Is PS3GameConvert a virus?

Johnny Cowboy Cool Hat said:
I have been looking at the CFW2OFW compatibility list trying to see what games I could put on my recently updated PS3 HEN. Some of the notes told to use the PS3 Game Convert tool, I researched it, and downloaded it. But for my surprise, Google and Windows had identified it as a virus!

Here is where I did the download...

I dunno where you got the file from so I cannot guarantee that what you have is legit but your AV warning could just be a false positive.
The executable might be detected as a virus because it contains algorithms to analyse & patch files, the same kind of algo that a virus may use to spread its payload or whatever.
It happens with many legit hacking tools.

Here is a working link to the 0.91 executable if you need it.

This is kinda strange, because your link didn't have any problems, and my computer didn't say anything.

It could be one of 2 things.
1. your first file was indeed infected.
2. it is not the same version & the algo which signature was detected by the AV was modified (intentionally or not) by the devs in such a way it is no longer detected .

Either way, you should be OK with the 0.91 executable. I cannot remember if there was an update after v0.91, I don't think so.

FYI
With PS3HEN, you don't need to use CFW2OFW. That stuff was made a few years ago for consoles without PS3HEN (at the time it didn't exist).
The aim was to make retail disc files into a working npdrm release (PSN game type). Proper resigning & binary swapping using game updates npdrm executables allowed retail games to be installed on OFW without the disc.
But I really would not bother with that stuff if I were you, unless you are researching it or whatever.

With HEN, you don't need to patch or resign your games!
Supported game formats are the same as on CFW.

1. ISO files (disc dumps made with makeps3iso either on the PS3 or on PC). It's the recommended way.
2. JB folder format (disc dump as folders & files)
3. PSN games (downloaded from PSN services or installed manually via pkg files)

I'm using a PS3 Super Slim Hen and I have been trying to download some games. I know that you can download PKG files, but is it possible to download with BLUS games?

Thanks for saying that because I was (and still am) very confused about how those things work.

Sorry but it is piracy, we cannot help you with that.
I also suggest you read the forum rules you agreed to follow on signing up. https://www.psx-place.com/threads/site-forum-rules-guidelines.79/
