PS3 How to merge number of pkg?

[geohound88]

Hi guys,

I've got a problem - for me, everything works great (installing HAN, transfering games from PC to PS3 via Link tool, already played "Journey"), but i've downloaded Beyond Two Souls as a 7-8 .pkg files and I don't know how to merge it into one file.

It looks like:
BTS_00.pkg
BTS_01.pkg
...
BTS_07.pkg

Linker can't list/see those files thus it can't be transferred to PS3. What can be done here? Or my only option is to put those files like above onto drive and plug to PS3 and try installing with HAN?

First check if all the files can be opened with pkg_viewer. If ALL the files open, then you can install them in sequence.

If only BTS_00.pkg opens and the others fail, then you can try merging the files using the following command in CMD.EXE

copy /b BTS_00.pkg+BTS_01.pkg+BTS_02.pkg+BTS_03.pkg+BTS_04.pkg+BTS_05.pkg+BTS_06.pkg+BTS_07.pkg BTS_merged.pkg

Then install BTS_merged.pkg

Will try, thanks thousandfold!

You have opened my mind I've merged it using Total commander, link-transferred and installed - worked like a charm. Thanks!

EDIT: Still it took AGES to transfer and install... 60minutes for 31gb transferring thru cable + 1.5h of installing...

Next time try connecting the PS3 to PC directly

is it normal not having a picture when installing?

if you mean merging (cmd), I don't believe there's any indicator that it's doing anything. you'll know when it's done though. if you mean on the ps3, then no, that's not normal.

yea it was on ps3. that means the file may be corrupted?

I've personally never heard of your issue. normally, the ps3 will error on you if a pkg is corrupted. I'd suggest reinstalling the firmware.
