I'm trying to use the Game Updater, entered the IP of the console but it freezes shortly after starting to read GAMES folder. Any ideas?
It does that for me as well. So I don't bother using it.
You can download game updates as normal on a PS3 without signing into PSN, all you need is the PS connected to the internet.
Just mount the game to the XMB press triangle on the game > Check for Updates
Or if you would prefer to download them manualy to your PC so you have them backed up to use anytime you want, you can download them directly for the servers using your PC web browser.
I am going to use BO1 as an example....
Firstly open a new tab in your browser, then paste this URL in... but don't load it yet...
Next replace the title ID of the game in RED with the title ID of the game you want to download the updates for then load the page... you might get an Insecure page warning but just accept and continue to load the page and you will see something like this...
<titlepatch status="alive" titleid="BLES01031">
<tag name="BLES01031_T12" popup="true" signoff="true">
<package version="01.13" size="
65334960" sha1sum="
036c533b51df35d803df12f21a4abeb877fe43f5" url="
http://b0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/...S01031_00-CODBLOPSPATCH012-A0113-V0100-PE.pkg" ps3_system_ver="03.6000">
<paramsfo>
<TITLE>Call of Duty®: Black Ops</TITLE>
</paramsfo>
</package>
</tag>
</titlepatch>
You can right click on the page and select "
Save as " to save this xml. In the XML you can see the download link in
RED .
This only has 1 update still "Active" but other's have more. Copy and paste these URL's into your browser's address bar and the game update will start to download. DO this for each of the updates in order and install them on your PS3 in the right order.
You can also see other usefull info in the XML like the
PKG's SHA-1 hash check which you can use to verify the PKG file is ok and has not been corrupted in anyway during the download.
And you can also see the
PKG Size as well so you know its the right size when its finished downloading. PKG size is in Bytes.
I tend to edit the XMLs so they look like this so its easier to read in the future if you ever need to download them again..
Example: GTA5
Code:
Grand Theft Auto V
