i can copy all pkgs to one dir, then run my script. and foreach pkg file, it creates PS3_EXTRA/D000 D001 D002 ect ect. and inside each of these folders, i am able to copy the pkg file and rename it to "DATA000.PKG", extract from pkg and copy ICON0.PNG to PS3_EXTRA/D000 and then rename it to ICON2.PNG, and then copy a template PARAM.SFX and modify it correctly as well. i even made an iso and it works great serving it from netsrv.

FYI To install the pkg from netsvr, you just need to put the pkg in any folder (e.g. /packages or /PKG), mount that folder using ps3netsvr and install the .pkg using ★ Install Package Files

Alternatively you can create an "Install Game" with /PS3_EXTRA and mount it from /GAMES or /GAMEZ via ps3netsvr. The ISO is only necessary if you want to mount the "Install Game" directly from PS3. It can be a single ISO for ntfs or split ISO for FAT32.

TIP: A very easy way to create the PS3_EXTRA folder structure with ps3 tools collection is: Copy the pkg files to /PS3_UPDATE, right click on PS3_UPDATE and select Make PKG. It will execute "Create PS3 EXTRA" and the pkg files will be moved to PS3_EXTRA with a copy of ICON0.PNG as ICON2.PNG and the PARAM.SFX. Also the install flag in the PARAM.SFO is updated.

I have troubles with this as I don't have internet I use my cell with wireless tether and it has its drawbacks but your other method mentioned works great and is a time saver thanks!!

ah i gotcha i was unaware of mounting and then goinf to install package files, i thought it mounted to app_home for some reason. that is why i always had trouble with that. but anyway i did complete it and i have an iso right now with abunch of my repetitious tools that i use plus a few game updates, and it loads just like a regular iso.

if anythign i learned a little bit lol. thanks for the info btw, heck i was unaware you could extract individual files out of a pkg up until 12 hours ago lol

edit: you wanna try it out? ill send you a link in a pm if you want [MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION] :P
