4.70 Consoles Without ODE and IDPS Guide

For those who haven't been following the PlayStation 3 scene lately, now you can run PS3 game backups on official Firmware (OFW) 4.70 consoles without any ODE and IDPS using the game injection method detailed below.

This is a bit reminiscent of the PS4 PSN Trick to Unlimited Share Games and PS4 Russian Jailbreak Method using a Raspberry Pi.

To quote from tukil, roughly translated: Starting backup on PS3 OFW 4.70 Tutorial

Now you can run backup games on the PS3 OFW 4.70 consoles without any ODE and IDPS.

What you will need:

• The disc version of the game and the patch (and) it
• Converter: GAME_CONVERT.zip
• Injector: TrueAncestor the BACKUP Injector (Mirror: TrueAncestor_BACKUP_Injector_v1.70.zip)
• Hex editor: HX-D - the Hex Editor is Freeware

1. Open archive GAME_CONVERT.zip any archive and extract packed inside GAME_CONVERT folder at any convenient place, preferably close to the root of the drive (NOT the folder path should be long and contain Cyrillic characters and other signs such as @ & () "/ [\ ]:;! | =,)

2. If you have downloaded the game in an ISO you need to unpack it or mount a virtual drive. Of all the files we need only PS3_GAME folder, copy it to GAME_CONVERT. This also unpack the archive GAME_CONVERT.zip, containing script-BAT and utility make_npdata. As a result, you should get this:

3. We go in and check out there PS3_GAME presence LICDIR folder. If not, then read a spoiler:

Creating PS3_GAME \ LICDIR \ LIC.DAT
Spoiler
4. Run CONVERT.BAT, continue to enter the name of our future in the game folder NPEBXXXXX format (where XXXXX any five-digit number), click the interval, waiting ... After the completion of the script, next to the other files will be almost finished with the game folder.

5. It's time to unpack the patch (s). If the patch is not one, then you need to unpack them all and merge into a single folder, from smallest to largest, while agreeing with the replacement.

6. Copy EBOOT.BIN file from the patch to the folder USRDIR our converted games. Editing, if needed, PARAM.SFO. (Change the version of the game, and the firmware on the exact same as in PARAM.SFO patch)

7. Finished the game folder and the folder with the patch throws in "TrueAncestor BACKUP Injector \ game" and create a backup for instructions. Something like this should look ready patch folder and games.

Finally, below are some older videos on the PS3 SuperSlim / Slim Jailbreak OFW 4.70 Method by tomy azura steanly and one from dylan pantinople for those seeking a visual demonstration:

 

[misiozol]

hes talking about slim and superslim, we all know that it cant be done with with the said revisions,. a downgrader patch for 4.70 for people with slim or superslim makes a sense right?

Please tell me how you conclude this , is he wrote anywhere what console he uses/have ?

 

[KADAOUIGAME]

for m i have ps3 slim 3004 a 4.80 so i can't downgrade it to 3.55 i just want to downgrade it to 3.63 with e3 flasher and upgrade to 4.70 to install games

 

[misiozol]

And now we can start to talk with this info

 

[albatawy]

Please tell me how you conclude this , is he wrote anywhere what console he uses/have ?

what method did you use

so after hours of testing i conclude this method is NOT WORKING on latest firmware 4.81 (not tested in in 4.80) everygame tested on 4.70 i giving error 80010006 in 4.81, but if you install all the games from 4.70 then update to 4.81 the game will still work fine LIKE IN THIS VIDEO (after installing it on 4.70 i updated it to 4.81 and the games still doing fine even after several reboots of the system, i never tried psn because its under maintenance when i tried it)

but after your next format(or new backup and inject method),. you cannot run the games that confirmed working 4.70 installed with error 80010006 all the time(afro samurai tried to boot but stills ends me back to xmb with same error)


what you can try is install all games you want in 4.70 OFW then update to
4.80/81 (works fine) or stay in 4.70 for more safe gaming


the 1st page is the right way to install the games
i just skipped param.sfo editing, if you need to edit param.sfo use paramsfo editor(can be found in aldotools) or you will get string error in TrueAncestor BACKUP Injector, if .sfo is edited in notepad

i guess now is the best time to make a patchlist for downgrade to 4.70 at least for people with slims 3k and superslim ps3's

i will get another lower fw ps3 to test more games(and i will not update it for now until a new patch for downgrade is made )

xxdylanxx

so, backup transfer utility is useless now for 3k and 4k consoles on 4.81. have you tried data transfer utility? crysis 3, afro samurai, cod waw, fight night round 4, nfs undercover, dragon's crown were fully tested and work well on 4.81.
