PS3 Creating PS3ISOs on Linux

[PS3_GUY]

I am trying to read games from PS3ISO directory on an external NTFS drive but when i create isos from my Game Folders with "mkisofs -o output.iso gamefolder/" MultiMan sees them but doesn't load any artwork and upon trying to load the game it tells me that it is not a PS3 compliant iso.

Does anyone know how i can create ps3isos from linux without having to switch to windows?

Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to read this ;-)

It will not work because PS3 ISOs needs in addition magic number and total sector count somewhere at the beginning of the disc image. It is standard *.iso but just needs this extra info.

makeps3iso is as I remember also avaible for Linux, so this is the app which You should use (or genps3iso or makeps3iso versions for Windows via Wine).

Creating ps3 compliant ISOs require specialized software, you can't just throw everything into an image and hope it will boot.

You need to use a tool based in the code of "makeps3iso", is open source and can be compiled in windows, linux, macos, etc...

Try this tool, and remember ro report in his thread if there is some problem with it, as far i know the developer who made it didnt had much feedback

thanks a bunch for the incredibly speedy answers guys ;-)
makeps3iso does work for me thanks a lot

one more thing, how would i go about installing .pkg files from an ntfs drive? (IRISMAN is being weird, it suddenly disappeared, then showed up under GAMES in mmCM under the name Movian [the movie player i used it to play a video from my ntfs drive...])
Irisman seems ... unfinished, is there any other manager that can let me browse stuff like that?

Try to keep one issue per thread. Message board/forum is not chat/irc/discord/fb etc. ;p It is a database for peoples from the future who seek solved problems solutions.

In mmCM, You must switch to PFS drivers or else NTFS USB devices will not be shown ("dev_pfs0/" etc.). This is change per app launch, it isn't written to configuration file and is bugged.
