PS3 HAN Are you able to get Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas to work with HAN???

Don't use cfw2ofw, use ps3gameconvert && make sure to resign the packages. I myself didn't enable debug pkg, I just resign the packages and install them. Make sure you get the param.sfo right so the eboot will work. I was going to uninstall FNV and try again but I don't want to risk running into problems again lol.. My ps3 is down to it's last 10gb of space, and even my computers HDD is getting pretty low lmao. I need an external HDD. For the record, I'm on HAN 4.82. With a trusty CECH3001A that I've had for roughly 8 years now. (still runs perfect to this day lmao, praise the sun.)
I'm on a CHECH4001C for record keeping purposes I'm posting that now.
 
Yeah honestly I've tried the install close to 20 times but I can say I haven't used ps3 game convert along with editing the param to say 1.06 in the version AS WELL AS the app version. That's one version of this install process I have not attempted. I do have the files prepared and ready for conversion but I'm in the middle of something else presently.

bro just try atleast one time the method we are sharing with you because is the right one for making the game to work. we are trying to help you but if you try another thing instead the right one is normal that it wont work and turns this in a nosense. just follow the steps or watch the videos that i shared and then if it dont works we can talk about some point where you could have missed but if you try different things... next time if it dont works say what did you do point by point and we'll try to help

I'm not saying "i tried 20 times" like a complaint or anything, each attempt has been with instructions from this thread once with CFW2OFW and once with gameconvert each. Like I said though I have followed your instructions I cannot transfer the file to my system over pkglinker currently so I'm going to attempt the newest major pothead route and then get back to you. But again, I can't tonight.

Yeah I know that lol. Don't you still need to enable debug pkg to launch unsigned cfw2ofw conversions though? Was under the impression that resigning them they will launch no matter what, even if one were to update to 4.83.

Again, DO NOT RESIGN with Ps3Xploit-Resigner CFW2OFW retail disc conversions (Debug Packages) no matter what you think 'works' for you. Resigned PKGs just complicates things because Resigned PKG games require HAN enabled to install and play.

WHY? After a Debug PKG (PKGs output from TrueAncestor_PKG_Repacker_v2.45 or make-backup-pkg) is installed with Enable Debug Package activated, playing that installed CFW2OFW convert will not require Enable HAN activated every time. It runs just like an injected or DTU CFW2OFW convert. Why? Because retail disc CFW2OFW converts already has licences in them, the LIC.DAT.
 
...I have found this error "80029567 Signing check failed, HAN Enabler not ran or debug installer ran by mistake or pkg not resigned...

...I cannot transfer the file to my system over pkglinker currently...

I think the problem is not with PKG Linker or any routes you've tried so far. The problem is you not following exactly the instructions. Instructions did not say anything about Enabling HAN or resigning the PKG — just says install with Debug Packages enabled.
  • If the PKG you have is resigned, of course Debug Package activated will not allow resigned PKGs to be installed, that's why you got error 80029567.
  • Make sure you do not enable HAN and Debug Package mode at the same time because that can happen:
    • Enabling HAN mode then after that enabling Debug Package mode is possible
    • But enabling Debug Package mode first then enabling HAN mode is not possible
Since you've completed the part about turning your conversion folder into PKG, I suggest you follow that up with these steps:
  1. Forget what has worked for you before like resigning CFW2OFW converts and enabling HAN during install --- just go to step #2,
  2. Do not resign your converted game's PKGs, just let them be Debug PKGs,
  3. In your PKG Linker 2.0 folder, put in your conversion game PKG, patch PKG, LIC PKG,
  4. Run PKG Linker V2.0.exe,
  5. Reboot your PS3 to lose whatever HAN or Debug mode it may be on,
  6. After reboot, do Enable HAN mode because you're going to download and install Package_list.pkg made by PKG Linker in the next step,
  7. In XMB, under PKG Linker menu, select [Refresh List],
  8. Reboot PS3 so it finally shows your game PKG, patch PKG, LIC PKG on XMB under PKG Linker menu,
  9. After reboot and you see the desired list of PKGs, do Enable Debug Packages,
  10. Install your PKGs in the said order: 1. game PKG, 2. patch PKG, 3. LIC PKG
Completing Step #10 will let you play your backup without ever needing to enable HAN or Debug Packages every session.

Uhm, I've resigned every single cfw2ofw / ps3gameconvert conversion I have installed. All of them run fine, and I don't need to enable HAN to play them... The other guy made mention of this too.. I just turn on my system and launch the game. Digital, psx, and ps2 games are the only ones that require you to enable HAN to play..

I'm pretty sure the tutorial I initially followed months ago said to resign after running make_backup_pkg anyhow. Here you go for reference.

  • Copy/Move the contents of your ISO to "\WORK\CFW2OFW Helper" folder
  • Run "CFW2OFW Helper.exe"
  • CFW2OFW Helper will start to download the relevant update for your game.
  • It will create a folder with your Games title
  • Inside this folder are another 2 folders. "NPUB..." and "BLUS..." these may be different if your game region is different to my example.
  • Copy/Move these 2 folders into "\WORK\make-backup-pkg" folder.
  • Run "do.bat"
  • Leave the command window to do its thing.
  • When complete, you will have 3 PKGs that start with "000000-NPUB...." (filenames may vary)
  • Copy these 3 PKGs to "\WORK\PS3xploit-resigner-master\rifgen-master" folder
  • Sign each one by dragging each one onto "ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe"
  • Copy the resulting signed PKGs to USB root
MOVE ONTO SECTION C

Not to mention, in terms of the trouble this guy is having (insert disc error) I'm more than certain it has absolutely nothing to do with debug_pkg. Much more likely something he missed while editing the SFO file. He doesn't necessarily have to enable debug to install the game.... I didn't.....

I don't believe you've read my posts at all but that's okay, like I mentioned previously I have NOT resigned the debug packages at all ever, and I have not attempted to enable HAN either. What I was talking about was the inability to transfer them over pkglinker because when you enable debug packages it disables pkglinker. That's the only thing I've stated. I'm not sure how to transfer a file larger than the FAT32 limitations because pkglinker does not work if you enable debug packages. Any discussion with package resigning was related to another topic of discussion. When you enable debug packages as stated in your instructions step 9, it disables your ability to use package linker in step 10. That's all I've said.

because when you enable debug packages it disables pkglinker.
What do you mean by this? In what way is it disabled for you? As far as I know lots of people are using PKG linker to install their CFW2OFW games, there is no other way except to split the pkgs.

I mean that when I enable debug packages and then go to download packages from web server, I receive error 80029567 which according to the PKGlinker 2.0 thread can be caused by enabling debug packages for install.
EDIT: Unless I misread something

Yes, I think you have misunderstood. That error will show up if you try to install a fake signed pkg (HAN) with debug pkg enabler enabled, but for unsigned debug pkgs it should work fine.

My unsigned packages give me that error when debug is enabled unfortunately.
 
well must be an issue with your pkgs then, as many people are using PKG linker for their CFW2OFW converts, not sure what it could be tbh.

I enjoy the grind of trial and error so I'll figure it out and report back.
EDIT: I'm gonna give the debug packages another go over linker right now

Well it's working now, not sure what went wrong before I'm even using the same packages. The unsigned packages are downloading as I type.
 
fallout new vegas works fine with spanish update but i need the french language did it works well with the french update

There can be issues if you switch from HAN enabler to Debug enabler and back again. Best to reboot if changing pkg type I guess. It might have been something like that.
 
Finally!! LOL, report later if the game worked
Debug didn't work but my ps3 has had some issues the last few days that's why it's taken me so long to make this attempt. I have to test some other things then I'll be able to determine if it was another issue that made the debug package not work properly.
 
fallout new vegas works fine with spanish update but i need the french language did it works well with the french update

i didnt test it with the french update but it should work perfectly, just use the update BLES00902 1.06 and do the same steps but changing the title id of the game to BLES00902

I've always resigned those as well, i find it a lot more convenient to just enable han and have it work for all games rather than making a note of which games to enable or disable it for
